50 Best Taco Restaurants near Happy Valley

“awesome food great service“

“There are few "safe" dive bars on 82nd. This is one of them. Still, it's a dive, so don't expect much! Pool table in the front, bar runs the length of the space and a patio out back. If you're looking for food, Mexican food truck in the parking lot. Stop by sometime.“

“Came from Chicago and hands down the best service and food! Definitely recommend!“

“Fabulous venue although I will not be returning as trivia night on Wednesdays has been eliminated. This was my go to place every Wednesday. My happy place, my keep my brain intact, challenge my rivals and see familiar faces place. I'm sad you made this choice, I hope you make better ones next time.“

“Best in S.E. PORTLAND. [Original] Best in S.E. PORTLAND.“

“I absolutely ADORE having Lonchería Los Mayas in my neighborhood. Their food is amazing and you can taste the love and care they put into every dish.

I don’t ever go without getting a Panucho with their amazing Cochinita Pibil. Get one of everything on the menu, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Never disappointed when we get food from Cocina Los Girasoles. Lots of food & great prices!“

“Had 3 tacos of Al pastor. They were flavorful and decently dressed with onions and cilantro. Wasn't busy but I was also given a bsuniess card to phone ahead next time to make it even faster. Im in town for work so im not gonna be a regular but was a great choice for lunch.“

“I purchased lunch for my team at work and every one of us couldn’t get enough. To quote one person “it’s like a flavor party in my mouth!” Is an understatement. All of the flavors were perfectly paired, and not overpowering with one or the other. I can’t wait to get more!“

“Just moved into the area, was stoked to see Harder Days coffee open up; and imagine my surprise when I saw these taco truck and smoothie truck next door.

Enjoying a draft beer or cortado or kombucha while listening to the dulcet tones of Sandy Blvd while you eat your tacos is certainly a bonus, but this review is about the main course.

I ordered a pastor taco and an asada taco. Total came out to $2.50 which is solid these days.

The pastor meat was a tad on the chewy side but not bad at all. Great flavor. Carne asada had a nice chew and char. The tortillas were cooked perfectly and gave a nice texture to the whole thing. Salsa roja was my favorite kind, maybe some type of chile de arbol or something else roasted to give it a nice opaque dark red.

I’ll definitely be coming back here!“

“Best food I've ever had, I could honestly eat here everyday and never get sick of it! 😍 Service is super quick, everyone of the staff members are so kind and the prices are unbeatable! Best restaurant in town!“

“Savory and superb. Always excellent - you must go here! Top notch carnitas.“

“Excellent tacos and margaritas.“

“I recommend this restaurant, I'm coming from Seattle WA with my family and we went to eat there, very good food, good customer service, everything clean. I invite you to visit them, you will love it.“

“Got a basic chicken burrito. I've been going around exploring Mexican restaurants or carts etc lately and I would say this was mediocre. Typical burrito to me it was oversalted. Caveat for me though is I really like a clean and healthy food so I lean toward trying to find burritos like that. Very nice people inside, affordably priced, quick service and a soccer game playing on TV which is a bonus. Would recommend this place just wasn't a five-star experience for me.“

“This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in portland. Absolutely fantastic food and drink- everything we’ve eaten there has been outstanding. And the owners and servers just delightful charming people. I recommend this to everyone!“

“Came here for lunch and made me a forever fan of the brisket tacos. In my over 50 years of life I have never tasted anything that comes close to these tacos! AMAZINGLY PERFECT!! They nailed it!!“

“Decibel is such a great spot. The atmosphere is stylish without trying too hard, and the food was seriously impressive across the board. Highlights for us were the burrata toast with figs, the smoky deviled eggs, and the kale Caesar loaded with flavor and fresh parmesan. Drinks were excellent too — balanced, strong, and beautifully presented. Finished with an incredible lime dessert that was light, creamy, and refreshing. Everything felt thoughtful and high quality. Definitely a place I’ll come back to.“

“My husband and I stopped in for breakfast burritos this morning and they were top tier! The potatoes were crispy and flavorful! Bacon was cooked perfect and idk what cheese they use but wow! There is nothing I hate more than a bland breakfast burrito and this was far from bland! I also have to compliment the red sauce! Wow! It was an unexpected pleasure, so full of flavor! I could tell it was homemade and spiced with LOVE! I WILL be back to try more food from this awesome cart! I have a feeling there is much more to this great spot!!“

