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.

We arrived later than planned at the White Salmon location and hit the dinner rush, but were seated…read moreimmediately. We were grateful the patio was open -- it cut down on the indoor noise, and as non‑drinkers, we appreciated being away from the strong beer smell inside. Vegetarian options were plentiful and clearly labeled, which was a relief. We started with chips and all three salsas: red, mango, and queso. The queso had the only bit of zing, the red salsa tasted more like tomato sauce, and the mango salsa was delicious but very sweet. The chip‑to‑salsa ratio was excellent -- something many restaurants miss. The mains were slow to arrive, but understandable given the rush. The seasonal snap pea salad was beautifully presented and genuinely delicious, with a light lemon note and sweet pepperdew peppers. My husband ordered the pub cheeseburger with the vegetarian patty; he found it a bit spicy (he doesn't do heat at all), and I found it slightly dry, though I appreciated that it was a house‑made patty rather than the usual Beyond/Boca/Impossible option. I'm not one to linger after eating, so I always get impatient waiting for the check, but overall we would definitely eat here again. There were so many thoughtful vegetarian choices.

A nice refreshing beer was exactly what was needed after all the work rafting. For a starter we got the artichoke dip. This was some of the best dip I've ever had. I could have eaten this as my whole meal and ate too much that I wasn't super hungry when my burger came. I wasn't too upset about that though because the dip was a lot better than the burger. The bacon jam and onions on the burger were great, but the burger itself was slightly dry.

My carne asada was overcooked, dry, and overpriced. It should be cooked medium rare to medium, but it came out well done, and I couldn't finish it. I was really disappointed, especially since the last time I came here (about 7 years ago), it was my favorite dish. Clearly, you went from an experienced chef to a very inexperienced cook. It's very unfortunate because the poor quality reflects your business, and I am not the only one noticing that. Your change to save a few dollars is going to hurt your reputation. I hope you go back to using experienced chefs and stop hiring amateur cooks who don't know what they're doing. Our total came to $60, or $75 with tip, and honestly, the experience wasn't worth it. I expected better and likely won't be back unless it's a last option, since The Dalles tends to close early on weekends.

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.
