    Quint little restaurant. Easy to spot from main street, in a small strip with street parking. Serves street tacos, quesadillas, chips n salsa or guacamole and a few other items. Serves cocktails: drinks were very good. Limited on the menu. Expensive for what it's worth.

    This place is awesome. It’s small but honestly with how good the food, drinks, and staff are the amount of business they could do is maybe 2x or 3x. The staff is always super friendly, the space is intimate, and the food is awesome. They have rotating food specials which never disappoint, the cocktails are always straightforward, and the staff is overly friendly even though they deal with some tight space constraints. Anytime we go through Lake Oswego we try to stop in here.

    The tacos were great! However, our server was completely ambivalent. Took our order promptly, with absolutely no expression. The tacos came out quickly, and even though we ordered four, for two of us, they all came in the same basket. Yes, just a basket. No silverware, no napkins, no plates. It would’ve been nice to see some kind of expression from any of the staff. The cocktails were small, and not worth the $11. Overall, even though the food was good, I don’t think I’ll go back because I didn’t feel welcomed or appreciated as a customer.

    Cute little Mexican Cafe... They serve steet tacos and quesadillas. as well as salsa & Chips and guacamole (homemade guacamole) They have a different approach of ordering here. they give you a clipboard and you put check marks of how many items you would like. you do the same when you order your drinks.. the bartender makes a great margarita. They have only been open a short time but I would definitely give them a shot if you're into the authentic Street taco and guacamole

    Great food! Went on opening night and was not disappointed. The pork tacos are the best I've ever had. The inside is tight and vibrant. I will be returning again soon.

    Absolutely terrible service with a bad attitude thrown in for good measure. We waited there in the restaurant for take out : 3 tacos and one quesadilla. After waiting nearly half an hour we flagged the server who said it would be “a while yet “ , so we ordered 2 Club Sodas to sip while we waited. Another half an hour passed, no food and no Club Soda. We asked the server about the drinks, and she said that “the bartender was busy”; we asked again about our food & she said she had no way of knowing how long it would be because she”doesn’t work in the kitchen”. Tho she did seem to go into the kitchen every few minutes to get orders. 40 minutes to get a Club Soda & over an hour to get a few tacos to go. Grossly understaffed for a Friday night. Definitely never going back. Food was ok but not worth the wait or the poor & rude service

    Nice location but small. They do have a few table outside too. Both has steel chairs that were not the most comfortable. Higher priced food/drinks, but good taste on both.

    Excellent service, amazing food, my favorite tequila (Herradura) - highly recommend!

    The food here was incredible! The place was very busy for a Friday & I think they were short staffed. However they let us know the wait might be longer than normal and we had amazing service. We got our food near closing time and they didn't rush us or pressure us to hurry. We will definitely return. Returned, it was just as good

    Our first time visit and won't be the last as the food was great and the the price was reasonable. We got the chips, salsa and guac to start and my wife got the quesadilla, I got the al pastor taco and a chorizo taco and we split an empanada which was not on the menu but I asked for it as I saw it on another diner's table. Overall it was very good and will definitely go again. It's a small place and service was a little slow that night as the lady running the place was there helping out from another restaurant. Likely someone couldn't make it in that evening but none the less the food was really good.

    Never have I been here, surprised to find it a very small establishment. Quaint and casual, very limited menu. Charge for chips and salsa, good Verde and Rojo sauces, no silver ware, margaritas a little to limey. "Street tacos" OK....not my favorite Mexican restaurant... but I'm hard to please.

    Nice little place with a limited menu but everything is gluten free and very tasty! The carnitas and carne asada tacos were great! Excellent service and margaritas too!

  • 3/5 J B. 1 year ago on Google
    Foods great, drinks are excellent, atmosphere is decent but what is the deal with the hours of this place?!?! Who wants to place their dinner order at 7:30pm and have the staff start closing down the place when your food is arriving at your table? On a Friday & Saturday night no less.

  • 5/5 Morgan Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Seriously the best Mexican food I've ever had. 10/10. We ordered the plantains, guacamole, fried jalapenos, al pastor tacos and carne asada tacos. We were scraping our plates. It was all wonderfully seasoned, so flavorful, just excellent. We'll be back for sure! She also made us two very tasty mocktails when we mentioned not drinking. I wish I would've taken pictures, but I couldn't wait to eat.

    On my second trip here, this tiny place was busy and understaffed. I don’t fault restaurants for this, esp. in view of staffing shortages everywhere. I ordered food to go and a cocktail while I waited. Crowded inside, I moved to one of 2 tables outside and waited for my drink to arrive. And waited. And waited. Twenty seven minutes later, no drink. I inquire inside to find food bagged and waiting, cocktail next to bags. I ask waitress how long my stuff has been ready—10 minutes. What gives? The waitress says, you left. Nope. Never brought my drink, food got cold. So I spent in Lake Oswego three times what I’d be charged for far superior Mexican street food in Los Angeles. The tacos are smaller and sadder. And salsa for the to-go crowd is $1 per thimble-sized plastic container, which I guess rich, white Oregon finds acceptable. Have at it, I’m done with this imposter.
