Went to Don asado's again and they still got it. The chipotle Al pastor burrito is absolutely perfect with just enough chipotle sauce with a decent but not overpowering kick and a nice blend of rice, al pastor, pineapples and pico. The pickup is always quick and friendly and the vibes of the restaurant are immaculate. I was actually bummed when the staff didn't give me an option to tip since it was pickup as this is one of the handful of restaurants I actually want to tip. I'll bring cash next time. read more

We ended up here by accident and it was one of the best dining mistakes I've ever made! It is truly fair to say that I just had the most delicious Mexican meal of my life! I cannot confirm with 100% confidence, but I will bet you money (and I am no bettin' man) that they prepared the guacamole for our guac' and chips immediately after we ordered it. It was so fresh and delicious and delightful that it cannot possibly have been scooped out of a pan of guac made earlier that morning! And - we heard a lot of chopping immediately after we ordered it. So that settles it. TL;DR it was the best guac I've ever had. Ever! I also ordered the Chicken Enchiladas and had no idea what was about to be presented to me. Again - the most delightful, most delicious batch of chicken enchiladas I've ever had! The chicken was spectacularly grilled and presented inside a large, flat, scrumptious corn tortilla. Even the rice and beans were fresh and delicious! Far, far above the common experience. If I had any complaint it was simply that the portion size was too large for me to consume in one sitting and the price was too cheap to adequately reward the folks who worked so hard to produce such a delicious meal ;) The space is a bit small but they also have a nice outdoor patio. So get out of your house and get down here! They have a small but dedicated crew so bring your patience with you. You'll be greatly rewarded! Places like this are what keep me a Foodie. It's so exciting to find unassuming places like this that deliver such Joy and Excellence! Gracias! :) read more

I can't even believe I'm sharing this little gem, but I also know how important it is to support local! We went here for the first time about a year ago. First time we ordered simple stuff (burrito & quesadilla); weren't exactly sure what to expect. No complaints, pretty good Mexican food...so my fiancé wanted to go back and try the Al pastor tacos quickly after. We went back one week later and got the 15 al pastor tacos this time. Slightly embarrassed to admit this but ever since then, we've almost ordered 15 Al pastor tacos once a week because they're incredible and so delicious. The hot sauce is delicious, the homemade tortillas are delicious, the pork & pineapple are delicious, the caramelized onions are delicious, the homemade chips are delicious, the salsa is delicious. Noticing a pattern? I'll probably order these tonight because my mouth is now watering and well, they're delicious. read more

The husband and I were trying to decide what to eat for dinner and wanted to try some place new. So we stopped in to Don Asado for a quick date night. The staff was very friendly and the place is pretty cozy. The menu is a little limited compared to most Mexican restaurants but what they have they do well! I was excited to see Chilaquiles on the menu so I ordered that with chicken and my husband opted for his usual carne asada burrito with guacamole. We decided to get some margaritas to round things out; I got the coconut/pineapple margarita and my husband got a lime. The only thing missing was dessert which they don't offer, because I love ending a Mexican meal with flan. read more

I'll go on record that the guacamole is top notch, fresh and chunky with the perfect amount of saltiness. The beans and rice were so rich and savory as well.

Ok some of the best tacos Ive had in quite some time. There is no option to order just 1 street tacos, but rather bundles of 4 to 5 of varying meat combos. No carnitas the day I was there but I tried 2 chicken and 2 pastor tacos and they were packed full of moist and juicy marinated meat with great char, flavors, not too oily, not too much excess fat, and each taco had enough meat for essentially 2 tacos. Good thing each taco came with 2 tortillas... So yes, I ordered 4 tacos but essentially had 8 and it was delicious. read more

This place is off a small street and hard to find. The venue is small with limited parking and seats. The service is slow. Also, this place does not give out free chips and salsa. The food and drinks are wonderful. I ordered a pina colada and it was one of the best I have ever had. One my first visit, I got the chilli relleno and chicken enchilada. Both were loaded with flavor and wonderful. On my second visit, I ordered the fish burrito. The burrito did not have a lot of flavor but it was filled with fish.

Amazing al pastor around this area!! I really enjoyed it. I've eaten almost around Beaverton & Aloha area and this is by far my favorite spot for al pastor. The ratio of meat, pineapple, and the seasoning was just perfect. Not overly oily either. It had a really nice char to it as well. I also got the shrimp fajita burrito and wow!! That was also delicious. Shrimp in every bite. Had rice and beans inside but it didn't feel heavy at all. I'd order that again. Looking forward to trying all the other items on the menu. Salsa was mild and complimented everything well. Service was fast and friendly. I'll be visiting more often read more

I read most of the recent reviews and in keeping with my Mexican food craving of late decided to check this place out. I'm so glad we did! From the outside of the building it may not look like much and the parking lot is a bit small but don't judge the book by it's cover. I am a lover of shrimp and had to try the shrimp tacos and these were amazing. The shrimp aren't small and the tacos are stuffed. The flavors with the onion and peppers are a perfect blend. We also tried the Al Pastor enchiladas and it's probably the best I have had and the enchiladas are bigger than most, like the size of a medium burrito. Everything is made in house and fresh and it definitely shows in the taste and quality. This is not the run of the mill Mexican restaurant. The owner is very nice and chatted with us and made sure everything was to our liking. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. Next time I will definitely have to try a margarita. We will definitely be back and do recommend. read more

I'm a 6'2" 215 lbs. man and I felt that I shouldn't have eaten the whole thing, BUT I DID! - Horchata: ($6.2): You'll taste the rice and the cinnamon, like the one Abüelitas in Mexico make. - House Made Flan ($6.99): You'll taste the egg in this flan. I can hear the chef yelling to the cooks in the kitchen when they're making this: "¡Con huevos!" - Café de Olla: ($6.20): AUTHENTIC MEXICAN Coffee! This is not a novelty you find on Instagram where lattes are poured on pastries, no. This is THE REAL DEAL. AMBIANCE We sat outside, the weather calls for it. Simple wooden picnic tables to enjoy the weather, not much needed. It was a difficult decision because inside the decor is BEAUTIFUL. - Outside: About 6 picnic tables sitting 6 people each. - Inside: About 6 or 7 tables for 2, and 3 booths for 6 and 4 tables for 4 people. - Parking: On the street and a small parking lot for about 5 vehicles. CLOSING THOUGHTS This business is doing everything right by representing Mexican culture. They're not adding American cheese just for the sake of catering to a certain demographic. They're hiring people who can speak Spanish from Mexico to provide a great service and experience. You can see the LOVE that the owner(s) are pouring into this business, if you see their taco trucks (I saw 2 parked in their parking lot) or need catering, do yourself a favor and try them.

Visited on a Friday evening around 6PM. The enchiladas were delicious! The sauce had a hint of…read moresweetness that was quite flavorful. No fountain sodas, can sodas, or bottles. Our server was very slow in bringing our first (maybe 5-10 min) and second (maybe 10-15 min) round of drinks. A younger man stopped by our table several times asking what we needed, but failed to bring anything. The server seemed unaware that he was also asking for our orders. Overall, the food was good, the service wasn't.

As close to a food truck as you can get --- there's room for like 6 people inside --- but the kitchen delivers. Our fajita burrito was dang big, nicely seasoned and piping hot - they make it right out on the grill in front . (Pro tip- sit inside by the window to watch the cook outside at work - very cool). Small menu, and the "fajita-style" naming is odd, as it was more like ground chicken than fajita-style pieces inside, but still very tasty -- and their condiment/salsa bar is off the hook. I still prefer the Jefe restaurant chicken, but this one is a damn tasty option, plus the place is open late most nights .
