    Strawberry and mango margaritas
    Jenna M.

    This is the place to go to have a good time! It is very busy, but the service is on point and staff is super friendly. We skipped the wait and sat at the bar, and some of the drinks that the bartenders were making were pretty awesome! It was a great show. Very upbeat, lively restaurant. Prices are a little steep for the neighborhood area. Drinks: We had the strawberry margarita, and the mango margarita and they were both flavorful. I didn't notice till after- they have a margarita sampler and must try next time! And looking at their menu, look up the patron tower.... For food, we ordered the quesadilla de Kamaron (YUM!!), and also the King Burrito- wow! Big boy.

    Molcajete Tradicional
    Mariah C.

    My partner and I came during happy hour, we ordered the molcajete and ceviche with fish. The service was quick and the staff were all very sweet and welcoming. While we waited for our food they brought chips and salsa. The chips tasted fresh, crisp, and the salsa was the perfect amount of flavor with a bit of spice. The molcajete was packed with food, the sauce was sweet but mainly spicy. On the side it came with beans, rice and tortillas. The ceviche was refreshing and tangy. There was plenty of food for the two of us and we ended up taking home half of the ceviche. The space was decorated so cute and was bigger than I expected. I will definitely be back and I'm looking forward to my next meal!

    My partner and I have this thing where we try out a new spot in search of the best molcajate dish. We came to Don Kamaron on a Saturday night close to 8pm and there was a 25 min wait. Seeing how packed the place was, the line of people waiting to be seated only enticed us more! When seated, we were greeted with the best customer service i've received in a long time! Our waitress thanked us for our patience, and was personable with us through out our entire time there. We of course got the molcajate. Chicken, Steak, Chorizo, and The best shrimp! The cactus and cheese were perfectly cooked. This molcajate has made its way to #1 on our list and we have tried many molcajates. The hot cheeto sushi was good too but wouldn't necessarily re order. We got shot of whiskey that were poured at our table and filled to the tippy top! We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

    The food was amazing & the drinks were even better the restaurants music gave it a great ambiance! We got the mejillones en salsa, molcajete tradicional, the margarita flight & the beer tower. The service was great as well, everyone was very attentive to our needs.

Such a small detail that makes a big difference. The Citrus Salad was super fresh, crisp, and delicious, which balanced everything out perfectly.

Extra side of yummy and creamy black bean frijoles with sour cream, butter, tortillas. Instead of desert, the Mezcal, chile and lime was refreshing. Right now open for lunch Thursday through Sunday 10-3pm. No fixed menu, changes with what's fresh - the way chef Angel loves to cook respecting what is in season. Service and ambiance is friendly and knowledgeable about the food and its origin - another reason I love dining here so I learn about what I'm eating and how it was inspired. Yes, the food plated looks so good, I am inspired to dig in. There's a reason it was recognized early in its start by Eater, Portland Monthly and the Oregonian as one of the best restaurants in the city because foodies seek out and love to go where the food experience is special - especially the chef tasting menus in the past.

The person at the counter taking our order was helpful, efficient, and their enthusiasm carried over into the dining portion of the visit. My rule of thumb is that if a place has Cochinita Pibil on the menu, then they can be counted on to do things right. My CP taco had just the right amount of spice to leave me with a pleasant, warm feeling inside, about a half hour after we left. The horchata was cool and soothing, even though it had a wonderful, over-the-top cinnamon flavor. Having tables with permanently assigned numbers, and having your table assigned at the time you place your order makes for a spectacularly efficient way of getting you settled, and getting your food to the table in short order. Their artwork adds to the joyous ambiance - photo tributes to entertainers makes it fun.

We ordered the bowl, one with carnitas and other with avocado. Both were very tasty! You can tell that the ingredients were fresh, the carnitas were tender and well seasoned. They also had a mango hot sauce brought to the table in a bottle that is amazing. I drenched my bowl with the sauce for the extra kick and flavor. The bowls are very filling. We ended up boxing up half of our food to bring home and finish for a late dinner. Would definitely come again and try their hot sandwiches. Will have to look into whether they sell their mango hot sauce separately as well. I'd buy a bottle!
