We loved service of the owner. The presentation of the food wasn’t great but I do know he had a new cook. The steak burrito I had was was big and very flavorful. The Tortilla soup was a bit on the spicy side for my granddaughter. The grilled asparagus and shrimp dish was really good but a little heavy on the Chipotle for my wife. If we are by that way again I will stop by for another meal.

This hidden treasure is a place you don’t need to go to if you’re in a hurry, or want your traditional sit down restaurant.

Charlie is a gruff adorable owner who will make your mouth happy w/ tamales of every kind. Be patient, find a seat and he will be w/you asap. There is a yellow menu for take out(frozen tamales) or a hot meal on the two regular menus. Frozen tamales come in 4 packs and are individually large. And the margaritas come w/ chili salt on the rim. Great atmosphere and fun to watch Charlie interact w/other customers. Love this place, will return soon!❤

The Google 3 star rating is very, very generous for this freaky joint. Cluttered, dirty, dusty, grimy, soiled. Tiny, VERY OVERPRICED portions. A bizarrely aggressive-turned-scary, short older man who seemed to hate us at first sight. He yelled at his wait staff. His rank body odor funk was at a level that we had to hurry, pay and bolt asap. Foul experience. Surreal, Was it Halloween, was it a nightmare or was it … the Canby Asparagus Farm?

First time trying it, the food is way overpriced the rice was either old or burnt and it tasted funky, too much onion or garlic??? Idk, the beans were whatever, the poblano rajas tamal was inedible I forced myself to take a second bite then threw it away, the chicharrón tamal was edible but the meat was kind of dry, the owner seemed nice to me, but overall I will not be going back.

Don’t bother with this place. Food is overpriced and not good. Was expecting the tamales to be fresh/good, considering it’s in the name, but was extremely disappointed. Much better Mexican food just up the road on Main…

The best tamal I have ever had! Moist masa and plenty of chicken and asparagus filling with green sauce, perfectly cooked and seasoned black beans and Spanish rice. I am definitely coming back!

Great local spot. Quirky, but wholesome. Ordered chips and salsa, chorizo and asparagus plate and one grilled veggie tamale. The asparagus was charred perfectly, the chorizo was crisp, homemade tortillas were warm, salsa was hot and chips were fresh. Plus margaritas were strong. Highly recommend!

At Milwaukie Farmer’s Market location. My omelet was exceptional, loaded with fresh veggies, and worth the wait. His pork tacos were “pretty ok”.

We were served on paper plates, were treated rudely by the owner who said something about flies when we walked in (!) and after he served me the wrong tamale he didn’t follow through by bringing the correct order like he said he would. This was hands down THE WORST dining experience I’ve had anywhere in the world. The food is mediocre at best and is ridiculously over-priced. Bad/rude service. The owner made us feel very unwelcome and we were the only 3 people there in the height of a lunch hour (that was our first sign). Tamales aren’t good and honestly I find frozen store-bought tamales tastier. Spare yourself. I’d give this place a minus review if I could.
