Iron Horse Restaurant

Order a special!. We've eaten at Iron Horse twice now. 1st visit: We shared the nachos, which were delicious and possessed a unique flavor, which we loved. 2nd visit: I ordered one of the specials - California Enchiladas (choice of meats or cheese filling). They use a creamy avocado sauce instead of traditional enchilada sauce for this dish. It came with your choice of beans, rice and a tiny salad served in a cup.

My boyfriend ordered the Chili Verde, which he also enjoyed.

Only complaint: The tortilla chips are noticeably not house made.

Bottom line: Pleasant experience. Fun atmosphere. Delicious food. Good prices. We will continue to eat here.…

OUTSTANDING!. There are many great things about the Iron Horse. Great cadilac ritas, great food, and great service. The staff are more like friends than just staff. The salsa is far and away the best in Portland. The Iron Horse nachos are very good as well as the carne asada burrito. Two of my faves! If you have never been to the Iron Horse do not pay any attention to the negative reviews. Check it out for yourself, forming your own opinion is always the smartest way to go. remember resturants are kind of like people, they have good days, and sometimes not so good. Even the the not so good days where good for me. Happy Dinning!…

What a Let Down. I went there after my girlfriend had been talking it up for a few weeks. I went with a group of five we were seated as soon as we walked in. We all ordered margarita which were very good, strong and tasty. I split a house burrito and could not eat more then two bites of it. It looked and tasted like something that I would not even feed my dog. I would not recommend to anyone…

Rotten salad--TWICE! Very disappointing!!. I've been to Iron Horse several times in the past year or so, and have always enjoyed the food there. But on a recent lunch visit on a Saturday with a friend, it wasn't busy and the (Asian) waitress was terrible, very disorganized, scattered, and SLOW.

I ordered the Blackened Mahi-Mahi salad, and when it came it was clear the fish was overcooked, but I started in anyway. The cook (I hesitate to use the word "chef" for this meal) used a lettuce spring-mix for the base but it contained numerous ROTTEN leaves (not cooked by the heat of the fish, rotten). I sent it back and requested the same order. How stupid of me, because that's exactly what I got--another batch of rotten salad. Bonus points, at least the fish wasn't overcooked this time. I ate the fish because I didn't want to risk any ill will, but left the rotten salad behind.

My friend and I have eaten there more than once, and he even complimented the owner on one meal we had there. I hope the owner is reading this now, because his employees are going to ruin his business. Rotten salad? Slow, forgetful service?

I was so very, very disappointed, because the Iron Horse has been a favorite of mine and I've recommended it to friends for the Yucatan pork tacos, which are delicious. But this was awful, one of the worst dining experiences I've had.…
