    What's that sauce they squirted all over my ceviche?
    susie K.

    Met some friends here for food and drinks on a Tuesday night. Our plan was to sit out on their rooftop, but it was a little too chilly. We chose to sit upstairs - - service was slow - - thinking maybe they forgot about us ‍ Menu is pretty big. We started with giant classic margaritas and basic chips and salsa. I decided on the ceviche - - a huge platter of it. It was pretty tasty, except for the sauce they squirted on it. My friends didn't really enjoy their dishes - - Camarones a la diabla and the fajitas - - and instead helped me finish mine. FYI - - they sprinkle cheese on their guacamole. Why?? It's street parking which can be pretty difficult around there.

    Landed from CA and came straight here as a meeting point for all our gals as we were here to celebrate a Bachelorette. I got here an hour early as they were still flying in and it was empty on a friday afternoon. Parking was easy and the place was so pretty. The interior was so nice to look at and I fell in love with the upstairs patio area. the music was loud but bearable and the place was clean. Service was great and our waitress was really nice and attentive! Once everyone arrived we were all raving over the chips and salsa it was 10/10. It wasn't until we ordered our food that things went a little sideways. I learned this day that TikTok can be a trap. I ordered the Green Chilaquiles and another girl did too but red, another ordered birria tacos and asada nachos. The chilaquiles are made from cheap chips and the salsa on both was nasty. The girl that ordered the birria tacos got an instant stomach ache and the only thing that was decent was the Asada Nachos. We were all so underwhelmed and the only good thing we had to say was that the place was nice but the food was a NO. Ill finish this off by saying that a few hours later I came down with food poisining and it was the only food I had that day :(

    Great music and vibe! I enjoyed a spicy margarita and vegan fajitas. The server was attentive and when I was unsure of what to ordered he let me taste the mole sauce to see if would like it. I did not because i don't like my mole sauce sweet I prefer Michuacan style mole. It's sexy vibe

    Let's start off by saying, my mezcal margarita was delicious. My chips and salsa were great. Our server was also very friendly and kept checking in with us. I ordered chile relleno with rice and beans, my wife got the trio of enchiladas. My rice was bland, didnt have any flavor, beans were literally just warm and sprinkled with cheese. No flavor whatsoever. My chile was acceptable, but the cheese was not melted at all. My wife didnt care for her food either, it looked great, but zero flavor. Definitely pass. All im gonna say is, how can you mess up pinto beans at a Mexican restauran?

    SO DELICIOUS! Delightful people working there as a great team! It felt like everyone was writing together. The property is beautiful and has garage doors to open during the summer and a rooftop bar! Complimentary chips and salsa, the chips were warm and fresh! About an hour from where we live on the south side of Tigard but absolutely worth the trip!

    Found while driving by last night while in town. Decided to take family here today. They took reservations for our party of 8 which was great and allow kids. Service was awesome, very friendly and quick and accommodating. The salsa was amazing. Cocktail drinks were great and beer was ice cold on a meat 100 degree day. Sat up top inside with garage door up by roof top, even in the near 100 degree weather, still felt cool inside with a slight breeze coming in. Restaurant is super nice downstairs and upstairs. Upstairs has its own bar as well. Tons of seating. Food was great too. I am picky, I wouldn't say the best, but I would for sure be back to eat again. We all liked it.

    Fantastic addition to the neighborhood, great place to watch a game, delicious food, good cocktails! I don't know a better and more festive place to watch a sports game on Division than here. Very kind staff. We will be back!

    Camarones zarandeados

    Slow service, food lacks flavor. Ordered the camarones zarandeados and it was not what I was expecting :( The shrimp tasted old and were not the standard style for this dish, they were not butterflied, not grilled in sauce, and the whole shell was still on. It looked like they just threw the whole shrimp into a pan and cooked it with Lawry's seasoned salt. Very disappointed, will not be coming back sadly. probably a cool bar tho and they reimbursed me so I would say service was definitely nice!!

    Very quick service. food was delicious! so clean and nice inside! staff were super friendly and nice

    Omelette

    The food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance was 10/10 I stopped by with friends as we're visiting Oregon and let's just say the food was amazing! Everything tasted so authentic and very fresh. I'll definitely be coming back again when revisiting Oregon-- this might just be my new go-to spot to eat.

