Our Roots

We’re a home-grown modern Mexican restaurant with our roots right here in Seattle. We serve a variety of fresh and spicy flavors whose origins come from south of the border. We’ve blended these exciting tones with the unique styles and flavors inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine.

Our Atmosphere

Our décor is designed to welcome you to a vibrant, fun, high energy, modern and inviting atmosphere. You will experience warm and friendly service with great food and outstanding presentation. We are today’s version of a great Mexican dining experience and we know you’ll see that when you walk in the door.

Our Chef - Marco Chavez

A 3rd generation chef, Marco started cooking at six years old. He would come home after school and work side by side with his father at their families’ bistro-style restaurant in Zamora Michocan, Mexico. Marco’s inspiration comes from his love of traditional authentic Mexican cuisine. He grew up on ceviche (which his father made religiously every week), “anything” quesadilla and Chicken Pipian. Chef Marco has brought this incredible dish with him to Sonrisa, basing it on a recipe that’s been in his family for 60 plus years.

“Being a Chef allows me to share with others my enthusiasm for things I find pleasurable-food, genuine hospitality and smiles.”
