Customer Reviews

On my quest to find truly authentic Mexican food in the Pacific Northwest, I stopped by El Tule Taqueria--and it absolutely delivered! The flavors were bold, fresh, and packed with that homemade feel that's hard to come by. One standout? The Mexican pizza--crispy, cheesy, and perfectly seasoned. It was unlike anything I've had before and seriously addictive. The staff was friendly, the vibe was relaxed, and you can tell they take pride in their food. Definitely a must-visit if you're chasing real-deal Mexican flavor in the PNW.

This one I keep close to my heart. The best mole I've ever eaten (besides El Cardenal in Mexico DF). I recommend the enmoladas. Incredible. We have dinner here when we go to the outlet mall nearby. Helpful if you speak Spanish but everyone speaks English too. They also prefer cash but cards are accepted. You order at the counter and take your drinks to the table with a number and they bring your food out to your table. When you are finished, you pay at the counter by bringing your number with you--tipping is done at the counter, too.

We regularly drive 40 minutes on the weekend to have breakfast here. All the dishes are authentic and very delicious. We love the Enmoladas, Chilaquiles, Chile Rellenos, and more..

Best beans and horchata I've ever had. The tortillas are fresh and handmade. We ordered a huitlacoche quesadilla after seeing all the other positive reviews. It was DELICIOUS, highly recommend!! I will definitely come back. It's my new favorite restaurant.

Nice and relaxing atmosphere. This was our first visit to the place. The food was good but too plain for my taste. I ordered the tequila shrimp dish. The bean burrito I ordered for my seven year old had good flavor. It was huge. I will return if I go back through Woodburn.
