Great drinks! Super overpriced! Double the price as all other Mexican restaurants around.

Good size portion for the cost. Got the veggie quesadilla and side of rice. Good food! Outdoor and inside seating. They have TVs for the sport fans. read more

Margarita Factory - Gresham - Mexican Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Surprisingly fun Mexican restaurant. We had a George Clooney margarita which surprised us in both quality and size. No worries if you don't finish it, they have a to go bag to yeti it home. Mojitos were good too and large guacamole delicious but pricey. The table had fajitas, burrito, Chile rellenos, Chile verde, and Chile Colorado . The latter were delicious. The Chile rellenos were good but needed sauce for a little spice. Service was superior and pleasant atmosphere. We would definitely go back! read more

I once fell in love with a girl that was out of my league. I tried hard to impress her for months. Finally.... it worked. We went out. We dated. She rode motorcycles and drove fast cars. We married. But true happiness has only been achieved after being regulars at the gresham margarita factory and being served by Steven, Dillon, nd Rebecca on a regular basis. They are fast, attentive, and friendly. They genuinely love to be here.... and that makes all the difference. When you know.... you know. They are amazing. Tell them Rob sent you. read more

I tried the Avocado Tostada with chicken and it was really delicious! I wish I had taken my phone so I could take a pic. Healthy and fulfilling. This place never disappoints me: fast and friendly service, good food and I love the music (reggaeton). read more

Margarita Factory - Gresham - Tostada con arroz y beans. - Mexican Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Today was my first day at margarita factory & let me tell you.. it's not the "hype" that people tell you when it comes to the vibes. We got seated and got walked passed by for 10mins before we got water & chips let alone a hello. Then another 10mins pass & still no one until a random waiter delivered the wrong food & asked if it was ours. NOPE! Awkward stare. He took our order for our drinks. Another 15mins pass by & I just walked out. WORST SERVICE EVER! People got seated close to us & still got there food & drinks way before. Let's try happy valley location read more

Was there for a 70th birthday party (which was held upstairs). There was over 70 guests and the manager and 1 other employee did an outstanding job keeping water glasses, chips, salsa filled. If one bowl was empty and asked for refill a special effort was made to get right back to freshen things up. The buffet was excellent. Things were warm but not dried out. I made mention to our serve (not knowing he was the manager) that i was diabetic and had to eat soon. He stopped everything he was doing and made me a dish. Exceptional service. Would highly recommend for a banquet or lunch/dinner read more

Amazing Mexican food, the bar has a great atmosphere for sports and hanging out. Good staff that are very attentive. Large portions and good happy hour! read more

This business has a good variety of dishes to choose from but however their price category should be listed as "$$$" instead of "$$". Their combo dinners are either $11 or $13 to start with but a substitution costs an extra $1 for a burrito, etc. But they also charge another $1 for sour cream/guacamole to be added to your combo platter. Their "small" margaritas start off at $10 Their bean/cheese on your main plate only covers about 1/4 of your plate and it's barely 1/4 inch think. Be careful a family of four can easily spend $60+ even without alcoholic beverages. To save money you are better off going on "Happy Hour" at this restaurant. read more

The worst food I've ever had at a restaurant- do not list they're ridiculous prices on the menu. The service was slow and lame.

Their food is extremely overpriced and it's not authentic tasting whatsoever. The service is terrible. Do not waste your money here! If you want good Mexican food in Gresham, go to El Indio! read more

Apparently after 13 weeks of going, they say you have to buy a drink when you order from the happy hour menu. I have never had to before, i usually get a water and use a flavor packet from home. I don't see that it says that anywhere. The server says it says it on the menu, but didn't know where either. They still have great Carne Asada though. read more

I gave a one because the service was horrible however the food was pretty good but we literally were seated for 24 mins exactly until we got asked what we would like to drink and than she brought our chips and forgot our drinks twice! Lol read more

I have been there two times in one week and was pleasantly surprised by the quick service, especially based on some of the reviews. Every staff member was wanting to make sure that I was enjoying my food and drink. I feel that the best deals, without the quality suffering as well, are during happy hour times. I would highly recommend this place to be your happy hour spot! read more

