• Mexican • Belltown / Pike Place Market

Booked 6 times today

For generations, molinos have served as celebrations of the most honored culinary tradition in our Mexican culture — nixtamal! Translated from the native Nahuatl, nixtamal is the production of corn dough, or masa. The molineros’ millenary artisan techniques in the nixtamal process are the foundation for creating all great antojitos — the craveable snacks sold by street vendors all across Mexico. Our mission is to preserve and promote the beautiful, bio diverse treasure that is heirloom, non-GMO Mexican corn. We work directly with local, small-scale farmers to ensure our grains are sourced in an ethical and sustainable way. Our authentic, fresh, small-batch recipes allow you to experience your favorite Mexican dishes the way they were meant to be — the same way we enjoyed them as kids! By introducing the Seattle community to our traditions, we hope that you'll fall in love with them as much as we have. Thank you for being a part of this journey. We w

Had the crab roll, gem salad, and black cod and everything was delicious. Service was great and our server made our family feel extremely welcome. A little pricy but more than worth it if you are looking for an upscale meal near the market.

Everyone commented that the food was very good. We really enjoyed our time there and will go again. Our server was very friendly and the service was good. I wish I had room for dessert, but the portions were great and I just could not fit it. :)
