Good barbacoa is hit & miss around portland. The barbacoa here is legit, and I should probably order something else, but I don't.But they have this sauce... it's a bright orange, probably habañero based sauce. It's so good. It's got the perfect spice kick to get you sweating.Listen Morty, you might think a pop culture reference in a google review is cliché, but YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SAUCE! It's not like a normal sauce, it-it-*buurrrp* it's something people would fight a war over! And they would be right! I'd give at least 100 other people's lives for this sauce Morty listen to me

Closest I've ever had to a burrito that reminds me of California ?IMO, Oregonians aren't big on flavor or seasoning (sorry y'all lol) but this place does both. Delicious cocktails and the burritos have always been cooked to order. I don't usually eat my whole burrito in one sitting but here I can't help it.

The burritos here are amazing. I don't know what else I could possibly say about this place beyond if you try a burrito I'm almost certain you'll be back. I've worked my way through almost every kind of burrito they have and I was not disappointed once. The weekly and weekend specials are always tempting and it can be hard to decide between my personal favorite of the barbacoa and one of the specials. Usually, I cave to the barbacoa and ask for a bite or two of the special from my wife. You just can't go wrong here.

It’s an all outdoor venue. I have been there many times. Two of us ordered a burrito to split, and as i saw it was coming to us uncut, I requested they cut it in half… and that was met with a reply “we have knives ” (which are plastic) “and you can cut it.” Not the same service I have had on the past… fyi we were the only customers. Also had a margarita and it was very sour. Could be this server is an outlier… but this visit was not stellar.

The aesthetic of a hastily expanded food cart that makes you question compliance with building codes but good burrito and quick service.

They are awesome! They made 10 burritos in 15 minutes for our Christmas lunch and they were delicious. Great people and great food.

I'm bummed we haven't been here sooner. Everything was a 10. The food was delicious, service spot on, and vibe was so cozy. Super kid friendly, which is really important to us. We will absolutely be back, and recommend you give it a try too!

Really sweet little burrito place in Portland with wonderful and caring service . The flavors here are very good and the burritos are well balanced . I really recommend this place . I am vegetarian and definitely there are options for that here . However , if you happen to eat meat , there are many , many tasty looking burritos here . Either way , the place is very good and I recommend it .

This place is worth the calories. If they have Cochinita Pibil as a special, get it! 3x in a row this has been really good. I've also tried the Uruapan, and other standards. I love that they have 1-2 specials per week to mix things up. All the meats have flavors with depth like they've been slow cooked. The burrito ingredients are always really well balanced/blended. They also have a taco night that my burrito hating wife loves. My only nit pick is they don't let you mix and match tacos, and that they don't have more taco meat options. But I won't let perfect be the enemy of the damn tasty!
