Tortillería y Restaurante – El Calentano

About Us

Tortillería y Restaurante El Calentano was born from the heart of a Mexican family with a big dream: to share the authentic flavors of their roots with the local community of Metolius, Oregon.

It all started in a small kitchen, where our mother’s hands shaped each tortilla with love, and family recipes passed down for generations filled the air with warmth. What began as a humble idea between siblings and parents quickly grew into a full-fledged restaurant built on passion, tradition, and the joy of cooking for others.

Today, El Calentano stands not just as a place to eat, but as a place to feel at home — where every taco, tamal, and plate of enchiladas tells a story of family, culture, and love. 📍 570 Jefferson Ave, Metolius, Oregon 97741
