EL MORENO chicken & grill — Restaurant in Woodburn

This place is an absolute treasure. If you're craving real-deal grilled meat with authentic flavors, this place delivers. The pollo al carbón is next-level—smoky, juicy, perfectly charred, and packed with that irresistible backyard-grill taste. The charros beans and arroz that come with it are the perfect complements—simple, and satisfying.

But don’t stop at the chicken. Their costilla (rib) sandwich is a flavor bomb. And if you're into tacos, these are handmade tortillas done right with options like pastor, steak, or tripa.

Everything I've tried felt fresh, the portions are generous, and the service is always friendly. It's casual, fast, and full of flavor. And if you're visiting on the weekend, try the pozole verde—it’s rich, and comforting.

Finally, the agua de jamaica was perfect, you know how people be adding hella sugar to their aguas making them taste like kool-aid? This agua de jamaica is perfectly sweet while allowing the natural tartness of jamaica to shine through and be a perfect wrap to a rich and...

I went on Sunday with my dad to have some dinner here and it did not disappoint! First off I want to say that the lady there was super attentive and generous. Answered all our questions and provided us with excellent service. We tried the wings and the rib sandwich, which was delicious!! Will be back again and I recommend anyone to come here and try this out, won’t disappoint!! Also the salsas were GOOD, my favorite was the guac sauce that I dipped my chips in.

Muchas gracias a la señoría que nos atendió el Domingo cuando fui con mi papá....
