Azul Restaurant & Lounge

i went to Azul last night, had couple of drink with happy hour food.
all happy hour menu price went up. service was really bad. seems like they never care we were there.  
my boyfriend i spent about $80. never like to going back there again.

More disappointment from another Mexican food restaurant.   On the plus side, it's got a cool ambiance.  I brought a few dates here in my single days and I just enjoyed the happy hour and drinks.  The place definitely infuses some of the Seattle flavor into their Mexican dishes.  But unfortunately, I think those 2 things should be kept far...far away.  It's not a bad place at all, but the food is really what has caused me to give a so so review.  They have some good specials during happy hour, so take advantage of those deals and save your dinner for some place a little more authentic.

I don't know what took me so long to write this review, I've been going here for happy hour since they first opened! I used to eat here so much i think i overdosed on if and had to take a break.(:

I feel like a lot has changed since they first started out, portions for happy hour are a lot smaller and service is a hit or miss but it's still a great place to grab a bite to eat.

They have an awesome happy hour menu that runs everyday 3-6 and than 10 till midnight. I've had everything on their happy hour menu and I think the best items would be the: calamari, chipotle beef bites, wedge salad and the chicken taquitos. These are honestly some of the best taquitos I've ever had! Crispy, Crunchy, and just the right amount of kick. They're filled with chicken and have this amazing green sauce with crema on top..mmmm!  Everything else is pretty standard, the tacos are a little underwhelming and the soup is nasty.

Azuls makes an awesome Sangria!!....and they are only $5! I can seriously drink 3 of those because they're so tasty and I'm usually a light drinker. I liked it so much I emailed them asking for the recipe!  They also make awesome Lemondrops. I like the strawberry ones.

They have a pretty good dinner menu as well. First of all the chips and salsa here are wonderful! They come complimentary with dinner but I thin $2 during HH.   I really like their Carne Asada, it's beefy, juicy, and has a nice charbroiled flavor. They serve it a bit differently than what you would expect from Carne Asada at most places but it's great. The fajitas are good and so are the salads and sandwiches. They make an excellent Cobb Salad and the Carne Asada Sandwich is tasty. The Burrito here is massive and very filling but delicious as well.

The ambiance and decor is pretty nice. However it can get a little too loud and crowded on the weekends especially late at night. Definitely a good place to grab a drink and a bite to eat if your up North not to mention excellent happy hour.
