    Taco salad
    Bob 5.

    So far, I've only gone for taco Tuesdays and the tacos were OK and the chili Anna was really good so I'll probably be back because the prices were excellent. I couldn't believe how reasonable they were like two dollar tacos and the chile relleno was like 5 bucks I haven't tried any of their actual dinner dishes but the place did smell quite amazing and the prices definitely right so go check them out

    Taco Tuesday's are our families favorite! I always get the veggie tacos, which are amazing! We also get chicken, BBQ pork, and steak tacos which are all equally delicious! The 2 gals that wait on people on Tuesday's are so sweet and kind to my messy children!

    The good tacos

    The food was amazing! The service was very nice and respectful! The ambiance aka the looks was alright. There was paintings it was really beautiful... but food would be a a solid 6/10 service 8/10 and looks 5/10 but over all probably 7/10

    Great place for Mexican, the staff is friendly. Taco Tuesday is our favorite we go at least one a month. The avocado green sauce is spicy and delicious. The salsa bar is a awesome accommodation. You can see right into the kitchen and the cooks appear clean and happy. It's really busy on Tuesday nights due to .99 tacos so I recommend going before dinner rush.

    My bf and I visit Molalla regularly because it's the closest skydive drop-zone to PDX. This is our fav restaurant in the area. They have complimentary, unlimited chips, salsa, and self-serve toppings such as pico, pickled vegetables, other fun sauces. Their meal portions are huge, tasty, and affordable. *Plus their employees are Spanish-speaking. Legit. I couldn't ask for more from a Mexican restaurant. My fav dish is the Fajitas Mixtas. This is a great spot for vey hungry people. Also, they have catering!

    I picked up some sausage breakfast burritos for the family today and they were a hit! Although my dad said he would prefer the bacon one (my bad) you can't beat the price! $3.99 for a large burrito that my mom couldn't even finish. So yummy, and my new go to place in town for a breakfast burrito since the bowling alley went out of business

    Food was great. Probably some of the best Mexican food you can find in the area. I got 2 Lengua tacos and 2 Asada. Left my plate clean.

    Food is great but wasn't crazy about the dining area. Found a fly in the salsa. They need to cover their salsa station.

    This was our first visit after hearing about this restaurant for quite some time, and it truly…read moreexceeded our expectations--it's a hidden gem. The interior is spacious, clean, and comfortable. We were seated in a booth and promptly welcomed with complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were warm, and the beans served alongside them were as well. Shortly after being seated, our server greeted us and informed us of the Friday evening drink specials. To start, we ordered a couple of house margaritas and the grilled octopus, both of which were excellent. The menu offers a wide variety of options, so we asked for a recommendation. Our server suggested the Molcajete Mexicano, which turned out to be a standout dish--rich in flavor and generously portioned (photo attached for reference). Overall, the pricing was reasonable for dining out, and the service was attentive and efficient. We arrived with modest expectations but were thoroughly impressed by both the food and the service. We look forward to returning to try more items on the menu.

The third time, most likely the last for us.., I order the same drink again, got the wrong drink again asked to get the one I ordered. I was told they don't make it. It was a simple drink. Chambord, vodka and cranberry juice. Also why is it on the menu if you don't make it, also why did I get it last time. The server was nice but that whole debacle turned me off from coming back.
