This should be 3.5 stars and it’s a hard review because the food was wonderful but the seating was not. We got there later in the evening with 11 people, and they were not put tables together, even though the same server served all of us and there was no one else in the outdoor seating area in which they seated us The food was great. why I highly recommend the pork Carnitas tacos. They were absolutely delicious with crunchy edges. The brisket tacos were also very good and they were very generous with the amount of meat in the tacos. We also had the queso and guacamole and chips expensive, but I would say worth it Our server’s name was Wilson. He was wonderful.

My favorite place when I come to Portland Maine. Amazing smoked meat that is perfectly seasoned, tender and not overly fatty, in other words meat perfection. And I am not a big meat eater but this meat is the one I choose to eat on every visit. I dream of dinning here! They also have amazing margaritas. Even the frozen ones are amazing - the last one I had was coconut blueberry. And I still think about it! The service is warm and friendly. The atmosphere is fun & festive, lots of outdoor seating- covered and uncovered, fairy lights and fun vibes. This place is amazing as is their sister brunch spot and the new to go spot nextdoor. This place makes me want to move to Portland Maine. Thank you for ALL you do!

I've dined at this restaurant several times before and always had a great experience, which is why I was surprised by how my most recent visit unfolded. I joined some friends for a night out while navigating a food elimination diet. I knew my options would be limited, so I politely asked the server if I could get something simple—just a plate of lettuce with avocado and a side of olive oil. I didn’t think it was a big ask, but the initial response was a bit discouraging. The server mentioned they don't usually make accommodations, which seemed a little rigid for such a basic request. After checking with the kitchen, he returned and said they didn’t have olive oil, which I found surprising. Olive oil is a pretty standard ingredient, and it made me wonder what kind of oils are being used in the kitchen. That said, they did agree to prepare the lettuce and avocado, which I appreciated. The dish that came out was simple, but honestly, it was tasty and I was grateful to have something I could eat while enjoying the evening with friends. The disappointment came with the bill. I was charged $19 for my plate of lettuce and half an avocado—the same price my friends paid for fully loaded salads with protein, cheese, and other toppings. That part felt off. I was expecting a discount, maybe a more appropriate price for a minimal request. It just didn’t sit right being charged the same for something so vastly different. I hope this feedback encourages a little more flexibility and attentiveness in the future. Two stars this time, but I might be open to giving it another chance after this experience wears off.

We stopped into Terlingua while visiting Portland with friends and had a great experience on a cold, rainy day. The food and drinks were excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we came back the next day to sit at the bar, where we met some great people and had another amazing time.
