We have been back a couple times since our first review and am VERY happy to say we were pleasantly surprised! The Carne Asada is wonderful, I do wish it was served with a bit of shredded cheese. The salsa verde is too mild but it's ok. The drinks are good but on the spendy side. Love the patio!! read more

Horrible food, horrible service, gave it a second chance after an unforgiveable visit last February, today was equally as bad, the waitress had on dirty clothes, she was not friendly, she was not helpful, the food was over-salted, Bland, just disgusting, overpriced for sloop...save your money people! read more

The "manager" here is terrible. The prices on their drinks are exorbitant, and any issue that a customer had is treated with rudeness. I will never go there again. read more

From the outside, Mojave looks like it would be a great place to eat. Prompt seating as we walked in the door but that's where the good experience ended. Upon being seated, our server brought a coloring menu for our daughter, with no crayons. We also didn't get any water until we requested it, after ordering and receiving drinks. Margaritas are a little over priced. The margarita flavor was off. It was over poured, which I don't mind, but the actual margarita flavor didn't taste like margarita. It tasted a bit like watered down tequila with a little bit of lime. Our server brought out chips and salsa, but the chips weren't very good and salsa portion was tiny. Our waitress offered us guacamole for our chips and we agreed that we would like some. If we had known that the guac was $7, I would have said no to that one avocado with no additional flavoring. We decided what to eat and placed our order. When the food arrived, it came on burning hot plates. The plates were so hot we could not hold either of the two taco's, which ended up costing $15.95...for two taco's and some Spanish rice. Who charges almost $16 for two tacos?!? Mojave does! The flavor of the tacos was way off. I come from a Mexican family and I can say from a lifetime of eating Mexican food that these taco's didn't have good Mexican flavor. I ordered a carne asada burrito. Again the flavor was way off. There was a brown sauce poured over the top that reminded me of gravy, and a tiny portion of sour cream and even smaller portion of guacamole, on the side of the plate. After finishing the meal, we asked for the check. I Placed my card with the bill and the waitress took it away. When she returned I said, "I forgot to ask, do you offer a military discount?" She replied, "We do offer a discount, I think its 10% or something, I would have giving it to you if you had asked before. Next time you come in, tell me before you get the bill and I will give you a veterinarian discount." VETERINARIAN DISCOUNT"?!?! I am not a veterinarian, although I did fight in a war in Afghanistan when I was a corpsman with the Marines. Although I understand we all live in very different worlds, and we don't all have respect for our nations military, I felt disrespected and dissatisfied. Not to mention that our bill was $61 for two adults and our four year old child. Needless to say we will not return to Mojave. I justify the one star rating with the prompt service we received at the door. The rest of the experience rated no stars. The bottom line is the service was slow, we had to ask for the basics that should always be given automatically by any good restaurant (like water), nothing tasted as it should (except our daughter's kid's meal mac-n-cheese and the tiny portion of salsa) and everything was over priced. I hope the next restaurant that replaces this one will be better. read more

this place is terrible. no offense to the folks of Gresham but maybe they have never really had good Mexican food. bad drinks, terrible service and my pork carnitas smelled and tasted like fish! never again will I eat here! and yes it's incredibly over priced. read more

Excellent service! Great autmosphere. Love, love, love and im not sure if im spelling it right but the Siete Mares Soup. Thats my favorite soup and ive tried and looked at other restraunts it in portland and gresham but Either they dont have it or its not good. Mohaves has an amazing soup. If you like spicy throw in the whole habanero sauce it gives it a perfectly spicy flavor. Ive also tried the chicken taquitos, guacamole, and flan. All are excellent choices. Go try them out youll love it! I forgot to get pictures so next time I go ill take some and post for those of you who havent been there. read more

If you want to waste your money on crap food this is the place. I just spent $28.50 for two street tacos and a fajita with no drinks. Yes, you read that right almost thirty bucks for rubbery fish that has now given me a stomach ache and rice out of a box. My husband had the fajitas and the tomatoes were literally white. My advice? Chuy's less money and better products plus you don't have to deal with the strippers. read more

