What a great surprise! Amazing staff and authentic food. Will drive miles and miles to eat here.

Always superior food, ambiance and service. Fonda La Catrina has amazing tortilla chips salsa and guacamole. If you don't start with This trio, you are lame. The enchiladas are amazing. Tacos have super juicy chicken and are filling if you have 2-3. Margaritas are super and they do make a good skinny margarita if you want to eat more of your calories.

Lovely place and awesome food. Server was nice who made sure we are taken care. Front desk person could by more friendly and nice to ask if we want to sit outside or inside. Overall good experience and lots of vegetarian options.

Way back in April 2023, our household instituted a monthly Dinner Series for my daughter, who went from a picky toddler to a picky school ager to a picky teenager. In trying to support her in all ways possible, and especially once she became more curious about food and self-determined to be more adventurous and enjoy more variety, I created a way to hype up her curiosities by making it an adventure to go try new (to her) cuisines and invite trusted guests along for the ride! FLC was the 4th in the Series because when she expressed the next cuisine to be Mexican, I did some research on local FB and Yelp foodie threads and realized this was one of Seattleites overwhelmingly top picks for favorite Mexican. We rolled in BIG (with a reservation ofc!) last 4th of July eve with a party (and do I ever mean PARTY :) of 15 people. Mostly family on both sides with a few close friends thrown in. They seated us on their raised outdoor deck between their inside restaurant and their small back patio, but given the warm and lovely summer weather, all of the doors were open and windows were rolled up, giving the entire place an al fresco feel. The tables were of all sizes (from 8 to 2 tops) spaced out across the deck but we quickly put them together to create one large L-shaped table off to the side that felt more in spirit to the convivial celebratory spirit we were going for. What can I say? My dish and those I sampled (at least 4 others) were all incredible, as was the Cadillac margarita I enjoyed with the chips-salsa-guac we ordered to start (3 for the table). I got the Camarones Plate ($24) in the mojo de ajo style. The large shrimp were perfectly cooked in their garlic butter and the rice & beans were also flavorful (the beans had a generous topping of crumbled queso fresco on top). The star of the night - my daughter - got the Tacos Dorados (potatoes & cheese version) but with none of the toppings on top, rather on the side. I got to try, as it was too much for her. This is one of my Mexican faves and next visit I look forward to re-ordering it as intended with all the yummy groceries on top! We couldn't leave without dessert and the bites of flan and tres leches I tried were the perfect end to the meal - not overly sweet or heavy. There are obviously too many dishes ordered for me to go through them all (and this WAS almost 11 months ago so I think I've just about hit the end of my memory recall) but what I can say is that everyone left quite happy and effusively complimenting my restaurant selection. Highly recommend! Oh and if ya'll are curious about price, our total was $523.87 all together, including tax and a mandatory 20% gratuity (standard, for parties of 8 and over.) I think this was great value-for-$ (relatively speaking, remember this IS Seattle) as this included 10 adult bevies, a Mexican coke, a coffee, a horchata, 3 chips-salsa-guac, my daughter's tacos dorados appetizer as a meal, 12 mains of varying prices (from 2 $24 plates to mid-teens priced quesadillas/enchiladas/tacos/ceviches and a 2 tamale+tortilla soup combo), and 4 desserts!

An excellent place to stop for Mexican. Prices seem pretty fair for the big city. Good, fast service as well. And it's also cool room. Worth a visit.

Highs: delicious food, nice atmosphere with the brick and glass façade. A euphoric oasis in the urban desert, contrasted with the historic grime of this little Georgetown neighborhood. Hot take: the chips are the best Ive had in many years. Ehh's: Obnoxiously loud dining area for a mid week night. I would never go back on the weekend. The service felt rushed and indifferent. Lows: My $15 mango margarita was topped with an orange slice...annoying.

Great food, good service, nice atmosphere. We started off with house margaritas (good), followed by a small bowl of pozole rojo -- mm-mm delicious! We followed that up with tamales in mole and tamales in salsa verde -- both wonderful (we had a pork and chicken fillings). Great food. Being fairly warm, we sat in the part of the dining room which is partially outside ... good ventilation, but not completely in the open. They have both inside seating and truly outside seating as well. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the sound levels where we sat were just perfect (enough conversations in the background to offer some privacy, but not so loud that hearing your own conversation is difficult. The server was efficient and friendly, and the drinks came quickly. The food soon followed, though not before we'd had a chance to enjoy part of our drinks -- just perfect. We'll keep going back - love this place.
