“Dined outside, the food was delicious. The nachos were amazing- generous toppings lots of guacamole and jalapenos and really good chips. Though they didn't have lemonade, the server improvised with real lemon and I think sugar or syrup and it was better than any other lemonade. My boyfriend's daughter had a melted cheese dish that was $8 and she kept saying, "this is better than McDonald's." High praise from an 8 year old!!“
“Just had one of the best experiences of my life at Lilia. Do yourself a favor and do NOT miss the tasting menu, which rotates weekly. It was an incredible value, and more importantly there was not one single disappointing dish in the 8-course lineup. Some stand outs were the amberjack crudo in aguachile: the fish was incredible and cut so pretty, and the aguachile was just the brightest and tastiest i’ve ever had. The quesadilla with huitlacoche, sprouting broccoli and marinated radish: never having tried huitlacoche I was shocked at how decadent and rich it tasted… every flavor in the dish worked like magic with the others. The pork collar: as soon as I touched a piece of the pork collar confit it fell apart under my fork, cooked to perfection. Like the carnitas of your dreams. And the chocolate & salted hazelnut tart with kumquats: probably the most interesting combinations of flavors and textures in any dessert I’ve tried… the kind of experience that’s just delightful every time you take another bite. Every dish was just a surprising explosion of flavors and beauty. This is exciting food. Absolutely no letdowns with the service (every staff member was enthusiastic and knowledgeable) and the ambience as well, but the food is truly mind-blowing.Vegetarian options: Every ingredient is treated like the star in these dishes, which means the vegetarian dishes were a burst of flavor, spice and texture. I had the roasted fennel with fennel harissa and the white asparagus with salsa pipián, pickled rhubarb and morel mushrooms and both were just excellent.“
“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!!!“
“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!“
“A unique touch on Mexican which tasted fantastic. First time eating out dinner in Portland and no regrets.The service was amazing and the waiters knew the menu very well. Definitely a place worthy of booking!We ordered the full menu and every dish was very well plated. The chicken and the birria were the highlights for me but worthy of trying the entire menu!“
“The eating area is shared by other food carts, so it can get a bit tight if you decide to eat there when it's busy. But if you're looking for a big delicious and affordable burrito that's gonna fill you up, this is the place to go.“
“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!“
“I had been meaning to eat here but I finally made it the other day! The weather was perfect so I ordered and went to sit at the outside seating area. The chicken torta was good! I was super impressed by the bread and it all tasted very fresh. I also had their horchata and would order both again! I will be back for more!“
“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.“
“Great and fresh burrito.The way they cooked the tortilla was outstanding, I absolutely loved a grilled tortilla the way they did it.The burrito I got was veggie, and had pickled onions and other fresh ingredients and was delicious, one of the freshest tasting burritos I've had.The drink was jamaica hibiscus and wasn't too sweet, which is great, I hate when places just add tons of sugar to drinks.Would have rather had horchata, but the option wasn't available on the app I ordered from.The sauces were something special, the avocado was airy almost like a whipped sauce.The habanero was spicy and sorta sweet.Both delicious.Overall easy 5 star.“

“I went to the food cart location and saw they now have gone brick and mortar. How exciting!! I had their street tacos and some Birria Consomé. Sooo super yummy!!There was plenty of parking and it is wheelchair accessible. The place looks clean. Hands down, these are the best street tacos I've ever had!“
“As a SoCal native living in the beautiful PNW, I would be lying if I said I didn't miss great Mexican food. Thank goodness I've found the wonderful folks at Taqueria la Marquesa!! Tortilla? Bomb. Rice? Bomb. Beans? Bomb. Salsas? Bomb. I can go on, but check it out for yourself. Super friendly staff, great chefs. I got the rice, cheese, and bean burrito. Added some sour cream, jalapenos, and french fries. Tried all their salsas, as well as my husband's Loco Burrito. Everything was delicious. We were in heaven! At ten weeks pregnant, I needed this! ?“
“The food quality is good, but the size of the breakfast burritos leave something to be desired, and I am a small person so I don't eat much. Would have been better if they put potatoes in it to bulk it up a little. The people working in there are nice and the lattes and food are good though. I would go back.“
“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!“
“Cleaned good inside &out with good helpful working guy at register ; with good cook that’s a guy or girl. My first time here definitely won’t be my last. Good yummy in my tummy food and beverages; affordable and worth every penny. Thanks for good service Smart Donkey , keep up the good work.“
“Ate at Dita's Peruvian food truck. Fabulous sandwich and plantain side. Hardly anyone there at 12:30 on a Friday so the rest of Portland was definitely missing out! Highly recommended. We'll be back soon.Parking: We found easy parking on a side street 1-2 minutes walk from Portland Mercado.“
“The best Mexican food cart by far. I always get tacos and they've never let me down. Super quick and delicious every time. The man running the cart is always very nice and sometimes gives me extra food. This is always my go-to when I'm craving Mexican food.“
“Nested in a nice food park, Saint Burrito has delicious burritos and friendly service. Ordered carnitas which was flavorful and had a slight crunchy texture from the searing. ? I also ordered the harbanero salsa but thought it would be a bit more spicy as a good middle ground of the choices. ALTHOUGH!, the salsa has a fantastic authentic roasted texture and color which I absolutely love. Will be returning.“
“Everything they make is delicious and the staff is as friendly as can be! I’ve been eating here most days during a long, drawn out move and they have some lighter options that have helped me avoid a taco-baby belly. The lime chicken soup is so tasty ? I have proven to myself in the last three weeks that I really could eat here everyday! And the staff has only gotten kinder and kinder as I show my face moreDietary restrictions: I have found this place to be very safe for my gluten restriction and they are chill about switching out food that accidentally arrived with dairy on it!“
