Reviews
Such a good place! Love the parking situation, great food, and so many indoor and outdoor spaces that can accommodate whatever size group you’re coming with. The decor is so fun and colorful. Great service and easy independent ordering makes it an easy choice when catching up with friends or watching sports
Great food and atmosphere. Ordering is a little weird - you scan a QR code and then order and pay, then your food is brought out. I don't mind less server contact, because sometimes it's a bit much, but somehow the food prices and tip are on par with other places where you do get that service, so the math is off somewhere. Anyway, I'm mentioning it here so you're not surprised when you get there.
The food was delicious, and the people we did have contact with were very nice. We, unfortunately, couldn't get a table on the deck, but the view is great, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I'd say get there early if you want a deck table.
There doesn't appear to be a happy hour menu at this restaurant, but it's tacos, so not overly pricey anyway.
Overall, we had a good time and would come here again.
Love the fact that this place has wonderful outdoor seatings with an incredible cozy family vibe. The indoor setting seems to be pretty cool and comfortable, especially by the bar. We love the food here. Everything we had is delicious and fresh. We consider this a hidden gem in the Eastlake area. No reservation is accepted but usually, plenty of tables are available. No parking garage/ only street parking.
What a hidden gem! Beautiful patio, friendly staff and yummy watermelon margarita. I recommend the chili pepper salted rim with drink and the veggie quesidilla with added grilled shrimp :) I'll be back!
Little Water Cantina is a Mexican restaurant in East Lake right before the bridge. They have parking underneath in the garage or on the street. There's a few dozen tables, spread out between inside and outside (along with some heaters during the winter). You order through QR codes and food is brought out to you. Their menu size is decent, prices are ok and the food is good. Portion sizes are a bit small as well. Service is ok here, some of the wait staff are friendly and helpful while some just go through the motions. The views here during the summer of Lake Union are awesome, which makes this a busy spot during nice weather.
Strange ordering and paying using my phone. No waiter/waitress, except for bringing the food and drinks and setting them down. I prefer the older way of service by actually giving service. The venue was pretty good and we liked being by the water. Six people @ more than $200. (including 4 adult beverages).
I got the fish tacos and they were DELICIOUS! the Cadillac de Margarita which was so good - strong and a little fruity!
We had dinner here last night. I had the Spicy Margarita and he had the Daiquiri. We had the Shrimp Tacos and Veggie Burrito. It was kind of a weird dining experience. I personally don’t like the order from the website at the table approach. We didn’t ever get water and the wrong burrito was initially brought out us bother than this is was super delicious with great view and kind staff.
