Oh boy--I really wanted to love this place. The vibe is great, the music is fun, and the staff is incredibly kind. We saw beautiful, generous plates coming out of the kitchen, and our server was truly wonderful--she handled our concerns with so much grace. Now for the not-so-great part: the bathroom was out of toilet paper and paper towels, which was a rough first impression. We ordered fresh-squeezed skinny margaritas, but they originally came with a premade mix--not what we asked for. To her credit, our amazing server personally remade them from scratch, and they were perfect the second time! We only ordered one appetizer, but it was super tasty. I'm torn--there's potential here, and I might give it another shot down the road. Only time will tell.
It would be a struggle to find a more bland tasting Mexican dish than the burrito enchilada combination plate I ordered. No amount of salt pepper or salsa really improved what was a truly underwhelming dish. The enchilada had one ingredient inside: meat. And the burrito was pretty much the same. No salsa, sour cream, or guacamole or lettuce or onions anywhere. And the amount of greasy processed orange cheddar they cover their dishes with should be illegal. There is a reason the plates are 250 degrees when they come out! That amount of cheese would harden instantly if the plate was room temperature. On the positive side the servers were polite and attentive.
My wife and I were impressed with every aspect of our visit to Mezcaluna, from seating, to service, to the meal itself. Our server, Miguel, who my wife recognized as someone she had worked with as a server many years ago, was attentive, friendly and personable, even before their mutual familiarity was recognized. Shrimp tacos for her, ribeye tacos for me, and a margarita each makes for an excellent lunch, but the size of these puppies was such that neither of us could finish our meals, meaning we also had them for dinner. #humblebrag Our margaritas were similarly fantastic, although my wife and I ended up switching my spicy marg for her hibiscus mezcal marg, as she had overestimated her taste for mezcal, whereas I enjoy it FAR more than tequila, but this preference is due to personal taste, and not a slight against the quality of the mezcal, or the drink itself. One more object of (positive) note is the complimentary cantina salsa is pretty darn awesome, and likely solely responsible for neither of us being able to finish our entrées. The only complaint I would levy against Mezcaluna would be that, in keeping with its image as an "upscale" Mexican eatery, the prices of just about everything was also "upscaled", so keep that in mind when looking for budget dining options around Clackamas Town Center. Finding notable Mexican restaurants, meaning those that I would actively seek out again in the future over others, is pretty rare, but Mezcaluna is definitely poised near the top of my very limited list, and we wouldn't hesitate to return again for another crack at the menu, and branching out into other favorites beyond the safety of tacos as a comfort food.
As soon as I sat down they had chips and salsa sitting in front of me. I ordered the carnita tacos. They were good but some of the pork pieces were a little dry. Typical rice and bean side. Pleasant inside and they do have outside sitting.
Wow big portions! The elotes was delicious! Free chips and salsa :) the margaritas was good too! I would definitely come back for drinks and appetizers. Love the music too! And our server was nice.
Pretty good bar with solid decor, fireplace, and good food. They have variety of tables for couples, small group of friends, or even big families with 6+ people. Food is a bit in higher prices range ($12-$30), but they come with large portions and free chip + salsa (free refill also). Super fast and friendly customer service, variety of drinks. Highly recommend for date night, or even family birthday party
Move over, every other brunch spot -- we've found the one. This restaurant just rolled out a Sunday buffet brunch, and honestly... we may never recover (in the best way). Picture this: authentic Mexican dishes that taste like someone's abuelita made them with love , plus all the classic breakfast staples that make you feel cozy and nostalgic . It's basically like two brunches in one. And then... bottomless mimosas for $16. SIXTEEN. At this point, we're convinced they're either trying to spoil us or send us home giggling -- either way, we're here for it. Prices are super reasonable, the food was fresh and delicious, and the vibe was exactly what a Sunday brunch should be: happy, relaxed, and slightly bubbly (thanks, champagne). This is officially our new brunch go-to. Sorry to our old favorites, but you've been replaced.
Love the food here! The portions are huge and very filling, I never leave here hungry. The service is welcoming and friendly. The guacamole with chips is fresh and prepared right in front of you (salsa included beforehand). The ambiance here is clean and warm, perfect for any type of weather. There is also an option to eat outside during sunny days.
The restaurant is nice, has a patio, bar and indoor area. I sat at the bar and my bartender was great! I had 2 different margaritas, one fresh watermelon and a mezcal one, both were delicious. I ordered a taco salad with shrimp and the food was disappointing. The tortilla looked like it came out of a package, it was not edible. The salad was nothing special at all.
Not a bad spot to grab drinks and food while mall shopping. The portions are a good size and the chocolate wasn't over powered in the mole sauce. The flan has all the hallmarks of being made off site which is a disappointment. They have Mexican beer on tap which was a nice change! They also have a large selection of tequilas if you are looking for something harder. We sat at the bar, and even then it was a little wait to get service at moments because of busy they were. The bar tender was friendly, just busy. The music is a little loud for easy conversation.
Excellent food,shrimp enchiladas were excellent, chicken enchiladas with spicy chocolate sauce were equally as good. Fresh chips and salsa to start the meal. No booths , just uncomfortable chairs, coupled with a high ceiling made for a noisy lunch. The one thing I've noticed about most of the places we eat, if one doesn't order Alcohol then the service seems to fall off. I guess they are thinking a smaller tip, they'd be thinking wrong. Also, I know the weather is nice, but by leaving the restaurant open you invite lots of flys. Probably not a place we would go back to.

