I drove past this place the first time because the numbers were hard to read, so I posted a photo…read moreto make it easier to find. It's about 10 minutes or so from downtown Hood River, an easy drive on 35 and then onto 282 W, into a little main drag with a gas station and a few shops and hole-in-the-wall eateries. Michoacan is only open til 8, so get here in time. A single TV showed Mexican soccer, and the tables are basic. AC worked just fine, and the "sports bar" theme is mainly in some wall posters along with a hanging set of boxing gloves and some soccer and basketballs. The food is why you come though. For $2.50, you'll get a brightly flavored perfect guacamole, but a few bright red tomato bits and the herby bite of cilantro. The waitress told me that my entree came with guacamole, but I wanted more. I'd expected the carnitas entree to just have a spoonful,but it was a generous portion too. The chips were thick, not too salty, with enough heft to hold the thick warm bean dip that is complimentary. Inside the kitchen, visible from the dining room, you can see the women cooking. There's no celebrity chef here, no big presence in the kitchen. Just dark haired women chopping and stirring and making authentic food, and perhaps going home later to do laundry and care for family, all in the shadow of Mt Hood. Carnitas platter was visually satisfying - dark meat with a hint of charred crust, bright green guacamole and limes, a few orange pickled carrots, finely diced cilantro and onion. I often bypass the sticky rice at Tex-Mex joints, but here the grains were flaky and you could get the sweetness of tomato. As a solo diner I didn't have a chance to try the array of $2 tacos this time, but the tortillas that came with the carnitas were fresh and tasty, so that's my next visit! No mixed drinks - a selection of bottled beers (Negra Modelo, Corona, Victoria, Pacifico) which will come with no glass. The "glassware" is plastic, so you might prefer drinking out of the bottle anyway! Glad I came here - friendly staff too. Service was a bit slow - I had to ask for the bill - but fine.

Located right on First, next to Randonne coffee, they have picnic tables behind the truck with stellar views of the Columbia. I've seen families bring wine and beer and enjoy tacos and burritos in this casual setting. There is another Mexican food truck in the parking lot next to Totem Pole Plaza. Chapalita's iopposite and you can park right in front of the truck or on 1st. I've had the carnitas burrito and the pork had a nice kick to it. Combined with beans, rice, guacamole, lettuce and sour cream, it was very satisfying. I've also had the carnitas tacos, made street style with your choice I'd meat, chopped onion, cilantro and lime, just the way I like them! They also serve birria tacos which are tacos with stewed meat and cheese, fried and served with a rich broth for dipping. They are all the rage these days. Both the red and green salsas they give you are wonderful. Ask for extra as the plastic containers are tiny. Service is fast and friendly. They take credit cards and sauce. I'm thrilled to have great Mexican food right in the center of Mosier, a tiny "Mayberry RFD" of a town with just a handful of food options. There is MoCo, a restaurant that is open for lunch and dinner Thursday-Sunday and serves pizza, burgers, salads and is excellent. Brenna's Market open everyday where in addition to groceries, beer and wine, you can get wraps and sandwiches. Randonne Coffee for rich and delicious coffee, breakfast sandwiches and the most buttery scones. And the two Mexican food trucks for burritos, enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, tortes, birria tacos and more. Whenever I'm in Mosier I stop at one or all of them! It's all about supporting local while enjoying the gorgeous scenery, hiking the trails and taking in the spectacular river views of this magical area.

I was already full from lunch and had ice cream for dessert but still wanted to enjoy some beers with a view so did a small flight of 3 beers. My favs were the Hutson Hefe and Double Mountain Dey Cider. Note: Bartender was welcoming and helpful. Loved their backyard outdoor seating area with picnic benches and a perfect view of Mt. Hood!

I recently stopped by Hood River Taqueria for lunch and ordered a Crazy Burrito with carne asada…read more I thought the burrito was pretty good overall. The guacamole was great. The red sauce was okay, but not my favorite. It tasted a lot like the red sauce from Del Taco. The rice and beans were great. It was hard to judge the salsa or carne asada since there didn't seem to be much of either of those. The ambiance was super cute. I loved the huge patio with tons of outdoor seating. The server was polite, and even asked me if I needed a fork, which I did. The location is great, especially if you are visiting for river based activities. It's maybe about a mile away from the waterfront, and close to a lot of other Hood River businesses. Overall, even though it wasn't my favorite wet burrito of all time, I had a good lunch here and I'm glad I checked this place out.

However they lacked flavor or spices. Especially the chicken as it was not seasoned well and had no taste to it. I can say that the rice and beans were unlike any I have tasted and were pretty dog gone good. The service was top notch too.
