Quick drive thru with outdoor seating only. Got the Miga and Egg plate. It was a large portion and delicious.

This is a mostly a drive through place with a few outdoor tables and parking spaces. The food is exceptional! It’s the best texmex I have had in 15 years. And yes, I have been looking for that long. I have personally tried the enchiladas (beef and chicken) quesadillas, and street tacos. All were delicious, flavorful, and truly traditional texmex. The rice is moist and seasoned perfectly. The refried beans are bursting with flavor and not greasy. I’m still exploring the extensive menu but I’ve yet to be disappointed with a thing. The food is always good, hot, there’s plenty of it and it’s ready for travel.

Very big variety of lunch and breakfast here. Absolutely love the cinnamon coffee it's one of my favorites. The serving size that you get with the plates is just amazing for the price. Only negative thing I can say is more seasoning is needed in the food. But will definitely continue going back.

I love it here come weekly but I just went this morning was occupied so didn’t fully pay attention till I was down the road. I gave them 20 & total was 11 & some change tell me why I only got 2 dollars & some change back, he also didn’t give me a receipt. I always pay cash & have never had an issue but this was a different guy that checked me out he was wearing a hat & I checked out on the side next to the house. Anyways I guess it’s my gift to yall! Merry Christmas!

Mexican food in Portland is a joke. I'm sorry but first if all no homemade tortillas... No thank you. And Portland must have the same recipe on their beans because it's all the same. Not for me. It's just the food that needs work
