“Vegetarian options: This is a favorite dinner spot for us. The staff are always friendly and upbeat which makes for a great atmosphere. They have incredible tacos and a great menu overall. You can't really go wrong with anything on it. My wife claims the mushroom fajitas are the best vegetarian dish in town.“
“Since they're situated at a gas station, I can't give them full marks for "atmosphere," but they do the best they can. however, the food and service were both outstanding. This food is really, really good. Will definitely put in our regular take-out rotation.Dietary restrictions: One gluten-free and dairy-free eater here, and they accommodated the DF without issue. Delicious!“
“This place is so good!!! We got the chicken burrito and steak burrito. They were big enough to split between the 3 of us. The taste of them both were top notch. Seriously excellent taste. Fresh handmade tortillas??? Yo, you’re trippin if you think this place is mid. Will definitely be coming back to try the habanero sauce. Tried the red and green and was blown away with the flavor for both. Highly recommend!!!“
“The taquitos here are delicious, made with fresh ingredients, seasoned perfectly, and balanced with some veggies and pickled onions. If you come at lunch hour, there can be a bit of a wait as they get a lot of regulars, but it's well worth it, or you can order online.“
“My husband and I were visiting Portland for a basketball game and we decided to stop here the morning after. We arrived early right before the lunch rush. The food was amazing and the owners/ workers showed great hospitality. Food also came quick! Will definitely be back!“
“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.“
“Chilango PDX is the best vegan food cart. Vanessa is so sweet and accommodating. If something is too spicy or not spicy enough, she’ll make you another one. The food is totally five stars and I’m not even a vegan. I’m now bringing all my friends there! Yum!!“
“We live near the French Quarter food cart pod and Taco Express is a cart that we frequent every time we come (and that's often)! The kids love the breakfast burrito, their tacos are delicious, and seriously the fries are the best of anywhere in the Village! Friendly service and convenient hours. Love this place!“
“A food truck with mighty flavors in their tacos! This was featured in netflix so it was a must stop to check out during our portland trip. It's located in Hinterland Bar& food Carts. The truck is at the end of the row, near their version of indoor/outdoor seating..The covered outdoor seating has heat lamps. The dining areaWas nice and cozy during the day. The seating area have a fair amount of seating, self-serve water, and a modest shelter from the wind and rain..I ordered the chopped brisket tacos which consist of brisket and guacamole. The brisket was the epitome of juicy. The tortilla were soft and warm. The brisket flavors together was savory delicious. It's safe to say my tastebuds were seredipity! The size of the tacos are surprisingly deceiving as they leave you feeling a healthy full..I also got the smoked turkey taco with guacamole and it was pleasing to the presentation. The turkey taco had good chunks of white turkey meat. The taco was refreshing too. I wouldn't have thought about smoked turkey tacos as my second choice but it was great to experience something different. It's great being adventurous sStreet parking since it's near a residential area. The server whohanded me my food was nice. The ordering process was a breeze as you order on atablet located at the front of the truck and they text you when your order is ready. Matt'sBBQ Tacos is a revisit when I am craving a snack at the food trucks and l'm looking forward to trying out other creations. Hope this review is helpful and thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day.“

“This is a great neighborhood taqueria. The prices are really good for the quality of the food and the spices on the Al Pastor are some of the best I've had. Burrito bowls are my jam and this burrito bowl is seriously legit. Salsas are also great.“
“The entire place was GORGEOUS. The cocktails were delicious, not too sweet but with many flavor notes. Our server was an absolute peach and kept our drinks secret as we tried to surprise each other with cocktails. The music was rad and we’d def recommend the goat cheese beet plate (oh and they’ll top off your order of deviled eggs to an even number to spare a fight over the last odd egg left) We hope to come back soon!“
“I was in Portland from out of state for a conference and Tacos Frita catered one of the meals. I loved their vegan and gluten free tacos and the pinto beans were the best I've had. I had to have their food again so I went to the food truck. Very nice people, great customer service!“
