50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Oak Grove

“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.“

“They have the best Mexican Food on McGlouphlin blvd. Their Taquitos are excellent alond with their homemade Salsa.“

“Delicious el pastor! Friendly and fast service!“

“This was our second time at De Noche. The food was fantastic like I remembered. We sat at the kitchen counter the last time and I liked that better than the alcove we were put in this time. It's a small place and it felt a bit cramped. I'd recommend the counter for a more rich experience. Food was great. Service was mostly great...Miguel in particular.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food, generous portions. I ordered the shredded chicken taquitos and was very satisfied. Other companions in my group highly recommended the chorizo. Small eatery but can seat larger groups outside (8). Service was a little slow due to the homemade and fresh nature of the dish. So take your time and enjoy. I will definitely go back.“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food“

“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.“

“So good!!!! we eat there every time we come to Portland! The Mt Tabor location is where my girl and I spent most of 2024....and now we're married ❤️“

“I posted these pics after my first visit 11 months ago. I drive Limousines for JMI located in Beaverton. I make it a point to eat at local places while im in that town. I only go to places with more than 4.5 stars. TLM didnt disappoint! I am hoping my original post and pictures viewed more than 60,000 times brought more business“

“Lilia is an absolute gem and my new favorite Portland restaurant. The menu changes weekly based on the freshest ingredients, and every dish bursts with bold flavors and inspiration from across Mexico. The vibe is chill and the staff are sweet and knowledgeable. Music was great (rock en español) and not too loud, so you could have a conversation at your table without yelling (yay!)

We tried the chef’s tasting menu, which included two appetizers (PNW oysters and tomato/melon salad, two large plates (mushroom barbacoa & cheese-filled corn dish and king salmon which was caught that morning) and two desserts (fig pastie and a creamy Asian pear). We also got the carnitas chilaquiles separately—highly recommend. Each dish was beautifully prepared, incredibly tasty, and unforgettable. The wine pairing ($68 per person) was thoughtfully curated and well worth it, and the cocktails were just as impressive.

Can’t wait to go back!!!!“

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

“Super nice humans! Hands down best mexican creative food- easy menu with lots of options for food allergies and types of veg/protein. Great price. Kinda the best meal we've eaten in weeks!“

“Stopped by on a late weekday and unfortunately we were only able to order food to go, but we’re still allowed to eat inside the restaurant. The food was above average and customer service was also excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone. Satisfied with our visit.“

“Great food cart for some Mexican food. Menu can be overwhelming but you can always just get the basic mole burrito for under $10.00. Grab a couple sauces for some extra goodness. Plenty of flavor without being overly spicy. Location near Mississippi have a covered eating area.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“This place was great. Really good service, great pupusas, and tasty horchata. Folks working there were really nice and the restaurant seems like a nice place to sit and eat. We ordered for pickup but looking forward to spending more time there!“

“Colibri delivers on all fronts—amazing food, great service, and a cool vibe. The burrito was hands-down the best my husband's ever had: fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The tamales and ceviche were equally impressive, showcasing how much care and quality go into their dishes.

The service was top-notch, even from the server who happens to be a Manchester United fan (haha - Go ARSENAL!). They were friendly, attentive, and added a fun energy to the experience.

The laid-back, cool vibe of the place makes it a spot you’ll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend for anyone who loves fresh, authentic flavors and great hospitality!“

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

“The greatest place on earth..!!!! Nuff said...“

“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.“

“Y'all, if you haven't checked out Chess Tacos, you are seriously missing out on some mind blowing food. Everything I've had in their menu has been top notch! Today, I had their new breakfast burrito. Hands down the BEST Bessie burrito I've ever had. The flavor profile is on point! A mix of grilled and smokey flavors. Bacon and Mexican Chorizo, and the chorizo wasn't over powering. You can not go wrong. I promise it'll be the best breakfast burrito you've ever had. (Don't tell Abuelita, you might hurt her feelings it's that good)

Go visit Cesar and his crew. Tell him you saw Tony's review. I don't get anything for it, but I promise you'll like the team and the food even more. 1000% the best food cart around and the best prices.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“We biked downtown and were looking for a lunch spot. So we decided to check out this conveniently located food cart. I ordered the chipotle shrimp burrito and my partner ordered the veggie burrito. We also got the strawberry horchata made with fresh strawberries, which was DIVINE! Everything was super fresh, tasty and prepared well. We'd come back next time we're in this part of the city.“

“Omggg, so amazing. The first impression was everything. They were so nice, place is immaculate. A very wonderful family like setting. Very peaceful. I ordered the Grilled chicken taco salad and chicken nachos. When I tell you the seasoning on this chicken was amazing! I wish I could give 10 stars. Definitely somewhere you want to visit.“

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

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

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

“Great People and Great Food!“

“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“

“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.“