Bad! Waited 5 minutes to be seated then offered a table with a broken light. When asked if the light worked the waitresses looked at me like I had asked for a golden spoon. Food was not good and over priced. My husband described it as a step up from taco bell. Drink order and food order came out wrong. We never knew who our waitress was because 4 different people tried to take our order. Felt like some stole 50 bucks from us. We are patrons of downtown Gresham often but will never come again. read more

Holy smokes, the Perfect Cadillac margaritas are STRONG. In the best way possible. GET ONE. Seriously. We attended my friend's surprise birthday party here Friday night. The downstairs was packed, but we had a reserved table upstairs, which was a little more quiet. Everyone seemed to enjoy their drinks and food. I got the Petite Salad and like the menu says, it's anything but small! It was pretty tasty, but I had to take half of it home due to the size. Worth it. read more

Service was awful. The tea tasted as if it had been sitting for over 3 days. The food was mediocre at best. The employees were messing around and being louder than the other guests. And once your server is gone, don't expect them to come back and check on you. I also can't believe the music (not Mexican, but it was the unclean version of someone's Pandora). Not to mention, our server was dressed in an outfit more fitting for a strip club bartender. I will NEVER spend my money here again. read more

Awesome place for drinks and watching a game! However, the food is terrible! Kind of sort of an expensive taco bell. But like I said, good for drinks only! read more

So here is the deal. The first time I came here was shortly after it opened. I came for happy hour. The price for happy hour drinks was good. It was nice and hot out so I sat outside. The server greeted us, brought out the drinks and chips, and then kind of disappeared for a while. When she finally came back, I asked for water and she forgot. It wasn't a huge deal the first time, servers have lots to do. I ordered the taquitos, and asked for water again when she came back. The tacquitos were pretty good, but again no water. She was gone so long after that I asked a different server for my check, and walked home in a heated sweaty daze. I don't like my drinks with a side of dehydration and heat stroke. A very important side note here... the servers were dressed so scandalously that it made me feel dirty. I don't want any dead skin cells from a short backless dress sloughing off in my food. Eww. When I first sat down I wasn't sure if I was there for food or to experience the new red light district in Gresham. So do you think I learned my lesson the first time? Sorta. Uly's was closed and some friends and I wanted to try some nice tequilas so we decided to see what Mojave had to offer. We sat at the bar and I am pleased to say that this bartender was fully clothed. In the end we weren't impressed with the tequila selection, and found it to be much more expensive than Uly's. We had two shots, paid our tab, and went home. I think this is the closing of the book for me on Mojave. read more

The worst service ever. Mediocre food. (This is from the summer time of 2015 but I still cannot get this visit out of my mind) We got seated right away. 10 min goes by. Every other table got greeted by waitresses except ours. We thought ok we must be in one of those hard to see tables (in the middle of the restaurant) We asked the hostess if we could get a server. She was very nice and apologized and said she would get us chips and water. Another 5 min goes by and a bus boy delivers chips. We ask if we could get some salsa. He said sure and brought the salsa to another table. The table next to us had already gotten their order taken now. We decided to give them one more chance and go back up to the hostess. She apologized again. This really apologetic woman comes to our table says she is the owner and can take our order. I asked her since we have been there now for 20-25 min and the next table is now getting their food "now if you take my order your going to check on us and not just take our money right?" She said "oh my goodness yes". We let her take our order and never saw her again. Another server was walking around the restaurant asking each table if they ordered the food. That server did walk by again and we asked for another drink. She quickly brought our check, but not the drinks we just ordered. Ok time to go and never come back. read more

Chips and salsa to go for $12??? Really? Other restaurants in the area charge max $8 and for a bigger portion.

