Great tacos! Their meat choices and selection is spot on flavorful for this native Texan. Bare bones menu, but their tacos, burritos and salsa/marinade escabeche is quite possibly the best, most authentic one in town. Highly recommend!

Parking: Small lot, but with quick turnaround on the food I've never had an issue finding a space.

The vibe in this little place definitely feels like Mexico. The food is definitely one of the best I’ve tried here in Oregon. It was so tasty and the burritos were huge. Only 4 stars because the sauces taste a little odd, nothing like any sauce I’ve had but other than that they play good music and it’s worth your money

Horrible resturant management. I’ve never been so applauded by a manager’s behavior towards their customers. My uncle decided to treat us to dinner tonight; however, all we got was an extremely aggressively rude manager. After asking the manager if it was possible to turn the music down, he replied, “No, this is the environment, little lady.” I walked away. A few moments later everyone inside was complaining that the music was excessively loud, so my uncle asked the manager to turn the music down which then the manager refused and told my uncle, “ No, if you don’t like it you can take your food and leave.” The manager was rude, disrespectful, mistreating all the customers and telling them that he didn’t care. The owner should reconsider whether to change the management because at this rate he will be left with no customers, no business and no tacos! Maybe the cook and manager should be maintenance instead and clean the disgusting broken toilet seat and soap dispenser far far away from all the customers.

"I am extremely disappointed with the service I received. Not only was the staff unhelpful, but there was also a clear lack of attention to customer needs. It seemed as though my concerns were completely ignored, and my experience was far below expectations. As a customer, I expect to be treated with respect and to receive quality service, but unfortunately, this was not the case here. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and works to improve the customer experience moving forward."

The manager goes out of the way to disrespect the client. Someone needs to tell him to be nice to clients.

Manager is so rude that does care for his customer at all. When to have dinner and the music was so loud that all customer were asking if we could turn volume down a little. A gentleman that was there lower the volume a little and the manager came inside saying that if you did not like the music loud that you can take your food home. I have never seen someone as rude to their clients. The owner should speak with their manager and teach him that without his client he does not make money. As a landscaping company owner, I would never talk to my clients that way.

My mother is here from WA and I wanted to take here to get tacos. Over the last two years she has been battling a severe medical condition and loud noises are hard for her to be around. We went in to sit down and the music was blaring. Most people were wanting it turned down and when they asked the employee he said he was the manager and he wasn’t turning it down. I let him know he needed to work with his customers and he told me we could leave. We got our money back and left. Due to this poor service we will NEVER be back. If I could give them a zero star for customer service I would!

A great place for tacos! Authentic to those of Mexico.

Although the tripe tacos are not as crunchy but they still had a delicious flavor and texture.

The sauces are great and go well with any taco.

One of the top places in Beaverton!

Terrible service, they don't have guacamole. Questions about what the tacos come with, they reluctantly answer that nothing. The sauces are even dry because they are so old. The person who charges had his fingers in his mouth along with his gloves. The taquero was very rude. The tacos are made from tortillas. smallest there is and costs 3 dlls I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!! There are better places than this.

The last time I went there, I got terribly sick😫
I bet they haven't had a safety and health inspection in a long time, and it's way overdue! That's all I'm going to say.
