Mexican Restaurants near Gladstone

“To me it is heartbreaking that the covid has left so many restaurants with no seating inside. I am coming to the point where I will not go back to any place that has no restroom for the public.

Parking: Wonderful parking but no need the lobbies not open. So if you want to go through the drive-thru and come around and park and eat in the parking lot you can. But another part of covid is that no one has outdoor garbage anymore so the garbage from your meal you have to take with you.“

“the la María burrito is amazing the salsas are good the coffee is strong and flavourful even though my order came through between morning and afternoon meat prep they had it ready really quickly“

“Best food ever! 😋 They home make their chips and the salsas. They have the best salsa Verde“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food“

“Awesome tortas! They use great quality ingredients, the way they prepare their chicken is delicious.“

“The best Mexican food around ! Thank you for so much deliciousness !!“

“Oswaldo is a true staple in the Portland culinary community. always providing us with amazing food and creative combinations. thank you“

“My wife brought me here for my 70th birthday. She asked, "where would you like to go?" "Surprise me.", I told her. Oh my! My grandmother from Puebla, Mexico would have loved this place. The tortillas were fresh, Handmade! I ordered the Pozole. Oh so rich and fragrant and bustling with pork, hominy and a very wonderful broth. Did I mention the tortillas?? Oh Lord!! I plan to bring my three adult children here for my son's birthday. I plan to eat my way through the menu, over the course of the next year or so. I can see that there are many others who love this place. The entire time we were having dinner, there was a steady stream of people coming in for takeout. Yep, this is a gem of a restaurant. Come enjoy.“

“Came for the first time on a Saturday night and was not disappointed. The music was good and lots of people dancing. There wasn’t much seating but that was fine since I was on my feet most of the time anyway. Will need to come back and try the food because I hear that’s phenomenal too, staff was super nice and the decor is a vibe. Love the loteria table order cards too!“

“Incredible culinary experience! Each dish is delicious and you will also have a wonderful explanation of the ingredients.“

“deben tener en físico la presentación del menú“

“FINALLY FOUND THE BEST STREET TACOS OF PORTLAND!!!!
Definitely going back and as this was my 1st trip, I'm going to encourage all my taco-fiends to go too! If you're thinking about it, STOP THINKING and just GO!!!! you'll not regret it.
The only con was the Horchata was a little bit too sweet and I had to split mine into 3 servings and add my own milk.“

“they were bomb a.f! no lie! 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Went here for dinner with the family and it was wonderful! Great margaritas, service, and food ❤️ What a gem this place is! Thank you so much for a great experience, we will definitely be back.“

“Great food, atmosphere and awesome service. 😋💕“

“great Food, Great value, Great People. everything I've tried is more amazing than the next. the Spiders, Vampirio, Queso tacos & the Consome spectacular. try the Torta or the Tacos, but be sure to get a side of Consome for dipping. 5 out 5 stars“

“Fast, consistent, friendly, reasonable prices. Good flavors. Good portions of meat. That said, I think you should relabel your “crispy carnitas” as just pork. Carnitas is a very specific thing — more fatty and crispy vs. your drier, leaner pork.“

“Great food, friendly space. This family knows what they are doing, and they do it well. Eat and enjoy.“

“one of the coolest places ive ever been. kinda gives retired community hall vibes with a bit of kill bill energy but like in a chill local pub way. both cinematic and fun! staff was sooo incredibly kind. large menu of very homely and comforting food served on really fancy plates that was strange but worked and made the place feel very loving? idk i really fw this place people should check it out and tip well!!!“

“Absolutely loved Fabos Tacos! I got the Birria plate and horchata. And man it was fire, If you love a flavorful horchata to go along side your amazing tacos and consomé, or just amazing food in general. This place will have you.“

“Delicious tamales! 🫔 Friendly service. We will be back.“

“Great food and great margaritas and the best owners ever!!!!“

“Visited this great new addition to our neighborhood in SW Portland. Have tried the Taco Supreme, Quesadilla, and Cochinita Tacos and look forward to working my way through the other items on the menu. The Cochinita dishes showcase wonderful delicious shredded pork as the protein. The Horchata was also extremely well made and one of the best I've had in Portland. Mama Chio Rocks!“

“To die for food, my family’s new spot for Mexican food!!“

“Delicious and AUTHENTIC food! David was amazing and so friendly! Definitely returning!“

“They are super fun to watch! Talented and wonderful !!“

“Encantada mis amigas y yo fuimos a celebrar el día de las madres y quedamos maravilladas,personal super agradable,ambiente acogedor y una rica comida,de 10 le doy 20 super recomendado y volveremos pronto,todo un show expectacular“

“The place is a little odd and a bit rough around the edges (the menus don't have prices and they don't serve water in glasses, you have to buy a bottle of water), but the tacos were seriously fantastic. Particularly the carnitas--might be the best-tasting carnitas I've ever had. Short menu = food made well.“

“Tried this today and me and my partner both said this is the best burrito we have had in Portland! And we have tried so many! It was so great having a vegan option on the menu instead of having to make alterations to an existing menu item, since I can’t have dairy.“

“Muy ricos los guajolotes de 10 muy recomendables“

“I want to start with saying the people there were really really nice I didn't have service because I ordered my shrimp cocktail to go but I have to say I wasn't crazy about the cocktail sauce if you can call it that. It was more like water All the other food that I saw people eating looked really good. I'm not saying I wouldn't eat there again but I know I won't order the shrimp cocktail. Thankfully I had cocktail sauce at home that I added to it but the shrimp and avocado were good“

“Muy buena comida .. por excelencia y el servicio muy rápido ..“

“Beat tacos this side of the Mississippi!!!! No joke this taco place has the very best flavors and it’s meat are perfectly cooked! I totally recommend piñata takos!!!“

“There are many burrito bowl options within a few blocks but this is the best one hands down.