Seriously awesome service by extremely well dressed and professional staff. Whoever manages this place does an awesome job and it shows, you can tell the emphasis that is placed on the appearance and attentiveness of the staff. Like many Mexican restaurants they serve salsa with chips, however the chips and salsa here are amazing. Another great thing they provide is unlimited chips and salsa while you wait for your food at no extra cost which is nice compared to many places in the local area that charge for it. The drinks are fairly priced and the margaritas are HUGE, definitely worth giving them a try. The food is pretty standard, nothing to exceptional but it is always a great meal and with everything else to take in consideration this place absolutely deserves a 5 star review. read more

Mexican food is my favorite food and it is rare when I actually leave a bad review on it but this place definitely deserved it. If you're looking for some quality Mexican food to hit the spot, this is definitely not the place eat at. I've been here 3 times now (first by myself and my friends convinced me the other two times) and every time I was unsatisfied. Chips are obviously reheated and NOT fresh as they were burnt and tasted stale. The salsa is practically just salt and tomatoes. I ordered the fajitas and it was purely vegetables and no meat (the meat was dry and not juicy). The beans were surprisingly not too bad so I mixed them with the flavorless rice to get through my meal. Margaritas had no Strength I might as well have ordered it virgin. Just to save you guys the inconvenience, here are some restaurants I recommend: Ixtapa Mexican Restaurante Nuerstra cocina Porque no La costita Who song and Larry's read more

I used to love this place and one they changed from Mojave it went downhill slightly. Definitely still good food and pretty big menu. Plan on spending 10-30$ per person on each meal though. HUGE drink selection. read more

I went here because three of us agreed to check out Mojave, which appears to be a happening spot in the revitalized historic core of Gresham. Based on our party's experience, I'd give them 2 stars (I will explain) but will bump them up to 3 stars, giving them the benefit of the doubt. First, the name Mojave fetched interest. Mojave is the eerie sprawling desert northeast of Los Angeles and which is one heck of a counterpoint to the metropolis on the other side of the San Gabriel Mountains. It is also a species of rattlesnake you don't want to be messing with because it is reportedly more toxic than the others. So, for three Californians, the place seemed appropriate. From the outside, Mojave is modern and inviting. Street parking is easily found. The interior is also nicely finished. The sports bar, seen upon entering, sits in a double-story space and the restaurant seating area, which is attractive, is in a one-story area and many seats offer views to the outside. As for the food, it was very good. Each of the three lunch entrees - a combination of 2 items, fish tacos, and a large burrito with Colorado style shredded beef - met with hearty approval. I couldn't gauge how the others felt about the accompanying items. As for me, I felt that the rice was very flavorful but the beans were sort of flat. The chips were fine, as was the salsa. While not a big deal, the salsa tended toward the middle of the spiciness range. They could offer a choice of two salsas as do a lot of other Mexican restaurants. So, then, what went wrong? A minor issue was the service. We were basically told to sit anywhere and then our order was taken expediently and the food was also delivered quickly. However, the general approach was sort of pert, too familiar, and we had to then "negotiate" a misunderstanding on the final tab. That dovetails into the second issue. The pricing of one meal got skewed extremely disproportionately because of a customization request. It was to the point of being ridiculous. With a restaurant that wasn't crowded, the waitress was going to play hardball on her own. In reality, I wanted the manager involved because he needed to be in touch with the customers and with what the issue was. At first, he was defensive but then saw where we were coming from and it was resolved. I was both miffed and amused. I was miffed because this situation even transpired and I was amused because the waitress's attitude took me back to growing up fairly close to the beach in Los Angeles where I had seen this same attitude in restaurants before! In short, they need to rebalance their pricing scheme and, as for specific items, a combination with 3 items in addition to 1 or 2 would be a good idea. Most Mexican restaurants offer that. This place occupies a niche. In this tight geographic area, they are the de facto stand-alone and slightly more upscale Mexican restaurant whereas Bocelli's and Nicholas occupy the same niche for Italian and Middle Eastern food, respectively. We mused that we should have gone to Bocelli's, where the service has always been seamless. As for Mojave, the food, though somewhat Americanized, is indeed good. Just cross your t's and dot your i's when ordering and make sure you're on the same page with the staff. I might just need a cooling off period before going back there. read more

We decided to try Mojave for the first time and will not be returning. While the waitstaff was very friendly and attentive, the food was mostly terrible. We enjoyed the margaritas and the guacamole appetizer , but from there things just got worse and worse. The coconut shrimp came out completely over-cooked (read: burnt) and we sent it back, the street tacos were blah with not much on the plate and the "Avocado Tostada" was thin layers of beans and chicken, a MOUND of iceberg lettuce and 4 slices of overly ripe avocado. And $6.75 for a kids quesadilla with nothing but a tortilla and some cheese? It didn't even come with a drink! Everything else was overpriced as well. Overall, it felt like they are 1) trying to do too much and 2) decided to open a sports bar first, then decided to throw all sorts of fried food on the menu. This is not a place I would choose to visit again. read more

