Poquitos Bothell

The ambiance was clean and unique!!
Friendly service, all the staff was helpful/nice!!

We stopped in here to watch the Seahawks/Lions game!! Our waitress was very attentive, checking up on us frequently/engaging in conversation, which was a nice change.

The menu isn't very big, more like a happy hour kinda dive of which we made just in time!!

We started with Salsa trio & chips! Loved the different salsas and flavors.
We ordered Corn Esquites and ate it with chips this dish was so flavorful!!!
I ordered carne asada fries. It came portion sized (something you can totally finish and not waste), lots of flavors throughout and delicious!
My BF ordered Tuna tostada not his favorite. He said it had a lot of flavors going on.

I was so hungry upon arriving I didn't take any pictures of the food!!
You do receive this cute little post card with your bill!!

8/22 - The lunch service was so great! The waiter always checked in. I came here once before wanting go try the quesadilla and loved it! My friend very much loved the salad as well.

I really liked the quest from the Tres Amigos! Haven't been disappointed here yet!

This has been one of my favorite Mexican spots for the past three years!

The chips and salsa are not free, or inexpensive. However, I would say that they are 100% worth it! That verde salsa leaves my mouth watering! Sweet, with a very nice spicy tang! If you want to go up a notch, try the Tres Amigos! It is my go to! Best queso I've ever tasted! Literally bowl licking worthy. I'm dead serious.

If you are captivated enough to try out some meals, here is what I recommend. The grilled chicken quesadilla is quite fabulous. The fresh pico and finishing sauce drizzle ties the flavorfull crispy dish altogether! Another delicious go to would be the taco sampler. A delectable combination of succulent meats. All layered with fantastic toppings!

The service I have here is almost always wonderful! I especially enjoy having Brandon as my waiter! He is so kind, talkative, and helpful! I had a birthday dinner hosted here a couple years ago and the entire staff was wonderful during that time as well! Great for big parties!!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely. I appreciate the dimmer lighting!

Definitely a must try if you are in the area! :)

The ambiance here is absolutely lovely and unique for the Eastside, but the rest of my experience fell a little short.

I went with a friend for happy hour to try some apps. The margaritas were lovely! Bummer that the chips and salsa weren't free. We also got chicken tacos. The food was all fine but not amazing or special. I probably wouldn't go back just for the food.

The service was pretty slow. We had a lot of different servers and never knew who to ask for another drink. The staff never came to our table proactively, we always had to hunt someone down.

Might go back to try and entree and see if things are less hectic after the happy hour rush.

Pretty but not up to reasonable expectations.

Food is bland or oversalted. No salt at all on the chips .. until you get halfway down the bowl and THEN there's tons of salt,? What gives?

12 bucks for a pair of teeny bean todtadas. Dry. The salsa that comes to the table is slurry pink stuff and a pico, which was the only acceptable thing..

Overpriced. Order a pineapple cider, they bring us a can.

At least 4 different indifferent servers attended us. We order coffee, a small cup of lukewarm coffee arrives. No refill. No checking in until the food is gone. We were starving and ate the stuff anyway. Not enjoyable. Will never return.

Aye carramba

AND servers openly complained loudly about customers who just left, while standing next to our table, by the bar .

This is why you can't go out in Bothell.

I met a friend here last November (Wed the 1st to be exact) while he was killing time waiting for his son's football game to begin at Bothell HS - they were the visiting team.

I arrived first and was told that our reservation (which my friend had made) didn't exist, but they were able to find a little 2 person booth open in the very corner of the bar area. When my friend arrived, he was pretty frustrated as he verified that indeed he had made a reservation for this location at 5:45pm. Nonetheless, we were very limited on time so had to make some quick decisions. In quick succession, we decided on the salsa trio ($7.50), tortilla soup ($14.50), enchilada suiza (verde tomatillo-cream sauce) w/ chicken tinga ($20). I wasn't wowed by anything - in fact, it tasted like Americanized low-quality Mexican food, made for the gringos but at prices that fooled itself into thinking it was fancy and better than it actually was. Thank god for my 2 stiff Purist Margaritas, at $12 each.

Service was fine, but again nothing special.

With all the great restaurants around the north end, and especially in Bothell and environs, it is unlikely that I'll bother to come here again.

We are always looking for places open late for dinner and tried Poquitos back in May. We were seated immediately and loved the atmosphere.

We got Al Pastor Tacos, and Enchilada Roja with Chicken. We liked both items that we got. We finished our meal with a Tres Leches cake, that we loved.

As soon as I walked up to the place, Poquitos looked good to me. Clean, fashionable, and with a great staff. The food was excellent and even with just a lunch menu, there were so many dishes I wanted to try. The beer selection was superb too. Parking can be a challenge, but otherwise it was a wonderful experience.

The restaurant had a great vibe to it. Even in the open, you could have a decent conversation without having to yell. The server was good and there was someone that came by often to check on us and even take our plates as we finished. 4 Stars

The food was ok 3 stars, not my first recommendation to go and grab tacos from. Ordered the tacos and they were street tacos and filled. You could have made 6 street tacos from the fillings. It would have been nice to have the double tortilla for a traditional street tacos but the single did not fall apart. The food was bland, no salsa was offered and I did not ask. One of the plate dishes was chicken which the plate was a layer of black beans (enough for 3-4 ppl) which was a bit excessive.

I would highly recommend if you are looking to grab a drink & appetizers with friends, coworkers or a date. As far as going for dinner, again not my first choice.

Stopped in for some food and drinks. Food was ok the ambiance was a comfortable location to sip and talk. Not a lot of food options on the menu but a lot of tequila choices. Definitely worth visiting if you want a little bit of Mexican food and some drinks.
