The menu includes Brian's Bowl with shrimp, pescado tacos, and spicy cucumbers, alongside a variety of tacos like carnitas, carne asada, and el pastor.

Customers appreciate the fresh, well-seasoned food and the fun, Portlandy style of the cuisine, which combines Mexican flavors with funky, fresh ingredients served confidently. The restaurant has expanded its seating, making it easier to enjoy a quick lunch or dine outdoors with plenty of outdoor seating available. Payment is done upfront, allowing for a smooth dining experience without waiting for the check. While parking can be challenging, guests consistently praise the good prices, tasty drinks, and overall great experience. The moist and flavorful tamales continue to be a highlight for many visitors. The atmosphere is very family friendly and fun, with colorful decor that adds to the authentic Mexican vibe. The restaurant offers a great selection of salsas to add heat to your tacos, and the generous-sized Margaritas, including favorites like “The Jamaica” (Hibiscus flower), are highly appreciated.
