  Always good quality food. They have the best coke and beans. The specials are good. It's open 24/7... recommended.

  I would love to give this place 5 stars for taste and price but there is about an 80% chance they get the order wrong and I'm not exaggerating. I've been here quite a bit and have to literally bite into my burrito before leaving to make sure it's right. I get mistakes happen but man it's insane how often they screw it up.
  
  Update. I just returned after they messed up another order, got my replacements and they were wrong again. Lowering to 1 star cause this is ridiculous.

  I worked in Vancouver and ate at the Muchas Gracias there and the food was always good.
  
  So now that I work off Barbur I decided to try the one out here.  I have it three tries and that is more than enough.
  
  Today I went for a carne asada burrito and I am not 100% sure what meat was in it.  It was inedible.  I pulled apart the burrito and what I saw was meat that was totally gray in color.  no flavor at all.  
  
  I will never go back there and I think that they need to have a food inspector take a gander at this place.

  Here's a fun thing: if you're day feels mundane and you're bored out of your mind, come here. Eat the food, then go back to work/home. The rest of the day you can play "Is it a fart, or am I gonna shit my pants?!" It's a fun game, brought to you buy slightly warm refried beans, and barely reheated meat.
  
  How is this place so incredibly popular that they have locations throughout the area? Are there really that many people who love bland food, canned products, and not-hot (temperature) food? I thought Portland was known to be a foodie town? So how has this place thrived?
  
  I made 3 bad choices today, let me tell you about them:
  
  1.) I ordered the shredded beef crispy taco. Now, imagine taking a pot roast, throwing in the crockpot and cooking it. That's all you did to it. You didn't add any seasoning, beef stock, vegetables, or anything. You just simply put the beef in, and cooked it. Voila! You've got their shredded beef. The plain, greasy taco shell had more flavor.
  
  2.) I ordered the chicken enchiladas. Lo and behold, the chicken had some flavor. But the enchiladas sauce was straight from a can. They didn't even try to hide it by adding anything to it. Just microwaved, canned enchilada sauce.
  
  3.) I ate the beans that came with it. Yuck! It wasn't even warm, and again canned. How has the State of Oregon not closed down these locations yet?!?
  
  The entire meal was barely warm... the shredded cheese wouldn't melt. Cheese, finely shredded out of a bag, wouldn't melt. So either I'm right, and the food isn't up to temp, or the cheese they use is some sort of hybrid, strong against heat, kind of strain of cheese.
  
  Now, I'm going to nitpick... if you're going to offer cilantro at a salsa bar, at least de-stem it, and chop it up. C'mon man!!!
  
  Again, it is a fun game to see if you can get home in rush hour traffic before you explode all over your leather seats, but it's not a game you want to play again. Trust me! You have been warned!

  Fast food Mexican for sure. My other half thinks it's convenient and cheap I found it to be gross and stomach destroying.
