Ayala Taqueria - HOOD RIVER

One of the best tacos I’ve had in Hood River! They had their own taco sauce that’s different from the standard red and green sauce I’m used to, but it was definitely delicious and not too spicy at all. Went on a sunny day and it’s in the perfect little spot to grab a quick lunch.

This family owned business is one of our favorite spots to go. They have a marvelous variety of dishes to pick from and have daily specials. Depending on your preference, hot or cold, their ceviche is very good and filling. I love their rellenos and their tamales which they make themselves. Everything is awesome...including their salsa and their fresh quacamole. Carlos (father or son) and Diego are often there to make sure that you are taken care of. Their staff is very friendly. When the weather allows, eating out on their patio is so pleasant!!

I asked if they had a lot and they told me not to look at what it says.

Busy day in Hood River with crowded restaurants so this place was last resort as we headed out of town. Turned out to be a great discovery to share with others. I had the tastiest Chili Relleno I have had outside of Mexico. Others in party enjoyed their meals as well. Tables and chairs were rough but service was good.

Our first dinner in Hood River was at this taqueria. Cherry Wonderdog ordered the carne tacos which weren’t especially exciting, and the meat mixture interior was not particularly filling. We needed to order a shrimp burrito on top, and it was MUCH better. One out of two isn’t bad.
