Went here after our first choice was closed and, aside from total California prices, we were very happy. Everyone was very happy with their meal. My husband got a shrimp in garlic dish which I can't remember the name of and it was probably one of the best things I've tasted. So so so good. I got the tortilla soup which was solid. I didn't love that the chicken in it was just their grilled chicken added, but it was still good. Son had carnitas tacos and was over the moon. Lots of seating, they didn't seem that busy but maybe were understaffed because the only negative I could say was service a little slow, but they were nice about it. read more

We got here right when they opened, we're seated immediately. The gentleman who got our order and served us was very kind and personable. The margaritas were amazing, I got passionfruit and my brother got raspberry, very fresh tasting flavors, not too sweet. My friend got a mojito, fresh mint, she loved it! Food was great, all three of us got something different, I only got pics of mine because we were all starved and they dove it and so did I! The wait for the food was minimal, not sure how service would be when they're busy, but when they're not it's impeccable. The decor is a bit out there, and there's a lot of. Lots of colors and murals all over the restaurant. Been here before, will definitely come back again! read more

For one thing they've been closing long before they are supposed to close with no signs saying why, very disappointed in this restaurant

I will not give any stars of any kind.my friend and I went tonight for dinner.we ordered our sodas and my friend got hers but it took 20 minutes to get mine.when we ordered I told our male server I think his name is juan that I'm allergic to peppers and onions and no beans of any kind.he said there isn't any peppers or onions.ok. I got my plate and was having shredded beef enchiladas.i take a bite and there's green peppers loaded in it.i tell the server again I can't have onions and peppers and he told me its in their mix and it comes that way.i again said i told you i was allergic and he wanted to argue that i didn't.so he sent a female server to bring me a menu to order something else but i was told its in everything .so i said i dont want anything.we had chips and salsa which is free and i didnt eat the salsa.my friend asked for guacamole.we weren't told it costs $7.00.my friend was treated nice and with lots of friendly.i was treated like trash,ignored,and argued with.i refused to pay for the guacamole and was told well we removed your dinner.yeah cause i couldnt eat it.i was treated rudely,nasty,argued with,and felt discriminated .i will never ever eat there again.the service was garbage.i did video record it due to the way i was treated.our server was very rude and nasty . read more

This is one of my favorite places for Mexican. I've been going here for several years, and it's always consistent. Portions are large, and food arrives hot (both in restaurant and delivery). Nice selections too. They have good guacamole and chips, and I love their nachos. read more

LOVE THE SERVICE, STAFF & FOOD!!! I just love the people here and the food is excellent as well!! You won't be disappointed! It gets busy, but that's because everyone loves it! Check it out! read more

Some choose mexican food, some are born to mexican food and others have it thrust upon them. I am the one who had it thrust upon me. From March through October we run a road rally series in Portland called the Friday Nighter Series, and each event ends at a pizza place usually, sometimes a Denny's and some, like this one, ended at a Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant. When we arrived it was late in the evening, but the rally organizer arranged for this place to stay open later just for us, so it was nice to see a place actually bend over backwards to make money. My partner and I had been rushed to make the event and so we were pretty hungry when we got here. One thing about my partner and I, we know mexican food, we can spot the pretenders and the innovators as well as the posers and the talentless. We also know good standard mexican fare, which this was. I had the chili colorado burrito with rice and beans. It was good chili, the meat was maybe a little tougher than I like in that dish which usually means it was not simmering long enough, but it was good, not exceptional. The tortilla was made with real lard, you can tell easily which gave it a real authentic flavor. The rice was boring and kind of bland but the beans had the right stuff, combine the two and it covers a multitude of sins. What really stood out was even though we were keeping them there late, the service was fast and friendly, and n qualms about splitting checks either. The cocktails were reported to be excellent, the partner enjoyed a Consuela, rich with fruit, and the margaritas were heralded as excellent. I won't be returning here anytime too soon, I am just not out in Cornelius that often, but if I was I would consider this as an option to stop at. read more

Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant - Chili Colorado Burrito w/ rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Cornelius, Oregon

The food was great and the service was just as good. The chips and salsa was fresh and the waitress was nice enough to bring me out two different choices of salsa that were spicy, we got the chicken quesadilla for an appetizer and it was huge! Could have been a full meal! I got the carne asada with rice and beans and asked for it well done almost burnt and they gave me just that the rice and beans were good and so was the guacamole that came with it. The tortillas were also good. My bf got the dulex burrito and it was huge! He really enjoyed it and ate the whole thing. The reason for the 3 stars is because the food made me very sick like the runs and I threw up that night. It lasted for two days! Don't know if it was good poisoning or just something didn't sit right with my stomach. read more

