Daniel RossiMay 9, 2019I like a lot of things here. I like the pollo tacos for instance. I LOVE the verde salsa here. It is the best salsa in Seattle and there are some great salsas in Seattle. I’d drink this stuff.
Upvoted Mar 16- AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014When you return the kayak, head upstairs—Agua Verde also has a restaurant that serves Baja-inspired fare. The fish tacos and the salsa bar are excellent. Read more
- Daniel RossiMay 9, 2019Love the salsa. Best in Seattle. My favorite is the verde. This coconut flan is phenomenal. Save a little room for el postre.
Alexandra WattJuly 6, 2018They have a place to dock your boat specifically for the restaurant, they also rent kayaks. A great place to visit on a hot day.- Daniel RossiAugust 5, 2016They have great tacos.And their verde salsa is legendary. But if you want a breakfast burrito and coffee go elsewhere. They're SUPER slow and the line builds up. The wait can be excruciating.
Elizabeth BursteinOctober 26, 2019Lovely outdoor seating. Get the u dub purple marg. And chicken burrito. Good but slightly spicy guac
Jenn PSeptember 20, 2014The El Patron was delicious and huge. My strawberry marg was good but a bit steep at $9 IMO.
GloriaJune 27, 2015Order the horchata fresa, the fried cod or the yam tacos. The salmon taco and baked cod tacos were disappointing.
Erica WJuly 6, 2018The quesadilla de champinenos was delicious, and the half size was the perfect portion!
Colby MoorbergAugust 8, 2014Everything is good here. You can't go wrong. The fish tacos are especially good.
The happy hour is amazing! Get the Tunarita for $5 and some nachos for $3.50! The staff is always friendly and the to-go counter is very convenient
Tacos. Drinks. Salsa. It’s a great location to get something to eat and watch the water.- Alyssa RussellJuly 11, 2011LOVED the cadillac margarita and awesome steak dinner :) Beautiful setting on the water on a sunny day, and fun to chill on the patio! Read more
Axel VilasJuly 31, 2016Nice views but the service is pretty bad. The margaritas seem to have little/no alcohol. The layout is impractical, with the staff unable to explain the differences between the bar and restaurant.
Kori YoungNovember 12, 2016So good. Especially the chipotle hot sauce. I suggest breakfast with the family here.
Plenty of vegetarian options, and the Mexican chai is awesome.
Muthu Kumar VeerapenSeptember 1, 2014The view from the pier is a great accompaniment to the sumptuous tacos served!
Nam LeSeptember 2, 2011Salmon tacos are amazing! Don't forget to get the self serve salsas. They are the best part!
Regine JaveniaMay 8, 2013Order the Mole burrito or El Presidente with the Rice Milk drink, the ambiance was good and the food was terrific.
Amy PriestleyJuly 13, 2010A double kayak rents for $18/hr at the Paddle Club. Take it out to the left and thru the Montlake Cut to the Arboretum. So much fun!
Bacalao burrito is the bomb. Skip the the chips, and save all the room in your belly for this big delicious meal.
Sarah NelsonJuly 16, 2013Fish Tacos & Margaritas overlooking Lake Union. Great for a summer day lunch
Quesadilla Champiñón Best effing quesadilla I've ever had in my life.
Tiffany WordJuly 27, 2013No where near as good as all these reviews say. The tortillas were disgusting and it's extremely overpriced. The mangorita was good and pretty strong, but I'd never go there again or recommend it.

"Delicious and inexpensive (especially at Happy Hour). Find a seat next to the outdoor fire pit/table and grab a blanket for your legs/lap for a warm outdoor picnic-esque evening."

"If a walk in the park is not your thing, elevate your game with a walk through University Village. Cute boutique as well as brand name shops. Must stop by at Molly Moon's for a sweet treat!"
