Set on the shore of Portage Bay, which lies between Lake Union and Lake Washington, this casual Mexican restaurant is very popular with college students from the adjacent University of Washington. Consequently, there's often a line out the door as customers wait to give their orders at the counter. The menu is limited to tacos, Mexican-style sandwiches, empanadas, and quesadillas. It's hard to go wrong here, but I recommend the tacos, which come three to an order. Try the grilled halibut or yam tacos, both of which are topped with a delicious avocado sauce. Add a couple of sides -- cranberry slaw, pineapple-jicama salsa, or creamy chile potatoes -- for a filling and inexpensive meal. They also serve pretty good margaritas here. In addition, the restaurant rents kayaks for $12 to $18 per hour.
