Villa Escondida

4.5 StarsLarge, spacious spot bumpin Latin American music. I could definitely seeing this place being the kind that turns into a club.The bar area slightly smelled of cleaning products.Amazing, nicely priced food. Guacamole, salsa, and chips ($7.50) were awesome and the chicken mole rollups ($16) were flavorful and amazing.Kind staff.

From the moment we walked to the front door. We were greeted with a friendly smile and given great service. The only two servers were hustling and doing an amazing job. The food was fresh and filling. The salsa was great and the Cadillac margarita was delicious.

Yes, yes, and yes again! This was a true Mexican food joint, and so happy we stumbled upon this one on our travels! Bonus points because they used water to cook their beans and rice, which isn't always typical - so worked well for us as vegetarians! The food was DELICIOUS! Unfortunately, I didn't slow down long enough to take photographs, but it definitely hit the spot. The quesadilla was flavorful, and the wet burrito had a good spicy kick (since we asked for some hot sauce inside). We placed a take out order, and the food was ready within 15 mins. It was appropriately labeled for our party and all substitutions/changes were appropriately noted. All in all, great experience and looking forward to going back again next time when we're craving Mexican food in the area!

Food was fresh and delicious. Service was exactly what we were looking for! The chips and guacamole were freshly made. My carne asada was cooked exactly how I like it too so that was a plus. Def recommend.

Really familiar menu with authentic tasting comfort foods. There's always great music playing, the waitress is so nice and it's just a comfortable place to be. one of the only Mexican restaurants i love in Seattle

Finally had a meal here with my partner, and the flavors blew us away. It was the closest to authenticity and in the center of Belltown, which made it super easy to walk to from our place. This will be a staple for when we're craving super complex Mexican dishes that take me forever to cook at home myself. Having a ton of Latinos/Mexicans patronize the place goes a long way to let you know that this place is it. We sat on the outside patio, but this restaurant is huuuge on the inside, and the place is super clean. The decor is also what you would expect from a Mexican restaurant; you got the colorful walls and cultural references throughout. Not super overwhelming, just what you would expect from a chill Mexican restaurant. As for service, wow, the second we sat down, their server immediately greeted us, let us know the specials, and answered our questions. There wasn't much of a wait for our food, and their servers were super friendly (bilingual) and efficient. We are very happy we finally made it over, and we plan on making it a habit.

Great simple Mexican in Belltown. Good margs, cold Mexican cervezas. We had both the Pozole Rojo (with pork) and the Pozole Verde (with Chicken). Both spicy and delicious. Great service too.

After running around downtown Seattle... which unfortunately isn't as frequent as it used to be for Steven and myself we decided to get some Mexican food for supper in the evening.I have been wanting to try this place for a while and glad I finally had the opportunity to do it. I had the Wet Burrito with pork. Ingredients that went into making the burrito were extremely fresh and very flavorful. And of course it wasno exception but the chips and salsa was a pretty good appetizer as well.Service was good too and very friendly . Good place to go in the Belltown neighborhood.

SERVICE: the service was great, very friendly and attentive. got our food very quickly.FOOD: first we ordered the chips and guac. the chips were super warm perfectly salted, the guac bowl was a little small but they were really yummy. i got the fish tacos with rice and beans, they were so fucking good (excuse my language). my boyfriend got the happy hour al pastor tacos (4) and he liked them but there was little bit too much pineapple. AMBIANCE: the ambiance was nice, there weren't many people in there (it was a rainy wednesday night) but we enjoyed the music as well as the cool led lights.PRICE: we had to pay separately for the chips and salsa but the price was pretty good considering the add ons. (chips and salsa, drink, and rice and beans) LOCATION: it wasn't a bad location, small walk up the hill from pike place. GENERAL OPINION: i would 100% recommend this place to anyone in the area. i would definitely see us going back!
