We wandered in, having decided that cooking wasn't in our plan. And it was soooo good. I had a cosmo, Wayne had a margarita (as he says, what else do you drink at an authentic Mexican restaurant). We went for the burrito - which was one of the best I've had. Not too heavy, meat was perfect, and, best thing? It was a two-meal burrito! Heated up amazingly the next day. Wayne got the enchiladas - the picture shows how delish it looked - spoiler alert - it tasted AS GOOD! It was a wonderful evening and so glad that we were able to sit at the bar, watch the cook/owner and be served by the bartender/server/owner!

I will start this off by saying that I never would expect this small establishment to serve some of…read morethe best tacos that we have been privy to in a long time! It is a quaint and small and unsassuming place that packs 'em in tight but the great thing is that I was able to book a reservation ahead of time for a Friday night and we were able to be seated right away and our adventure begins. There were many vegan options for my better half and she also got a non alcoholic margarita that she enjoyed tremendously. I got three different styles of tacos and appetizers and they were divine ... (Pork Belly, Carnitas, Fried fish taco) The ambiance and the energy of the place was fantastic with the server being very good at what he did. We will definitely be back!

Bird & Co is the best Mexican spot in Portland…read more I'm not saying it's the most authentic, I'm not saying it's perfect, I'm not saying their cocktail program is going to change your life, but... 1. They take reservations (including for brunch on the weekends) and it's super easy to do online. How many places in this city are doing this? The answer is: still not many. 2. Their menu is clearly labeled with what's vegan and vegetarian. No guessing here, and the staff has always been quick to double-check with the kitchen if there are any questions or concerns. Segue... 3. The chips and guacamole for currently $10 are the same quantity of (and I mean this lovingly) overly salted, house fried - sometimes too fried - chips and a tiny scoop of good guac as most places in town that are CHARGING YOU MORE. Segue... 4. There are places in town now charging $8 to $10 for ONE TACO. And they're sometimes quite small. The tacos here average between $4.75 and $6.50 for creative, flavorful, interesting, filling options (also you can get them on either flour or corn, no upcharge). The menu changes from time to time, and I wish they'd bring back the fried yuca taco, but the solid vegan solid options right now are Adobo Sweet Potato, Fried Plantain, and Crispy Tofu. Segue... 5. The taquitos, brussel sprouts, and cheesecake are all vegan. Segue... 6. The brunch (10am to 2pm, Saturday and Sundays) options for vegans are probably the most impressive in town: tofu or chorizo or fresh avocado tacos, huevos rancheros, churro french toast, avocado toast, chimichangas. 7. The Mexican cold brew might change your life (... or at least make you really happy when you're playing hooky from work and having an 11am drink). Switch the tequila for house whisky, skip the vespertino, ask for a side of oat milk... no changes to the price when doing this, by the way, because they're THAT kind of place that isn't trying to punish you constantly with extra fees. 8. The staff is so accommodating, they're thoughtful, they check-in just the right amount. Sure, I've had a few bad experiences here, but overall... sit at the bar, make a friend, and just ask/just talk to them if you're missing something/need something etc. 9. The atmosphere here is Portland right before it became too cool (IYKYK). It's casual and relaxed, it can be intimate and loud when it's busy, it feels quite trendy yet still approachable when they've got their newly updated outside area set-up. 10. It's off peninsula which also changes the demographic and vibe entiiiiiiiiiirely. For the good. 6/5 no notes.

We enjoyed our food and visit. Friendly service…read more Cozy dining area - not too large. Most people were getting take out. Also - A LOT of people were getting take out. We were there on a Tuesday around 11:45 and stayed until around 1:30/2pm - There was a steady stream of people getting take out and the dinning aread was 3/4 full the entire time. It seems to be a very popular place. The menu is pretty easy to read on the wall to your right as you walk in. it's pretty easy - you can choose a option from the wall and you can customize your burrito, quesadilla, nachos etc further when you get to the counter. I have never been to a chipotle, so I can't compare it. I love the fact that it's locally owned. For those that do not like cilantro - it's only in two things..one of the rice options and the pico...other than that you are safe. For those that love cilantro, you can ask for extra. I had the supreme nachos with pork and nacho cheese, jalapenos, black beans and lettuce....SOOOOOO GOOOD!!!! and very very filling. I liked the food so much that I ordered a to-go dish for my husband. He loved his food. he said the seasoning was light, but he enjoyed it. I look forward to coming back if I find myself in this area. it, Fast, Easy, and Delicious.

Of all the times coming here and eating their food both breakfast and lunch/dinner have had no complaints. Service has always been friendly and quick! They have some space indoors to dine but us like many others order then take it home to eat. They follow a similar model as places like Chipotle and Subway where you order and watch your food be made and can choose the toppings/fill ins. You can enjoy so many great options of burritos, tacos, bowls/salads, fries, quesadillas plus some other things. I have always enjoyed their burritos, maybe I need to expand to other things next time. My wife enjoys their bacon breakfast burrito and I enjoy their chorizo breakfast burrito. Lunch wise my wife enjoys their Burrito Americano while I think their Steak Bomb Burrito is great! They offer a good variety in fillings, spice levels, and flavors. Food always tastes fresh and high quality to us. Give their menu a look and check this spot out! Definitely worth your time!

Not fancy at all upon walking in. Service counter with laminated menus on the counter with a friendly young lady willing to assist. I tried to bring up our past orders since hubby and I really enjoy two items on their menu but was unable to find the El Pastor meat in the printed menu, was in-line when we ordered in the fall. Might be seasonal. Ordering was easy and were told it would take 10 minutes to prepare. We wanted to share some of our history as a couple with our son, so we left for a quick drive while our food cooked. They have a nice sitting area for dining in but we knew we'd be taking it to go. Ready and packaged nicely we headed home. After a 30 minute drive the food was still relatively hot. Again, salad and burrito were fabulous as was my son's meal. Ordered the Churros for dessert which came with chocolate and caramel dipping sauces. None were needed, crispy/ crunchy on outside and slightly chewy on the inside.

The staff are some of the kindest, most accommodating people in the business--the bartenders in particular are always willing to work with you to find exactly the cocktail you're in the mood for. The food is fresh and local. In particular the partnership with Bath's local butcher shines through in their meats, but there are plenty of options for vegetarians as well. They're also one of the only restaurants around where I feel confident I can bring my partner who has celiac. He's eaten here multiple times and the staff have always been understanding and able to accommodate him. The atmosphere strikes a lovely balance that feels sophisticated enough for an event or special occasion, but just as welcoming if you want to sit at the bar after work and have a French onion burger and drink.
