The atmosphere and food is amazing. So much variety on the menu, wanted to try everything. The salsa and chips alone, told me this place was going to be great. If you’re craving Mexican food, and want to watch your favorite sports game. This is the place, plus you can’t forget the bar!! Chilaquiles plate I had with steak eggs rice beans, mad me feel like I was back home!!

Superior Mexican Food
The best Mexican food (except for homemade) in the Portland area. A very unassuming place in a strip mall, but wonderful inside, an eclectic take on traditional decor. The staff is friendly and prompt, prices are reasonable. But the star of the show is the food. It goes far beyond traditional Mexican Restaurant fare. I tried the chicken Enchiladas Mole. The mole was delicious, a nice mix of spices, a hint of cacao, a bit sweet, with a hint of heat. The chicken was shredded and nicely marinated. My friend had the Tacos al Carbon, three flour tortillas filled with marinated grilled skirt steak and onions with fresh lime, pico de gallo and guacamole on the side. Dinners came with excellent refried beans and light fluffy Spanish rice. Even the free chips and salsa were very good. And the Margaritas, too many options. The menu is broad and includes many exciting non-standard options.

The service was outstanding!! The service was so good it was almost too much service. (JK) In Portland I’m used to being ignored and have to flag down the server and beg for service. Everyone was super friendly and the food was delicious with generous portions. Chips and salsa were perfect. We will definitely be back. Michelada was the best I’ve had. I had the Espresso Burrito with colorado sauce with cheese. It was massive and delicious.

It seems only fitting for my 500th review to be on a Mexican restaurant, El Juan Colorado.
After a long day of shopping at Washington Square and the Woodburn Premium Outlets, I was in need of a good meal. I found El Juan Colorado in Wilsonville, an area I’m familiar with. Seeing that it was next door to San Francisco Tienda Mexicana, I knew it was going to be a good meal.
I ended up ordering what I know as a trio, but they call it a CARAMBA PLATE. It included carne asada and grilled boneless chicken breast marinated with citrus juice, along with four prawns and mushrooms sautéed in a sauce of butter, garlic, and mild spices.
It was served with pico de gallo, guacamole, and tortillas. The food was delicious and exactly what I needed after a busy day.

First time there. Doesn't look like much from the outside (takes 3 suites of a little mall) but inside was most pleasant and the food and service most excellent. Will definitely be back!

Food is not that great, especially for the price. For three people, we paid $88! Definitely should have just gone to a spender restaurant and would have gotten the quality too.
