I've gone here out of necessity. the advanced extracts cartridges were on sale for $25/g then a couple weeks later went down to $19/g the price was right but the quality sucked! The oil tasted like grass clippings, didn't work very well, was harsh and black. The cartridges are unreliable and will go out on you at times, however the one good thing I can say is that barring your time (and if you smoke for pain relief like me... your pain and suffering from not having meds) they will exchange the cartridge for free. all together, I think the service was ok except for some minor snags with locking the oil in the safe and not having the key on hand. kinda puts a damper on business when you can't sell your products. I can't speak to the quality of the bud, but the advanced extracts is #booty

La Mota Southeast Portland
Ratings and reviews of La Mota Southeast Portland
I've been to La Mota on 52nd 4 times. The staff were welcoming, helpful, and patient each time. I think the best part of my La Mota experiences has been that the staff is fine with me spending some time looking at the menu and asking to see/smell/compare different strains. There's a whole wall of jars full of buds. The decor is kind of plain (sort of "institutional" feeling) and isn't necessarily inviting but they keep the lights appropriately low and there's usually music playing to soften the mood. Despite the "cold" first impression, I've found the simplicity to be an asset. It creates a distraction-free shopping environment. Its a pleasant contrast to the barrage of clutter so common in the retail world. There are several car parking spaces beside the building and 2 bike racks out front.
I've been to many many dispensaries in Oregon, and do no go to this one. Besides the price, the atmosphere and bud tenders need more maturity and need to know more. Did I mention the price?! It's outrageous. I went here before the taxes set in and they were competitive-not anymore.
these girls are the sweetest, lovely group of lady's that have the knowledge and beauty to boot...
I love how half of the complaints on this are customer service related and instead of realizing their employees suck at customer service, they go after the customer. Please save your Money, Time and Grief and just read the reviews even on Leafly its almost more bad than good. The owners responded to my prior post saying im after "Free Weed" the truth is I would smoke shake before I ever went here! Their 5 dollar gram is a joke and if you dont like it good luck getting them to right their wrong! Lastly they created a google account in my name and added a comment begging them not to "Ban" me, that comment is being investigated by Google and being removed. My point is, you should be able to give an honest review about a company with out being asked to meet up and "settle this". Bad business all around. But they do not care, just accusations and threats.
I really wanted to like this place. At first their selection is a little overwhelming but it's nice because they have print outs with their inventory... The problem is I think they have the print outs to make up for the lack of help from the bud tenders. I was rushed out and ignored by my bud tender (can't remember her name) service here compared to other dispensaries with better prices is not worth the trip.
Aswesome staff, very friendly! Usually come in to get their medical concentrates. Have been coming here for oil for a good long time, and will continue to do so!
I have never written a bad review for a dispensary, until now. The AK-47 I bought (which is my favorite strain) was nothing but stems. I'm not really sure it was AK-47, and I know for a fact that the label was not accurate- this was NOT 26% bud. The lady behind the front counter was great. I was not pleased with the gentleman in the back who weighed me out the stems I received. I'm going to be checking into their testing facility as well. Something is wrong at this dispensary.
I always have a calm and lovely experience when I go here. The selection is amazing, especially their long list of Co2 cartridges. I highly recommend shopping here.
I literally hate going anywhere else. If you haven't smoked Willie Nelson yet, do it immediately. The best part? Their supply stream is steady, reliable and uninterrupted, and the options over 25% THC are superb.
I was impressed when I walked in to the very clean and organized, La Mota. I was greeted w smiles and a knowledgeable staff. I went with classic strain of Blue Dream and Cherry Pie. Both strains were handled with care and top quality. I found the budtenders friendly and open late + 5 blocks away = yes, please. :) Blue Dream was dank and produced a fun, light but pungent high. it was hours and hours before I noticed a come down. Nice for a 20+ yr smoker. Cherry Pie ... well. What's not to love? Potent, piney knock me on my ass tokes. I'll be back. Soon! ;)
I have to drive past 7 other places to come here but this is the place I feel like I get the best deal. They have the whole range so if you buy the cheapest weed that's on you.
Very disappointed in La Mota, did some volunteer work on 420 April 20th with a promised goodie bag, well it's 4/24/16 and still no goodie bag. Feel ripped off it's not that I didn't get what was promised it the G P. I worked ny volunteering and I've been put off for 4 days now. How are we supposed to respect an establishment if they can't keep their word!!!!??????
Just wanted to chime in on the overpriced top shelf herbs others complain about: don't buy them unless you have money to burn, and realize that their lowest shelf frequently offers strains that might be on a top shelf elsewhere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
this place is the shit I won't go anywhere else ever!!!!! they always have great deals and a big selection of flowers
Besides the many selections of bud, the staff here keeps me coming back! Always helpful and patient even when the place is packed shoulder to shoulder. Definitely one of the best spots in the Portland/Clackamas area!
Always a friendly atmosphere. Some of the best bud and kindest smiles I've found. Jake and the green haired girl are just the best!
I have been excited to go into this dispensary for a long time.. Drive by it daily.. However my experience was sort of a let down. Their 100 dollar ounces are reallllly not the best, maybe they were sold out of the good ones. However I was not in there for that, I asked for a gram of the best top shelf they had Thai tannic is what he offered. Not bad but not the best for 12 a gram. I have seen flower elsewhere cheaper and better quality. My containers were mislabeled and that is what irked me. Also when I asked to get my free gram of choice he gave me attitude and said we don't do that anymore and I said okay please take that off your page then. He said people usually prefer prerolls I said I don't like pre rolls so he gave me a cheap cheap gram that I havnt even opened since. So low quality I think I'll gift it. Won't be back. The receptionist and the decor were a highlight- I wish she was helping me instead I probably would have felt like I mattered.
Great selection, terrible pricing for Patients. All the good strains are jacked up in price. These owners are obviously not from Portland. Your on 52 and Flavel/Duke area?? Are you clueless to your area with those prices. Yes yes and yes, greedy shop. Great meds, but a joke $380 for an ounce for a Patient is a rip off.
One of the best dispensaries I've been to in the Portland area. They have the biggest strain selection in Portland, along with a large selection of concentrates. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I was even showed the effects of different strands right off of the computer. Super great service. They also have a very large pre roll selection at very decent prices. I can honestly say I'll never have to try to find another dispensary. This place sold me. Thank you.
The ONLY place i go and trust.
I enjoy the convenience, excellent selection and fun staff to talk to. Lots of selection is the name of the game.
Was packed when I got in. Was really chaotic. over priced. 20$ grams for "high quality" I was un-impressed. there was a select few quality strains but no gram is worth that much.
I love, love LOVE La Mota. There's about 5 that are my absolute favorite (sorry ya'll) but everyone is always very pleasant. After exploring many dispensaries in the Portland Area, I'm so very excited to have discovered this one; and it's in the neighborhood! Genuine customer service, and terrific doja, not to mention always welcoming. The Northeast location is great too!
