Good solid Mexican food at El Zalsoso. The chile relleno was stuffed generously and the rice and beans are housemade. Friendly staff and quick service.

El Zalsoso is a hidden gem for Mexican food in Happy Valley. The owners have been cooking these recipes for generations. Get the street tacos and the agua fresca.

The tacos al pastor at El Zalsoso are the real deal. Marinated pork, fresh pineapple, and housemade salsa. One of the best Mexican spots in Happy Valley without question.

Amazing enchiladas and the best queso I have had in Happy Valley. El Zalsoso uses traditional recipes and it shows. The margaritas are strong and fresh, not from a mix.

Birria tacos and consomé at El Zalsoso are next level. The meat is braised for hours and the flavor is incredible. Get there early, they sell out on weekends.

Great family Mexican restaurant in Happy Valley. El Zalsoso has huge portions and the chips and salsa are bottomless. The fajitas sizzle comes out perfectly seasoned every time.

I order the carnitas burrito every single time at El Zalsoso. Slow-cooked pork, fresh guac, and the perfect amount of everything. Best value Mexican in Happy Valley.
