The cafe menu is short and simple: Mexican food made with fresh, healthy ingredients. Fresh house-made juices, such as the watermelon juice, taste like summer. Fish tacos are a house specialty with cabbage an avacado dressing, and your choice of bacalau, smoked salmon, mahi mahi, or catfish. I come back for the smoked salmon taco time after time and can&#8217;t get enough.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a fan of most of their salsas, I find them much too sweet. And the guacamole is merely a mash of onion and cilantro, what little avacado is in there lends no flavor. But the fish tacos have flavor enough on their own and any additional salsa would detract from this amazing balance of flavors.<\/p>\n<p>Come for a day, come for an hour. Rent a kayak and explore Lake Union and Lake Washington, then follow up with drinks and dinner in the cafe. It&#8217;s a wonderful way to enjoy this beautiful city.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Watermelon Juice at Aguas Verdes by coffeejitters, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/coffeejitters\/2434550741\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Watermelon Juice at Aguas Verdes\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3167\/2434550741_bc5b2e735c_m.jpg?resize=180%2C240\" width=\"180\" \/><\/a><a title=\"aguas verdes paddle club by coffeejitters, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/coffeejitters\/2435367428\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"240\" alt=\"aguas verdes paddle club\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2332\/2435367428_1d547780bc_m.jpg?resize=192%2C240\" width=\"192\" \/><\/a><a title=\"aguas verdes by coffeejitters, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/coffeejitters\/2435367382\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"240\" alt=\"aguas verdes\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3097\/2435367382_79bae731de_m.jpg?resize=180%2C240\" width=\"180\" \/><\/a><a title=\"094 by coffeejitters, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/coffeejitters\/2435367532\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"240\" alt=\"094\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2376\/2435367532_cff74d228b_m.jpg?resize=191%2C240\" width=\"191\" \/><\/a><br \/>Agua Verde Cafe &amp; Paddle Club<br \/>http:\/\/www.aguaverde.com\/default.asp<br \/>1303 NE Boat Street, Seattle, WA 98105<br \/>(206) 545-8570<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/1\/3129\/Seattle\/Eastlake-Lake-Union-restaurants\/Agua-Verde.html\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"15\" alt=\"Agua Verde in Seattle\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/logo\/3129\/minilogo.gif?resize=104%2C15\" width=\"104\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\u00a9 Copyright Judy Haley 2008.
