Description:
Maybe it's the implied promise of sunshine and warm weather in every bite, but the Northwest seems to have an obsession with Southwestern and Mexican food. If you, too, need a dose of spicy flavors, hit the road (el camino) in the Fremont neighborhood. As soon as you sit down, order a margarita; the house margarita here is the best I've had north of Tucson. As you sip your margarita, you'll notice that the menu here is unlike just about any Mexican restaurant menu you've ever seen. Forget the cheesy chalupas. Here you might find salmon in tart tamarind sauce or spicy mussels with a chile cream sauce. Daily fresh-fish specials are available, and the fish of the day also goes into the delicious fish tacos. On top of all this, the menu is almost entirely organic.

Stopped in for a margarita break from the Fremont festival and although it was busy, we didn't have to wait too long and once seated, the wait staff was attentive and friendly....
