Consistently good, I get the carnitas burrito and it's always on point, more people should come to Mulino for this place because it a hidden gem read more

Very good, mostly authentic, Mexican food. Only one waitress who became very busy after we ordered. My wife loved the chili relleno. I had a taco and enchilada combination lunch which was quite good. Only downside was the Mexican rice was pretty bland and their prices are a little above average. We will definitely return on one of our next visits to Mollala. read more

Super great food!!! Came for taco tuesday (99 cent tacos) and got the carnitas and chicken and they were amazing!!! We'll definitely be coming back again, the rest of the menu has great prices and the food is super authentic. The service was great too!! Everyone was very nice there. Not a huge restaurant so not best for a huge group of people but it looked like they had one big table and they could probably put some tables together. read more

Such nice staff. Busy at times but usually quick service. Not fancy at all but if you're in the mood for street tacos or basic Mexican food this place has you covered. Great selection of different homemade salsas and such out. Taco Tuesday is a pretty good deal. Thanks! read more

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.

Just passing through town after spending all day hiking at Silver Falls State Park. Had the steak and pastor tacos. Both were delicious and cheap! Definitely recommend a side of their pico de gallo too! read more

After having bad time at Jasper's, decided to try this place and what was the big deal. People were saying and telling me this was great and that I would like it. It's ok, not the best. We had Tacos and Menudo, only thing I say is "I can do better, sorry." read more

It's the only Mexican in town, and they have horchata. Super sweet small town vibe. Oh just a tip:skip nachos and go straight to the fry nachos read more

This place is about 25 miles north of my place but is my GO TO every Taco Tuesday due the un-paralleled prices. I had 6 carne asada tacos, 2 glasses of horchata, chips, guac and salsa for $11!!! The service is fast and reliable and the place is covered in windows. Can't be beat! read more

I eat here almost every day as I am retired and hate my own cooking...LOL Original Mexican, and some American too. I love their chile relleno and their " Beef and Chicken Quesadillas" too, excellent service and they also make good hamburgers. read more

No Torta bread for a lunch? Huh? No Lingua? Huh? I've eaten here 3 times, once for lunch, when they actually had Torta bread AND Lingua, but once again when I've called to place an order to go for lunch, I get "sorry, no torta and no lingua today"....... The two times I've eaten supper, the food is mediocre at best. Service is good, but go to the Mexican food cart in Molalla, which is owned by the same guy, for way better food, Tortas, AND Lingua...... read more

The Fish tacos and chorizo were fantastic. Great place to grab an authentic lunch! They also own a truck in the are to get the same great food! read more

Eat here often. Prices are good and the food is pretty good and you do get a lot for your money. I always get take out and is ready in 10 minutes from the time I call. The tacos and burritos are my favorites. Frindly staff. read more

Great tortas. Very friendly service. On point green sauce. Looking forward to getting here before 11:30 next time to try the breakfast burrito. read more

Went on Sunday around noon. Portions for the food was better than average, but the quality was below average. There are free chips just like other Mexican restaurants, but in addition to this you can go get extra sauce and other stuff like diced tomatoes, etc. read more

Yum yum yum Taco Tuesday... Who doesn't love Taco Tuesday?! Chicken is by far the best. Their service and speed is also great!

Wow!! A gem in an unexpected place. Fantastic food, very nice staff and even walls covered in original art work. For every reason and more we were very pleased to find this place. We were driving along, heading to silver falls state park and saw this brightly painted Mexican restaurant. Not exactly in the middle of nowhere...but close! :) We ordered shrimp quesadilla, fish taco and a burrito. All were excellent. The fish taco was--and I'm not exaggerating --the best I've ever had...and fish tacos are the standard I always order, to compare. The waitress was so nice. Pilots note: this restaurant is right next to Mulino State Airport...you can park your airplane and walk to the restaurant. That's my next trip down! read more

I love Mexican food and this place is one one of the best! I love coming here with my son, he too loves it.

probably the local of non-hispanic origin are their best customers. although most of the dishes are certainly authentic, the food is tasteless. soggy chimichangas and the so called cevichi tacos had close to zero shrimp: I couldn't find but literally 3 - 1/2" pieces of shrimp, it was an an onion and tomato topping. I was so angry when I returned home for this anticipated meal. Gringos....knock your selves out! read more

Love their food. Prices fair. Great American dishes too!!! Great experience overall!! Very traditional food.

Stopped for lunch on my way back to Portland. Everything was delicious and the service was great! I'm happy to have a solid taco option when I'm in Mulino. read more

Nice local Mexican restaurant. Good chips and salsa. Friendly staff. Food is tasty and fresh. Prices are good. Gong to try taco Tuesday's next. We've had lunch and dinner here now and enjoyed both times. read more

Very nice, authentic meal. Loved the street tacos and super burrito! clean and fast service. Noticed many take out orders being filled. I will definitely return! read more

New restaurant in town so as everyone does we go try it out. Bad idea. The place was moderately busy with about 5 tables taken and a few people waiting at the door for to go orders. The sign when you walk in the door says order here with a cash register underneath it. A lady that was working the front counter sat us at a table, handed us menus, and walked away. 15 minutes later we were still sitting there with the menus. I walked up to the front counter and asked if we ordered here and she said no at the table. She followed us to the table took our food and drink order and walked away. As we were waiting for our food, the table next to us ordered a small appetizer of taquitos and a nacho. Their food order came to the table which was incorrect and they never got said small appetizers. They were not apologetic and did nothing to make their orders correct. Now on to our food when it finally arrived. We ordered the fajita special (their sign outside said fagita special) and the child had a cheese quesadilla. Fajitas usually come with a wrap to put the meat and veggies in and this did not. I asked the waitress about it and she knew nothing about a wrap that would go with it and said we were thinking of enchiladas which we were not. Tomatoes are usually not on fajitas and these had huge chunks of tomatoes. The beans and rice were of normal canned quality and the food was just alright. The child's quesadilla was nothing special and usually they are just simple and easy to prepare as it is. The service wasn't the best and it didn't appear that customers came first. I don't foresee this restaurant holding up in this small town for very long. We won't be coming back and I won't recommend it to anyone. One star because I can't leave zero. read more
