My go to for tacos!! Great service and I love the neighborhood ambiance. I would recommend for someone looking for authentic Mexican food.

On a few occasions they didn't open until 15-30 minutes after stated opening time. Okay, they're on par or exceed expectations on many of the common items. But if you want to venture a bit off script then try the Creamed Chicken. Tasty and an ample portion. Employees and owner are very friendly.

A regular stop! Great food, especially the enchiladas and ground beef tacos. Cozy little place that makes you feel like you're in your abuelita's cocina. Sometimes it can take a while to get your food, but that's not really a problem especially if you call your order in ahead of time. Recommended!

We came by on a Sunday shortly after they opened. Service was friendly and the food was great. We look forward to returning and trying more items off the menu. The only negative is that the booths are tight. The place was popular as many more people arrived as we were eating

Friendly, hospitable, and charming staff. Consistency is perfect with true house made meals. My #1

Love this place! Delicious and simple vegetarian options. Their spinach enchilada lunch plate with a side of avocado (very generous portion) is sooo tasty and is the perfect size for me. Very nice homestyle aguas frescas. Friendly, family-owned, adorably duck themed neighborhood gem. :)

I ordered enchiladas with verde sauce and they were excellent, salsa is delicious and the service was great. Awesome value as well, I will be returning in the future!

I had to stop by the Eagle Eye this evening and wanted to grab something quick for dinner before heading home. I've walked past this place when they were open a couple of times because they're between the bar and where I park, so I thought I'd give them a try. As much as I enjoy all the fancy restaurants around Portland with complex flavor profiles and creatively-inclined chefs, this is the sort of place that really makes a city's personality. It feels more like visiting someone's house in terms of atmosphere, with an old TV translating the shows into Spanish and the sounds of sizzling food from the kitchen just behind the counter. I think the most expensive thing on the menu was around $15, although I've had comparable food that cost twice that amount. It seems like they've accrued enough regulars that most people would probably just order at the counter rather than sitting down with a menu and, when people develop that level of rapport with their customers, you know they serve good comfort food. And good comfort food it was. It actually reminds me of the Mexican place back home I've been eating at since I was a kid. The burrito had a lovely blend of asada and melted cheese that creates a sort of filling warmth in the belly. I think it was probably much better than any of the ideas I had floating around in my head of where to go for dinner before I saw it. I'm thankful to have stumbled across it.
