    Taco salad
    Bob 5.

    So far, I've only gone for taco Tuesdays and the tacos were OK and the chili Anna was really good so I'll probably be back because the prices were excellent. I couldn't believe how reasonable they were like two dollar tacos and the chile relleno was like 5 bucks I haven't tried any of their actual dinner dishes but the place did smell quite amazing and the prices definitely right so go check them out

    Taco Tuesday's are our families favorite! I always get the veggie tacos, which are amazing! We also get chicken, BBQ pork, and steak tacos which are all equally delicious! The 2 gals that wait on people on Tuesday's are so sweet and kind to my messy children!

    The good tacos

    The food was amazing! The service was very nice and respectful! The ambiance aka the looks was alright. There was paintings it was really beautiful... but food would be a a solid 6/10 service 8/10 and looks 5/10 but over all probably 7/10

    Great place for Mexican, the staff is friendly. Taco Tuesday is our favorite we go at least one a month. The avocado green sauce is spicy and delicious. The salsa bar is a awesome accommodation. You can see right into the kitchen and the cooks appear clean and happy. It's really busy on Tuesday nights due to .99 tacos so I recommend going before dinner rush.

    The Fajitas Mixta!

    My bf and I visit Molalla regularly because it's the closest skydive drop-zone to PDX. This is our fav restaurant in the area. They have complimentary, unlimited chips, salsa, and self-serve toppings such as pico, pickled vegetables, other fun sauces. Their meal portions are huge, tasty, and affordable. *Plus their employees are Spanish-speaking. Legit. I couldn't ask for more from a Mexican restaurant. My fav dish is the Fajitas Mixtas. This is a great spot for vey hungry people. Also, they have catering!

    Food was great. Probably some of the best Mexican food you can find in the area. I got 2 Lengua tacos and 2 Asada. Left my plate clean.

    Food is great but wasn't crazy about the dining area. Found a fly in the salsa. They need to cover their salsa station.

    This was our first visit after hearing about this restaurant for quite some time, and it truly…read moreexceeded our expectations--it's a hidden gem. The interior is spacious, clean, and comfortable. We were seated in a booth and promptly welcomed with complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were warm, and the beans served alongside them were as well. Shortly after being seated, our server greeted us and informed us of the Friday evening drink specials. To start, we ordered a couple of house margaritas and the grilled octopus, both of which were excellent. The menu offers a wide variety of options, so we asked for a recommendation. Our server suggested the Molcajete Mexicano, which turned out to be a standout dish--rich in flavor and generously portioned (photo attached for reference). Overall, the pricing was reasonable for dining out, and the service was attentive and efficient. We arrived with modest expectations but were thoroughly impressed by both the food and the service. We look forward to returning to try more items on the menu.

    Good service and decent prices. The food was just ok. I ordered the seafood rellenos and when I got…read moreit the chili was cold. Not even warm. I waited for the server to come back and mentioned that to him. He asked me if I wanted it warmed up. I said no and just ordered something else. I got the carne asada burrito which was ok. Not much steak at all. In the meantime my wife waited for me to get my food while hers was getting cold. Not sure if I'll be back.

    Great place in a strip mall! Complimentary (first round) of guacamole & salsa (more of a taco sauce…read morewith pico de gallo sprinkled on top, super flavorful!) was very good. Chili relleno & cheese enchilada combo - both very tasty with green & red sauces (respectively) that were a tad salty (as mentioned in another review) but I really liked (I hate when I have to add salt). My husband had the al pastor burrito and enjoyed it very much. Yummy house margarita. We'll be back!

    Guacamole Bowl is a little confusing, though has tasty food. The seat that I had (bench) was broken…read moreand I nearly fell as I stood up, and the bench seat popped up (I'm pretty sure it wasn't screwed down). That aside the chips, salsa, beans, and guacamole given right away were tasty. I really appreciated the cups the water was served in. The walls were bright, vibrant, and busy, I liked it here for some reason more than other places. The lunch menu was on the back of the breakfast menu, and was simple, making ordering easy. My son was confused as he had picked an item from a different menu, that wasn't on this lunch menu and chose to pick something else. The service was good, the woman super kind, and attentive. It was quiet, and comfortable. Let's start with the chicken chimichanga! It was tasty! My son was impressed, loved the flavor, texture, and overall experience with the sides. It sparked some memories for him increasing the positive experience. His comparison to previous experiences eating chimichangas was in favor of Guacamole Bowl. The Mole Shredded Beef Enchiladas were really tasty. My only criticism is that the mole was more sweet, and thus less of a bold flavor. The sweetness really changed the dynamic of flavor that you usually get with Mexican food.
