Luisa's is a solid restaurant in an area with not too many options. The service was good, they were attentive and friendly. I had the enchiladas and they were delicious. Comes with a side of rice & beans. They also have freshly made tortillas by the entrance that are warm and delicious. Overall the quality of food was good, but nothing you wouldn't get at any Mexican restaurant. If you're looking for good food and a good ambiance, Luisa's is the way to go. I look forward to coming back here & trying their margaritas! More...

A fun and kitschy Mexican restaurant. While I waited for my table I wondered at the indoor fountain and was offered a fresh made tortilla to snack on. Already I was won over and I hadn't even been seated yet. The food and drink options are all pretty standard and classic for this type of place, but it was clear to me that a level of quality and freshness is paid to the food here more so than others like this that I had been to before. Our server was a fun gentleman, he made jokes and engaged us in polite conversation without over staying his welcome. I gauged by the clientele that this is a local favorite and I imagine anyone living in this neighborhood finds themselves here once a week or so. Over all it was a pleasant experience and the food was decent and pretty low price for the large portions. More...

Full bar- just ask!! For Keto/Paleo, order the fajitas without beans, rice, or tortillas. Comes with heaps of sizzling meat and veggies, accompanied by lettuce, pico, sour cream and guacamole. One serving is enough for two, especially with all those chips and salsas. Put that green salsa on everything! More...

We love Luisa's! Â Been coming here for many years. Â The food is always consistently delicious, the service is fast & friendly. Â (Almost TOO fast, LOL! If you want to linger over chips & salsa or any apps, let them know or wait to order your entrees.)The chimichangas... oh my... . Â The regular entree has 2 & they're good sized, so I ask them to box up one with toppings on the side (ie lunch the next day); they're always happy to do it & take extra care to put each topping, like sour cream or green onions, in separate little containers.What their "coleslaw" may lack is more than made up for in their margaritas! Â Yum!It's a very family friendly place, so avoid the early dinner hours if you prefer a little more quiet. Â On the other hand, plenty of tables for bigger parties- with or without kids.-They have a good sized parking lot btw.Want great Mexican? Head to Luisa'sNOTE: Â Yelp is currently listening old hours for this place. Â We checked before heading there tonight; Yelp stated they would be open til 10 but when we arrived around 8:30, it was closed. Â I've added photos of the new hours. Â -April 2019. More...

Tostadas de camarón muy sabrosas, las margaritas bien, el AC, de lujo, al igual que la estancia. Solo que los meseros se miran como enojados y medio preocupados, Pero si lo recomÃendo ampliamente.

I've been coming here since I was a kid, and it never disappoints! The place very much has a family feel to it - the service is friendly, and the food is comforting. I love the large portions and colorful plates! At dinner, you can get fresh tortillas as you enter, and at all times, you get chips and salsa with your meal. It's a great place for families, and has become a local institution for mine! More...

We are WSU cougar alumnae and still to this day have not been able to find a spot to replace La Casa in our hearts. It's been several years in Seattle and this while still not the same is the closest we have found thus far. Service was fantastic, the servings were incredibly large, and the meals were fantastic!

We have been satisfied patrons of Luisa's for over 7 years, mostly for late afternoon lunches. Â The decor feels authentic, the wait staff always pleasant and the food always flavorful and plentiful. Â The chile rellenos are delicious, with a mild heat, and the enchiladas verde with pork are excellent. Â There is nearly always sufficient left over for another lunch at home. Â In all the times we've eaten there, perhaps 30-40 in 7+ years, we have never really been disappointed. Â A consistency that we find remarkable. More...

Large potions and good home cooking :) I love the home made tortilla with salsa that they give to you when you walk in- delicious!

We found this place after trying 3 other restaurants that were closed on a Wednesday (weird). Best find we have made in a while. We were greeted with a warm tortilla and salsa at the door. The atmosphere here is awesome. They have a fountain inside along with some bird sculptures hanging from the ceiling, along with the classic stucco and brick styling. Our waiter was nice and quick. We split the fajita burrito and it was the best we have had. This is our new go to spot for Mexican food- and its 10 miles from home! More...

