Chicali Cantina Reviews
This was our first time dining at Chicali Cantina. We are visiting from Texas and we know and love our Mexican food and are pretty picky. The chicken street tacos were amazing. Everyone in our party got street tacos except my Momma, who got enchiladas. Everyone raved about their choices. They do not chince on their meat or the fixins. Loved the chicken. Friendly staff and awesome atmosphere. We even got to take a pic with their life size Chancla. So happy we didn’t disrupt anyone...read full review
Visiting from Chicago on our way to Mt. Hood, and Chicali Cantina far exceeds the experience we’ve had at any of the dozens of Mexican restaurants near us. Delicious Mexican cuisine with amazing flavors from high quality ingredients! Unique festive decor makes it a really fun place to meet friends and family! Portions are generous! Highly recommend!
The service is friendly and fast. So far everything I’ve ordered has been great,but the Queso Birria are out of this world ♥️

Chicali Cantina is a restaurant known for its friendly staff and delicious food. The menu offers a variety of options, including the fish taco, salsa sampler, and tostada salad with braised beef. The tostada salad remains a popular choice, featuring a refreshing change from the usual fried shell. The homemade chips are also a highlight, being crunchy and generously salted, and they come endless with the flavorful salsa flight.
The restaurant's margaritas are a must-try, with the blackberry and blood orange varieties receiving high praise. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a lively ambiance and music that enhances the overall experience. The decor, including the lighting and fixtures, helps create a relaxing space where noise fades into the background.
Families are welcome at Chicali Cantina, and the staff goes above and beyond to accommodate special requests. The poblano cheese and bean dip is amazing, and the cheese encrusted Birria quesadilla is described as off the charts. The birria tacos are known to melt in your mouth with perfect flavor, while the braised beef in the burrito is excellent and shreddy. The chicken salad is huge and fresh. For those with dietary restrictions or specific preferences, the restaurant is happy to make adjustments.
Overall, Chicali Cantina is a great spot for a fun and delicious meal, offering excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere. Despite being in a strip mall, the place exceeds expectations and is recommended for anyone heading to the mountain.
