Cafetal Quilombo Cafe

I miss this place so so much. They have the best espresso milkshakes, and they are the kindest most wonderful people. I live far away now but I hope I can come back soon.

Surprised at all of the good reviews. Very deceiving! I’ve been passing this place for months and finally went in. I ordered a wet burrito and tamales. While I was there, the man working told me they were making fresh rice and it would be awhile which I was fine with. I asked for extra sauce but I had to go back inside once I got to my car because there was no extra sauce in the bag. When I got home and tried it, the rice was very light and undercooked. It was literally still crunchy in the middle and tasted terrible. The burrito was even worse. There was minimal sauce for a wet burrito and when I bit into it there was mainly rice. In the picture it shows the only meat on the top left side. It was supposed to be birria but it was SO dry. The meat tasted old and had no consome so it wasn’t birria at all. My entire burrito was rice and yes the “fresh” rice they were making. The beans were also nasty. When I poured the salsa on it, it came out as a clump. Extremely disappointed to say the least. I ended up just throwing the tamales away. Don’t waste your money!

Soooo good! As native Phoenicians we’re always looking for good Mexican food in Seattle. This place was delicious and we’ll definitely be back!

Best tamales EVER! Nice size and great price. So flavorful. I work nearby, so I've ordered cold ones to take home and share, too. Their other menu items are good, but the tamales are my hands-down favorite. They have vegan and vegetarian tamales too!

The chilaquiles were delicious! The chips were nice and thick and never got soggy. Best ones I’ve had 🥰