Far from my home but definitely want to go back. Busy little neighborhood joint. Huge menu. First visit always requires my sampler plate: taco, enchilada, tamale, rice and beans. Gulp. Fellow at next table order a similar platter. When I saw it, I changed my plan. No taco or tamale. Asked to have mole on the enchilada rather than red sauce. No problem. Very tasty so next visit may be the grande platter smothered in mole. A burrito was also ordered. HUGE to say the least. Two kid hamburgers as well and the young boys were happy. More...

The fajitas here are TO DIE FOR! Love. Love. Love. Can't find any better anywhere else. I strive to come to Luisas at least once a month to fulfill my craving. On Friday and Saturday nights, they have a fresh tortilla bar when you walk in. A fresh rolled tortilla with butter while you wait for a table, yes please. I've never had stale chips here or bad service. I've only had the best food and great service. Don't listen to a bad review about this place. Remember, if your attitude sucks, then everything around you sucks. Go here. It's a great family owned business and Carkeek and Golden Gardens parks are so close. Dinner at Luisas and then a summer sunset beach walk. Amen. Do it. More...

¡Fantástico! We just happened to drive by this place and somehow it called out to us. We made a quick (and safe!) u-turn. We are NOT disappointed . We ordered mini plate enchilada and taquitos with beans and rice. The steak is so tender and delicious. The salsa provided as an appetizer is killer tasty. Green is hot! And delicious! The chips are ok, but crispy fresh! This place is, overall, deserves every single star. The guy who seated us lacks a smile or emotion, but he's still friendly and brings your food out super fast!

Coming from Southern California, I'm pretty picky about my Mexican food. This place has a pretty authentic feel, especially with the tortilla lady at the front. The food was huge and both my boyfriend and I had to get most of our dinners boxed up because we just didn't have room to stuff any extra food in. My only minor complaint is that the food wasn't spicy enough. But it's mostly because this far north, it's hard to find anything spicy enough. It's a cool, friendly place. The helpings are huge. I will definitely return again! More...

I'm always looking for places to dine with a coupon and this one is in the entertainment book so I end up here a lot. Also I really love the vegetarian gorditas as this is something that is not on most menus in the area. I enjoy a place where they give you a freshly made warm tortilla with salsa even before you are seated, it definitely adds something to the experience. The fountain in the waiting area is nice too. I also enjoy a place that has something besides the normal red salsa to serve with chips and here they have a delicious green one. Service here is fast. Multiple refills on chips and drinks. Everyone always seems happy with what they ordered. My friend recently enjoyed the grilled chicken salad. I did not enjoy my burrito loco as much as the gorditas, but wanted to try something different. Its good to find a place with vegetarian Spanish rice since so many places don't offer this and end up substituting a white rice which is not nearly as good. More...

This is one of my regular spots for good, consistent food and service. I like to come for lunch, when it's not so busy and the prices are a little less. But coming for dinner is also fun because you get a free fresh tortilla with salsa when you walk in. The have a nice variety of vegetarian options. There are servers that have been there many years, and they are always helpful and nice. The portions are big, it's a nice hearty meal or two. The salsas are really good too! More...

I'm writing this review as a native Texan new to Seattle, and a self-proclaimed Tex-Mex aficionado. If this place was back home in Texas, I'd give it 4 stars because it's just missing a few details I'm normally used to. However, since this is located outside of Texas, I will give it 5 stars because it is the only place I've ever eaten Mexican food outside of Texas or Mexico that tasted good. Normally anything north of Texas is just tasteless mush, but this place was full of flavor and had a kick to it! I've had more disappointing experiences trying Mexican food up north than I can count so I'm super excited to have found a place that tastes as good as home. This may very well be the only place in Seattle that serves chile con queso, which earns them huge bonus points! Only thing I would change is to have ground beef in it instead of chorizo.Menu has lots of options, restaurant is clean, and service was good. Do yourself a favor and don't try Mexican food anywhere else in Seattle but here! More...