We tried Majave for a late night dinner recently and have no plans of going back. As others have mentioned, the chips were stale and served with a teeny tiny bowl of salsa. Wait, was that salsa or tomato sauce? Our service was lackadaisical and not once were we asked if we wanted more chips or another margarita. Speaking of the "perfect" margarita, it wasn't anything special and far from perfect. On a side note their drink menu doesn't even show their prices. Why?! We ended up ordering the signature super nachos to split because we didn't want to pay $13.00 for a basic burrito-why pay that when you can go to one of the hundreds of Taquerías and get something twice as good for 1/2 the price?! The nachos were "blah" and those refried beans tasted like the came out of the can. They give you about 1 tablespoon of guacamole and sour cream and will nickle and dime you to death at any opportunity. Read the fine print! Overall I just think that with so many options with Mexican food that there is nothing about this place that makes them stand out and they are overpriced for mediocre Mexican food! read more

Our Families #1 destination for Mexican food in Gresham. Love the atmosphere and the food is amazing. Every meal has been perfect. You can tell the team is happy and loves their jobs due to the fact they will go above and beyond to ensure you have an amazing experience. read more

Bums me out to give this place one star because I was hoping it'd be awesome after hearing how great it was. But, I guess it's only awesome if you're a guy. The hostesses were great, seated us quickly and got us water quickly. But our waitress...she was awful. She took 40 minutes to take our order, got one order completely wrong and half heartedly tried to correct it. But when she was told that the person didn't enjoy there wrong item, she didn't even try to make it right. She completely ignored half of the table (the female half), and talked about the drugs she'd tried and how she likes to off-road while drunk. I kid you not. And when I was talking to the person next to me, while she was telling the rest of her table about her drunken adventures, she paused to give us crap about not listening to her talk. A friend tried to explain that we weren't into whatever she was talking about, to which she responded that she was different from other girls (whatever that means). I have never had such an experience at a restaurant that has angered me so thoroughly as the blatant rudeness of this waitress. The food was good, but not worth the abysmal waitress or the expensive prices. Only redemption was one of the ladies who was refilling the chips and salsa who had short reddish hair. She was the sweetest, acknowledged the whole table, and was respectful and fun. Hope that she gets moved into waitressing! read more

Food is WAY overpriced for the quality they're dishing out. Only good thing I can say is their staff is very friendly and accommodating. Too bad the food isn't that great. Not bad, just not that great. We won't be coming back. read more

Amazing food, friendly staff, and nice ambiance. This place is fantastic. Best margaritas I've had in a long time. This is my new favorite place. read more

Food is hit or miss no consistency. Wont be going back after the owner yelled at me for bringing the bill to her to pay after waiting 30 minutes after the waiter brought the check and never came back to pick it up. I dont know what she was thinking but she flipped out and said "dont ever come up to me like that again".I only walked up to the bar area where the waitress gets the drinks where she was standing and tried to hand her my bill. What a psycho! read more

Food was alright-usually much better! Plate was hot but food was only warm. Service was slow. Our check says our server was Tabitha but I'm not sure that's correct. She did not give us her name when she introduced herself and someone else brought the check. We were seated across from where the servers are and saw our server on her phone multiple times... while we were waiting to order and pay. We asked for boxes and were brought some, but I only was given a box for my queso and beans- not the main food. read more

I've been multiple times and have always been pleased by their food. Great local place.

We have visited here several times and the food is delicious, service is prompt and the drinks are worth the money.

This has been a go to place since it opened. Love the food and the atmosphere. The other night I was there and the server Mario ruined it for me. I do not see myself going back anytime soon. Mario was rude and should not be in customer service. He was arrogant and belittled me. I would give the food five stars and other servers in the past at least five stars Mario gets a -10. ! read more

First time here the pictures don't lie on here the place was great. Food was great, fresh, authentic, drinks were good and strong but still tasted good. Mango margarita I took the idea off the photos. Service was prompt and friendly. I think you have to be pretty to work there but were all friendly. Overall wonderful experience!!! read more

Great food, exceptional service! A little spendy but worth it! Loved the atmosphere and can say their service is superior to the rest in the area read more

Great service ,awesome drinks Lacee was the best . We had happy hour food and Drinks.

