I have been to a lot of Mexican restaurants in Oregon. This is one of my favorite!

The food was bland and tasteless. Products from Sysco warmed up in a microwave? The food was bad the last time we went. We hoped it would be better. If anything, it was worse. The service was great. The food arrived fast. But it was expensive! To the point that you just end up hating yourself the next morning for breaking down and going back there. Even the salsa was just watery. Grocery store salsa is exponentially better.

This is a fun and unique place to eat out. They serve quality homemade food with a traditional Mexican restaurant atmosphere. Food is fresh and made to order. They offer a full service bar a large variety menu with something for everyone. This restaurant has a small town at home, feel, and taste. Stop in if you love some fresh quality food and drinks.

There isn't much flavor in the meats (shredded beef, hamburger, or chicken) pretty bland for Mexican. Fernando is great

Only one person working that day and he was slammed but kept up. The salads ordered were fresh. The margarita was weak and ordered another shot. The bill was shocking, $9.50 for margarita, $9 for a shot of tequilla, $9 for my friend's beer. Maybe there are tourist prices and local prices.

As a Texan, I fully approve of this Mexican food. Only complaint is not much spice, but what can you expect this far north?

Food is very hit and miss. Most of the time it's a miss. The place is always dirty, you can be the only customer there and service will still take forever
