Michoacan

Small family run place. the beans rice, cheese and red sauce are all great on their own, but they are meant to be together! The flavors all build on each other to make an amazing dish! Whether in a burrito or on the side of tamales perfect compliment! Ample serving of quality chicken breast in the chicken burrito.

Sure seems authentic to me, though I am no expert. Very much a mom-n-pop operation geared toward feeding the local crowd. I love finding this kind of place, but if you're not adventuresome, you should look elsewhere. Steak and tacos were tasty. Beer was cold. Food was freshly prepared. Churros were perfect.

I've been coming to Michoacan for probably 13 years. It's the closest thing to an authentic Mexican restaurant I've found in Portland. I'm the only white guy I've ever seen here. Yes, there's a TV with soccer or telenovelas playing all the time. Yes, there's a fat little chihuahua that doesn't like strangers. That's just like Mexico, so get over it. The food is out of this world. Try the Birria de Chivo, it will blow you away. Everything I've tried is excellent. Handmade tortillas. Everything from scratch. As near as I can tell, everything is done by one woman. Sometimes one of her children is there helping out, but they're all pretty much grown now so you rarely see them. I'm just in awe that one person could keep a whole restaurant going and consistently serve such good food. Tip her well.
