El Borracho Pike Place Market

First of all, for my one and only day in Seattle on this trip, the weather couldn't be more perfect (see attached photos of Space Needle and the weather here this afternoon, as I sip on my Arnold Palmer - also pictured, along with the Nachos - yum! ????) Honestly, at first I was a little turned off when I first walked in, and no one on staff acknowledged my presence for a few minutes and I did consider leaving, but something told me to give this place a chance. So, I walked over to the bartender and asked him who I had to talk to, to get seated outdoors, and he said, "Me." Not sure if he had seen me when I initially walked in, but if management reads this, you may want to train your staff to improve on their customer service skills, especially where first impressions are concerned. Reading some of the other reviews on this place, I think a couple of other customers were turned off by the service (or lack thereof) as well. In terms of how one places their order, it's all very tech/smart

Loved that it's a veggie-based option, I really enjoyed my plate of rice & beans and horchata. I don't love the QR code based ordering. It totally works! But I kinda hate looking at my phone for a menu when I'm actually in the restaurant. Even if it were a printed menu with a QR code to pay, I would have liked it better. Any alcohol can be ordered in person at the bar. Vegetarian options: all plant-based! yay! Parking: no parking

This is kind of like a flea market in Canada but bigger with more sea food. It does not have many clothing kind of items other than some bags and t shirts with the name on it. But there are many places to eat, to buy souvenirs and there is a brewery as well. It closes at 5 pm and I thought it is too early though. Great facilities at the facility, could be busy but not overwhelming. Enjoyed our visit there.
