The Original

El Chupacabra Greenwood first opened its doors in the spring of 2005, nestled in a cozy, converted house on Phinney Ridge. With its welcoming, laid-back vibe, it’s the perfect spot to unwind with a margarita and enjoy a hearty burrito. In the colder months, guests can relax by the indoor fireplace, making it an ideal escape from Seattle’s chill. When summer rolls around, the outdoor patio becomes a prime destination for those looking to enjoy tacos and a cold beer under the sun. But no need to worry about the weather—El Chupacabra’s Greenwood patio is open year-round. It’s covered, equipped with heaters, and if it gets too chilly, just ask for a cozy blanket! The Greenwood location offers a family-friendly dining area for guests under 21, while the bar remains open for adults to enjoy their favorite cocktails. Though dogs aren’t allowed on the patio, you can tie them up just outside the deck while you eat. Please note that this location operates on a first-come, first-served basis, as they do not take reservations. Whether you're stopping by in the winter to warm up by the fire or enjoying a summer day on the patio, El Chupacabra Greenwood offers a unique and welcoming experience that captures the fun, relaxed essence of Seattle’s Phinney Ridge. The restaurant offers a family-friendly dining area for those under 21, and a separate bar section for guests of age. While dogs aren’t allowed on the front patio, you're welcome to tie them up just outside the patio area, so you can keep them nearby while you dine.
