About us

Since opening in 2001, Mojito has been a cozy corner of Latin American culture in the heart of Maple Leaf. We believe that great food brings people together — and every guest who walks through our doors is treated like family.

Owner Luam Wersom built Mojito on the values of warmth, generosity, and community support. We proudly partner with local organizations, including the University District Food Bank and other Seattle nonprofits.

We have moved to our forever home on Roosevelt Way Ne and we are excited to share our larger location with the neighborhood and all of Seattle. After two years of construction we are open. Right across the street from the Maple Leaf Reservoir Park, we serve lunch and dinner daily, and weekend brunch. We will open our new outdoor space spring of 2026!

Over the years, Mojito has grown beyond being just a neighborhood restaurant — it has become a gathering place where stories are shared, friendships are formed, and traditions are celebrated. Our menu continues to evolve, but our mission remains the same: to bring people together through the vibrant flavors and warm spirit of Latin America.
