Go there for breakfast and vinyl. I can't pass up the West Seattle Breakfast Burrito with Aardvark Hot Sauce, but my dad always orders the Little Richard.

Delicious fusion of Korea and Hawaii. I go for the Kalbi beef tacos/sliders/salad. The KimChi fried rice is also great. **This is the best patio in the city.** Plus, if you order a drink on the patio you can also order food, which almost always means you get to skip the long line in front.
Also, great launchpad to the water taxi and downtown Seattle.

Solid fresh-Mexican cuisine and tasty drinks. The SETTING however really sets Cactus apart. Located on Alki beach, the garage-door-walls get thrown up when the weather is nice. Enjoy a couple fish tacos, a coco mojito, and some breeze off the Sound.
