    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!

    Bar downstairs.

    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
    Nicole B.

    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!

    I am not a dive bar person... I have several reasons stacked up as to why - I am highly allergic to…read moreHops and Pot so getting stoned and tossing cheap beers back is not for me, nor is smelling it or people doing that since... yeah thanks no. A lot of dive bar food is made with beer whether the menu says it or not and it is usually just a tragedy. I get it - drunk folks do not care what they are eating but the menu is about the same at most places. A friend wanted to attend a Shakespeare interactive play here. Since it was starting at 7pm and I live in Beaverton I was not going to have time to get over here and eat so I looked up the bar online. I was curious at the Mediterranean food but also very happy since that is not made with beer. My friend arrived before me and grabbed up perfect seats. We realized it was going to be a full house so we had better order food which was super easy to do. Can I also throw in that on their wall behind the bar they have chips you can just grab from the bartender... FRITOS, which are one of my favorite things. But thank you - just that... I was not drinking and just having soda with the show and some food but I could genuinely see having a few drinks and just grabbing one for a small snack. Our food, even with the bussel busy Friday night, came pretty fast and all the folks taking orders and serving were super friendly, wanting to help. I wanted the chicken gyro but they ran out so I gave their falafel a go - the falafel was a touch on the over mark but was still pretty delicious and I opted for a 'side' salad which I thought was strange to upcharge $3 for until it arrived and was INSANE... so huge! I got a side of onion rings too which were ridiculously good...seriously some of the best damned rings I have had and I could not stop eating them so that, my friends, was dinner... I had to take most of the gyro and salad to go. That salad ...later...I had an avocado I needed to use up at home and with their dressing. It was incredible! Amusing thing is that there is a vegan restaurant my friend had wanted to try near here and we did. Had the WORST experience and this was perfect... when we are over here this just earned itself a place as a go to spot for me. I might even drink here sometime HAHAHAHA!

    Went here . Talking to other people. And the bartender told me to stop talking . Because I did not…read moreagree with the other patrans , mind you we were having a super mellow conversation. But he said I don't want you talking about that . Ie a person who may disagree. It was crazy . Then there would not be an issue . Granted it is a private business, But this is silencing someone you don't agree with . Ie fascism. Just to update. I walked back in before leaving to ask for matches . The same bartender was again displaying bullying behavior and attacking, antithesis of customer service. He was angry and somehow had seen the review. Stated , in summery that he wasn't going to get anything for me and that I called him a fascist . I did not call him that . Or any name . To respond to criticism with venom and more bad behavior, while wondering why the bar is empty?
