I had never been before but passed by many times. I wish I had stopped sooner! I use to live close to the Yucatan in Quintana Roo and their food takes me back there. I have no complaints. I had pastor tacos and the marinade was delicious. My husband had a burrito and it was beautifully done. We will back and bringing more people in tow! WOW!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jacob Snelling · Dec 2024

Excellent food! Very nice people! The chicken tamales and chicken mole were todays specials and were awesome! My wife and daughter love the chicken enchiladas! Everything we've eaten here has been fantastic! We drive to Philomath to eat here a lot! This is our favorite mexican place in the area! Highly recommend! (Food can take a little bit but it's worth the wait.)

I just ate the fish taco special with two tacos, beans and rice. WOW! Incredible flavors! Honestly the best meal I've had all year. Great family run establishment. Food is always fresh and delicious. Daily specials. Prices are reasonable and service is quick and friendly! This place is easy to miss. It's inside the Chevron station. Find it, and eat here.

I can’t express how shocked I was by the quality of the food here. Quick, fresh and amazing flavor. Even in Portland with thousands of restaurants, you can’t find authentic food this good. Staff was so nice and made accommodations for my diet needs (veggie + dairy free)! My only issue is: now that i’ve gone back home out of town, I’m going to have major cravings for those tacos 😭
