Their breakfast burritos are fabulous, really loaded with eggs, potatoes and chorizo. Easily two meals for me! My friend had the tamales and said they were legit. Service is friendly and as fast as it can be based on making food fresh when you order. They are open everyday (except Sunday) from 10-4pm. They have a shaded tented spot if you want to eat there. Next to Ayala is an empanada food cart so pick up some sweet or savory empanadas while you are here.

I've been here a few times since writing my first review…read more Customer service is always great. The staff always greets me with a smile. This is definitely a great lunch option if you are very, very hungry for Mexican street food and want to get very full for less than $15. The burritos are delicious and taste authentic and fresh, but they're also so overwhelmingly greasy that it detracts from how good they are. If I don't eat the whole burrito at once-- which is hard to do since the burrito is huge-- the tortilla is so soggy with grease that it's not very good after a few hours. I'm not sure if my first burrito was a fluke, but no burrito has been quite the same since. So, I guess it's a little hit or miss, but the portions are always huge. Ironically, I think they may have recognized me from my Yelp review, and tried to give me a better burritos by giving me one with way more meat, rice, and beans. The reason I loved the first burrito so much was because it had such a great amount of other toppings. I love when there's enough Pico de Gallo, guacamole, and sour cream to get some in every bite. I still think this is a great food cart, and the portions are huge, but I may have originally overrated the flavor a little bit. I love the look of this truck and the customer service and the vibes but the burritos are just a little too greasy for me. I would still come back here again in the future to try their tacos and other menu items.

I would --without reservations--recommend 4&20 Blackbirds for your event in the Hood River Area. Absolutely 5 stars!

The food was truly an epic part of our wedding because of Shane and all of his amazing staff. Shane is an amazing guy and clearly a very talented chef, but even more impressively, his staff were like a well-oiled machine. The food came out quickly, hot, and delicious. Shane's pride in his food and his staff is palpable, and really added an extra layer of reassurance and competence to a day that really needs that. The food was also truly INCREDIBLE. Literally dozens of our wedding guests went out of their way to say it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Could not recommend highly enough. Thank you again Shane and co, we feel lucky to have found you!

Truly delicious and I have not seen a place like this before. However...I would not use the restroom. It was filthy, there was no soap and no paper towels. Otherwise....give it a go!

This is THE spot. I…read morehad a little trouble finding this place, because there is literally no signage outside, but it's exactly where Google maps says it is. The inside of the store is divided into two main sections: the market, and the carniceria. An entire wall of the market is a fresh bakery section. They had all kinds of pan dulce, cream horns, and Mexican pastries. Near the front of the store were candies and cakes including several flavors of fresh tres leches cake. This store smells so good inside. Even the meat section smells good. This was a major relief since the two stores I'd stopped by before this both smelled like mold. As soon as I saw how long the line was on the carniceria side, without having any idea what they were actually selling over there, I decided to get in line. I figured that if this many people were willing to stand in line for it, then it must be worth standing in line for. The line moved surprisingly quick. Once I got to the front, I got shy about speaking Spanish. I asked for two tamales. "De cual?" "Umm.. what kind do you have?" "Que dijo?" She stared at me like she knew I speak Spanish. (How did she know?) I ordered one chicken tamale and one corn tamale. I wanted some of the barbecue chicken, but there was no menu, and I had no idea how to order it. Maybe I'll figure it out next time. I grabbed a guava drink from the cooler and a coconut macaron from the candy section. Both were super fresh. The tamales were so bomb. The elote ones tasted a lot like tomalito, but less sweet. The shredded chicken tamale was my favorite though. Very tender, juicy, and flavorful.

Hidden gem! Literally. Located in the very large red building across from Rosauers supermarket in…read morethe Heights, there is no signage anywhere. You either know or miss out on some delicious hot Mexican food, pan dulce, and pantry staples. A friend told me about the freshly made carnitas, and his description had my mouth watering. I went the very next day! Upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised with how large this market is, including the aisles. There's plenty of room to walk up and down each to check out the various Mexican sodas, treats, chips, salsas, piñatas, pan dulce, fruit, and produce. I grabbed a few mangoes for 79 cents, then fresh limes and cilantro, a pack of street size corn tortillas, then quickly realized I needed a cart! With cart in tow, I headed back to the deli counter where they have lots of marinated meat, cotja cheese, shrimp, huge trays of chicharron, roasted quarter, half and full chickens, three different kinds of tamales, and carnitas. When ordering a pound of carnitas, which will make our taco dinner so much easier since they did the work, the young man behind the counter even asked if I wanted to include the fat. While many of the local farm workers favor those sections, I opted to go without it, and I was very appreciative that he accommodated. The other foods looked and smelled so delicious that I couldn't resist getting a quarter of the white meat chicken and two jalapeño & cheese tamales, one pork, and one chicken. As I left the deli area, the smell of fresh bread was everywhere, the trays placed adjacent to entice customers! I selected two pieces of various pan dulce. Admittedly, I had a piece of one as soon as I got into my car! The rest is for breakfast, perfect with morning coffee. Makevsurevto check out the bakery and the beautifully decorated cakes. Also the rack of seasoning packs and the bags of dried chile. In spite of what other reviewers stated, everyone working there was very friendly, greeting me with a hello and a smile, offering assistance, showing genuine kindness. Same with the other shoppers. I was using a cane due to an injury, and people moved their carts out of the way and even asked if I needed them to grab items off the shelves. I'm so glad a friend turned me onto Mercado Guadalajara. Our dinner was fabulous and I'm already looking forward to more carnitas, tamales and roasted chicken.

I'm allergic to peanuts/peanut butter, and I reacted to something in the tacos. I called and they said they don't use peanuts, but my throat said otherwise. It could also be soy protein concentrate which can also get me. The taste was a bit odd, kind of mushy but gritty at the same time. I really loved the Pastor tacos the first time I came, but something has changed. My wife got the nachos, but they use some kind of liquid cheese spread instead of real cheese, and they don't broil it, so it was just kind of a sloppy mess. We had saved this meal as our final meal before heading home, and it was really a disappointment.