There are some hits and some misses on the happy menu. I'd recommend the tacos, elotes, and the margs especially their tamarindo marg. Their HH prices were very reasonable and their HH hours were convenient. Service was great, the bartender took care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. There are plenty of tvs in the bar to watch sporting events which we were there for. There's also regular dining room for larger gatherings. read more

Had a great brunch today! Mindy found MEZCALUNA in Happy Valley, in the Clackamas Town Center complex. It starts at 10:00am. They have had a mexican brunch buffet for the last 4 months, a bit spendy at $40 but so worth it! Longer travel time for us, but enjoyed the ride. Everything was so fresh and delicious, and the service was amazing! You can have items off of their brunch menu which are included, some are made tableside. If you are into it, they offer all you can drink mimosas for $16 extra. Your usual beverages come with the brunch. Wonderful hand made flour and corn tortillas! Hope you can try it out! Best place we have been in a long time! Enjoy! read more

First time here. Friend I met with recommended this place as she lives nearby. She has been beee several times. The margaritas were really good. Nachos were very flavorful. Meat was cooked perfectly. Service was amazing. Staff was very friendly and attentive to us. We sat outside, it was a beautiful day, they have great outdoor seating and doors that slide open with a fire pit. I will definitely be back. Thanks for a great first experience. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Mezcaluna last night, sharing good food and laughter with friends. The energy here is vibrant and welcoming. We started with the tableside guacamole, which felt like a little ritual in itself. You get to choose your own ingredients--ours had just the right balance of lime, tomato, and a hint of pepper heat. Fresh, flavorful, and fun to watch come together. We also shared the queso, which was creamy, rich, and absolutely divine. For my main, I had the chile relleno, and I have to say, it might be one of the best in Portland. Paired it with a house margarita that was strong, citrusy, and delicious--just how I like it. The whole experience was excellent. Great service, high energy, and a menu full of delicious options. We'll definitely be back. read more