Thankfully I had AMAZING customer service because the food was disappointing. I mean I don't expect it to be completely authentic but my hard tacos were worse than Taco Bell. Burrito far from warm. Seriously $40 not well spent. read more

On Cinco de Mayo, I had a craving for a taco salad. I ordered a vegetarian taco salad with beans, lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole. After I was almost done with it, I found a big chunk of meat. I was so dismayed. I pointed it out to our server and she said she would speak to the kitchen staff. She never came back. I went to the cashier to pay, they never asked how things were, and I brought up finding the meat in my salad. I got a lame sorry. This is the first time I have not tipped in a restaurant. I was so sick the rest of the evening and most of this morning. I will never go there again! read more

Don't waste your time on this one. The food was absolutely disgusting, the staff was pleasant enough but I felt sick almost as I was eating it. I ordered carne asada tacos and the meat I got wasnt even carne asada. If the food would of been good I wouldnt be bothered, but what I did get was so dry and tough, and had absolutely no flavor. Barely salt and pepper. The only thing I would say was "edible" was the nachos we had as an appetizer. My whole family felt sick the next day. DONT GO HERE. read more

We were hungry for some Mexican food and this place is a good place to sit relax and sip on a tasty margarita which we had a tamarindo it's delicious first came out the complementary chips and salsa along with frijoles which was creamy and great for dipping the chips into we had a molcajete which is a bowl made from cinder it's hot and filled with all kinds of goodness like shrimp, steak , chorizo, quest fresco, grilled onions jalapeños mushrooms and other stuff in a creamy sauce we also ordered the crispy tacos which I don't really recommend unless you can eat them quickly because hey get soggy and fall apart and also the shells are like the ones from a box and tasted a bit stale I needed more salsa but after 15 min our waitress was awol so I decided to get up and go ask for myself and whaddaya know she's at our table moving on the beans were creamy and good the rice fluffy and tasty and a chicken mole plate it away okay well after the $85 not cheap but we did enjoy the ambience and company of family still think they could be better . Happy dining and thanks for your time read more

staff extremely rude, don't want to work. no idea what customer service is avoid at all costs. read more

Food was excellent, the service was great! Couldn't have asked for a better time out!

More traditional than expected. Ordered burritos and they were open ended and covered in sauce, was not expected. Food is always good

The food is so spicy (well-seasoned) and full of flavor, delicious and hot from kitchen to your table. They have flavorful fruit smoothies and a full bar, I love their Zombie (see photos). My husband (not a huge Mexican food fan) said their salsa was the best he has ever had and the chips are freshly made and warm. Love their guacamole too. Last night we split the 3 enchilada meal (no extra charge). I had 2 enchiladas and my husband had 1 enchilada and the rice and beans. All of this for just a little over $20. When getting take-out the plates are well wrapped with foil to stay warm until you get home. The atmosphere is great and the staff are always full of smiles. We always go pretty early in the evening so it is quiet and quick, we will continue to return for the food & the service. read more

This place was awesome. Great food and great margs- our server was the best!! I love authentic Mexican food and would definitely come back.

Short review...went with friends based upon recommendation for best fajitas ever. Taking into account all restaurants have challenges due to Covid, neither the food or the service rocked our world. Had far better Mexican, especially in the greater Hillsboro area. read more

Mediocre at best. Came here for a family get together. The atmosphere seemed pretty great, receptionist/waitress was nice. We made reservations, so we got seated pretty quickly. They brought out chips and salsa but didn't bring out drinks until about 10 minutes later. Kind of disappointing. Salsa was pretty spicy for a few of my family members, so it would have been nice to have some water at least. The food here does come in huge portions! Which is great considering the prices seemed a bit steep. $15 bucks for a plate of 3 tacos, rice and beans is a little outrageous. I ordered the chile relleno and enchilada combo. It was pretty good. Enchilada had lots of chicken- which at other places it would lack. The chile relleno was good, except I felt like I only got half of the chile and more egg. It was almost like an egg omelet. Decent food but lacking in the customer service department. read more

It's very rare these days I walk into a restaurant and I see the owners and wait staff go out of there way to say hello, remember your name and face, and always make sure you're taken care of after the first time meeting you. The family who owns this restaurant are some of the kindest individuals I've seen working in a restaurant atmosphere and it's kept me coming back for years. Not mention their food is wonderful. I'll always be a loyal guest for this location of Mazatlan. I can't recommend it enough. read more

Food was decent, standard Mexican restaurant food... probably a 1 and done for me...

