Most authentic Mexican food I have found in Portland. I spent many years traveling around central to southern (Yucatan) Mexico. They have it nailed.

My husband and I had the most flavorful and delicious lunch ever. I had the pork burrito with red mole sauce and sour cream, and I fell in love. It was the best burrito I have ever eaten. My husband had the sesame seed bun pork sandwich, and he really enjoyed it. The Mexican Cokes was the top. Fresh, not flat, and very flavorful. The service was fantastic. The restaurant was very clean, including the restrooms. Thank you so much for allowing us to enter your establishment and have an awesome lunch. We will be back!!!!!!!

Excellent amazing above and beyond expectations! The tamale boy truck catered and event at "Braces by Dr Joe and Dr Rensch" and the food was fantastic. Everything from the homemade tamales to the side dishes were delicious. The crew was friendly helpful and easy to work with. 5 stars! Patty
