Best burritos in Portland, both in flavor and how they are filled, so all the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the burrito.

Pretty amazing! I haven't had Hatch Pork Chile stew that good outside of Santa Fe! Burrito was right off the street side cafe in Oaxaca! Salsa was perfectly authentic! They have Queso Fundido!!!! Going back for mole and their Mexican parrillada!

Hostesses were patient, quick and accommodating with our party of 7 that included three small children on a Friday night. So nice! Food was amazing and quick to come out. We had some dietary restrictions but everyone was able to find something great to order. Chips, salsa, guacamole, margaritas, mains…all good. We felt like the atmosphere was too cool for us but we enjoyed our Friday group dinner! Thanks for a nice dinner and good time!

What a lucky find. Most certainly be returning. Authentic Mexican, minus the greasiness you usually find up here.

Best burrito in Portland! This place is humble and very generous (especially with the protein and guac). Fresh ingredients, great flavor! Can't wait to come back!

Great location and branding. Food is rough. Overall offering is uninviting. Not recommended.

Having family in New Mexico and Arizona means eating wonderful Southwestern food. Recently relocated to Maine, I was amazed to discover a restaurant that not only has great, high quality Mexican food, but the added delight of authentic Southwestern specialties like Hatch green chile and posole (a pork stew with hominy corn and red chile). I have dietary issues, and Jennifer was very patient and helpful in finding things I could eat. She even made sure I was served the vegan refried beans, though I forgot to ask. The chicken in my tacos was excellent, the tortilla chips were fresh and crisp (not greasy) and the guacamole intriguingly spiced. Kudos to the couple from Arizona who brought their family recipes with them! Parking on State St. can be a challenge, but for the full dine in experience it's worth it. An alternative is the sister El Corazon Casita (little house) in S. Portland, which is primarily for takeout.

Awesome place. We had driven by many times but never gone in. Went there for dinner. Very casual order at counter and grab a table kinda place. Seats maybe 20 people tops. Just great Mexican food. Total find. Chicken burrito was terrific. Queso Fundido was out of this world. My wife has vegetarian enchiladas and thought they were terrific. Owner is the chef - nice guy. Big thumbs up to this place.

Came here looking for genuine Mexican food. Having been married to a Mexican for 29 years and spent years in mexico, this ranks as slightly better than Taco Bell as genuine mexican food. Was sadly disappointed by drinks and tacos and tres leches.

Highly recommend their fish burrito or any of their burritos. They are very filling and each one unique. Very friendly staff and fantastic drinks. Splurge and go for the margarita pitcher , you won’t regret it!