“The tacos are really tasty (though I have only had the al pastor and chicken), I imagine the others are good as well. The Keto tacos are unique being a fired cheese shell, and are really good. The guacumole is chucky and plentiful both on the side or with their tasty nachos. The Mexican fried rice is a combination Spanish rice and Asian fried rice, very different and good. The burrito takes 2 hands to hold, it is big, also flavorful. I highly recommend eating here, I do at least once a week. The owners are also really nice people!“

“This is the greatest burrito in all of Oregon. I was lost and now I am found. As soon as I took my first bite a single tear formed in my eye, tastiness like I had never known surged through my body. I tried to take a photo but we ate the burritos with such speed that it was simply impossible. The food, the salsa, the atmosphere and the service was the best of anything I've tried in all of Oregon. Please do yourself a favor and go to Taqueria El Paisano.“
“we have been looking for very good Mexican food and not having any luck other than Mestizo. We almost gave up after many fails. We have driven by this place and didn't even know this is where we were going to try next. The best burrito so far in PDX! The only thing we want for the next one is cheese included... I figured that was automatic but I guess not. The burritos were packed full of everything and heavy!! Not gigantic but very good size and fully round like a cylinder, like they should be, a hand held burrito. We tried chicken and asada and they were great, lots of flavor and no fatty pieces. They got my order wrong and were quick to make it right and replace the wrong item. We will be back.“
“This place is bomb bomb. It’s a small, family owned food truck with outside covered sitting options. The food is so delicious reliable each time & the folks making the food are so dear & warm. We come at least 1x a month if not more.“
“Love love love this place!! My girlfriend and I have now tried a couple times and plan on coming more!! We’ve tried the tacos and quesabirria tacos!! And the consome is soo good!! The owner Alejandro and his wife have the best food and service!!*SpanishI love this place!! My girlfriend and I have already treated him about twice, and we loved the tacos, especially the quesabirria ones with consommé!! Thank you very much Mr. Alejandro, to you and your wife, food and service of the best quality!! See you again soon!! Very good food ??“
“BEST VEGAN Ramen ANYWHERE!!I lived in Southern California where LA & San Diego is known for their superior ramen restaurants. (I mentioned this to the owner of this place and he agreed). I’ve been to the “best” ramen places around California and Oregon. This ramen is the BEST I’ve ever had. Hands-down.If you are a vegan, the Tan Tan is just amazing.“
“AMAZING MEXICAN FOOD! (Yep, I meant to yell that.) This is by far the best Mexican food we've had in Portland. Carnitas and Carne Asada both perfectly seasoned. Order the grilled onions and jalapeños. Just do it. We don't drink alcohol, so can't speak to the execution of the several mixed drinks on the menu except to say they are big and look tasty. Ordered take out twice in one week. Tried to order the flan the first time we ordered, but they were sold out. Granted, it was within a hour of closing on a Sunday. Next time - score! Simply yum!! Staff? They were friendly and got our orders out on time. Next time we'll dine in. Churros need to be eaten right out of the kitchen, right? Do yourself a favor and check them out.Parking: Several parking spots next to the building and some street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Street level entrance. No stairs.“
“This is hands down one of the best mexican food trucks I have tried out here in Portland. It's authentic, service is wonderful, and it tastes great every single time. This is literally my go to spot for tacos, chilaquiles, morisqueta and milanesa. They just added asada fries and it's *chef kiss* amazing. A true hidden gem in the NW Portland area.“
“Amazing tacos! Filled to the brim with Carne Asada…wonderful salas. Very nice people…great customer service. She wrapped my tacos beautifully so I could tuck them under my cycling jacket and transport them safely home where I devoured them.“
“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!“
“Came here right after arriving back home from an overseas vacation and craving authentic Mexican food. It was incredible. Tucked away in the less-than-ideal area of Old Town, this is a little gem. It is a small, cozy family run taqueria spot. So far, it is the only taqueria I have found in PDX that has an actual big trompo method of cooking their al pastor (pork). We ordered some al pastor tacos, chorizo tacos, and birria plate (some quesatacos with consomé) and homemade horchata. Everything was so juicy and tender. The al pastor is perfectly marinated and you can only get that charbroiled taste from the trompo. All the tacos have double tortillas, street style to keep the fillings intact. The birria consomé was so rich and flavorful. The chorizo was perfectly spiced and not dry. The homemade horchata is probably the best and creamiest horchata we've had yet. And finally, to top it off their homemade roja and verde chili salsas perfectly complimented everything. This place is now our go-to taqueria for legit authentic trompo al pastor and quesabirria consomé! Will definitely be a returning regular patron!“
