The heart of their menu lies in the incredible variety of tamales—each one a carefully crafted delight.

The Deep Fried Asparagus is a must-try, showcasing the farm-fresh asparagus with a perfect crunch and subtle smoky notes. Complement these dishes with fresh housemade sides like Guacamole, zesty Mango Pico de Gallo, and perfectly seasoned Black Beans, adding depth and balance to every bite.

Refresh your palate with their traditional Horchata, a creamy, cinnamon-hinted Mexican rice water that feels like a comforting, tropical breeze in every sip. For those seeking a lively atmosphere, their “very expensive margaritas” rimmed with chili salt provide both heat and sweet relief, embodying the spirited, fun vibe owners like Charlie so warmly cultivate.

Dining here is an intimate experience—indoors, you’ll find a cozy, casual setting with limited seating, while a few outdoor tables let you soak in the neighborhood feel. The scene buzzes with Charlie’s gruff, yet endearing personality, and his passion shines through in the food and hospitality. Guests appreciate the slow-cooked care evident in every dish, inviting patience and a relaxed mindset to savor the moment. As one loyal customer, Matt, puts it, this is “a hidden treasure” for those who want more than just a quick meal—it’s an edible celebration full of heart and flavor.

Whether you’re drawn by their ever-changing weekly specials—like lamb wrapped in banana leaves at the Beaverton Farmer’s Market—or the rich, sizable portions of their burritos and tamales, Canby Asparagus Farm Casa de Tamales promises an authentic taste journey that leaves your mouth happy and cravings fulfilled.
