About El Chupacabra

Mexican-Style Cantina

A punk rock cantina serving up delicious burritos and margaritas ever since 2005. Visit us at El Chupacabra Greenwood, on Phinney Ridge, or at the El Chupacabra Alki, in West Seattle. In Seattle, people come in for our margaritas, mission-style Mexican food, good music & homemade hot sauces. Both locations offer casual dining and drinks with an edgy twist. We have a full bar and have the feel of a Mexican-Style cantina with punk rock roots. The music can be a bit loud and the wait staff sassy but we're out to show you a good time. Everyone is welcome!

Some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. The red and green sauce is fresh and explosions of flavour. We had the cheese enchilada and the veggie burrito. If you ad the plant based chicken the pieces are large and generous. Service was 10/10. Great vegetarian options - vegan options too (vegan cheese available)

Hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Seattle and they have the best wet burrito. I recommend getting their green sauce for wet burrito. Their Chips, salsa, Guacamole are all fresh. They have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. For drinks, I recommend getting Mango Lemonade.

Enjoyed my meal very much. Very flavorful and different from some of the chain restaurants. Service was great. Nice atmosphere. Can always take it to go and eat on the beach across the street. Parking can be tough in this area. Looking forward to going back and trying another menu item.

I've been going here for years! The burritos are huge and so good. All the delicious flavors all together in one wrap. Count me in! When I need a burrito fix this is my place! It's small inside so you may have to wait a bit. They also have an outdoor patio which is lovely when the sun comes up. I love their homemade salsas and sauce that comes on the burritos. Get your burrito wet! They also have happy hour daily from 4-6 & 10-midnight daily.

Love this spot for late night food! Has tons of options to suit a variety of dietary needs and great drinks too. I always get the fried jalapeños and a mezcal margarita with a vegan burrito. The lighting is nice and all the staff are excellent. Can't recommend it enough.

One of the best Mexican food I have tasted in a very long time. Went here based on a friend's recommendation and we were not disappointed at all. Friendly and quick service, lovely happy hour, great Margaritas, and the food was simply splendid. We loved the food so much, we went there the very next day for more! The next time we are in Seattle we will definitely come back 🙂

El Chupacabra is one of our favorite restaurants in the Greenwood/Phinney Ridge location. I’d describe it as punk rock Mexican food. Always nice sitting out on their patio enjoying some chips and queso followed by enchiladas, rice and beans. Tasty hot sauce. Grabbing to go is easy too.

Incredible. I got the vegan chimichanga and it was hands down my best meal in Seattle. Fantastic food at very reasonable prices, and great service & atmosphere. I NEVER have this many options at a non-vegan restaurant - I had my choice of imitation meat! Thanks for the options and accommodating menu. My entire family loved it and we all were happy with our meals. The next time we are in Seattle we will definitely come back 🙂

Totally awesome. Everything about El Chupacabra is fantastic. We went for a late lunch on a Friday, and were still there for the tail end of the lunch rush, but it quieted down towards the end of our meal. The service was great, even when they had most of their tables filled.The house margarita is really good, and the food was fantastic. I had shrimp enchiladas and they use the same shrimp as in the tacos, and they were perfectly cooked, plump juicy shrimp. Best Mexican food I've had in memory, and awesome atmosphere.
