“ This place is outstanding. Service was good. I happily enjoyed a carne asada and will definitely go back to try more off the menu. My husband had their fish tacos and loved them. ”
“ El legendario has become a go to taco spot amongst my friends and I because you can't beat a good taco tuesday deal. They used to do 5 for $10 tacos on Tuesday - idk if they do it anymore, but they do have daily deals making it such a good staple eating out meal. Their al pastor is the best thing there and I like their salsa. It's a sit down, family vibes type of restaurant which I enjoy. ”
“ "There's no good Mexican food in Seattle" they say. Well they are wrong, dead wrong. They just aren't looking in the right places. You've probably seen El Legendario many times driving on Aurora Avenue and thought that you've wanted to try it. Listen up, it's a rainy day and you have nothing else going on. Curl up next to the fire with a fat burrito and get ready for the time of your life. The California Burrito is off the charts. Burritos are at their best with significant textural contrasts, and this one does the trick. The fries are perfectly crispy, unlike a lot of local attempts at California Burritos, which makes the experience elite. When you have a bite of that with everything else that's thrown in their beautiful tortillas, you will be in heaven. The nachos here are a heaping mound of everything that they could find in the kitchen. If you order these, be prepared to not eat much else. You will not be able to stop eating them, and you'll have to take home whatever else you ordered. They also have phenomenal mole, tortas, and anything else that you could desire from a Mexican restaurant. Go to El Legendario immediately if you want an elite Seattle Mexican experience. ”
“ Amazing tacos!! Got five carnitas at the Taco Tuesday price with a small guac for $1 extra - inhaled the first two before i remembered to snap a pic. So good! Also enjoyed the tamarind drink. Near the zoo, great stop after a day out. ”
“ We've been trying Mexican food around seattle for a while and it's always been bland and not quite up to par with what we ate in the south. We randomly stumbled upon this place. It has a homey vibe which I love, and the service was lovely! Did I mention this restaurant has lengua? Amazing! The food was delicious, flavorful, and we'll be back for more. ”
