    It was a great spot to find in Bridgeport. The place is very spacious and welcoming. The food was amazing, I am still recovering from the food coma from lunch. The staff were very nice, friendly and helpful in explaining more about the dishes. I picked a dish based on the waitress suggestion and it was spot on good and quite filling. There is a general area and also bar area with few more taller tables & chairs. There is a good big menu so everyone can find something, you can't leave this place leaving hungry. The menu also has options for vegan & gluten free, mocktails and real alcohol. We got chips & salsa and also a side of guacamole, which were all good. We had a table next to the window, with lots of daylight and people watching on the street.

    Asada Taco & Carnitas Taco

    I ordered the Carnitas Taco (3 stars) and Asada Taco (2 stars). I liked the filling portion of the tacos that I'm glad I only ordered two tacos. I've had better and more flavorful versions of each one elsewhere. I didn't like the salsa that was on the side. The service was 4 stars, and they were very nice. It's kid friendly with high chairs and crayons. It seemed to get busy during a weekday lunch. The menu had a lot to offer that I would maybe return to try something else.

    Came here after some shopping. Was seated right away at 2pm, reaturant was pretty full. They give you complementary chips and salsa which was good! I got the carne asada entree that comes with rice, beans and guacamole. The guac did look brown and old which wasn't great so I didn't eat that but the food itself was very good

    Great bar with friendly service. The interior of this restaurant is cute and the service here is so friendly and sweet. Quesadilla was fire.

    The food was great! Showed up right as happy hour was happening. Ordered a lot of food but as a family of 6 get together couldn't go wrong with any of the food. The service was great. Checked on us multiple times. Polite staff. No wait time. Slow during 3pm. The price was great as well. Portions were perfect. Environment Sami loud music, but good for eating. Outside seating also a plus! Right across from the movie theater. They also have Bar seating as well. Happy Hour 3pm-6pm Monday-Friday.

    Anchovies are not suitable for vegetarians.

    What a baffling menu. A salad with anchovies in it is listed as vegetarian while the meat-free watermelon salad is not marked vegetarian. How could anyone with dietary restrictions trust anything in this restaurant? It's easy enough to read through with the salads but is there lard in the tortillas? Chicken stock in the sauces? I couldn't trust those answers from a restaurant that thinks fish is vegetarian.

    Stopped in for a quick bite and enjoyed it a lot! The service was really outstanding and everyone was very accommodating. The ambiance has some nice elements but isn't over the top in terms of originality... but do people really come for that part anyway? I ordered some tacos and they were legit. The corn tortillas were fresh and warm, and the guacamole was not too salty or bland... just right. A little bit more on the expensive side for this caliber of family restaurant, but that seems to be more and more common these days. Still a pretty solid meal with good portions if you're looking for reliably good Mexican cuisine in busy Bridgeport Village.

    We had the bowls - chili verde and fish. I liked the way the fish was grilled and will be back to try their fish tacos. The chili verde was on the spicy side, but flavorful. Loved the skinny margarita. Menu is marked for vegan and gf. Service was quick & friendly. Has a trendy Mexican vibe.

    A friend and I met at Choza and decided to stay as we saw their happy hour specials. We first sat in the dining area and ended up moving to the bar as the specials we saw outside were just in the bar. The waitress didn't seem too happy to move us. We ended up moving our own items over and got situated. Our waiters seemed like they were nice, especially once we decided on our orders. My friend is sensitive to gluten and had a few questions. Some of the items he asked about said they were gluten-free on the menu, but the servers told us they were not. This happened a couple of times, and so my friend ended up getting a couple of chicken tacos. I got the street quesadillas and a side of refried beans. Wow, and wow again! Our food was delicious! I like how the quesadillas were made. They were individually wrapped and stuffed with tons of pull able cheese, acocado, and poblano peppers. Everything came together so well, and I loved that it was topped with lettuce, crema, and cojita cheese. Omg! Every bite was amazing, and I loved the price. To wash it all down, I got their berry margarita that was not super sweet and had tons of flavor. One is enough, so keep that in mind! Minus one star for the service as the staff needs to be a little more knowledgeable about the items and that they can not guarantee their drinks or food can be gluten free--even if they say they are. It's okay if they do not know or can not guarantee it. I would come back for another margarita and their street quesadillas. The chips and salsa were fabulous as well. The chips were crispy, and the salsa had a nice kick to it, which made sropping myself from eating more very difficult. I'm so glad there are to go boxes!

    Barbacoa Burrito
    Michelle L.

    Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. We were a group of eight! Chips and salsa were yummy. All of us enjoyed our meals. My barbacoa burrito was very good and my husband ordered roasted vegetables with beans and rice. We would go there again when we are visiting Portland. Kids enjoyed watching sports on TV.

    Steak fajitas, chicken enchiladas, margaritas.

    Well presented dishes. The garnish with the enchiladas made it very fresh and the chicken was flavorful. Steak fajitas that had a good amount of peppers and not just onions. Drinks were well made and refreshing with the food!

    Fish Tacos
    Klaus O.

    We had a table right at the windows, with lots of daylight. That was our second visit. The service was always outstanding and friendly. The drinks are great and the food is good. You get a good bang for your buck here.

He gave us menus & said we could sit wherever we wanted, he showed us where their water station is in case we wanted water. Our server, Amber, came by & introduced herself and the bartender- I thought that was a nice touch to introduce the bartender. Having been a server for over 37 years, I really like it when staff work together & take care of each other! She asked if we wanted any beverages, my daughter ordered coffee & I said I was just going to grab a water- she said she would bring it to me. My daughter ordered corned beef hash & a gluten free english muffin- she was thrilled to have a gf option! I ordered the country benedict. Our food came out looking REALLY good, the potatoes were nice & golden brown. We both ordered our poached eggs medium & that is exactly how they came out. Everything was very delicious & the portions were large- we both need to-go boxes. The coffee was refilled 3 or 4 times without having to ask. They actually smoke their meats out on their patio which we thought was cool! The place was nice & clean, the staff was friendly & knowledgeable. Kudos to Amber, the bartender, & the chef! The only thing I didn't like was if you use a credit/debit card there is a fee. I very much recommend Three Mermaids!

We came specifically for the Brussels…read moresprouts and ended up staying for the Fiesta Trio -- queso, house salsa, and guac served with chips. The queso and house salsa were excellent and absolutely worth ordering. The guac was a little more onion-forward than my personal preference; I tend to like an avocado-forward guacamole, but that's just a taste thing. The space itself has a great vibe -- lively without being overwhelming -- and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a fun, relaxed place to snack, sip, and catch up. I'll definitely be back for happy hour.

I'm soaking I said, but I didn't mean to do it she said but that doesn't stop me dripping everywhere and I'm going to have to send my clothes to the cleaner, you can't wash silk.

I'm soaking wet, your waitress says you can't pay for dry cleaning and I have to go back to work looking like this. He threw us out of the restaurant, I'm still having a hard time believing that someone in the hospitality industry would behave like this, he lost several customers for the restaurant over something which was entirely the waitresses fault
