The hidden Mexican food gem of the Pacific NorthWest. Everything was excellent. They do have meat and vegan options. Small foot print, fast service, clean.

Some of the best Mexican food I've had in Portland! Random note, those red chairs are really comfy. Springy plastic, not hard Also they have some amazing refried beans

This is the best Mexican food in the area, hands down! Authentic, fresh and flavorful. I got the tacos on homemade tortillas (they usually come with cilantro and onion, but I prefer grilled onion so I ordered a side of that) and my husband ordered an enchilada combo. Both wonderful. The service was so friendly and the prices were very reasonable! Don't be fooled by the outside strip mall appearance... the inside is cute and the food is AMAZING!

Great burritos and the salsas are amazing too! I love the veggie nachos, they are different than what I have tried elsewhere, not too heavy, topped perfectly-fresh and delightful. Wonderful customer service. Both of our kids love the vegetarian small burritos also, devour them.

Food was amazing, service was super friendly and fast! Inside was very nice and had comfortable seating good music playing and most importantly good prices! Highly recommend coming here and will definitely be back! The burrito I got was massive with tons of flavor and the green sauce in the bottle????!! Let’s just say I got a handful of cups to go! Super excited to try the breakfast burrito next time I come back!

Found this spot on a whim during our house hunting trip and feel so lucky that we did. Food is (makes you pause and close your eyes) amazing. Fresh, delicious, and perfect balance of spices and flavor. Cantaloupe water and horchata are made fresh and were incredible. Loved this place!

Family-owned and operated with family recipes, AUTHENTIC and fresh *everything* including salsas. Hubs especially loves the chicken mole (one of the best he's ever had), pozole (also amazing) or tacos al pastor and I get taquitos (five kinds!). Wow. Horchata is made in house, also and just sooo good. Wevisitt every two weeks or so? Can't stay away. Even my 82 y.o. Mom enjoys it here and loves the burritos. We'll be back!

First trip there. Dined in. Haven't been going out to eat since covid but because of the reviews we decided to try it. More than pleasantly surprised. We do vegetarian and tried lots of options. Everything was just great. The folks there could not have been nicer. Friendly, super clean, great food at affordable prices. Flan home made daily. Just amazing. We will be regulars for sure and hope you will try it as well. Susan U.
