What people say, in short
El Chupacabra is recommended across its Seattle outlets, including the Greenwood/Phinney location; the Alki setting is a separate experience. Margaritas lead the discussion, with individual praise for tamarind, mango and house versions, and one diner singles out the queso. Another calls it a favorite Mexican restaurant. The dissent matters: one visitor likes the margaritas but not the food, while another found the food fine and a recent margarita disappointing.
