We had the perfect snacks to go with it - salsas and tostados and some fish tacos. The staff were warm and friendly. Would recommend!“

“This place rocks and I had the best $11 lunch. The puffy avo and shrimp tacos are my favorite. I went early and it wasn’t busy so I was able to get a little solo work lunch in and the server Luis was SO nice and welcoming. I also didn’t realize the have a kids changing table in the bathroom and most places in Portland aren’t kid friendly so I think I’ll come back with my kids soon because I’m already hungry for another taco and a happy upbeat welcoming atmosphere.“

During a difficult time I went to get my wife some Pazole (excellent comfort soup) and the greeter Justin recognized that I seemed out of sorts and spent time with me to make sure I was ok. Made me feel better. Great food and people.“

“10/10!!! My husband & I had to take the 1.5 hour drive to Portland for an appoinment. We came across this wonderful place while searching for a delicious lunch. Wonderful, superb authentic food! we tried the house made jalepeno poppers (ginormous & fresh) to start. Husband had the pork chimichanga (pork cooked to perfection) & I had to try the fried green tomato tacos. Blown away by all the flavors! Abby was our awesome server who served up a wonderfully funny sense of humor! Be careful though, she BITES!!! 😂“

“Friendly staff. great bar activities such as billiards and darts. A good beer selection. Hmm, I was expecting a big mexican restaurant, but it's really a small bar with a small menu. I had the birria tacos and they were excellent. I would recommend this place for some tacos and some beers and a game of pool after work would be great“
