El Ranchito Alegre,

8349 Southwest Tonka Street, Tualatin, OR 97062

"Family of 5 seated and forgotten about. No one even looked our way after bringing us menus & chips. I understand short staffing, but other tables that came in behind us were helped before us. After 30 minutes of not even a drink order, we left. Very disappointing."

"Had the Birria en Caldo from El Ranchito Alegre today for lunch and it was ON POINT. The consome is authentically and richly seasoned and the chunks of meat were huge with a good ratio of meat to fat and bones. There’s nothing better for your soul than a slow-cooked consome. The homemade tortillas and salsas are also delicious. I can’t wait to try everything!"

"The Portland metro area had a lot of places that have Mexican fusion type good which is good, but the places that market themselves as a authentic Mexican food restaurant always fall short on flavor. This place has the authentic flavor I have been craving since I moved up to Oregon. I was going to give 4 stars because there were fatty bits in my burrito, but honestly the flavors outweigh that small con. I will pay more for better meat and if you had a +$4 for non fatty beef option, then I would gladly pay that difference. The prices here are competitive to other Mexican restaurants in the area. If you go here, check out the market that connects to it!"

"Legit, authentic, Mexican food. I had the chicharrones y carne asada and it was amazing. Will definitely go back next time I'm in town."

"This place is it for Mexican food, well at least in Tualatin and in what I’ve explored in Portland. How do I know, the birria! That’s how. It takes great skill to make a good birria and this place makes an incredible birria. Hands downs. Speaking of, the hand made tortillas are the size of your face and delicious."
