Red Star Taco Bar

One of the better taco spots in the city. Good vibe, great happy hour prices for food and drink, clean. Some servers a little on the surly side but don't let that stop you from the tacos and margs and Tecate. Oh and nachos are huge and delish! Go!

3.5 StarsFusion taco spot with margaritas in a festive space. Pros: -Portions are great. Tacos are filled to the brim and they do not skimp on protein. Burritos are also huge. -The fusion tacos are flavorful and creative. I think the flour tortillas are handmade or fresh or something because they are warm and fluffy and addicting. I tried the Agave Shrimp and Elote ($5.5) and Steak Salad ($5.5) tacos. Neutral:-Queso ($12) was tasty, but very salty.-There were some people chillin there working on their laptops. Respect but also, kills the vibes a little, lol.Cons: -Love that is is 21+ only. -I found the actual Mexican food items to be very bland. The side refried beans and Rice were watery and lacked flavor, and the carne asada burrito with guacamole was also just average. Staff was cool too.

Wonderfully delicious tacos. I visited on their 10th year anniversary where all tacos were $2.50, and helped myself to 5 of their 18 options. You simply can't pick a wrong option, and my personal ranking from good to best:5. Tequila like chicken4. Yucatán style roasted pork 3. Red Star Philly - tender beef & cheese simply melts in your mouth2. Catfish - light & crispy texture balanced with a pickle topping1. Carnitas - so savory & juicy, absolutely would order multiples of this

This place is lovely, great food, great prices, and also the fact that they are open till late hours makes it a great spot.

Taco Tuesday: $2.50/taco!!! 2 vegetarian tacos, both good. And their salsa is fresh and has a good kick to it ‍They have a menu for non-alcoholic cocktails and some NA beers to choose from, but plenty o alcoholic options (hence the 21+). Happy NA cocktails are on the rise. PiCoco was good but admittedly like most NA's tasted like fancy juice, but we're taking steps in the right direction at least !!I enjoy the long community table options. I think it works for the space and makes it feel more neighborhoody.Overall: always enjoy this spot. Super clutch location, lots around, good hours, no kids.

My daughter recommended this for dinner one evening and I could see why it is one of her favorite places to go. it wasn't too crowded and we got seated right away. We ordered a few beers and looked over the menu.The waiter returned, asked what we wanted, helped clarify some choices, and off he went.Our food was out quickly. And since we all got more or less an assortment of Tacos we got to taste a large portion of the menu. There was nothing disappointing about any ones choice.We ate, had a few beers, and chatted for a long time. Nice to be able to have a meal and not have to scream across the table or the place be so dark that you could not see who you were chatting with.The waiter was attentive so we never had a water shortage or need to hunt someone down for another beer. When I am back in Seattle I plan to go by there again!

The bar is cute and lively. I love this area that has some random bars and just really reminded me of the college days. The food was okay for me.Quesadilla-- 5/5 stars. I mean, it's kinda hard to mess up a quesadilla IMHO. I was in the mood and it delivered. Tacos- 3/5 stars. All the different tacos were an okay for me. Nachos- 3/5. OK. Nothing extraordinary.

I always come to this place when I was in uni. I'm always obsessed with their drinks but red sangria is my go to. It tasted like black current juice, it's so refreshing in summer and after eating a spicy taco. I got 3 different tacos, one of them was so spicy for me but they all tasted so amazing. The Chicken Karaage one was okay, it doesn't feel like it pair well with tacos! This was our first time sitting at the patio. It's pretty busy on a weekday. The service was amazing, our server was so sweet and nice. There's another server, he's so goofy and funny, and have the best positive attitude!

Wanted to try this forever. It was a huge disappointment. I think they were understaffed we were there 20 minutes and only got water. We decided to leave because no one would help us or even look at us and it wasn't crowded. Super bummed. Ambiance just ok. Food. I wouldn't know

Awesome. One time i got a free quesadilla here because we walked in when the kitchen was freshly closed, and a kind patron offered us her leftovers. She said to use a fork and knife. I wasn't inclined, but Bryan enjoyed it and later agreed with her assessment. Nice food, attentive service. Cute vibes.