Meat is generous, lean, tender, not greasy, not gristly. (Photo shows extra meat but it's still generous on the normal serving)“

“Tito's Burritos #1 is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Portland and it is the GO-TO spot for a breakfast burrito.

I have been here multiple times, trying out their plates, burritos and tacos. Everything I have gotten here has tasted amazing. Their breakfast burritos would be the star of the show when it comes to this food cart; not only are there multiple options, but the veggies they include within the burritos are such an amazing addition that is often left out of other breakfast burritos.

Their tacos are sold for a great price of $3 and is my favorite order to get when I want a smaller lunch/dinner. I highly recommend a stop here, you will not be disappointed!“

“We love Nutri taco. They offer great Mexican food and because we are a mixed diet household, one of us can get vegan while the other one eats omni. The rosemary garlic fries are amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone.“

“Pozole delicioso 😋 Primera vez y con gusto volveremos a regresar a seguir probando sus atractivos platillos.“

“You can tell this chef is very passionate about cooking. Each dish is plated so beautifully. The menu is seasonal with high end local produce from the farmers market. The staff is very warm. The interior is very nice, with very nice furniture(eg marble or quartz tables, I believe). It’s not inherently the chefs fault, but at this price point, the food is not what we really crave? Also, we were kind of feeling hungry with such a carb light menu. We just split one medium meat dish, so we do eat less protein than average? But I feel like it’s not enough food for vegetarians fyi. They did GRACIOUSLY make us some handmade tortillas off the menu and essentially didn’t charge us. Plus, we received complementary dessert wine tasting, since we complained about wanting some bread or tortillas. One bummer about this was that no one followed up about our request until we asked three different servers. Overall, I think this could be a great place. But just not for us at the moment.“

“Best homemade sauce!!! Everything is very good. Eat here as much as I can.“

“we just went for the first time. great food, great service and great selection of food. we will definitely go back.“

“I have passed this place a number of times, always saying I need to stop. Well, today was the day. I am very pleased with this discussion. The chicken burrito was delicious. The owner/chef was very friendly. Will not pass without stopping more often.“

“It’s pretty good as taco trucks go“

“Best tacos in town. Hands down.“

“Best burritos in Portland, and the best value. I eat here for lunch at least twice a week. The habanero hot sauce is top notch. Wicked fast service too, usually I place an order and it’s ready before I can get there to pick it up.

I used to live close enough to walk. I’ve since moved further away, to a spot with another burrito place right around the corner. Even so, I still bike here to pick up a burrito for lunch - they’re just that much better.“

“Amazing experience today. I had the special tacos locos with carnitas, like a cheesy gordita crunch and they were phenomenal!! My friend got the carnitas sandwich and said it was delicious. Excellent service as well. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“Their tofu dish with epasote (mushroom) is one of the most delicious Mexican dishes I've ever had, vegan or otherwise.“

“Their Frijoles Puercos is the best thing I have ever had… I’ve never been a huge refried beans fan, but this completely changed my life for the better! 🤣“

“The food here is just amazing.“

“Update:

No better birria in southeast Portland! Usually top quality chile relleno, too. Also, sizable portions here - 1 burrito is nearly 2. Got the tinga plate last nite & was very happy.

(Original post)
This is the spot! Used to visit their old tienda in Gresham when the old folks ran it, before they retired. Still good!“

“I ate at Verde Cocina en la Perla while at a work conferencein Portland, Oregon. The food was so delicious that I build my entire birthday around eating there! I live in Olympia, Washington. It is over an hour drive but I will keep doing it every few months. I had Arro as my bartender and server both times. He treats you like FAMILY, and this place IS family owned. I even was introduced to the creator of the Horchata French Toast dish. It is so good I cry happy tears thinking about it. Please visit for brunch and order it, you will NOT be sad about it. I don't even use syrup on the French toast, because the Horchata sauce is so so good on its own. The chillequilles are so so good with eggs OR tofu. Arro was awesome in helping us select desserts...the flan is so dang good, and it is #vegan! My wife and I are #vegetarian, but when I went with a coworker, he said that the meat dishes are "fire." I had a drink both times, first was the mango margarita. Tastes fresh and delicious! Had the perfect amount of tequila but tasted like juice...😈 I have also ordered the Paloma. I can't tell which one is my favorite!!! Anyways, do yourself a favor and order. Trust me.“