“Unbelievably delicious food! 🤤 best spot for authentic Mexican food in OC. Highly recommend!“

“The food was very tasty and we enjoyed sitting out on the patio.“

“deliciosa birria un excelente servicio“

“food is delicious....excellent service..friendly...prices are just right....100% la recomiendo!“

“I love the flavor and style of their burritos (steak burrito is a go-to). Tacos are good. Breakfast burrito is not my favorite. I do think a $14 steak burrito is overpriced for what it is. If they could make it $11 I'd say it was a more fair deal. Nice staff, quick workers.“

“Awesome food and great customer service“

“Love the Tacos and vibe!!“

“Están riquísimos los tacos !!!“

“Beyond Delicious food! Great people at Taqueria 3 hermanos Everyone check them out 😎“

Went here weeks ago with my school. I was here three times with my class. I will come again because the staff are nice and the food tastes tasty and delicious. Big plate but that's okay because we have these to-go boxes.“

“First time visit last night with six of us and they are very nicely opened up the toast restaurant and let us sit in there and we had such a nice evening and the waiter was so friendly and wonderful and really helped us out to get acquainted with the offerings we tried the vegetarian potstickers and also the various vegetarian tacos which were really good. Later we each had a vegetarian Ramen and every single one was delicious and I especially liked the one with the tofu and the hard-boiled egg and the spinach. They brought a small container of warm sake for me which I really liked with a tiny cup I got to choose. OverallI gave it a big 10+ and I would definitely eat there again and probably will go back pretty soon. The main thing is to try to find a time when the parking is not completely full in the area be prepared to park a ways away and walk which is good for us so it really wasn’t a problem.“

“What makes Taco Time so significantly superior to Taco Bell and distinguishes it, in my opinion, is a number of things: most of all, the amount of meat in a crispy taco is at least 3-4 times the amount that Taco Bell puts in their shells, not to mention it just tastes a lot better; mexi-fries - seasoned tater tots; taco salad in a shell, which Taco Bell no longer offers; and finally, their hot sauce is among the best I've tasted, and you can buy a big bottle of one of four kinds of their hot sauces for $4.99. Once you've gone to Taco Time you'll leave Taco Bell in the rearview mirror.“

“I highly recommend 🙏the food is amazing thank you for the sinaloense burrito 🌯 is so amazing 🙏🙏🙏“

“Absolutely amazing ! Service and quality of food is incredible! Everytime ive come here its consistently delicious. One of the best taquerias in gresham/portland area! Also the pumpkin flower quesadillas are too good, if you can give em a try before the season is over❤️“

“We went for lunch it was right next to our hotel. A very small place inside with only countertop seating and picnic tables outside. Good prices only 2.00 per taco, the tacos had so much meat in them! The birria was so tender and spicy they were delicious. The asada and carnitas were good too. I would definitely come back!“

“Asked for a chorizo burrito to replenish energy.
Got a hash brown burrito with chorizo instead.
Burrito is decent, big, very big, but simple, lots of hash brown inside, cheese and chorizo.
I was planning to give a mid review but the salsas made up for the mid burrito, salsa is where it's at.
Make sure to take some on your way out.
Got to try more things from them I guess before I make my mind but it's not a bad place to refuel“

“Can't say much about the food here as I have never tried it but the people who work here are amazing and will take care of you ♥️. I've met the owner and the two who work here and they are great. Amazing conversation every time.“

“Thats some bomb birria! Coworker brought me a taco from this place the other day and I knew I had to check it out! DID NOT DISAPPOINT!“

“Great Mexican food! Muy rico , I loved their tacos Tijuana and torta Tijuana 🥑👌🏾🤤🇲🇽 the Watermelon drink !! I went back yesterday for more 🍉“

“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.“

“Cozy spot to eat“

“Love this place . Me and husband come once a month for dinner. Food is great service is awesome. Won't go anywhere else. We also bought friends here and this is were they come for good Mexican food. This place won't disappoint you.“

“Planning a trip to Oregon and craving the best fry bread we had six years ago—seriously, it was unforgettable. I tracked down the spot using an old photo (thank you, past me!), but it turns out it’s temporarily closed. Anyone know why—or better yet, when it’s reopening?“
