    Pastor burrito bowl
    L W.

    Wow. Beyond expectations! I ordered the burrito bowl and not only was it beautiful and so delicious, but I got it for here and it was served in a real bowl! Love not having to throw away a container. Seriously satisfying, fresh tasting ingredients, I will definitely come back to try more. Also the cart pod has a bar cart and nice tables!

    Quesabirria tacos and burrito bowl

    This might be our new fave Mexican food cart! It's in the new pod called Cathedral Park Food Carts which has all around stellar options. The quesabirria tacos here are amazing! We also enjoyed the burrito and tostada. Everything is served on real plates which makes the eating experience lovely.

    Bean, cheese, and rice burrito.

    Everything they make is delicious. In my opinion, though, they make the best beans (both black and pinto) in Portland. I'm not vegetarian, but I often come here to get a bean cheese and rice burrito because the beans are so good!

    An unsuspecting plate of yum! Don't let the curb appeal deter you. Even I was a little nervous based on the location but they served one of the best plates of sopes I have ever had the pleasure of tasting! They would be my number 1 sope place if only al pastor was a protein option:)

    Consistently delicious. Highly recommended. I especially like their tacos Al Pastor. And my wife really loves their tacos Asada.

    We ordered the green enchiladas and carne asada tacos. Both items lacked flavor and unfortunately both items were cold.

    The food was pretty good. Carne asada was very salty. Quick and easy and the location was convenient.

    We had a great time at this restaurant, the vibes inside are amazing and the food is delicious! I'd…read morerecommend the horchata and the queso fundido poblano! What we ate: Queso Fundido Poblano as a starter. We had a Carne Asada Taco and a Pastor Taco. Then got the La Costa Burrito, a shrimp burrito drenched in a creamy white wine sauce with pico, avocado, chili oil & queso fresco. Additionally, for drinks we had a cocktail and a horchata.

Enchiladas (carnitas) it was only ok it was a tad bit salty and, a few hard parts (I'll definitely would get the chicken next time). Chicken Fajitas were good but, it's a different taste from other places I've had it (my love enjoyed it he said it had a very authentic flavor). Rice (fluffy) and Beans (well seasoned) both were really delicious. Service~Pearlina was super sweet, knew the menu very well and, had exceptional service. She made sure we had everything we needed and, continue to check on us throughout our meal. Ambiance~It's has a very calming vibe and atmosphere. I love the fact they have a privacy strip on the windows (so no one walking by watches you eat). It's a family owned restaurant and, I would recommend giving them a try. I feel what we ordered was worth it but, everything (except water) has a charge. Only street parking and, lots of indoor/outdoor seating.

Both the fish and the prawns were cooked in a red sauce that was delicious! I meant to ask for blue corn tortillas but was so excited to find shrimp & fish tacos that weren't deep-fried that I forgot to ask for them. The regular corn tortillas were excellent, though, so it was not a bad mistake to make. I also had jamaica to drink and let me tell you... it was not made from a mix! It was dark, thirst-quenching, and perfectly made. Most jamaica is super sweet - this was not! I love the flavor of real hibiscus and this did not disappoint. My friends had chile relleno bowls and birria tacos, all of which was excellent. Their watermelon margaritas were tasty and refreshing! Our orders were taken by a helpful person at the cash register and the food was served quickly by a friendly server. The inside and outside areas were clean and tidy, with plenty of seating available at the outside tables. The outdoor seating area is under cover making it a good choice for both summer & winter dining. Definitely going on my "have to go back and try something else" list!

I tried their course menu, and every dish was presented with such care and beauty. What I especially appreciated was how each dish was bursting with flavor without being overly salty or sweet -- something that's surprisingly hard to find at restaurants. The decor is stylish yet welcoming, and the music adds just the right amount of ambiance while still allowing for easy conversation. No need to yell across the table! My pictures (the ones I managed to take before digging in ) really don't do this gem justice, so I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself.

    We came here for their brunch/lunch on a Sunday. We made reservations since there were 6 of us and…read morewe were celebrating a birthday. Everyone we encountered was incredibly kind. We decided to do the $45 lunch deal where we let them feed us and basically got a 10 course lunch (totally worth it)! Since we tried so many things, some courses were a miss and some were a big hit. It was really fun! Some of my favorites were the arroz con frijoles, yes the rice and beans! They are so flavorful and served with house made tortillas. I think my favorite thing was the tostada topped with white beans, cabbage, and roasted corn - insane! I also loved the Huarache with adobo squash and I'm not normally into smokey things, but everything just worked together. I wasn't the biggest fan of one of the moles we were served, but there was a sweeter one that was paired with eggplant that I couldn't stop eating. We ended the meal with 2 desserts and 1 came with a candle for our friend, which is always such a lovely gesture. The fried concha was incredible!! GET IT! Ours had ground cherries and a lime whipped cream and I would come back just for that. This is definitely a spot that's worth the tasting menu! There are so many flavors to explore you will want to try everything!

Plenty of parking…read morearound the building, but only a few parallel parking spots available at the building entrance. The inside decor is super cute and colorful. The painting on the walls and furniture is very festive! I love how they have different seating area rooms to spread guests out for privacy. They also have a covered outdoor seating area available. Staff was welcoming, friendly, helpful and attentive. I read reviews about their complimentary chips, salsa and bean dip. We asked for the bean dip, but we found out when we received our bill that it's not complimentary anymore. Bummer. It was good, but not worth the extra $5. They were extremely generous with their chips and salsa, so in the end we were okay paying the extra $5. We ordered the chicken quesadilla and charbroiled burger. Both were great! Fresh ingredients. The quesadilla wasn't greasy at all. Neither were the chips! Our server recommended the pollo asada for my quesadilla and it was much appreciated. The seasoning on the chicken was delicious, including the charbroiled flavor. Overall a wonderful first visit here. We'll definitely be back! Would highly recommend.
