Calafia Pizza • $$
46 Pine St, Portland

“Already looking forward to next visit to try the rest of the menu. Started with salsas and tostadas, best salsa I've had in Maine. The muchroom Hauracha was delicious and I was glad to see refried beans on the menu. Staff were attentive and friendly and atmosphere was cozy. The only con is I wish they had their rolled tacos from the takeout window on the menu, I miss those.“

“We were blown away with the prompt service and excellent food given that it was Cinco de Mayo. What really showed what an excellent establishment this is was despite being extremely busy, upon arrival there was a blind gentleman in front of us looking to enjoy the night and the host took notice and was beyond professional and displayed one of the most genuine examples of kindness. He helped the gentleman sit down while waiting for a seat and even guided him to his table when it was time to seat. Above and beyond that while hosting he was also running tables and delivering food. He was extremely polite and attentive and showed that he was doing it because of the love of his job and not just because he had to. We were also fortunate enough to leave the restaurant as the man who he helped in the beginning was leaving. The host took it up on himself to walk the gentleman outside and make sure he safely made it into his Uber all whilst it was pouring rain! It was very refreshing to see this kind of thing in a world so full of negativity! Kudos to this establishment and specifically the host! Happy Cinco de Mayo!“

“In Munjoy a little early for an event, and mapped the closest quick eats with plenty of time to kill. I rolled up to the order/takeout window hungry as all get out, and left a short time later with one papusa frijole and the enchilada Salvadoreña with chicken; not much else I can say aside from 2 very important things:- Factoring in looks/smell/taste with respect to pricing, this place is an absolute GEM; I'll definitely be coming back very soon, and- I suggest calling ahead if at all possible. I waited outside (happily) for about 30 minutes after ordering at the window, and though nicer than the last few days the weather was a bit chilly - and that corner of town is synonymous with random wind patterns. There are a few customer only spots on site and street parking in the neighborhood, otherwise.Either way, I promise you will not regret it!!!“

“I had the menudo, which I did not expect to find in Portland. It was awesome!! Tortillas were soft and delicious. Amy and Abby were great service providers. Will go back for sure. You should ad a sampler soup platter for posole, menudo, and hatch stew so people can try all three. The menudo serving was HUGE. I was stuffed when I left. Great place!!“

“I've been going to this place since I was a freshman in high school. We're talking 35 years. The food is great. Their burritos are GIGANTIC and they are very reasonably priced. The staff is really nice-always greeting me with the biggest smile every time I visit.“
