Stopped here for salads while on a bike ride around the lake. Service: 4.5÷5 — counter service is friendly and fast, they give you a number and bring your food out when it’s ready. Order drinks at the bar and there is a designated spot to re-order drinks if you have a tab open — wish other places would add this feature. Atmosphere 3⁄5 — COLD, so cold. There is NO heat at all. It happened to be in the high 30’s low 40s today and it felt colder inside. Should have ordered soup to keep warm. Nice cozy booths and tables and there is a great looking open fire bar outside for evening. Teeth chattering made us hurry to finish our meal. Food 3⁄5 — large portion sizes, tasty protein options, fresh greens in the salads. The ceviche was a little over-limed so it was difficult to taste any of the seafood in it — just lots of acid. $ 12 salad was a little more pricy than I expected, but not outrageous. There are lots of options I’d like to come back and try.

I was looking forward to this spot for a long time. Unfortunately it fell short my expectations. I tried the Chicken Mole, far from! It was old chicken in red enchilada sauce. Yuck! If you want delicious real Mole sauce I’d recommend Th Baja Bistro.

Happy hour nachos are the best we’ve had! Tired of nachos that are all chips and no meat or «good stuff»? Search no more… this is the place.

Overall a decent, convenient place for slightly above average Mexican food for slightly above average price +Salsa bar is killer +margaritas are decently cheap and pretty good +Atmosphere is chill –The place is freezing cold in the winter, like no heat whatsoever. Bring a coat, wear it. They really need to warm the place up. –The food is usually just kinda warm too, never served nice and hot –My torta’s bread was kinda stale

Need a place to grab a drink with friends? This is the one. You really can’t beat their $ 3.50 margaritas all day. I had their nachos and they were great to share for 4 people. Eastlake needed a place like this and now we have it! Definitely worth a visit.

We really wanted to like this restaurant. Watched the huge effort put into the remodeling of the place, and the outdoor area looks great. The inside has the feel of a tavern, uncomfortable seating and just plain bad food. I had the fish and ate two bites. The black beans were bland, as was the rice. Others in our group had a decent cheese enchilada, but all agreed that we won’t be going back. So sorry!

Awesome spot. Awesome happy hour. It was a late Sunday night(past 9:30) and our first time trying Pecado Bueno… Matt was SO nice for how close it was to closing time– he welcomed us in and gave great recommendations for what to order. The chicken nachos are the best I’ve had in Seattle so far and the happy hour price was about $ 6. When going to their salsa bar I would highly recommend the salsa verde– delicious! Great food for a great price with nice and helpful employees… And a parking lot along the building as a bonus!

I am a Texan raised on Tex Mex, so I am constantly prepared to rip a place down for either bad food or bad service. I am also willing to sing the praises of a place that hits both. This place hits both. Awesome food, awesome service, great atmosphere, and I love the 3.50 Margarita. RECOMMEND: Three taco plate, with a mix of fish /pork /beef RECOMMEND: smothered burrito(or wet, I forget what they call it)

Pros: –Friendly service! –There’s another restaurant in quiet Eastlake! Yes! –Home of the cheap margaritas!(under $ 4 for their house one!) Cons: –Mediocre(read: bland) and overpriced Mexican food. The enchiladas were lacking in some major spice. –Their«mango salsa» was suspiciously devoid of mango, but had all the pineapple? I’m not too sure who they were trying to fool here… =/ Overall, I’m glad this place adds variety to the Eastlake food scene, but there are definitely a few better Mexican places out there.

This has got to be a strong contender for worst Mexican place in Seattle. Taco Bell is more authentic, more flavorful and not nearly as expensive as this. Do yourself a favor and go to El Camion, Tacos Guaymas, The Saint or pretty much anywhere else.

Watched them out together this restaurant over the course of the last few months. Tried it out tonight and it was awesome! The chicken soft tacos are out of this world. Salsa bar is tasty and their guac is the best I’ve ever had. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and even let me watch what I wanted to on the big screen. Definitely go here for happy hour! I’ll be back!

Sin Well. How can you not appreciate a place that encourages bad behavior? I Love love love this place! So excited for it to be open just a few blocks away instead of driving to Fremont for my taco and margarita fix. The salsa bar rocks! Best mango salsa I’ve had. The food is great. There’s nothing I’ve had I didn’t love. It’s difficult to choose each time I go! House margaritas are delicious. Aaaaand the seating/ambience is great. I love what they’ve turned the old quik stop mini mart into! Welcome to the hood Pecado Bueno!

Was excited about this coming into the neighborhood. Having eaten here twice now, noticing the food isn’t that good. Flavorless tacos that pretty much all taste the same regardless of meat selection. Good drink prices though.

Overall I have to agree with the other Unilocalers about the food. It needs more flavor! My fiancé had the carnitas enchiladas with the 3 cheese sauce which was really good. I had the mole chicken and it was aweful! Even the waiter told me I would need to salt it. The guacamole was really good though! At least they have that dialed in. The margaritas need some work. They were pretty tart. Overall I would give this new(very new) place another try while they get things figured out. However, for what we paid for dinner they should bus our tables for us. We aren’t at Panera.

I had the nachos. They were a good size and had a nice amount of toppings. Combined with the salsa bar the toppings were more than enough. I wish the chips were a little more crispy though. They tasted a bit stale. The double margarita was a great price($ 6.75 I believe, $ 3.50 for a single). I would go back, but would definitely want crispier tortilla chips.

Second trip and will go back again. Had the delicious avocado Caesar with ceviche. It was the best salad I’ve had from anywhere in a long time. My son had a chicken burrito and he said it was delicious. Food arrived quickly and at proper temp. Happy!

Underwhelming. While I’m thrilled that eyesore of a vacant building is now a real business, I was disappointed by the actual experience of being there last night. And I was reminded why I’ve only been to the Fremont location once. The margarita, which I drank through a straw, was almost undrinkable it was so salty; music was just a little too loud; and the food a little too cold and a little too tasteless. Also, I wasn’t sure where to park given the spaces in the lot south of PB are marked«15 Minutes». All of that said, I’m sure I’ll find myself there come summer when the back patio is open and sticking to happy hour drinks and snacks.

This is a new place in my neighborhood, I decided to give it a try, I ordered tacos from them and I was very happy to try this place. I will be going there often. The inside is huge with lots of seating areas and outdoor seating areas with fire place. They have a to go menus as well as a dine in. For Mexican food, this was really good. I ordered the soft shell beef tacos. I love their salsa bar especially the mango salsa is great. They have a bar and looks like they have a really good happy hour.

Sadly, this place just did not cut it. I ordered a bowl of burrito expecting something comparable to the rest of the burrito bowls out there. 9 bucks for a few pieces of chicken, mostly rice, lukewarm beans, some cheese and barely any flavor… Would have gotten a lot more at somewhere like chipotle, and honestly better quality. My second qualm with this place– overpriced chips and salsa. We all know this literally costs restaurants cents, yet somehow we justify buying it again and again. Almost 6 dollars for a plate of generic chips with two small cups for salsa(guac is an extra dollar). We were politely asked to bus our own tables– NICE. Also was told to remind the bartender that I ordered a margarita, and when I did so she gave me a judgmental look of suspicion. Always nice to be treated like you’re a bandit.

Had a Bowl Of Burrito and a House Margarita. So good, I ordered another of both! The House Margarita is low priced but also a bit small. That’s probably a good thing. The staff seem eager to please. Easy going atmosphere.
