El Norte is a few miles north of Maple Leaf, but the Lake City bar that opened for Cinco de Mayo still is dear to our hearts as it’s the brainchild of Mr. Villa owner Kathrina Tugadi.
Sounds like Seattle Weekly’s Mike Seely also is a fan:
It is a sexy bar on one of Seattle’s fustiest thoroughfares, serving draft Modelo in glass goblets and a multitude of tequilas and mezcals. …
The tacos are filling and delicious, the ceviche contains fresh-caught halibut, and the nachos are spicy and surprisingly light. Sitting at Mr. Villa’s bar, it turns out, is well worth the walk.
Have you checked out El Norte yet? How does the bar, located at 13717 Lake City Way N.E., compare with our own Mr. Villa, 8064 Lake City Way N.E.?
