Decent options but not everything was great. The Molcajete was tasty but some of the protein options were mediocre. I really like their rajas poblanos and soy Tinga but their tofu was so bland and their mushrooms were served a bit bland/cold. Not excited to return but I'd come back someday.

The chips were crispy, but not greasy, and the salsa was flavorful. It seemed like it took quite a while to receive our meals even though there were only a few other customers. The La Cocina Salad was a spring mix with pistachio vinaigrette dressing, grapefruit, marinated jicama slices, house-roasted seeds, radish, and almonds. I added soy tinga to add more protein. It was good, but overpriced for $5 extra.

Very cute and cozy atmosphere, good service and great food. I also had a guava margarita that was delicious!

Try the “Alambre”! It comes hot on a skillet almost fajita style with corn tortillas and some homemade salsa! 🔥

I went in with my friend and my mom today, we had told our server (Brian) that my mom had dietary restrictions which limited her ability to eat any spice and without any context Brian had brought over a sample of all the sauces and walked through the entire menu with us to make sure she could eat. My mom was recently diagnosed with stage four cancer, and it’s unfortunately reached her throat which means she can’t eat most foods and when she can it’s very limited. This was the first time I’ve seen her eat an entire meal in months and she was so excited. This was the best service I have experienced, the food was amazing, everything was great, no notes.

This is my go to Restaurant for a fabulous margarita and an authentic Latin American meal. The atmosphere is always welcoming and warm. The decor is vibrant with art, live plants and fun regional pieces. They have three areas for seating. Outside at the bright colored umbrellas, inside the main restaurant and on the side room that feels like an enclosed patio room. The menu has so many choices for everyone in your group. I order the Taquitos Dorados with the vegetarian option of potatoes. It is a large portion, comes on a bed of lettuce, guacamole and sour cream. Absolutely mouth watering. My Husband loves the Alambre and the Asada specialty plates. It is easy to find your perfect combination as they offer many protein options to customize your meal. Located in North Portland on 3901 N Williams Ave.

Great food the soups are amazing and taste homemade. The tortillas although I don’t eat many are homemade and fresh. Their queso is extra cheesy.

The appetizer queso had the cheesiest stretch and was so delicious, the chorizo made this dish next level!
Tried the Pazole soup on this chilly day and it was the perfect dish

Amazing food! Best Mexican food I have had in Portland.
Fairly pretentious Mexican restaurant with slow service. We waited 20 minutes for a table of 4 on a Sunday night at about 7:30pm. 15 minutes of that was just to clean off the table. Then took another 15 minutes for our waitress top by to ask for our drink order. Food was warm, not hot. And NO chips and salsa provided.

Wow! So good. Mezcalitas and Margs were delicious. I had the Alambre, so glad I did!! It was incredible. We also ordered the potato taquitos and taco salad and both were amazing as well. Their signature guarilla sauce is very good. Careful with their other two sauces, while very tasty, they do pack a punch if you're opposed to spicy. Atmosphere is great, love all the plants!! Will definitely have to go back!
