El Chupacabra Greenwood

The Original Chupacabra in Washington State!!!

El Chupacabra is best described as a punk rock cantina. The music can be a bit loud and the wait staff sassy but we’re out to show you a good time! In Seattle people head here for our margaritas, mission style Mexican food, & homemade hot sauces.

The first 'Chup' opened in March 16th 2005 at the Phinney Ridge location with just barely enough money scraped up and calling in favors from the owners friends and family. The old jukebox was filled with their favorite punk rock and heavy metal tunes. The menu was simple and all written on a chalk board by the kitchen. Burritos and Tacos, four meat choices and tons of fresh homemade salsa, rice, beans and all the fixins. With no advertising and a simple menu the two just figured they sell a few burritos to their friends and get a few people in for the good beer and cocktails. Seattle was hungry for good, fresh, homemade Mexican food liked the relaxed atmosphere, great prices, and the people keep coming hungry for more. In 2011 we opened a second location on Alki Beach. Summer 2015 we opened our third location in a bigger better space in Chandlers Cove on the edge of South Lake Union!
