    Carne Asada Bowl
    Linda P.

    Food truck across from the Oregon Convention Year. I ordered the carne asada bowl. It was delicious! Came with 2 toys of sauce. One was quite spicy but delicious. My only complaint was that they had Pepsi products instead of Coke. Service was fast.

    I am so happy to have found this place. The food here is so fresh and authentic that I keep coming back for more. I've ordered take out three times and plan on coming back again. They have one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. Their vegetarian options are great! Especially the mushroom and spinach quesadilla. Of course the meat option are also highly recommended. The only issue i have is that their flour tortillas are garlic or spinach flavored. There is no plain tortilla. Otherwise it wonderful. Check them out. You'll be happy you did!

    I've been coming here since they opened and it is consistently amazing! The workers are kind and the food always comes out quickly. Today we chose to eat in the car but usually we stay and eat in the restaurant. It has lots of natural light , plants & colorful decor! I love this place and whenever I am by PSU I make sure to stop by and grab a bite !!

    Mole Poblano Burrito
    Albert P.

    Stumbled upon this place while walking around Portland. When I got there, there was nobody inside which is surprising. The mole poblano burrito is a MUST try. The mole is an amazing blend of sweet, chocolately, and well spiced. You will definitely be full after eating one. It's a great deal and great flavor. Definitely check it out!

    A very solid Mexican spot, relatively new. They're pretty bustling during lunch. Not too many selections but definitely enough; they focused mainly on burritos and tacos. I enjoyed the Mole Al Pastor Burrito. Completely covered in mole, the burrito was full of meat and rice. A hefty meal but very good for the heart.

    Awesome tortillas, wonderful carnitas, but the veggie was meh.

    2nd Visit The breakfast burrito menu on the window facing the sidewalk is different than the one behind the counter. This caused some confusion and ultimately a wrong order. Furthermore, the incorrect burrito wasn't wrapped properly so all the ingredients fell out after a few bites. The premium price fish taco was a big disappointment especially because it's topped with soggy iceberg lettuce. Lastly, there were limited bottles of hotsauce for those dining there. Overall, a bad experience unlike the first. 1st Visit The tacos are a cut-above as the tortillas are homemade, you can taste the difference. The carnitas was excellent, the veggie so-so; and that latter cost more which is odd. Refried beans seem to vary from place to place, here they're not watery. Taste and texture were okay. You get an ample portion for a good price. Too bad they don't offer the Chile Relleno other than as a burrito. And it would be great if there were more taco options. The hot sauce was also better than average, the orange one packs some heat. Service was friendly and they bring you the food. No stupid QR code, kiosk menu, or bussing your own table.

    Epazote Mushroom Quesadilla and chips and salsa
    Andrew A.

    So any place I go to I usually order carne asada burrito or quesadilla but I was intrigued by the mushroom quesadilla. I have to say this worked amazingly well and was quite tasty. The service was good and the environment of the restaurant was very open and VERY CLEAN. I absolutely love this place and will definitely be going back. Also as a side note, they give you both salsas as seen in the back of the photo and just know both are spicy lol. I loved using them for my food but just be aware they have a nice kick to them.

    Great food! I used to go to the previous restaurant "Tito's" and was sad when it closed. But now I've been loving this place even more! I've had the carne Asada tacos and the bacon breakfast burrito and 10/10. My only note is the meat was a little dry in the tacos but they give you sauces and toppings that make up for it. Also the new owners + staff is super nice every time I come in, regardless what time of day it is. Also they changed the decor from the previous owners and I personally really like it!

    This is a great place for authentic Mexican cuisine. They also have excellent breakfast burritos as well. The interior is very nice and new, and there is a nice window out front to the street.

The breakfast potatoes served with this are very tasty - delightfully seasoned and perfectly cooked - crispy outside and fluffy inside. The coffee was very good. Our server, Jared B., was great; just enough interaction to be sure we had what we needed at all times, and as personable as he was efficient. Beautiful location that was spotless and comfortable.

We got here at 10am on a Monday, and every table was filled. It looked like they had numerous staff, but I would guess that the traffic level must be hard to manage. Perhaps because of this, my order of Sawmill breakfast was very poorly prepared. The gravy was luke warm at best. The eggs had the texture of frozen powdered egg that was just thawed. The biscuit was like a brick and hard to eat. I also saw numerous other patrons who were leaving their scrambled eggs untouched. The chicken tenders were warm and delicious, and the quiche was decent. Salad was probably the highlight. Besides that, I think the vibes inside the restaurant were very beautiful and memorable. Just unfortunate that the food was very sub par. I probably wouldn't recommend if you were trying to impress someone important.

    I'm going to be thinking about those Foie Gras Dumplings for quite a long time…read more All items I tried last night at Canard were creative, flavorful, well presented and reasonably priced. The garlic fries were spicy in the best way, perfectly crisp, and served steaming hot. The Duck Stack (pancakes covered with duck gravy, onions, and a duck egg) sounded a bit odd to me (and probably many others). When I asked the server if it was good, they told me that people travel to the restaurant specifically for that dish. I'm glad I tried it. Again, very unique with a well balanced spice profile paired with the delicious undertones of a hot pancake. I know I would have never thought of that, doesn't sound like it should work, but....it worked! Service was great, atmosphere was a bit loud with a band playing next door, it was a bit overwhelming, plus a random dude walked into the restaurant and a server lit his joint for him as a courtesy(?)...stunk the place up for a few minutes, but as I thought about it, I decided that was about the most "Portland" thing I had seen all week on my trip :) I'll be going back for sure, I would love to taste through that entire menu.

But when our server was with us, they were very nice and patient with my questions and requests. It's a bit loud when the place is on the full side, making it difficult to have a conversation. I wouldn't bring my girlfriend who is hard of hearing, at least with a group. I'd be curious to try more of the menu. I was very much not wowed by the breakfast. The beverages were however very nice, and I recently had the cobbler dessert and it looked amazing and tasted better. We had the coffee (Extracto, love.), I had a really good hef and my mother a very well balanced Bellini that I was very pleasantly surprised with trying. From what I saw, the lunch sounds very good and I'd be more apt to recommend folks give that a shot if they happened to be going there too. I'm not sure if I'd recommend as a must go stop. Vibe wise, the ambience is overall really nice. I think having rolled flatware, even with just upgraded napkins, would better complete the aesthetic you initially see and feel. This would also connect with the price point of the food and quality of the beverages. As a fellow server, on that note I would expect more consistent stronger visual appearance standards with servers. (Sorry guys! But some of you looked great!) Overall, I'd definitely join a friend for coffee and lunch over there in the future. Just wouldn't be my top pick for a celebratory brunch or intimate dinner with a date or friends and fam.
