El Chupacabra is best described as a punk rock cantina. We serve tasty drinks and great food!
The first 'Chup' pened 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 juke box 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. We also have a location on SLU opened 2015!
"El Chupacabra Alki opened in 2011 as the sister restaurant to El Chupcacbra on Greenwood and serves up the Mexican food and drinks in a fun atmosphere. It has become one of the staple establisments on Alki bringing its own flair to the beach community."
