Reviews
"We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this Mexican restaurant. The menu is extensive, featuring a long list of daily specials. Upon entering, you place your order at the counter, and there's seating available at both the bar and tables. We chose seats at the bar, where the bartender was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Although we encountered a minor setback with the fried yucca balls being cold on the inside (leading to the 4 ⭐️ rating), the overall experience was great. We also tried the fried chicken quesadilla, which came in a generous portion. The grilled steak quesadilla, though much smaller, was equally delightful. Both were accompanied by chips and pico de gallo salsa. We highly recommend trying the chimichurri aioli – a perfect complement to the quesadilla. Despite the minor hiccup, we look forward to returning to explore more items on the menu!"
"Love the downtown Portland location!! Scarborough location is great too, but the downtown one has a cute bar, great staff and amazing outdoor patio. We had an early lunch with our Two picky eater kids and they devoured the kids rice, beans and cheese burrito (perfect size) and chips and quac. I had the fiesta salad with pork (YUM) and my husband had a gluten free special bowl. Everyone’s meal was great!"
"Really good atmosphere and food, cannot accommodate for allergies like tomato, avocado, or things like that because they "can't guarantee it won't be cross contaminated". Overall pretty good place to stop for informal meal."
"In the "very good" bracket, steak burrito and grilled chicken quesadilla. Burrito could have used a bit more protein to make it five star. Friendly counter staff, will go back"
"I got the pollo bowl and was unimpressed. For $15 dollar there needs to be something significant to make it worth the extra $5 compared to a similar bowl at Chipotle. Unfortunately, the only positive was the side of hot sauce you can get, which has a tasty tangy flavor. Other than that it really wasn't that good. Chicken was dry and lacking flavor. Barely any cheese or sour cream. It was less filling as well. I hate to say it, but it didn't pass the chipotle unit of measurement, which isn't difficult to surpass. However, the atmosphere is nice and the staff was very friendly."
