Visiting here from Chicago I came across this place in my visit I order some tacos to go. They are pretty authentic Mexican food. Tacos are a decent size and packed with meat. Looks like they just sprinkle a little onion and cilantro. My main complain is on the guacamole "side" for 6 bucks and no chips. Today is Saturday and the place was pretty packed. Seems alot of people are getting margaritas and steaming steak fajitas in the time I was waiting for the food to come out. I only notice 4-5 waiters for the whole place seems a little under staffed. I also think the tacos are over priced - 5 tacos and a side of guac for 30.?

In regard to some recent bad reviews, I can provide a bit of background. About a month ago, I arrived and parked next to a refrigeration repair truck. I noticed a Closed sign in the door and as I was contemplating what to do next, the technician came over and explained that Pepitas refrigerator had died and that they would be closed for a while and that I should call before coming. A week later my wife and I came for dinner and found they were using a very limited paper menu which did not have my usual entree. The food was in fact not up to par at the one week point. My guess is that they had to discard all of the contents of the refrigerator and were not yet back to normal. A few days ago, we went back and things seem to be fine. The salsa was still different and very hot but my normal entree, a chicken mole burrito, tasted fine. I didn't see the menu because they know our normal order.

Servers are nice and energetic, but some dont speak much english. Decor is very nice and colorful; makes you feel like you're in the jungle. The lighting is dark with nice lit up decorations such as christmas lights and lit up snowflakes (in february). Tables and chair have nice designs, and the booths are comfortable. Prices are reasonable: $5.75 for kids meals, $15-19 for adult meals. Food was served in a decent amount of time. Menu has a decent amount of options. I ordered mole poblano which was described as chocolate chicken. It was not sweet, but maybe that was how it was supposed to be. Complimentary spicy salsa and a big bowl of tortilla chips are given at the beginning of the meal. No complimentary mints or dessert. Meal portions are large. French fries taste saltless. Music is loud spanish radio. Takeout boxes are small.

Amazing place. Sorry no pictures of the food's. The food was amazing, we had the burrito and the fajitas, Chips and salsa. The service was fast and very helpful. We loved the decor it was fun and exciting.

I lived in El Paso, TX for four years and have been looking for an authentic and delicious Mexican food in portland for the past year. So glad my search is finally over. This place is definitely the real deal. The food comes in such great portions and very affordable. The quality of the food was soooooo amazing. Everything was full of flavor and well made. Service was really quick too! Super cute place that's very welcoming. We got the carne asada and man.... It made me carne aHAPPy for the rest of the week. My new favorite restaurant in Beaverton
