El Trio Loco - Gearhart

Looks like a hole in the wall. Interior decor is very well done. Nice, but not fancy. Food was good. They have burgers and chicken strips in case your kid doesn't like Mexican food. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

We are Mexican so the food isn’t authentic. Very generic rice and beans and flavors. Large portions. The cHips and salsa were bland. Dinner time is slow service. Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

I love the booths and the tile work. All the Mexican kitsch is great. I got the El Trio Loco. The shrimp were overcooked rubber, barely edible. The carne asada was quite tasty, and the pollo asada was amazing. Made for some good leftovers. The beans and rice were solid good. My kids got the small chicken burrito, which wasn't that good. Tighten up that chicken burrito, amigos. In any case, real good if you get the right menu items. And I have no idea what was going on with the shrimp, but that's just not good eats. The chips and salsa were quite good, although the salsa was really thin, like a seasoned v8 juice. Your base should be crushed tomatoes, mi familia. Even so, it was good enough for three of us to plow through two baskets of chips like the gringos we are. I'd come here again, just avoiding the shredded chicken and the shrimp. Any dish with the word asada in it and you should be golden.

Best service. Stopped on our way to Oregon. We ordered takeout that was packed very systematically. The food was great as well. Imo, quantity was slightly more than average. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