Pros:  1. Luisa's has a tortillalLady preparing fresh tortillas and rolls them  up for you to eat before being seated ( your choice of sauce/salsa) when you come into the restaurant. 2. Wonderful decor and warm friendly environment3. Quick friendly service (family friendly)4. Food is  typical, but decent Mexican American food. Love the Mexican rice and the cole slaw.5. Clean restrooms6. Plenty of parkingCons:  1. Food far too salty (but then most restaurants, including some East Indian restaurants seem to love the salt) 2, I have had real Mexican food (in Mexico) and now know what high quality Mexican food tastes like and have not found a local restaurant that matches that experience..  Still, this place hits the right mark on all counts and yes, I will go back again.

Ever make a bad decision in life....I always do here. Thinking that I can order what my heart desires and finish the food is the problem. Every time I go to Luisa's Mexican grill I want to eat half the menu. Sadly, I forget that the portions are so large that finishing a dish, everything on the plate, is a challenge for me.However, what keeps the mistake coming is the fact that the food here is delicious! I always go wrong on what I order, but they never do me wrong on taste and portion. More...

We used to live in SF so we judge everything by the food in "The Mission" which is a terribly high bar to reach bit this was pretty good .... Like Mexican/American comfort food. Â Good stuff. More...

They are delightful. Is it hip-delishious? Â No. Good? Â Absolutely. Â They still prepare fresh, hot tortillas at the door and you can nibble on that with butter or salsa or both before you're seated. Â The customary basket of chips with both green and red salsa arrived within seconds of sitting down. The menu is fairly extensive if traditional American-Mexican food. Â The service was excellent by a young man who was rather easy on the eyes (bonus). Our food was fresh, hot, and delicious. Looked back in the kitchen area because I'm picky and snoopy; it was immaculate. I think this is a great place for a reasonably priced Mexican restaurant. Â They were fairly busy and lots of different groups of people were there: couples, families, solo diners with books, college age folks. Â Hey, what's not to like? More...

A great place to dine!The place looks so nice. Food is great and tastes so good.Management is so friendly. I was on a road trip from Los Angeles to Vancouver BC Canada. When I told the owner of the restaurant, he took me to his office, opened his Google maps on his computer and showed me how to take the ferry to go to Vancouver from Anacortes WA. He showed me all the details, routes, schedules and everything he was able to do. And i am so grateful that I went to this restaurant for the great food and great tips on the ferry system, something  I had no idea about it. I did take the ferries and it was so fun.

Really like this place.  First time the fam and I have been in and we will be back.  Love how they grow vegetables in the entry way.  They have a person making fresh tortillas  when you walk in.  You can get one while you wait for a table or much on one when you are getting seated.  She accepts tips.  Delicious.  The food is above standard but won't blow you away.  We ordered the fajitas for "2", but comes out on a sizzle platter enough for 5.  The service was incredible.  Everyone was super friendly.  Great atmosphere.

This has a wonderful family owned feel to the location. The waiter was personable, friendly and provided genuine service. He was available when needed- but was not pushy or "there to much" . You could tell he sincerely cared about ensuring we were taken care of and had a quality meal.The chicken quesadilla was full of flavor - having a generous amount of chicken and great spices. There as cheese melted not only in the middle but in the tortilla making a great flavor combination.The house chips and salsa were fresh and water was refilled without asking and before glasses were empty. All in all a fantastic place to visit. They have free wifi as well- but do not have electrical outlets at the booths. More...

I really liked this place! good food with large servings and a wide selection of margarita flavors. I had watermelon and pineapple, and both were good. service was also friendly and the warm chips and salsa were a nice addition.my only suggestion for them is to remove your homemade "coleslaw" (which was just shredded cabbage) from the plates! what's worse is that they place them right smack in the middle of the plate between the rice and beans, which I like to mix up and eat (who doesn't?) I don't need random cabbage on my plate. More...
