" Having lived in Mexico for several years, I can say that El Quetzal is one of the few places in Seattle that serves genuinely authentic Mexican food. The salsa served with the chips was fresh and flavorful, and the mole dish was exceptionally rich. Although the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality of food justifies it. I appreciate that they also offer unique traditional dishes that you don't find at regular Tex-Mex joints. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting El Quetzal, and it did not disappoint! I tried the mole enchiladas which were delicious and authentically prepared. The service was prompt and the staff was very accommodating. I loved the overall vibe of the restaurant. It’s colorful, vibrant, and definitely a place that encourages you to come back for more. Can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Quetzal last night for the first time and was impressed! The setting felt vibrant, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu. I tried their special burrito and it was packed with flavor. The only downside was the long wait time for a table since it was pretty busy. However, the food made the wait worthwhile, and I'm eager to check it out again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Quetzal impressed me during my visit! The service was warm and friendly, and the decor truly added to the authentic experience. I ordered the tacos de pescado and they were phenomenal, fresh and tasty. I would say the portions were fair for the price. I look forward to returning to explore more of the menu and suggest to friends looking for hearty Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely family dinner at El Quetzal last Friday. The ambiance felt both festive and comfortable. I enjoyed the combination of flavors in the chicken fajitas, and the kids loved their quesadillas. It's definitely a place that feels appropriate for families, and I appreciated the friendly service. Would recommend it for a casual night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" The other day, my friends and I went to El Quetzal, and we absolutely loved it! The enchiladas were amazing – full of flavor and topped with an authentic sauce. The atmosphere was cozy and quaint. I'm all for supporting family-owned places, and El Quetzal embodies that spirit. The margaritas could have been stronger, but that didn’t take away from our overall experience. I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves good Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Quetzal has become one of my favorite places for a quick bite! The street tacos are bursting with flavor, and the tortilla used is clearly made fresh. I appreciate how family-run it feels; the owners clearly care about their customers. The only downside was that the place could get quite busy during peak hours, so reservations might be helpful for larger groups. Still a solid choice! " (*Curated Review*)
