I hesitate to recommend this because it's not off the beaten path. If you want comfort Mexican food it delivers at happy hour. For $5 you can get the best Nachos in town that are piled sky high with healthy fixins. They have a late night happy hour as well. You need to check out Ballard so why not try them.

If you are on the Eastside this place has the best breakfast. Also been open since the 50's and I think the same family maintains the quality since beginning. Try the hashbrown omelette. It's ridiculous how good it is. I've been trying to master it at home for 20 years.

I was born in India. I make Indian food at home. I am serious about finding the best and after trying every place in town I believe I'm certain they offer the best. Lunch buffet is phenom. Service is usually meh. But it's a buffet so get off your but and get your food but flag someone down to refill your coke because they like to slack it easy.
