    Chicken flautas
    Michelle E.

    I've been craving their flautas for months! Fantastic options, good prices, and great service! The staff were very friendly and accommodating for a dog on their lovely outdoor patio. It was a perfect spring day, the music was fun and not too loud. This is my preferred style of Mexican American food, and it's worth the drive out!

    I don't know where to start. Everything was amazing! They started us with chips and salsa which was fresh. Our meals were delicious and you can tell it's made from scratch. The only thing that wasn't was the tortillas I believe. My partner loved his margarita, perfect ratio. Ambiance was excellent. The service here is exceptional. Our server was attentive and we had great conversations. The whole team worked together to provide a flawless eating experience. We never had to ask anything twice! The staff here genuinely care.

    Yum yum yum. their tacos were great. We got lengua and cabeza. The nachos were our least favorite but that's because we got our food to go so by the time we got home, they didn't taste good. Chips were soggy :/ we enjoyed almost everything. The woman who checked us out, was super sweet too. We will def be going here again!

    Veggie Enchiladas

    Better than ever! The Veggie enchiladas are just beautifully presented (see pic). The veggies inside are cooked just right -- not overcooked. Broccoli, yellow zucchini, carrots, wonderful brown sauce. Wow!

    Have been going here for many years. Have always had great quality food and friendly service. Just went in last week and was somewhat shocked by the prices. The majority of items were over $20.. not sure if that is the local norm. Burrito plates are around $24, for example.

    I had read recently in a Hillsboro website article that answers to where to find the best margarita in Hillsboro consistently stated that Pepper's was the overwhelming choice. So of course we had to try it. And the masses were correct...incredible, perfectly balanced, and so flavorful. We have now gone to Pepper's twice in the last three weeks and the food and service continues to excel. An example is the preparation of the enchilada's. Many simply smother the enchilada's with sauce and cheese. At Pepper's, both are there, but they are used sparingly so you can actually taste the enchilada. The vegetarian options are plentiful as well, so my wife has many choices. The service continues to be on another level as well. Last night our server came out to the parking lot to assist me on the best place to park. How many restaurants/servers will do that?? The servers continue to provide more chips and salsa when needed. They hand clear when necessary. They are also very engaging and friendly. Pepper's has definitely become our go to restaurant for quality Mexican food and service.

    Fried ice cream-delicious

    The food and service here were excellent. The chicken taquitos were so yummy and the the chip and salsa was fresh and tasty. Other people in the group got taco salad and chicken tacos the we were all pleased. The restaurant is very clean and prompt service. I will definitely return.

    Lunch menu, the other side is Spanish
    Angela J.

    Fabulous service. I thought the prices are high for lunch (look at menu photo), but the portions for the price are large. I had leftovers for dinner. The food was fresh, delivered to order and delicious. Chips and salsa are free and again, delicious. Beautiful murals on the wall and the music was at a perfect level for visiting. There's a full bar, too. Definitely will bring my friends back.

    Shrimp enchiladas 2 for $24
    Amy A.

    We always try and support local restaurants, but in the Hillsboro area there are a few Mexican restaurant options. The service was great! The price per plate was not justified in my opinion. The dinner was small on protein shrimp and heavy servings of rice and beans. Flavor and freshness was just Ok. Considering all the other Mexican food options in the area it's doubtful we'd return.

We all had an amazing time. It's so good that local celebrities like Eric Miller (Timbers' #15) was there dining while we were enjoying our food. SERVICE Zoe's amazing service is worth calling out, first highlight of our dinner. She was happy, funny, sprinkled zesty remarks that made us laugh, brought food fast, recommended great dishes, clarified all of our questions - Precisely what one expects from the warm Mexican server. It would be unfair to not mention the rest of the staff, it's just that Zoe was the unapologetically the best. FOOD Just the highlights from everything we had: - Chilaquiles Tarascos ($18.99) + Egg ($4): Our measuring stick for Mexican food authenticity, so we ignored how pricey they were for chilaquiles. These are chips in salsa topped with meat and egg. The way they make this dish sets the bar high for all other Mexican restaurants! - Machete con Carne ($18): Delicious giant taco with hand-made corn tortilla, cheese and up to 2 meats of your choice This is what I ordered based on Zoe's recommendation. 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.

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.

They never disappoint. Very authentic Mexican, ample portions at fair prices. This restaurant is more informal than most and is more of a fast food place. Totally fine with me. You order at the counter, get your own chips and salsa and they bring the food to you. They do a brisk business but if you have limited time for lunch this place is perfect. They will get you in and out fast.

And I've had my fair share of bad ones in the area. Not as great a folks advertise it to be. However when I first stepped foot on Ochoas' greasy floors, I knew this place would be exceptionally legit! Here's what I've tried and here's what I dig about Ochoas: ~ Their variety of Combos (about $12-14). I've done their tacos enchiladas, and chicken fajitas type of combos and man they've been belly filling silly! So stuffed, so good! SO worth it! I would reduce a star due to tortillas being sold separately, but I didn't mind not having tortilla. ~ Two recommended plates, the Tacos Dorados ($14) and the Enchiladas Suisa ($16) man'o'man are these plates are dope! I usually get them filled with chorizo, but I say get them with campechano (asada and chorizo). Super flavorful! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Their lengua and pastor are also tasty! ~ My favorites are actually their breakfast burritos. Chorizo is chorizo, but their Combo breakfast burrito ($9.50) is filled with sausage, ham, cheese, and stuffed with eggs they're not shiesty about adding. Can't go wrong with their breakfast burritos! ~ I'll be honest here, I wasn't really a fan of their tamales. They look good, but I've had better. Not enough to reduce a star either. ~ Legit "Salsa Bar" that usually has six different types. Loved a lot of them too! But really it depends on what salsa goes with what. ~ Another bonus, they've got a catering booth at the Orenco Station Farmer's Market! As far as dining-in, it's nothing fancy. Clean enough to eat there even though I mentioned the floor condition earlier lol. Had to tell them to kick on the heater when it was cold too. Regarding service, I've have to turn up my broken Spanish, but for the most part they've been patient enough to take my order with ease. No issues with service. Again it confirms the legitimacy. That's all I've got to say, and to me they're "one of the best for Mexican food in Hillsboro". I don't care about the negative reviews and what others may think. I say, if you're hesitant like I was, give them a try them and compare for yourself. If you've got a place that's better, let me know.

Yet their website states the following: Sunday: 10:00 AM-9:00 PM I do see they have 4 stars overall. I gave it 5 stars a year and a half ago. It definitely doesn't warrant 5 stars. The scheduled hours in the front window area is missing half of the numbers. The threshold is filthy. The knife in my roll-up had something crusted on it. And we were told very nicely, by our server Johana, that she hoped the Chef would come back, as he had left earlier. Whew...he came in after we were there about 10 minutes. We arrived at 4:00. And the last irritant...the music sound level. I wanted to ask Johana to turn it down, but just put it off. We were told at 10:00 Casa Lola becomes a night club...fine, but at 4:00 on a Sunday. Johana was terrific and the food was good. My Al Pastor Tacos were okay. Not great, but not bad. Black beans and rice accompanied all of the dishes and they also were good...not great. My wife, being a vegetarian, had the Enchilada's stuffed with carrots and potatoes. She loved the sauce, even though it had queso fresco on top, as she had requested none be served.
