Restaurantji's Happy Valley guide: Where to find the best Mexican flavors. Experience the city's best with Street Tacos, Birria, Birria Tacos, and more.
“Delicious Cali burrito and their pastor is top notch. We try A LOT of Mexican food and food trucks in the Portland area and their pastor is definitely very high up on the "Best in Portland" list for sure.They are very friendly and welcoming here.“
“What a great meal. We went for lunch and my wife and had the vegetarian burrito platter. It was giant! And ate the whole thing, all the food was prepared very well and it had excellent flavor. A lot of Mexican style restaurants have very bland and over cooked food. These folks prep and cook correctly, they are polite, the place is immaculate and the decor is wonderful. Try it out, I’ll be back. I forgot to take a picture.“
“First time dining there yesterday and am so glad we went! The food was so good! I ordered a wet asada chimichanga and my wife ordered the asada tacos. Everything was delicious! The cucumber jalapeno margarita was phenomenal as well! Definitely one my new top favorite places to eat!“
“Food and cocktails were great. Service was great. My only complaint is that I had to wash everything I wore, including my coat. I had to leave my leather handbag in the garage to air out. It seems like this location needs to upgrade their exhaust system. I will try another location, but won't go back to the Happy Valley location.“
“Small cute venue with authentic delicious food, the staff was very nice & attentive. I had the Beef Taquitos, it came with 4 street taco sized, with sour cream & lettuce on top, green salsa on the side, they were delicious. My son had 1 beef taco on the side & he enjoyed all of it.“
“Friend and I stopped in for a weekday lunch and were blown away by the fast service and delicious food/cocktails. Our food came out quickly and steaming hot. Plus the fried ice cream was perfect with a large enough portion to share. The patio seating was pleasant and indoor decor is nice, I would love to return during dinner hours sometime.We had crema enchiladas, elote, queso, fried ice cream, Jamaican marg, and piña colada. Would absolutely recommend all.“
“I've always really enjoyed eating at Tamale Boy's Portland locations. While in the area, I stopped by the Happy Valley location for the first time for dine in. I noticed a big difference in my experience here as the salsas (which are usually left out for you to bring to your table in Portland), were kept behind the counter and rationed off into three of the tiniest plastic containers. Despite this being a completely unnecessary consumption of single use plastics, I felt like I was unable to fully enjoy my meal and use the amount of salsa I want... (I promise I don't always drown my food in salsa).Considering I chose to dine in to utilize the very tasty salsas as I've done at TB's Portland locations countless of times, this was a bit disappointing. Additionally, the usual veggies for the burrito were served on the side for some reason instead of included into the wrapped burrito. A bit odd but not the end of the world.Overall, I left feeling a bit disappointed considering I've only ever had incredible experiences at their Portland locations but the food is overall pretty great and reasonably priced!“
“The tacos and burritos are delicious! The bean and cheese and Chilli Reyanos burritos are big and they hook the tacos up with a lot of meat, cilantro and onions. They don't charge for sauce and lime wedges...The only time I wasn't very satisfied was when I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito, ate half of it and stopped as the portion size of the ingredients kind of ruined it. Too greasy.I'm definitely going back there. Its the neighborhoods late night food spot. Great prices and friendly and reliable service.Parking: Gravel parking lot... No lines.“
“I’m in a rut! When I visit HV Food carts, I make a beeline to Fuego All Day (FAD). It’s the Birria Tacos with a side of House Queso and chips. The birria tacos always hit! The queso (with or without the chorizo) makes the meal complete. I’ve been to HV Food carts when FAD was closed for a catering event. Don’t get me wrong - the food’s good, but it was not the Birria tacos from FAD! The only thing missing tonight was the roasted hot pepper! Thanks for the consistently good food!“
“Was here on opening day. Laughing planet is a great place to have a unique rice bowl or burrito. They now have GF tortilla's!Vegetarian options: There are a lot of options to swap out meat for tofu or tempeh. Find a favorite bowl and mix in something scrumptious.“
“Not that this was Bad or Terrible. However, I need to remember that this is fast food & not really a sit down dinner/restaurant & I shouldn't expect it to be. I enjoyed what I had, but about 40 minutes after I ate my food, I was extremely sick in the restroom for about 3 hours. Got pretty dehydrated & just felt Blah. I still enjoy a couple things from their menu, I just need to remember to have it be Few & Far between visits! I do like the guacamole & chips regardless...pretty good for a drive thru.“
“First time trying here and wow it was so delicious considering it’s a fast food Mexican restaurant. We dined in and the cashier was very friendly and we got our food fast. The chips and Queso very tasty it came out hot and fresh. My husband had the shredded beef chimichanga and it was huge. He said he will definitely eat here again. I ate the steak quesadilla and oh boy it had a buttery taste with lots of melted cheese. Steak portion was perfect and yummy. In the restaurant the bathrooms and dining area was clean. If your in a hurry there’s a drive through ?“
“this location has always had friendly customer service, delicious food and a great playlist... it's always been clean, it's usually the same 2 employees, and they are very personable and a pleasure. The food never disappoints and they makes THE BEST burritos.“
“this place is awesome!! Guilhermo is an incridible owner and the food is the best food in town. There's no way to go wrong with thier carne assada guys!! whatever you buy from here you won't regret.Kid-friendliness: every time I get my kids in, we have no complaints.“
