Hole in the wall vibes on the outside but a clean and modern interior with the classics at classic prices. Definitely the cheapest sit down Mexican food I've found in the area. Definitely will come back if I'm in the ar

Love this place! The interior is clean and welcoming, and the food is hot and fresh. Rita took care of us last night and she was FANTASTIC. She was so friendly and quick. And VERY accommodating to my family's (tbh pretty ridiculous) special requests. Thank you!

DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER In an older strip mall on Mcloughlin in Oak Grove sits J&R Mexican Food. A Quintessential hole in the wall place. Except it's not! It is cute inside, clean, with friendly and gracious service. Jose and Rachel make delicious, authentic, meals of generous portions. Their house made smoky salsa is the bomb. I had the burrito bowl with Al Pastor. Delish! So happy to find a good place in Milwaukie. Can't wait to try more of the menu! 5 stars.

What a great surprise! On the outside, it does not look like much, but the inside is remodeled and very clean. There are plenty of tables to dine inside. The staff were very kind. They make their own horchata in-house. They have a good selection of bottled beers. FANTASTIC nachos!!! Highly recommend! Their chips are fried tortillas. You can add toppings. They did not drench them with too much cheese so the chips did not get soggy. The toppings were evenly distributed. I have the asada nachos. The street tacos were also tasty and served on handmade tortillas. They have great salsa as well! One green and the other red. The red has more spice.

My wife and I tried this restaurant a few months ago and really liked it. We finally just now got a chance to come back. We love the food, the clean and simple atmosphere plus the great desserts. The employees are extremely friendly and helpful as well, which always makes the experience that much better. Love their house made chips and salsa. Both of their table sauces are good but we like the green the best. This place is really accommodating to requests so give it a try!!
