We love visiting Las Espuelas or, β€œThe Spurs” named after the owner’s love of horses and the West, because the food is always delicious, and the waitstaff is always friendly.

We sat down with the owner Domingo recently for an article in our Newsletter. 

The restaurant business has been in Domingo’s blood most of his adult life. He first came to the US in 1984 to work for his uncle, who had 8 restaurants. The restaurant business has always been a family endeavor. After 15 years with his uncle and learning the business, Domingo, his wife Maria, and his brother decided to venture out on their own and start a restaurant in the Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle. Seeing success with that location, Domingo and Maria were eager to start another location and 11 years ago Las Espuelas opened their doors. They’ve turned into a neighborhood staple for people in Mountlake Terrace and Brier.

Talking with Domingo, it was easy to see the love that he has for the community that has been so good to him and Maria for the past 11 years. He speaks with pride and love as he tells us about his clientele and how he has watched little kids grow up and who are now teenagers. To him, they are not customers, but family. As we talked about how this last year has been, it was obvious that, like most small businesses, it’s been a very difficult year. He is still in awe of the support they have received. Each time, they needed the community to step up, they did. He recalls one post that someone had put on the Mountlake Terrace Facebook page that Las Espuelas needed business. The next day it was like Cinco de Mayo! They ended up having to close at 6pm because they didn’t have enough food for everyone who showed up. He gets emotional thinking of how often the community has stepped up for them. They feel very blessed and fortunate to have developed such deep roots.

We turned our conversation to their menu. We tried to get Domingo to tell us which item was his favorite. He laughed, he loves everything on their menu and would not commit to a favorite. We asked about the mole sauce, which was different than any Sandra had had before. We found out that one of his chef’s has a Caribbean food background and the mole was reflective of that. The menu is diverse and you will find dishes from Colombia and Peru. We are looking forward to sampling our way around Latin America via the Las Espuelas menu.
