Gracia

“What an amazing restaurant. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the place is lively. The food is amazing, a personal favorite is the chicken empanada but the tacos are fantastic as well. The churros are delicious, my favorite in Seattle.”

“The service was exceptional! Everyone was very nice and attentive to our needs. The food was great as well! The octopus / pork belly dish was the highlight. Also, loved the Pescados Tacos and Camarones tostadas. The coconut flan was a must have. Highly recommend the place!”

“Gracia in Ballard is an easy five-star spot for Mexican food in Seattle. The vibe is cozy and lively without being too loud, and it feels like a great place to hang out with friends or go for a casual date night. The food tastes super fresh and flavorful, and the prices feel very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Their tortillas are made to order, and you can really taste that warm, fresh-made difference in every bite. The tacos are big, loaded with fillings, and honestly, a couple of them can be a full meal. Their in-house sauces are awesome. They are really flavorful with just the right amount of kick to level up anything you are eating. I also loved their hot fruit punch. It’s a perfect cozy drink on a cold Seattle winter night. Don’t skip dessert: the churros are unique and super good. They fry them in a donut shape, make them fresh to order, and serve them with warm chocolate sauce. They have just the right amount of sweetness and are the perfect way to finish the meal.”

“We liked pretty much everything we ate here, the chicken tacos and barbacoa tacos were super good. The queso fundido came out sizzling hot and was delicious with the homemade tortillas. We had a reservation and were able to be seated a little early. The service was not bad but not great either, would have had more cocktails if we had been checked on. Plus the drinks were way too full of ice, if I’m paying $17 for a cocktail I want some cocktail in the glass. It was a decent meal and I think we agreed it was an A- grade.”

“We came here for brunch and Gracia delivered. Service was friendly and not intrusive. The food was executed well. We ordered the Tlacoyo con huevos, a burrito bowl with lengua, and a pork belly taco. The pork belly was my favorite - it was crispy outside and tender on the inside. Pricing is a bit higher than typical Mexican restaurants. However, the quality of the food was top notch. Will definitely come back again.”
