“ Passing through town heading to PDX motels booked so found one down the street. We were told to go eat at this Mexican food restaurant. I think it was tasty, affordable,and just the right quantity definitely a family vibe with amazing tile work. The outside does not give the inside enough credit. ”

“ My family and I have been going to this delicious establishment for over 10 years. Everyone has always been so kind, and the service is fantastic!! I don't have a single complaint. I just wish we lived closer to the restaurant. The food draws us in even from out of town! Although we aren't able to go very often, we visit several times each year. Some of my family members met up there 4/28/24, and after we all finished our food, several of us ordered extra to take home for leftovers. We love the carnitas, menudo, carne asada, chicken, birria, tacos, salsa, burritos, sopes, beans and rice, taquitos, enchiladas, and so much more. I am definitely addicted and will continue to go back as often as possible!!! Thank you so much El Grullense staff!!! You are amazing and very much appreciated!!! ”
