    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.

    The Fajitas Mixta!

    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!

    Ants crawling on the table and in the sugar! Salsa had no flavor. The carne asada was ok but again lacking in flavor. Will not be back.

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.

A nice waitress came by soon after and delivered water, chips, salsa and refried beans with veggies slaw. I took advantage of happy hours and order a couple small plates. Hard shell beef tacos and coconut shrimp. Both were excellent. I will definitely come back to try more of their extensive menu.