Great place to eat in Clackamas! The food is great and the service is even better. We came to enjoy happy hour but the times were listed wrong online but the manager still honored them which was very kind. We ordered a few things in happy hour! We also got the house margarita mix and the premixed margarita! The house mix is less sugar and tastes stronger. The other has a thicker flavor and more sugar. Both were great! read more
I was impressed with the service! The complementary chips and salsa were brought to the table within 2 minutes after I sat down. Throughout out dinner, Melissa, our server was so attentive, yet didn't rushed us to order since we weren't really hungry. I got the Mango Ceviche Shrimp, $18 and the Virgin Pina Colada, $8. The ceviche portion was big enough to share between my friend and I. I prefer fish ceviche but was surprised how decent this shrimp ceviche marinated and tasted even though it was a bit on a chewy texture for me. My Pina Colada was a bit on the sweet side for me so I didn't much care for it and barely touched it. My friend got the Elote, $10 and Big Luna Margarita Rocks $17. The Elote was served on the iron cask but it didn't taste like it was cooked in it. The sauce and spice were balanced well so not bad at all and the wedge of squeezed lime added that oozy flavor. It's a casual and enough space in and outside sitting to still provide that comfort with privacy at your table. The cover outside sitting was perfect for our dinner tonight without the fireplace being on. It's definitely a fun place to casually hangout with friends. I'm not a drinker, so I might be out of touch here but the $17 Big Luna Margarita Rocks drink is quite expensive! Happy Hour Menu Served from 3-6pm & 8pm - close Sunday - Thursday read more

I visited around 5pm with friends, and my experience with our server, Amy C, was very disappointing. I asked if the pork fajitas were pulled pork and was told no, so I ordered it. 5 mins later another (very kind) server explained it actually was pulled pork. Since I don't like it, I immediately tried to change to chicken. I even waited in front of the kitchen, but Amy was in the restroom and the server i talked to can't even to help to change the order. When she returned, instead of fixing the order, she said it was "too late" and added, "next time, let me know earlier," even though she was unavailable. She later said, "I'm being nice to you, I have many tables," she is lying she went to the restroom and other server not help to change the order of her table which felt dismissive and unprofessional. At the end She switched the order for me from pork to chicken but her lack of menu knowledge and poor attitude left me uncomfortable. The food itself was excellent, but service like this ruins the entire dining experience. Good customer service should mean teamwork, respect, and accurate information. I hope manager and the owner addresses this issue (Amy C ) so that future guests are treated with the professionalism and courtesy they deserve. read more

Located at Clackamas Town-center, the lively atmosphere and dozens of outdoor high top tables draws you in. On a Friday night it was hopping, thankfully we had reservations which I highly recommend any time you plan on eating here. Maybe it was the crowd or the overall challenge with hiring a wait staff post covid, but our service was definitely lacking. The runner brought warm chips and salsa quickly, and our waiter did come to our table to take drink orders, but after that, we had to frantically wave and call to her loudly to get her attention. She walked right by us so many times as we tried to flag her down to place a to go order and to get out check. Chips and salsa were good. They have many varieties of margaritas and the alcohol is very apparent from the first sip. I had a spicy margarita and it was quite good. For dinner I had the chicken enchiladas suiza which was two enchiladas with rice and I chose black beans. The enchiladas were so salty that it distractEd from all the other flavors. Inside was chunks of chicken breast that were on the dry side. Others at my table ordered a steak salad and the carne asada plate, both looked good and were better choices. They both had been there before so probably knew what to order. Important to mention, almost the entire restaurant is high top tables so if this is not comfortable for you, know this going in. There are a few tables inside with regular height chairs, but not many. For me this was a huge challenge as I am recovering from hip replacement surgery and my feet need to be on the ground. I lasted about an hour and had to call it a night. If my friends were meeting there again, I would go for the social aspect and woukd order one of their salads. On my own, I wouldn't seek Mezcaluna out. read more
Really cool establishment that has popped into town. Entrance is impressive with the flames at the doorway. Nice high vaulted ceilings with muted lighting create a really intimate but sophisticated atmosphere. Server was great with dealing with our large table. Orders were all done correctly and service was timely. The flaming presentation for the fajitas was pretty impressive. Food and drinks were great. Everything was well seasoned and satiating. Pretty pleased with the overall experience. With a nice place like this so close to my work, my coworkers and I make a visit here pretty often! read more
