Coming from Canada it can often be hard to find truly fantastic, authentic Mexican food. First of all the menu is fantastic. It's large without being intimidating and it has a wonderful mix of both breakfast, brunch and then traditional Mexican entrees. While you will find the normal street tacos. On the menu, I definitely encourage you to check out some of the entrees on the back side. They are absolutely wonderful! Menu they state that they're a family owned restaurant and their salsa is actually spicy and this is very true. The salsa is quite spicy. Portions are large and generous. Our shrimp entree had eight large shrimp on it as well as a wonderful serving of rice and beans and tortillas. Service is prompt and attentive and the room itself is lively, colorful and the washrooms are clean.
I highly recommend El 🫎
Atmosphere and service were both fantastic. The Paloma Rosa was perfect balance of tequila and grapefruit juice. The carnitas Street tacos were very good. And the plantain with cinnamon sugar dessert was a nice finish.
This will now be my go-to Mexican place. After moving up north from the southwest, I have been struggling to find a good authentic place, and this is INCREDIBLE. Flavorful food, colorful atmosphere. Look no further than El Moose
Super friendly staff. Authentic food served on traditional Mexican plates.
The menu features entrees from diverse regions. Everything we've had so far has been delicious!
El Moose in Ballard was a surprising location for such a delicious Mexican restaurant with delicious fajitas. I would recommend anybody in the area who likes the style of food (or any visitors missing it) to pay this restaurant a visit.
Lovely and cozy place, super friendly staff and delicious food! We got Camarones al Tequila, guacamole and the flan and everything was yummy!
Great authentic Mexican food options. I was with some friends having a mini reunion. We were loud at times and they were nice enough to let us have our fun. Two problems; at the end of the meal they kept coming to us more frequently to see if we were done. There was plenty of open seats so it’s not like they were trying to make room for a wait list. We just felt like we were being rushed. The other problem was separating the bill. I just ended up paying most of the bill because I didn’t want the hassle.

Nice small place. The food is fresh and delicious with every bite.
The restaurant can get filled fast. Parking can be difficult.
Do try their "street tacos".
Love this place for the most authentic Mexican breakfasts. Everything from scratch and house made. Huevos rancheros. Divorciados. Enchiladas de Puya. All superb and satisfying!
Cozy and authentic mexican food in Ballard area 😋. Tried manchamanteles and it was amazing. The home made chips with salsa are one the best I've tried. Staff was super friendly and food came out quick.
The menu has a decent variety and good prices.I will definitely come back. Parking can be challenging in the area.
