Absolutely the best in the PNW area!!!

by mommyto6

Afer living 40+ years in Southern Cal, visiting Baja often, I LOVE taco shops!! We moved to WA 6 years ago and was in deep with taco shop withdrawl...then we found Muchas Gracias!! OMG it's the best - its tastes exactly like what I grew up with...and now we drive 2+ hours every couple months to get our fix :-) The only thing I wish they could improve upon is adding locations above the Vancouver area! All the Mexican food in the Seattle/Kitsap areas are from the Mid-Mexico region...definately a different taste from Baja!!

• Pros: Reminds me of "home" Can't beat the food!!
• Cons: Can't think of a single one!

Way better off at Taco Bell...

by jackolala

Service was fast. Price was fair. Portions were large. And none of that was worth ANYTHING because this was the single worst Mexican food I can remember having. Chicken taco was tasteless and grissly. Beans were straight out of a can and a disgusting gray color. Rice was ok but also pretty tasteless.. And my tastebuds are working fine!!! Restaurant was clean, but four walls had not a single picture to look at. No plants, no framed art, no character, no nothing. Guess that's Vancouver for ya!

Don't Go Anywhere Else For Mexican Food

by Deathrocker

Huge portions, and if you order extra anything, be aware... They REALLY hook you up. They're also faster than any other fast food ever. I've watched the cookes behind the counter making food and it's like they're robots or something! You truly do get your money's worth. If you choose Taco Bell over this place, you're insane. Fact: Five tacos from TB won't fill you up as much as MG's Carne Asada Nachos for about the same price, plus their ingredients are much more flavorful. I recommend checking out their full brochure menu to see what a huge variety they really have. The only reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five is because someimtes they don't mark similar items. For example, my boyfriend and I ordered the same thing, only he wanted no guacamole because he's highly allergic. They didn't mark either one, so we had to kind of guess which was which.

• Pros: Huge portions, you get your money's worth, faster than any other fast food chain
• Cons: Sometimes they don't mark similar items

OREGON BURRITO

by OregonBurrito

There once was ancient Aztec tribe who didnt have any food so they prayed to the food god and he or she, we are not sure if it was man or woman, gave them the OREGON BURRITO. The Oregon burrito is the most superior food to all other foods. Picture this a warm piece of tortilla with lots of good meat chunks and cheese and sour cream. It is so good. I like to eat my Oregon burrito in the shower. Where do you like to eat yours. PS i married one! The honeymoon was AMAZING. I order my Oregon's with no salsa and sour cream. Just like my honeymoon. The best decision that you could make right now would be to go and get you a big fatty Oregon Burrito Mutha Licker!

Best in the area!

by pdxtom

I hate to sound like one of those people who claims to know better than anyone else what good Mexican food is all about (authentic, the real deal, traditional etc) but I can tell you that I do some traveling and have eaten WAY more than my share of Mexican fare in Matamoros, Tijuana, Ensenada, Southern California, Southwest Texas etc etc and Muchas Gracias could fit right in with the best of them.

Nothing fancy or upscale; Just traditional down-to-earth Mexican food with the sort of flavors that old time Mexican food addicts expect when they travel south of the border or eat in one of the states that borders Mexico.

Everything is always fresh, the portions are generous and the menu has grown over time to include nearly every favorite that you could want.

The stand-outs; The Machaca is as good as I've had anywhere and the Burritos are just plain wonderful.

I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

• Pros: Freshness, portions, speedy service
• Cons: No salads...but who cares!

muchas gracias, Muchas Gracias!

by seanpdx

Muchas Gracias is AWESOME!

Their chicken burrito was filled with nothing but MEAT! Tacos are great, more meat(carne beef) and lettuce and shredded cheese. You can doctor them up as you want but I just loved the simplicity and generous helpings of good quality meat in their dishes. The taco shells are fried as ordered and no greasy. I will check out more in the very near future!

• Pros: Tacos, burritos
• Cons: nada

Simply the best.

by dfh2006

Well folks having been born in the San Diego area and lived in Arizona for 15 years this is the real deal. Simply the best Mexican food. There is also one on Mill Plain and they just opened a new store on NE 102nd in Portland (Gateway area) by Fred Meyer. Just give them a try you won`t be sorry. Carne Asada to die for. Honestly I can`t think of one item I tried that I was unhappy with... Fast and friendly service is also a plus.

The Best Burrito in Portland/Vancouver

by markobear1

Muchas Gracis serves the best burrito in the area. Whether you like the asada ,carnitas or the chile rellenos burrito, you will not be disappointed. They serve the food either for consumption there or to-go. It's serve hot, fast, friendly and the price almost laughable. Not much on ambience but you can't win em all..

So if you find youself in the 'Couv, make.sure you make room for a trip to the Muchas Gracias at any of their several locations.

• Pros: Food, Price, Service
• Cons: Ambience
