Calle 21 — Restaurant in Portland

What a great addition to the neighborhood. Inexpensive, large portions of reliable burritos, great “happy hour” combos, and friendly staff.

The space is light and bright and spacious. The bar is a great option for seating as well and in nice weather, tables outside. I’ve been here now 4 or 5 times since they opened and every time, it hits the mark.

For food this cheap, you accept some negatives… like the refried beans which are far too thick and uninteresting. And the rice which feels like an after thought. But the star here is the burrito. I’ve ordered a different one each time. So far, the super azteca is my fav with a chili relleno stuffed inside!

For $21, you can get a giant burrito (always lasts me two meals), small portion of chips and salsa (chips and salsa are NOT free here, but the food is so cheap, you can just pay for it.) a beer, and a shot of tequila. Not Cuervo gold.. casa migos. Hornitos blanco….

My bonus kiddo got a super carne quesadilla the last time we came. It hung off the platter. It’s massive and full of meat. Get your protein on, folks.

This place serves massive plates reasonably priced. TV’s for watching sports. Friendly staff. Never a wait. Please eat here so they stay around.

Also- to go is a solid option and pretty quick turn around. They didn’t give me side eye for sliding in in my sweats and hair in a bun looking a mess. Just smiled and gave me my food!! A girl has needs,...

downgraded my previous 5 star review based on utterly abysmal service and poor treatment on a second visit during a not busy at all Monday night. probably not revisiting. The biggest downside of this place is the balance between bartending vs serving duties (or maybe hire another person). My advice to patrons would be, if you see more than 2 people sat at the bar that means you are going to get very poor table service and should probably go elsewhere. …

overall I thought this place was excellent. good value for money. great service , our waiter guy (young chap wearing white air force ones) was super gracious, nice and polite and food was excellent for the price. The carnitas were superb. well recommended. Food was quick and good portion sizes. Guac was great and lots of chips, expected for $9 guac and chips to be fair. The environment is casual and they have quite a few drinks / beer food specials. They have typical beers including NA and a margarita menu. I cannot comment on the margaritas. Seating outside is nice. Inside could be louder for those sensitive because it does seem like all tile. The other great thing is there are lots of desserts options close by for that sweet tooth afters I will return. thumbs up Also the closing time is the bomb 10pm. keep that up, we need more of...

Food was pretty good as far as everything goes for food. However, service needs improvement!

When we walked in no one was there so we just grabbed a menu and waited. She then said we could sit wherever. From ordering to getting our food it was pretty fast; however, and older gentlemen showed up about right when we got our food— and the lady completely ignored him.

He waited for 15-20 minutes and came out numerous times to check in with us, get us a new bill, offer another marg but never once addressed the gentlemen.

This not only affected his experience, but ours too as it makes us question if that could be us possibly the next time we come. Idk seems like yall need to hire better servers, or more staff (we were one of two groups present so more staff clearly wouldn’t fix this ladies...