    Molcajete, and vegetarian option.
    Chae K.

    Perfect spot for a few drinks and a great meal! The views are beautiful, and the food was delicious. I really appreciated the vegetarian options, and my meat-eating friends were equally satisfied with their dishes. Highly recommend if you're looking for good food, good drinks, and a nice atmospher

    Carnitas fajitas
    Leticia P.

    Loved this place. I'm in from out of town and found this great place. Both our dishes were delicious! And they have a full bar. I had the cantarito. Highly recommend. Great for large groups and families.

    Enchiladas

    Food was amazing, rooftop had a great vibe, and the staff were super nice. Good spot to hang out and grab a drink & delicious mexican food! My boyfriend had the birria burrito which he said is one of the best burritos he's had in Portland. I had the enchiladas which were also great!

Chicken Fajitas were good but, it's a different taste from other places I've had it (my love enjoyed it he said it had a very authentic flavor). Rice (fluffy) and Beans (well seasoned) both were really delicious. Service~Pearlina was super sweet, knew the menu very well and, had exceptional service. She made sure we had everything we needed and, continue to check on us throughout our meal. Ambiance~It's has a very calming vibe and atmosphere. I love the fact they have a privacy strip on the windows (so no one walking by watches you eat). It's a family owned restaurant and, I would recommend giving them a try. I feel what we ordered was worth it but, everything (except water) has a charge. Only street parking and, lots of indoor/outdoor seating.

Both the fish and the prawns were cooked in a red sauce that was delicious! I meant to ask for blue corn tortillas but was so excited to find shrimp & fish tacos that weren't deep-fried that I forgot to ask for them. The regular corn tortillas were excellent, though, so it was not a bad mistake to make. I also had jamaica to drink and let me tell you... it was not made from a mix! It was dark, thirst-quenching, and perfectly made. Most jamaica is super sweet - this was not! I love the flavor of real hibiscus and this did not disappoint. My friends had chile relleno bowls and birria tacos, all of which was excellent. Their watermelon margaritas were tasty and refreshing! Our orders were taken by a helpful person at the cash register and the food was served quickly by a friendly server. The inside and outside areas were clean and tidy, with plenty of seating available at the outside tables. The outdoor seating area is under cover making it a good choice for both summer & winter dining. Definitely going on my "have to go back and try something else" list!

Such a small detail that makes a big difference. The Citrus Salad was super fresh, crisp, and delicious, which balanced everything out perfectly. I also tried the NA classic margarita and it was so refreshing. I loved the subtle touch of orange juice. Overall, such a lovely spot with amazing food, great vibes, and thoughtful details. I will definitely be back!

I tried their course menu, and every dish was presented with such care and beauty.

We decided to do the $45 lunch deal where we let them feed us and basically got a 10 course lunch (totally worth it)! Since we tried so many things, some courses were a miss and some were a big hit. It was really fun! Some of my favorites were the arroz con frijoles, yes the rice and beans! They are so flavorful and served with house made tortillas. I think my favorite thing was the tostada topped with white beans, cabbage, and roasted corn - insane! I also loved the Huarache with adobo squash and I'm not normally into smokey things, but everything just worked together. I wasn't the biggest fan of one of the moles we were served, but there was a sweeter one that was paired with eggplant that I couldn't stop eating. We ended the meal with 2 desserts and 1 came with a candle for our friend, which is always such a lovely gesture. The fried concha was incredible!! GET IT! Ours had ground cherries and a lime whipped cream and I would come back just for that. This is definitely a spot that's worth the tasting menu! There are so many flavors to explore you will want to try everything!

Staff was welcoming, friendly, helpful and attentive. I read reviews about their complimentary chips, salsa and bean dip. We asked for the bean dip, but we found out when we received our bill that it's not complimentary anymore. Bummer. It was good, but not worth the extra $5. They were extremely generous with their chips and salsa, so in the end we were okay paying the extra $5. We ordered the chicken quesadilla and charbroiled burger. Both were great! Fresh ingredients.
