Review & Rating
I have to say this joint has great service. It’s also got great food. However, the margaritas are definitely priced way out of their value. Been there a few times and they’re all very very sour, served in a 16oz shaker glass which is kind of dumpy. Use less mix, a real margarita shouldn’t use that much liquid. Walk down the street to the Matador and you’ll get a better margarita for 15% lower cost with some great chips and dip. The other concern is the smell of the bathroom. Heavy scent of mold. Definitely needs to be looked at. Overall it’s a cute spot but they have got to revamp their margarita recipes or lower their price point, and watch out for the cleanliness.
If it was cheaper and had slightly better seating I'd give it 5 stars, but for what it was the quality of the food was fantastic. Definitely noticeable difference in quality and effort put into the food than any other Mexican restaurant we've been to in the area and the portions are very large. We left satisfied!
Best mexican/southwestern food I've had! They really get a lot of flavors and textures in their dishes. Fresh, crunchy slaw type salad without the heavy dressing, red beans with a little heat, and their flautas were heaven. So delicious. Great margarita too!
I love this place. Should have known going in on a Wednesday when it was absolutely packed. Food, service, drinks, and personality are all amazing. We will definitely be coming back soon
Amazing food. We had the stacked pork and chicken enchiladas. Extremely flavorful, lots of perfectly seasoned and cooked meat. They come with an egg on top which was a wonderful tasty surprise. Service was fast and friendly. It does get busy in the evening but the food is more than worth waiting for. Can not wait to go back and try something new!
The fresh tortilla chips are fantastic, they are thick and crunchy. The guacamole is a bit pricey, but very good. I really enjoy the salsa trio and guacamole as appetizers. I've tried a few different entrées and my favorite is the brisket enchiladas.
Have you ever had a taco so good it brought you to tears? Because that's how good these tacos are. Seriously the attention to detail and the flavor profile of every ingredient is just perfection.
One of the best restaurants in Portland! I have eaten here at least ten times and every time it is better then the last. This time we brought some friends from New York to impress them. We started with the corn. The grilled corn in a red sauce is out of this world. Before becoming vegetarian I realized the stacked brisket enchilada and recommended it to my friend. This time I had butternut squash stacked enchilada. It was really good but the brisket is better. Our ladies had tacos and really enjoyed them. Best Southwestern food I have ever had and this may be the best restaurant in Portland.
I definitely recommend this place. Great food, decent prices, and pleasant wait staff. We ate outside, but had good service none the less. Margs were superb and the food, oh the food! Check it out, won't be disappointed.
It’s just that good. Put it on your list of “must go”. I’ve been multiple times and am never disappointed. Nothing better than a good margarita and more burrito than you can handle. I wouldn’t let you down, you’ll love it.
