I ordered a burrito with grilled shrimp and steak, not only was it tasty, it was huge. It was filled with lots of meat, flavorful rice and refried beans. They gave me a variety of sauces:, green, red and the orange habanero which was my favorite. I also tried a pastor Panucho for my 1st time, wow this type of Yucatan taco is amazing and is now one of my favorite things on the menu. Everything is made fresh so the wait time may be a little long. So if you are in a hurry I would recommend calling in your order. read more

I am really a food snob, not in a bitchy way. But in the right way. This new venue is THE BEST MEXICAN IN PORTLAND. Hands down. Try it and you will understand. It's just that good. Holy shit. Can't wait to try everything. We had tacos and enchiladas, I was not expecting too much, never heard of the place, it was a new door dash chance purchase. Perfection. read more

Had cochinita burrito bowl. Relleno/enchilada plate. Salbute empanada and panucho. Yucatán food for me usually suffers because of the sauce selection but their sauce is more traditional Mexican so bonus for that. The best salbute and panucho I've ever had with generous meat portion. Everything was seriously great. read more

This is a new food cart at Gresham Food Carts. Everything on the menu looks so good. They even have fresh fish which I love. The food cart itself looks brand new, queen, and beautiful. The food came out fast and the owner wad very friendly and accommodating. The chicken itself on my salad was grilled and very tasty. Next time I'm trying the fried fish. read more

There was some black duct tape holding parts of the booth together, and since the booths aren't anchored to the floor, ours would shift whenever the people behind us moved, which was a little distracting. The food was okay, but nothing really stood out. The scrambled eggs tasted watered down and lacked flavor. The pancakes themselves were good, but they came with quite a bit more butter than necessary. We also ordered the chicken fried steak, which was tasty, though the potatoes that came with it tasted like they may have been from the day before. I might consider coming back to sit at the bar for cocktails or happy hour, but for a full meal I'm not sure I'd rush back. That said, it could have just been an off day -- there was actually a wait for tables as we were leaving, so clearly the place has a following.

Her side was a salad with ranch. I got the herb fries too. The wraps were dry (not enough sauce) and chewy (tough wrap). My jaw, at least, was tired after I ate both halves. The Buffalo had more flavor than the CBR. **Mom had her 2nd half for dinner tonight and she thought it tasted better. Mom liked the salad but thought the ranch was blah.
