I recently had dinner at Xalisco Latin Cuisine in Redmond, Oregon. I’ve eaten here before and it’s a place I recommend to locals and visitors.

This time, I had the Tacos de Camaron of Mezcal dish. The three tortillas are filled with a mixture of shrimp cooked in garlic and peppers and flambeed with mezcal and peanut sauce, chile pepper, and pineapple. It’s served with slices of cucumber and radishes, cilantro, plus two sauces. They were bursting with flavor.

I splurged and had a Margarita Flight. The flavors included hibiscus, tamarind, mango, and guava. They were all tasty, and I liked how they didn’t have way too much alcohol.

Two people at our table ordered burritos. The Burrito Percherons were a nice size and tasted great. Some restaurants fill them too full and they’re hard to eat. This burrito includes skirt steak, chorizo, peppers, onions, portabello mushrooms, guacamole, cream, pico de gallo, cheese, and chipolte sauce.

The nicely presented Chiles Rellenos also tasted good.

The Chimichanga, with a side of rice and beans, was tasty. The serving size was perfect; not too big and not too small.

If you’re looking for a Latin restaurant that focuses on quality over quantity, go to Xalisco Latin Cuisine. It’s at 3835 SW 21st STE 105, Redmond, Oregon.