My wife and I love this place because they have one of the most awesome veggie burritos around! We hadn't noticed that they changed their sign in 2012 to include the words, "and Grill" until a few months into 2013. Thanks to their new grill the burrito has a ton of great grilled vegetable ingredients, packed inside along with rice and beans and such! Much better than most options available to plant-based eaters like us. On the other hand, even if you order with no sour cream and no cheese, like I do (I try to be an herbivore due to health issues), I don't believe you can really achieve vegan status due to their cooking methods, but I could be wrong. However, they know what I mean when I say "vegan style" and they do their best. And I'm not religious about it. Before my diet-based health treatment began, I used to go their pretty often just to get the mole sauce. I think you could put their mole (Mo-lay) on rocks and they'd taste good. Although I have tasted one better, this is the best in 15 miles of me. Sadly, mole is off the menu for me now. 8^( I have only had one bad plate from them before, a few years ago, they didn't take the skin off my chicken. ICK! But that's the only negative I've seen, and I go there a lot, especially since I can walk there in 15 minutes. If you're in the area and are making an effort to eat more healthfully* I recommend their veggie burrito minus dairy products. It'll fill you up and keep you full a long time, with none of the sluggish tiredness and heaviness a meat and fat laden meal will give you. And the general manager is very nice to boot! At least if you're a regular. 8^) Note: The only reason for four instead of five stars is that I am a clean freak and I like a sterling shiny polished sanitized perfect bathroom and those are rare in Cornelius. The building used to be a bank, so I think they'd need to sink some real money into it to make a perfect bathroom setup. They also need to dust up high more often, but it's not too bad. * I heartily recommend reading the book The China Study by Dr. T. Colin Campbell. It has the actual scientific medical data from the largest study on human health and nutrition in history. It demonstrates why eating a nearly exclusively plant-based diet can significantly improve your health in many many ways. If you do read it you'll understand why it was *so* wonderful for my wife and me to find this nearly vegan meal that we don't have to cook ourselves.. read more

found hair in the food and threw it up and owner was extremely rude about it there extremely Disrespectful if u want a good experience DO NOT COME HERE read more

So as much as I wanted to find a mexican restaurant that I love, this place is not it! The waitresses are highly unattentive. I have tried this place four times, and the service does no change. Each time, I have to ask for place settings (after the food arrives). They will not give or offer you water, you have to ask for it. Once your drink arrives they will not ask you if you want a refill, unless it is alcohol, then they don't leave you alone. The waitresses prep to-go plates, and table settings in one of the booths while customers are present. Any prep should be done out of sight for the customers, and you should wash your hands before doing it, the waitresses will serve the food to someone and go straight to prep again(not washing). The restaurant is very dirty, and could use a really good deep cleaning, most likely from an outside professional, especially since the staff haven't been cleaning. Also most of the lightbulbs are out, and you see a ton of burned out bulbs, and the flowing streams of cobwebs everywhere. I do have to say though that the food is tasty and hot. If they improved the service, and the cleanliness this could earn them a better rating and my continued repeat service. read more

Do not go here. Got food poisoning last night from this place and will not be coming back. Reported to the food and drug administration!!

Staff is amazing. Went there last night and the girl was on top of everything. The food is really good too (for Oregon). Can't beat the border food but so far the best mexican place I've been to out here. read more

Staff sleeping at empty tables in front. Wait was horrible for an empty place. Waiter told me "shh, dont talk." When i tried to explain to my mom carnitas and carne asada. Food was ok but with 6 restaurants within a mile radius please chose one of those ones. Couldn't pay me to come back. read more

The portions are not the largest I have seen, but they are also not the smallest. The food is not the best I have ever had, but it is also not the worst. This restaurant is average in every way except one: The omnipresent smell of bleach. On one hand, I appreciate the cleansing properties of bleach, but on the other, I dont like the smell of it wafting through the air in combnation with the plate of food in front of me. This place is for you if you dont mind the smell of bleach in the air as you eat, and you are looking for standard Mexican in Cornelius. read more
