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.)

The servers here are very punctual. This Yucatan style of Mexican food is a nice change up from most typical Mexican restaurants. Not too dissimilar, but enough that it's a unique, delicious experience. The hot sauce here is actually hot! I love it. Its my go-to burrito pickup spot.

We’ve enjoyed this establishment a few times now, and we are always blown away by how fresh and delicious their food is. From the herbs to the proteins, it is AMAZING! Please give them a try, you won’t be disappointed. I had the enchilada plate, my husband had chicken tacos, and our daughter had a chicken and cheese quesadilla and all of them were perfect. Service is fast and friendly for how fresh and tasty it is. We will keep coming back 🙂

This place is a hidden gem! It's got great prices AND amazing food! Everything is super fresh and a well made. I recommend anything labeled cochinita pibil! I went here two days in a row to try to soup too! The turkey soup is yummy and delicate; especially good if you are having tummy troubles. Go here!

Best cochinita pibil in the area for sure. Everything I've tried is delicious, burrito chile colorado, panuchos, suadero tacos, or any of their lunch burritos. The daily specials have always been incredible also.

Super friendly staff, and a family run business I am always happy to support.

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 😭

Husband and wife operation. Always quality and a good quantity of food and they are always friendly. This place is tucked in a corner of a gas station on Main Street and is a hidden gem in this area.
