Sometimes you need to have roommates to make it work on Capitol Hill. At Nacho Borracho, one of the Broadway Mexican dive bar’s roomies has a new schedule that will please fans of its queen and Queens-approved bagels. Meanwhile, a new roommate is taking over the kitchen every night.
Food truck T’Juana Tacos has pulled onto Broadway and made a Día de los Muertos debut taking over the bar’s kitchen and chow counter.
Monica Rodriguez tells CHS the Nacho Borracho crew sought out the truck and made a pitch for taking over the lease to provide a special T’Juana bar menu of taquitos, tacos, tamales, and, of course, nachos.
“Our food comes from Northern Mexico and we are passionate on making traditional family recipes,” she said.
Rodriguez added a birria grilled cheese sandwich classed up with “4 oz hot consome” and appetizers like ceviche, and a chorizo queso dip to round things out.
Rodriguez says she is happy with the roomie situation with Nacho. “We love and live in the area and it seem like a good fit since we both are on the same theme,” she writes.

Daylight hours also have new activity at Nacho Borracho. Loxsmith Bagels moved in over the summer and is now expanding service to seven days a week — weekdays 9 AM to 2 PM, and 10 AM to 3 PM on Saturdays and Sundays.
Matthew Segal has also announced plans for a new bagel shop planned to open early next year on Beacon Hill near the light rail station.
Nacho Borracho and friends are located at 209 Broadway E. You can learn more about T’Juana Tacos at tjuanatacos.com and Loxsmith Bagels at loxsmithseattle.com.

Bagels with lox is one of my favorite foods. But paying $17 for a single bagel isn’t something I can justify. Even the breakfast sandwiches are $14. Add in tax, and the increasingly de rigeur 20% tip for the person who hands your food to you…it’s just too much money for what you actually get.
I’m sure I’m not the only one.
It’s that expensive everywhere
A fair price IMO considering Matt makes everything but the cream cheese from scratch. If you’re looking for a cheaper product, across the street at Post Pike a bagel & lox sandwich w an inferior Westman’s bagel and store-bought fish costs $11.
The bagel prices are absolutely INSANE there. And their hours are void of the prime bagel eating/grabbing times of early in the mornings on weekdays.
Seattle’s been having a revolution of better bagels and new bagel places, but nothing on the hill. Eltanas cool but not hitting that NY style. Just went to the new rubensteins on 15th and the bagel was insanely hard, like they were dishing out day old bagels at 8:30a in the morning.
I love Rachel’s but its a bit of a schlep out to Ballard early in the morning. Any recommendations from anyone?
