Mi Burrito Authentic Mexican Food — Restaurant in Portland

I was sitting across the street at mobile autoglass while my vehicle was getting a new windshield. Hunger struck as I happened to notice that "Mi Burrito" was across the street. As I was making my way on over, I was mulling over the direction I wanted to take my tastebuds. Once I made it to the counter, the bottom right-hand corner of the menu caught my eye. Could this be? Was I dreaming? A wrinke in time? Was I in a different place?

I know I will receive a ton of flack for this.

But contrary to what most folks think they know--one of a taquerias best kept secrets, is being a purveyor of an All-American Diner Classic: The Cheese Burger.

After a concise but genuine and kind conversation with the host, I felt comfortable knowing that I could indulge in both, a taco, and also in what most would consider a fantasy; A Cheese Burger from a Taqueria.

I ordered 1 Taco Al-Pastor that was cooked to spec, the olores and marinade potent but agreeable. Not to mention the sauce bar that was laden with house made and well-known branded sauces; also present, other required accouterments from pickled jalapeños, carrots, and onions-- to limes. DID I MENTION THEY HAD RANCH IN THIS SAUCE BAR?

I also ordered a cheese burger, but then, hunger--under the guise of inspiration - had me requesting BACON. Luckily, Mi Burrito was equipped and ready for such a whim.

For the sake of you, my readers, I will summarize my Bacon Cheese Burger experience for brevity-- If you watched "The Menu" (Nov. 2022)... the way "Margo" looked while she safely sat hundreds of meters from the blowing up restaurant, as she reintroduced the cheese burger into her mouth after she had savorly used it to barely escape near death. That was pretty close to my experience. (I apologize for the slight spoiler for those of you who were thinking about watching it)

(Pro-tip: On your plate or in the condiment barge, mix some salsa Roja in the ranch for a mildly spicy situation that absolutely belongs on their...

This place was absolutely delicious! They've got serious street taco cred... homemade tortillas ... long marinated pork in a habanero pineapple sauce. It was delicious.

They also offer gluten free options. I know this cause the guy taking our order was barraged by questions from the high maintenance girl with me. She asked about multiple items on the menu, and wouldnt STOP asking questions. This guy at the register was a saint in how patient he was (whats that say about me..? I dated her for about 15 minutes longer....)

their refried beans and taquitos are Gluten free. This is great news for those with gluten sensitivities that still get those mad mexi-cravings.

They're reasonably priced too, which was awesome to see. My advice: Choose a lower maintenance date and Never sacrifice the quality of your grub.

This place offers great flavorful options, all cooked fresh to order. Very Friendly efficient service and they boast a decent sized menu of delicious Mexican treats for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it type of hole in the wall joint.

Get it to go. This place wasnt designed for a very comfy in house...

This is the worst restaurant I think I been to in my life. I rarely even write reviews but this had to be said. The customer service over the phone to order for pick up was lackluster. The cashier seemed very uninterested and frankly quite annoyed with me when I came in to the restaurant for pick up. When I got home and tried the food it was disgusting. The burrito was soggy and hard, as if it was saved from several days prior and re heated. The grilled chicken on the chicken fries and chimichanga was so bland and hard it resembled a rotisserie chicken that had been again saved for several days and reheated, then chopped up in huge chunks. I only ate few bites from both dishes and I had a chronic upset stomach. Leading me to believe that the food was bad/old and inedible. I didn’t take the food back or complain because I didn’t want to deal with the rude customer service. I threw it away and took the loss. I am writing this review because the food does not reflect a 4.6 rating and THAT RATING is what lead me to dine at this establishment. I truly couldn’t give this place a...
