La Real Restaurant

In the heart of The Pearl District lies La Real, where the breakfast burrito is so divine, I considered moving in. Fluffy eggs, flavorful carne asada, shredded potato and melted cheese wrapped in a warm tortilla - it's like a comforting hug from your abuela. The taco dorado appetizer is a crispy golden gem. As for the regular burritos, they're big, bold, and bursting with flavor - the superheroes of the taqueria world. Salsa bar is legit with tons of self serve options - the Habanero and Verde are bomb.Full bar and beers - try the Paloma Plus, the food is cheap with quick service so your wallet will be as happy as your taste buds - a rare find in Pearl

This place does the spot after a night out. Got here around 1:00AM before it started picking up. If we showed up 10-15 minutes later we probably would have waited longer. Seemed like there was only two people working around that time.They have a bit of everything that you're craving. Reasonably price with a good amount of food. Quesadilla was exactly what I needed. They have variety of salsa to complement your food.

Dusty. This is repurposed sysco food, not Mexican food made with pride. Sopes were dry biscuits. Guacamole was good. Chips could be good but were room temp, heat would help. Service was friendly. This place is owned or operated by someone that doesn't care. I'm guessing there is someone on this staff or adjacent to ownership that knows it's bad and would like to effect change but the owners lack the imagination or motivation to improve. Let this review speak to you then. It's not worth the time to do something so poorly unless it's a laundering scheme then that's kinda a good idea and it's well done.

Great Mexican food restaurant! I would say an authentic ambience and food. Loved the salsa bar and aguas fescas.

Found this spot while walking by and so glad I did! I ordered the carne en su juego and the horchata. Both were delicious and tasty. So glad I stumbled across this place!

Came for the Torta Ahogada, but apparently it's only available at the Tigard location. If so, they should remove it off the menu.It's not an exaggeration to claim this is a top tier spot for Mexican food in Portland Metro.For starters, they have decent salsa and veggie accouterments bar. Their breakfast burrito includes a key ingredient: crispy potatoes (hash browns), not boiled cubed potatoes. It makes a big difference. I opted for brisket, but you can create it with any of their meats. The pork tamale had very good flavor, but it's small. Kinda resembled Yucatan-style tamales much more than those you'd find at a farmers market.The aqua frescas are only available in one size (not a fan of this no option), but both watermelon and melon were excellent. The pineapple tasted off.Friendly staff and they bring the food to your table.Solid spot.

Order: Tamale (pork), 3 taco comboPros: the place is clean and nice inside. Service was great. The sauces were really good as well. I loved that they served tamales as most dont even offer.Cons: the tamale wasnt bland and lacked seasoning. The taco meat was dry as if it had been sitting for quite some time. The beans were just okay as well. Overall, this was not my favorite Mexican spot.

Could it be....I finally have the Mexican restaurant I've been searching for?! I went in today for a carry-out burrito - rarely do I get a burrito, but it's one of those days. Delicious. I got the express burrito - rice, beans, meat, cilantro onion and it was everything I wanted. Meat was well seasoned, good ratios with rice and beans, salsas were tasty, esp the hot one. Seemed like good quality ingredients.I'm excited to go back and try the tacos. This is all I've wanted. A basic but delicious taco place, with no hipster ingredients like cabbage, pickled everything, or cauliflower....just cilantro and onion with well seasoned meat and fresh ingredients. I think this is it, but can only truly tell once I have my tacos....will report back.Looks like they have happy hour and brunch, and lots of other items on the menu that I'm interested in. Staff was friendly, plenty of room to sit down....looks like it'd be a good chill happy hour.

Have you been searching for that basic Mexican food spot that is reasonably priced? Well La Real restaurant is the spot for you! Ordered the veggie burrito which had the perfect amount of ingredients to make it flavorful. For the price of this burrito, bang for your buck! The horchata was not overly sweet and had more cinnamon flavor. Did not taste watery at all!They had a salsa bar which let me tell you, don't skip on the red orange salsa and the verde salsa. Service was great even though you ordered first and sat down. Food came pretty quick!As for the ambiance, it was definitely cute, however I feel like they could add a little more decor in there.

Stopped and had a burrito while visiting Portland and really enjoyed my meal. The location is great and the service was excellent.
