BEST place for brunch, if you enjoy Mexican food (Tex-Mex style). Kid-friendly, but be prepared for long lines on the weekend. On the up side, the line is very chatty and friendly.

A short walk away, watch the boats as they move from one waterway (the Ship Canal) to another (Puget Sound) via the Locks. Don't miss the Salmon Ladder and the Botanical Gardens in the same area.
