Great place accommodated 25 of us for taco Tuesday bike meet up without missing a beat. All around great spot
The service is so very friendly and although I don’t speak Spanish, I had absolutely no issue ordering. The menu was diverse and had many vegetarian options. We ordered the sofritos (asked them to hold the beef, pork) and came away with a filling, freshly grilled mushroom/vegetable dish that we will order again! The side buffet of salsas and cabbage mixture was fun to experiment with, and the area was kept clean. The restaurant was very clean, with music at a level that allowed for conversation with fellow guests. Our final dessert-flan, was epic! The serving size was large and the taste was cool, soothing and way better than my attempts to make it from a box at home!
Been here a few times already and it’s been great every time. Was in the area and decided to try their breakfast burrito. Thing was massive and for only 7.77 (as of this review in January 2025) it’s a pretty good deal. I’ve had other breakfast burritos from similar Mexican restaurants and this one has to be by far my favorite. The sauce they put in it gives it a little kick. I added some of the avocado salsa to it and it tasted great. Didn’t get any photos of the inside. It was just that good. I do wish you had a location in Oregon, preferably the Beaverton/Tigard area.
For "fast food" Mexican, this restaurant is pretty nice. Offers both a drive-through and dine-in eating options. The interior of the restaurant is pretty clean and spacious. They have a lot of options in their menu ranging from Mexican classics like quesadillas (with tons of meats to choose from), to specials like pasta poblana. Service is pretty nice too. Prices are a little more expensive than other similar restaurants, but I think you get what you pay for here.
Amazing pastor tacos! The sign out front shows a trompo and flavor was amazing and topped with pineapple just like in Cali. SO GOOD. They also gave the spicy pickled carrot/onion/jalepeno on the side in baggies which I love so it was a great surprise.
I had the breakfast Machaca plate, it came with rice and fried beans and fresh hand made tortillas. Very pleased with the portions and the fact that everything was steaming hot. The service was also excellent, they stopped by a couple of times to check on me. I'm happy with my first impression.
The pastor tacos are SO good! Everything was great. Pork verde burrito, quesadilla, verde enchiladas, horchata. Amazing! Staff is very nice as well
I really enjoyed this place! I just wanted sorta fast tacos and when I first walked in, I was blown away by the atmosphere. Trendy and clean, busy and modern. I’ll eat a good taco from pretty much anywhere but I love a clean restaurant. They have a really big menu, from tacos to desserts. First I had cabeza tacos and they were so delicious! They tasted authentic and not greasy or padded with unnecessary toppings. The self serve tortilla chips and salsa bar were great, we tried all the salsas and they were all very good, ranging from mild to pretty hot. Hubby loved his burrito. Next time he got some braised beef tacos and I had carne asada sopitos. My sopes tasted like my grandma had made them, like with love and deliciousness! Another very cool perk is they sell Mexican sodas and fountain drink options included a variety of agua frescas. I was in Mexican food heaven! Oh and very clean restrooms!
