I have been on the search for great Mexican in the Portland area, it has been surprisingly hard to find! This place provided great authentic family recipes and great service. The margarita was strong and tasted great! We will be coming back soon.
You've got to try their al pastor--it's seriously the best! We don't even mind making the 40-minute drive--it's totally worth it for those crispy al pastor tacos! Great food, friendly service, one of my family's favorite place!
Great food. Great atmosphere. Home made. Great service. Easy access. Clean. Good music. AUTHENTIC!
The homemade tortillas are amazing ! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the food. Clean nice little eatery.
Great food, close to work. The food here was authentic and filling. When I ordered three tacos, I thought they would be very small, like street tacos. Boy was I wrong. They were very large tacos. I probably would have been good with two. I ordered a chicken taco, a Carne Asada taco, and a pork taco, so that I could try three different types of their meats. All three were very delicious. I was there with a friend, I appreciated the booth seating. It was very comfortable and we were able to talk and enjoy each other's company. Service was good and we were well-taken care of.
Lately I've been on a bean and cheese burrito kick and I've tried multiple restaurants in the area and this restaurant had the best bean and cheese burrito by far. Not only was it ginormous, the cheese to bean and rice ratio was perfect. The salsa was also soooo good and really enhanced my burrito. Will be back for sure!
We are always looking for the best Mexican food. This place is close by our post office and we decided to give it a try for dinner. The prices are great, the service was great and the restaurant was nice. As soon as we got sat chips and salsa was set down for us (free might I add, no one does that anymore....) We decided to get burritos to test the flavor as it was our first time here... amazing decision. Rice and beans were perfect and the asada was soooo flavorful. I'm usually pretty picky with my asada so saying that means it was like family cooking it. The chicken was also delicious, it's cooked like chicken tinga and a little on the spicy side (really spicy if you don't like spicy) also on the wet side. I'll have to come back and get horchata to see how good that is and we will want to try more plates like the enchiladas. 10/10 for the taste, and service.
We were looking to branch out and look for authentic Hispanic food in the area and stumbled across this restaurant on our search. It's tucked right next to the USPS office in Downtown Tigard, I had no idea it's been open 10+ years. Our server was fantastic and knowledgeable. He educated us on specialty homestyle menu items special to the restaurant and was helpful about offering suggestions as they have quite a wide selection. After chatting through, I knew I wanted to go with specialties specific to the restaurant as different families pass down recipes. I love a good taco and tostada, but when I come into establishments like this, I am looking for a good homestyle meal. I went with the Camarónes a la Diabla, the spicier of the two identical shrimp plates since the server said their seafood is some of their best menu items. I was not disappointed. It was tossed in a garlic flavorful spicy sauce, with mushrooms. Instead of beans, I asked for a salad which was nice to have as I used the homemade corn tortillas (so good) to build shrimp tacos with rice. I did not need additional sauce. The sautéed fish packed good flavor and a nice spice kick. It was refreshing, as I am a die hard carne asada kind of gal. The price turned me off a little bit until the plate came out cause their portions are HUGE! My husband got the bistek camarones and a tamale and both were great as well. We were so impressed by the service and food here. Looking forward to coming back and tackling some more menu items off the homestyle menu.
The low grade condiments - Ketchup was below Hunt's - initially turned me off. Then I almost walked when I saw the VERY high menu prices. Lastly, the chips and salsa were average at best. I was expecting a 2-3 Star Yelp review. To my surprise the taste and portion of our entrees were 4-Star worthy. The Camarones A La Diabla, a family recipe, was delicious. Opt for a split homemade corn/flour tortilla mix. The Pambazo w/milanesa (a seared torta covered in enchilada sauce) was more than decent. Unfortunately, I wasn't keen on their style of fries which had that very light tempura-like coating. Lastly, the Chavideca will be a repeat order. The fresh pineapple mojito was ample. Our young 30s male server was attentive and FRIENDLY. Parking is very easy. Definitely coming back.
