Salsas Locas — Restaurant in Portland

Chili Rellenos. I've had their food twice now, and the 1st time I had Biria (excellent - I'd never had it) because they were out of chili rellenos for another 40 minutes.

I went at lunch, and the place was packed, so I took a bite in the car, then took it home to keep hot, putting it back in the pan three times

By far the largest relleno I'd ever seen, well battered, not too thick - just a thin omelet that didnt fall off the pepper, which, wasn't overcooked at all, and there was a TON of cheese.

The chips and Guacamole is an essential to have with your meal. The horchata is a bit watered down but it is refreshing to have on the side with a hot meal. There is covered seating with a mural along the wall that is a great way to pass time as you chew. Such friendly service and I felt right at home there. Great...
