El Ranchito Alegre — Restaurant in Tualatin

I went here for lunch in a Sunday afternoon. It's basically one side of a Mexican store. The atmosphere was typical basic taqueria, with about 10 tables. Several of the tables were dirty when I arrived.

First thing I noticed was there's no prices on the menu board, and no actual menus to look at. This is the second taqueria in Tualatin (the other is Las Casitas) where I've noticed this practice. I don't like it because you have to ask what the price is on each item, and if you don't ask, and just order away, it seems like the prices go up. Also makes me think the prices are whatever they feel like charging you at the moment.

I ordered a Torta with carne asada ($11). It was pretty small, but had good flavor. I did end up having to pick out about 10-12 gristly pieces. I also ordered a can of Coke which was $2.

Overall a very average taqueria. Due to the no pricing thing, and the price of the Torta being a little higher than average for the area, I won't be back. There are too many other better taquerias...

I cannot thank this restaurant enough. With just 30 minutes' notice, they stepped up in an incredible way to save our event after another vendor completely bailed on us. We had over 60 guests, including police officers, expecting food — and this amazing team made and delivered over 200 tacos, quesadillas, and more, all on the fly.

The food was delicious, fresh, and clearly made with care — but just as importantly, the staff was kind, fast, and unbelievably professional under pressure. They turned what could’ve been a disaster into a memorable event for all the right reasons.

This is what true community-minded service looks like. If you're looking for a restaurant that shows up when it counts — with great food and even better people — this is the one. They’ve earned our...

A great place for a vegetarian burrito with lots of vegetables, and they have meats as well. You can order some tacos or something and then look around in the store part. They have many dried herbs on the wall boasting Eucalyptus leaf and dried mint among others. I tried some of the blends namely the Riñosan tea, it was very tastey (I ground up the seeds and steeped those the longest, then added in the other dried herbs). They have lots of things for sale, clay pots, yerba mate (a popular tea from South America), rice, oatmeal, and many fresh fruits and vegetables. Often have a soccer game on, and if you know how to speak Spanish, this is a good place to utilize it, however their English is very...
