Editorial Review for Aqui Mexican Cafe – by Lily Fu

In Short
Wooden tables and chairs with sarape-style fabrics fill the spacious room with a red floor. An outdoor patio hosts casual diners for a cheap bite or cold beers on a warm day. The menu features salads, soft tacos and burritos, as well as a list of specialty items, including jalapeno mac and cheese and a chicken enchilada casserole--chicken and corn tortilla baked with corn, green chilies and cheese.

I just went there for the second time and WOW! Atmosphere is amazing, cozy and feels like home. I just took a first date there and was very comfertable. I live on the west side and rarely frequent the east for anything except for the rose garden, but I will go out of my way to go back here again. The room with the couch in the back and the outdoor section is the place to be!

I was in Portland for a couple days on my way driving through to Seattle from Southern California. I took a quick look on Citysearch and found this place. Easy to get find (for an out of towner), very affordable. Dinner for 2 w/ drinks cost $35. I had the chicken enchilada casserole and house margarita. I was able to grab a table at 8pm on a Friday night with only a 2 minute wait. The place is small, but I recommend sitting on the patio. Good music, fun atmosphere.