Amazing burritos! I love their burritos and so does my boyfriend. Although, not a fan of the staff. Kinda rude and rushes their customer.

Best Mexican food ever! The only negative is the waitress not really checking up on us to make sure our order was perfect or if we needed refills/drinks, and throwing bad jokes in the mix like "you need a bigger table" .. well you assigned it to us??? Lol.. Just need more customer service training. Other than that, Id definitely go back for the yummy food :) read more

This is the first time I have eaten here and I am a little let down. I ordered some kind of a seafood soup. Sorry I can't remember the name. My girlfriend ordered the carne Asada. The seafood was very heavy on the cilantro and tasted very fishy. I was surprised that they called the skirt steak carne because it tasted like unmarinated steak that they seasoned with salt and pepper while it was on the grill. Over all the wait staff was attentive and friendly but I would not recommend the food. read more

I stopped in for what I thought would be a quick lunch on election day and ordered the chicken tortilla soup. 50 minutes later I received the soup which was so bland I had to dump the salsa dish into it to give it some flavor. The service was good which is why I give it two stars. All in all, the soup plus the drink and tip amounted to $12 I wish I could have back. read more

Over priced cocktails and average tasting food. To many good Mexican restaurants in the Gresham area to waste money here in my opinion. Give it a shot and make your own judgement. read more

Food was extremely salty...assuming a cover up for the blandness of the lack of flavor! Received a sticker along with my food, when sent back I got attitude. Service was horrible. Consistently ignored by staff, especially when trying to pay the bill. Margarita was ok, but nothing special. Got a horrible stomach ache, and other unmentionables, for hours after eating. Overall a horrible experience that I probably could have spun into an ok experience had the service been better! I had heard just great reviews from people-hugely disappointed. read more

Not only I love the name... but the service and drinks are also excellent! The margarita comes in like 20 flavours (prickly pear, guava, papaya, coconut, etc etc). good looking and professional servers with a sports bar / tex mex spin. Totilla soup cna be made vegeterian and it was not starchy or heavy at all. read more

Every time I'm in town visiting from Virginia, we come here. Love the ambience and the best fish tacos ever!! I keep trying to find something comparable at home but no luck so far! Keep it up guys! read more

2 stars, only because the restaurant is nice and food is just okay. Over priced, and small servings compared to other places. Food always takes like an hour. Mixed drinks are basically a Virgin drink. Waste of money, just order juice. Every server I've had usually gets my order wrong. Order fajitas with ZERO veggies on any of the plates. They always give me veggies. read more

Decent. Waitress was very good, paid attention to details and was quick and efficient. The food is mediocre, nothing special. Wouldn't say it's my go to fav or a must see spot but not bad. read more

I love their food but their service has really gone downhill... food takes longer, servers are not checking in enough or refilling salsa, drinks etc.. want them to stick around so please get it together!! read more

Ok, so first off, I gotta give a big shout out to the bartender Edgar! He definitely saved our night! We will most likely be back for drinks. But as far as the rest of the service goes.... We sat down in the bar eating area and it took at least 15mins just to get our menus, but it seemed to be going ok after that, until our food came and I guess our waitress left...or something, we didn't see her the rest of the night. We needed chips, and tortillas etc. and we had to go up to the 7 or so people running around doing I don't know what, and ask for it. Then when we were finished we sat for about 20mins until we finally just went up to the bar and had him cash us out. He was very friendly and apologized that our waitress skipped out. This is not the first time I've had this experience here, too many waitresses and not enough service. I'm not saying we won't go back, but hopefully they get their act together the next time we're there. On a side note, the food was good for American Mexican food but definitely overpriced. But the drinks made up for it. read more

Fabulous food fine attentive service. It is worth coming here from NYC to see how Mexican food can be prepared. We had enchiladas, chile replenish, and excellent drinks, with fine service. Thank you Betty!!! read more
