An all-day Mexican cafe is soon to open at 500 NW 65th St, in the former Papas Hot Potatoes location.
Raiz is the creation of Ricardo Valdes and friend Kenny Villegas, known for El Xolo, a taco stand inside Nacho Borracho. The two also recently did a Raiz pop-up inside Delancey on NW 70th St.
Valdes told Seattle Eater that the cafe will be cozy, with breakfast items such as chilaquiles, requeson cheese pancakes with guava butter, and some sandwiches and toast. They’ll feature mostly ingredients sourced in the Pacific Northwest, with the veggies, fish, and meat coming from local producers where possible.
Raiz will likely open by the first week of November.
Excellent!
You didn’t have me until ‘cheese pancakes with guava butter’, and then you totally had me. Those sound amazing!
Sounds really good! I hope they succeed, that spot has changed quite a few times over the years.
Very cool! Glad to see another fun restaurant going in!