Found a working TV, in fact, 3 screens turned to to the quarterfinal win by the US in Women's World Cup soccer. Toasted the US win over France with a pair of tasty Corona lights! Appreciative small but devoted fan club here. Waitresses were very nice about my not ordering food. read more

I'll start with what they do right. Happy hour - cheap margaritas and cheap appetizers. Complimentary chips and salsa. Salsa is decent. The guacamole is good. Now with what they don't do well. Their entrees are terribly over priced for Mexican food and the food is average at best. My advice: only go for happy hour. read more

What a disappointment to show up to 4th Street Brewing and see it changed five days earlier to a Mexican restaurant! But since we were already there, we had to give it a try. Service was slooooow. Slow to take our order (we wondered if anyone was even working there), slow to get our food, slow to get a to-go box, slow to get our check. It was not busy at all, and there seemed to be plenty of wait staff. Beer selection is decent for a Mexican restaurant, but really lacking for an Oregon restaurant (especially one that used to be a microbrewery). I think there were two micros on tap. Food was average. That's probably being generous. The chips tasted like they came from a bag. The salsa was fresh but just ok. No chipotle Tabasco, Tapatio or Cholula at the table (or salt and pepper for that matter). I definitely won't be back. What a seriously epic loss for Gresham. read more

Everything was wonderful our servers Graciella and Lupita did an excellent job! Food was great and so were our cocktails!

It was okay. It tastes like they need to change the oil- the chips were pretty bad. The only good thing I can say is that the beans were really good- the rest of it was pretty blah. For the prices - I would have hoped for better. Don't think we will return bc it was just blah read more

My experience here was infuriating. We had to ask for water then we had to ask if we could have two salsas instead of one. The food is way over priced! My hubby and I ordered fajitas for two. When we got our food they only gave us one plate that had watery refried beans, tasteless gauc, a little bit of sour cream and Spanish rice. They gave us only enough fajita mixture to make three 5 inch flour tortilla buritos. Then they decided to charge us 17.99 for that! I was still hungry after we left the place. If I had known my experience there would have been so bad I would have just gone to la carreta they serve you enough delicious food to even take leftovers home at a more reasonable price. Save your money and go some place else. Service: 7 Food: 1 Pricing: 1 read more

The food is alright but definitely not worth the price. It is way too expensive for what you get. Definitely disapointing

Walked in and waited for approximately ten minutes before we were greeted. If it wasn't for the food being decent I would have given a single star. The service was slow at best, and the server seemed to be bothered by us. When I wanted to pay he slammed the receipt down and walked away and didn't bother thanking us for coming in, but why would they, since they were so busy with us and the other table. The place seemed fairly clean, with the exception of the dirty beer glass, but if I wanted a clean one I probably would have had to wait about twenty minutes.... Update: I went in after the owner contacted me to give it another chance. I appreciated the effort, so I tried it out again. The service didn't improve by much, but I do really enjoy the food so I added another star. If I don't mind waiting and receiving mediocre service, I will go again for the food. read more

My girlfriend and I love coming here every Friday to have a margarita. We always sit in Miranda section. She's the reason we come back. Her service is by far the best we have ever had in Gresham. This place was come a long way from where it used to be. read more

One Star would be VERY GERNEROUS! My friend and I were looking forward to trying Mojave Grill for the first time but our entire experience was disappointing... We were seated quickly but as for the rest of the service, it was slow and in the end we ended up having at least five different people waiting our table! After being there a few minutes, we had to ask for water, then it took forever and had to ask someone else walking by... Seriously! After looking over the menu, we ordered some drinks but they never came! After a rediculously long time one of the guys came to our table to see if everything was ok, we asked if our drinks had been forgotten and he went to check. He came right back to our table with three other people serving our dinner... Our drinks FINALLY came out WITH OUR DINNER :( We split the Arroz Con Pollo... It was edible but very dry, not much sauce just chicken, cheese and rice... The flour tortillas were totally out of a bag. One of the tortillas must have ripped in half coming out of the bag but they served it anyway, not to mention they were barely even warm! We also ordered a little side of refried beans & cheese. The beans came out slightly warm and we had to ask for them to be heated up so the cheese would melt... While in the middle of dinner, the waitress brought us our check and with food on our plate and fork in hand she cleared the table without even asking if we were finished!I HAVE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN BEFORE! We were ready to pay, had our cards hanging out the top of the pmt folder but our server never came back! After a few minutes another girl came by and offered to process our pmt... Overall it seems like the wait staff spends more time getting ready for work than the effort put into their service... For the $20 bucks spent on half a dinner here, I could have gone to Uly's and had WAY better EVERTHING! read more