“I just have to say this is one of the only places in general… food cart or restaurant where I eat every last drop on my plate. You guys are kind, never have an attitude or expect a thing more than cooking up good food. Found my new favorite place for tacos… you won’t regret eating here, don’t let the location fool you it’s ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Pleasant unassuming coffee shop and Mexican cuisine place. I love that I can get 2 street tacos with a 12oz black drip coffee for under $10!Parking: If you’re lucky you can park right in front, I saw a delivery guy do it, he was in and out.“
“Best Mexican food in the area, fresh food, made quickly with care. Can't tell you how much we love Saul and his cart, they never disappoint, always tasty and generous portions at a very reasonable price. Hope they never leave, we're there at least once a week. We wish them the best with the upgraded new truck, and eating area, more great food!!“
“So happy I finally went to this local food cart! Taco Machine is a little food cart with seating space + a heater provided (huge win for a solo food cart pod)! Alongside this, there is a large selection of tacos and burritos to choose from.I had the breakfast burrito on my visit and it was delicious, I will definitely be back to get some tacos. I highly recommend Taco Machine, it is going to become a normal visit for me!“
“The breakfast tacos are incredible every time. The pork belly, brisket, pulled pork and house made sausage are all tied for my favorite. The flour tortillas are light and fluffy. Thrilled they’re at this new location closer to my house. Have already ordered twice in two weeks ?“
“Though this food cart's menu is heavy on meat, I always get a veggie burrito which is packed with cheese, beans, avocado as well as other veggies. The tasty burrito is huge and is more than I can eat in one sitting. Service is fast and friendly.“
“This is a great place for some real Mexican street food. The last time we grabbed food to go, we got the birria (beef and goat), which are both delicious, and the pozole is also amazing. In addition to the soups, the menu offers a wide variety of tacos, burritos, nachos, and plates (the mole is wonderful). Sahuayo Taqueria is located in the J&Ts Market, so it is more of a "to-go" option than a sit-down type of experience. In the summer, there is outdoor seating.“
“My friends & I wanted to try a New Mexican food joint out & we stumbled upon Fabos Tacos on our search & decided to give it a shot. It's located in China Town. Parking is street parking only, since it's downtown. The restaurant has a cool vibe, more modern with touches of traditional taqueria decor. The food was good! I unfortunately did not get to try the al pastor since we went later in the evening & they didn't have anymore, but they are known for their al pastor. No complaints about the food, everything tasted good. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review is the price, I do feel it is a little expensive especially for the amount of food we got. $4 each for the small sides of beans & rice was a lot in my opinion. As well as $4 for the small cup of horchata I got. The hot sauces were flavorful but lacked heat. Which can be a good or bad thing depending on your preference. Ordering was easy, they had menus at the register. The cashier was nice & friendly & brought our food to our table. Overall, the food was good but I don't know if I'll be coming here often due to the price & it just being far from where I live. But if you are in the downtown/China Town area, definitely give them a try!“
“I love coming here I live nearby and whenever I'm craving authentic Mexican food I come here. Many places nearby don't offer the variety that Kelly's tacos does... the Alpastor they make is delicious and my favorite meat choice. Definitely would recommend Kelly's tacos.“
“Good food , I got the bulgogi and rice as well as the fried chicken , both prepare well. The bulgogi seems like two-three meals, and the chicken was crispy and delicious I recommend try the sauce first to make sure it's right for you. Definitely will be back for a burger“
“I've been here twice now and the food has been consistently good. First time I got the Cali burrito which was tasty, but I do wish the fries were just a little crispier. They seemed just a little undercooked. Second time I got the super nachos with chicken and they were good. A ton of food for a good price. Service is also consistently great and I love all their salsas. Definitely want to come back and try the ramen and queso taco next time.“
“Wow! The best Birria tacos that I’ve ever had! Tender, flavorful meat and the yummiest consommé to dip in. The guacamole and chips was delicious as well. Parking was easy on a side street and the outdoor seating on two sides of the building allow you to catch a breeze while you eat. The staff is awesome too. Try them out….you will not be disappointed.“
“Delicious food. Best torta I've had in Oregon. My husband said his breakfast burrito was phenomenal. The guy who worked the window had such positive energy that it changed my mood( I was having a rough day ) . Literal contagious joy. Truly cannot recommend them enough“
“The best birria I’ve ever had hands down. The consommé was also the best!! Highly recommend trying the PDX Sampler if it is your first time here. The Vampiro is my favorite because it is perfectly crunchy and crispy, chef’s kiss for sure! The hot sauces are so tasty and have the best kick. The pickled onions were so good too. Everything is super tasty and did not disappoint, just go try it NOW!!!“
“This is a small place in an old house with a very cozy, warm and inviting atmosphere. The Mexican food was prepared fresh and the service was speedy and the host and hostess acknowledged my presence right away with a smile. The quesadillas and tacos were a tad spicier than I'm accustomed to (and I'm a wimpy white guy when it comes to spicy food) but the spices made the tacos much more satisfying. Keep up the good work!“

“First time here. Chips and salsa, chicken tacos, pescado tacos. All very delicious. Ordered food to go, ordered a beverage while waiting and didn't even get halfway through before the food was ready. House margarita was really good. Friendly and efficient staff. Fun place. We'll be back.“
“It's tucked behind Cascade Cigar Co. And after having their quesabirria tacos, keto quesabirria, regular taco, the single pizzabirria, and birria ramen, I can confirm this is the best place for any birria craving!! Will definitely be back and recommend to others!!“
“Food and service were very nice. I usually don't drive near Allen & Hall, but tonight I did and was happy to to stop by this truck. Unless you go to a nice food truck pod, most food trucks aren't in a nice setting, so atmosphere was the only downside. Their hottest sauce left a nice lingering tingle on my lips. I might come back just for the sauce!“
“As a sober chick - not only am I grateful, but I am beyond appreciative, that they have nonalcoholic and Mocktail versions of all of their cocktails. I never once felt out of place and for that I have to give five stars. Thank you Brenton for the amazing service and the fantastic mocktails. An amazing birthday celebration for an amazing gal✨“
“Seriously, the best tacos we’ve ever had. Legit so good. Got a shrimp taco and a quesataco. The ingredients are fresh. The birria was perfectly marinated and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. What made the tacos extra special was the crispy but not crunchy corn tortilla. It’s almost like a toasted tortilla. Thoroughly enjoyed this place.“
“If you find yourself at El Nutri Taco, at least on Woodstock, you're probably not there for the atmosphere. That said, it has some outside seating for the summer months and nice days. As for the food, I'm not going to point Mexicanos there saying that la comida es la más auténtica. The meat burritos are decent, on par for "Mexican," Tex-Mex, Chicano food in Portland. The tacos are decent too. However, what El Nutri Taco has over other taquerías in the area is the vegetarian and vegan options, and these options are pretty diverse and tasty, so if you got some vegan friends and you all want to eat at the same place, I would definitely recommend El Nutri Taco.Vegetarian options: Check out the menu, but a lot of the burritos - unless otherwise specified- are vegetarian by default and you can add a meat choice to them.“
“I got Al Pastor & Carnitas street tacos. Kiddo got carnitas gordita, mom got the chicken tacos and we shared an order of the chicken flautas. We all tried everything. I'd pass on the tacos and carnita/al pastor meat in general. Carnitas were bland and fatty and Al Pastor was meh, not bad but not great. Tortillas were very good but not enough cilantro/onion and the limes had 0 juice. That doesnt have anything to do with their cooking but details are important when doing something so simple yet delicious when done right.The flautas were out of this world! 10/10 SO good. The gordita was good and big for the price but I think it would have been perfect with their chicken.I'll come back for the gorditas but filled with chicken and would honestly try other things with chicken as the protein.“
“This is a very cute place with excellent, friendly service. Darcy the bartender is the best! Her cocktails are truly delicious and she definitely deserves a raise! I loved the hibiscus mezcal drink and the shaken pina colada was a delicious dessert. Tasty tacos and welcoming atmosphere. Try the veggie taco, it was actually more flavorful than the meat varieties. I'll be back!“