We just had lunch here and I was pleasantly surprised by the level of service and the amazing food. Very fun and good place to hang out for lunch or for drinks! I would strongly recommend this Mojave Grill. read more

Mojave is new to the block! And I'm actually very excited that we have a good Mexican Cantina right around the corner from my parents house. Greshem needs a little spice in their life. Very friendly employees, always check on us make sure that we had everything to our liking. And also talk to us about the new brewery that they're opening up soon! I was sad to see the Oldbury location go, but they insured us that there IPAs and their Mexican beers would be very very good. I'm excited to see what they have to offer!!!! read more

I don't write that many reviews, but I was here tonight for the second half of the Timbers game. Unfortunately the Timbers lost, but my experience at Mojave was terrific. It was about half full which I consider "reasonably" crowded in the sports bar for a Sunday evening, and I was greeted by a friendly staff member before I could even take my seat at the bar. Although the bartender who was helping me was plenty attentive, throughout my visit, at least four employees checked on me to ask if I needed anything or if everything was okay. The bartender was friendly and chatted periodically, as I came alone to watch the end of the aforementioned game. Let me tell you, Gresham is lacking (even when this was 4th street) in a quality sports bar where the atmosphere isn't "party dance club" or "loud cover band" or "mellow beer drinker only. Trust me, like those places also but a true place to kick back and watch the game was missing. Not anymore. The food was great, house salsa with the perfect amount of heat. Perfectly cooked shrimp. Interesting and creative drink options (didn't even know this was possible with staples like margarita), and Jell-O shot on the house when the timbers score! Very fun. Only reason I rated four instead of five stars is I consider five stars perfect. Perfect. I can't lodge any serous complaints here without sounding stupid so I'll leave it at saying Mojave isn't "perfect," but they are really really good. Much better than what came before. read more

OMG.. Finally a mexican restaurant in Gresham that gets it!! The staff is well trained,polite, and very attentive. I watched the owner Betty work with her people and was very impressed. I had the vegetarian quesadilla which was delicious. The large portion of fresh tortilla and lots of tasty veggies full of flavor !!! This is a must visit soon place.!!! I am coming back again this Friday for a birthday lunch and will see if I have the same experience.. read more

Service is SSLLOOOOOW. You ask for a something during your meal, and they never bring it. No refills, no salsa - nothing. Food is just average (at best) and WAY overpriced. Chips are overly salty. Plus sides - huge portions and the salsa is good. read more

Ok, so I have been here about 4 times now... The service is always great, and the food is always very tasty... Love the salsa, but the chips are usually stale and just overall a disappointment; especially when the salsa is perfect. Which brings me to my main complaint; the "perfect margarita"... They make their own margarita mix and use fresh limes, but then they ruin the whole thing with monarch Tequilla! Yuck... I'm sure most people will love it and not know the difference, but come on, a Mexican restaurant making a "perfect margarita" with monarch Tequilla? I also wasn't impressed with the arrogant response when mentioned my displeasure with monarch... The waitress said I could upgrade the Tequilla, but I was annoyed at this point and wasn't willing to pay $4 more to turn the so called "perfect margarita" into the real deal... There's much better Tequila for a small increase in cost to them. I guess it's just the perfectionist in me, but I felt ripped off. @mojave - just use the $7.99 from the first margarita and use those chips to buy some sauza or something better than monarch! This will make people feel like you have some standards at least, and care about what you serve vs looking like you are only out there to make money... I love the place and the food and while they are new, they are doing a pretty good job. I think with a couple minor tweaks, they can dominate the competition in the area... I like the food enough to go back and I may update this review later... I'm only giving it 3 stars because I go to a Mexican restaurant for food and DRINKS. But as it sits, there are better options... Check out 7 mares on Powell or blue agave... You won't find shitty monarch products in either one of those places because..... They have standards. And the food is just as good... read more