“Wow wow wow! My buddy and I moved to Portland from Texas and New Mexico a year ago and we’ve been craving a taste of authentic Mexican and what better than homemade handmade local tamales. Hands down, the best we’ve ever had! We were surprised by the price at first but boy do they give you your money’s worth. You’ll be full off the first 2! Recommend the chicken and the cheese ones. Burrito was amazing and huge too especially for just $2! And the SALSA! F**k Yes! Finally good homemade salsa! Eat at and Support Los Tamales Locos and save me some!“
“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.“
“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!“
“BEST vegan tacos and vegan burritos I've had in the city!!! The tortillas for the tacos were the best tortillas I've ever had in my whole life and I've eaten a lot of Mexican food. The habanero salsa is a spice lover's dream come true. Can't wait to go back. What an absolute gem.“
“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!“
“Yummy yummy Mexican food I'm from so moving out here to WA it was very hard to find a really yummy Mexican spot and I'm 100% sure I finally found it. Yummy tender meat great homemade tortillas and yummy Carne Friess !!! 100% a loyal customer love love love. Even more better the people here are really nice !“
“I’m here at least once a week! I can’t get enough! Great tacos and sides! Wonderful atmosphere and excellent service.A great place to dine alone or with your friends /family. The staff and food are pure gems. I will always get my tacos here.❤️“

“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.“
“This unassuming shop in a strip mall is quietly serving food that makes it a contender for one of the best Mexican food spots in Oregon City. The Oregon City burrito or the supreme will hit the spot every time. If you have time to sit down, get a full meal with the beans and rice.“
“A good alternative to the popular chain Mexican place down the street. The food is fresh, tasty and you have options of burritos, tacos, bowls and taco bowl. The guy who served my food was super sweet. I feel the price is really good especially downtown which is getting pricey for lunch. I had a carne asada bowl and it was plenty of food and good for my tummy. No extra charge to add guac too! I would come here again and try the other dishes.“
“I'm kinda bummed about my experience at OCB today. I took my S/O here as it seemed well rated for both their beers and food options. The beer and food were good, but I don't think I'll come back based on the crowd/patrons. When we arrived, the place seemed promising and busy. The covered patio area was pretty, unsurprisingly packed on a Friday, plus didn't notice if they had heaters. (Edit: they do have heaters, but I didn't see them.) It was a little chilly, so we elected to order beers and food and eat inside. Despite sitting next to one another, we couldn't really hear each other talk. This place was loud/echoey with normal patron conversations, with some screaming/playing children inside added on top. When the loud table next to us left, another family showed up with their kids using the seating as a jungle gym, taking chairs from our table, etc. Maybe if you have free range kids, this place is your jam. The Ukrainian Golden Ale was super tasty - loved the hint of savory from the sunflower seeds. The Leather Bound Brown was ok - not my favorite. They did have a huge variety of taps which was promising. Bartenders were also nice, despite being very busy. Also, my Bulgogi from the truck outside was yummy. I would try their beer again sometime, but will probably skip this spot. Edit: The business owner reached out to me with a thoughtful response right after I shared my experience, trying to address my comments and encouraging me to give them another try. I'll try and swing back through, on a less busy night. Adding a star for the response. Thanks!“
“Best Mexican restaurant ever.this place was more than I possibly imagined.this place is the pinnacle of culinary creation.love and passion served on a plate.as a sous chef this place motivated and inspired me,food can be so much more than just something you eat.its and experience,an adventure“
“Mi amigo Paquito es excelente en su trabajo! Su comida tiene un muy rico sabor y los tacos están de rechupete!!A mi me encantan sus hamburguesas hacen una súper especial. Visiten el lugar . Paquito es muy amable y tiene un excelente sentido del humor.“
“Awesome food!! The owner was also SO friendly and kind, she greeted me with a huge smile. The food portions are quite generous and delicious! The kimchi is also super bubbly and fresh I couldn’t get enough. The prices are also the best I saw among all the others. For the quality, amount of food and super friendly owner I can definitely recommend this place and will definitely be back!! 맛있어요!“
“i recently moved to the pnw from being born and raised in southern california, so i know my taco shops. ever since i got up here i've been looking for a GOOD place to get my fix. tried multiple places and they've ranged from just plain bad to "that'll do for now."was in this general area and figured i'd check this place out after reading the reviews.this is now my go-to. fantastic food, nice portions, good prices. even the hot sauce is way above average in flavor.hands down the best taco shop food i've had since i moved....and honestly rivals some of the places in san diego.highly recommended.“
“The best Burritos in Portland? Absolutely!! I lived in southern CA for 25 years and this is the most authentic burrito I’ve had here in Portland. The midtown beer garden where they’re located is great as well. Go check them out you will not be disappointed“
“I call my order ahead of time and bike over. The tacos are top notch. I am obsessed with the fried chicken and al pastor chicken tacos. Their tacos are packed with filling and lots of meat. The pineapples go great with the al pastor chicken! The sauce on the fried chicken enhances the flavor nicely. One of my fave food carts. The covered area is nice to eat under. Plus you can get free salsa or hot sauce if you like. Reasonably priced for the high quality ingredients and friendly service.“
“You know how you usually think of tamales as dry and generally lacking flavor? NOT this place!!! I've had their mole and their verde chicken tamales, and both are tender, moist, and PACKED full of flavor. I can't say enough good things about this food cart. The home made tortillas they use for their tacos are probably one of the best things I've put into my mouth and their al pastor was juicy, flavorful, and delicious. The lady working the food cart was amazing, gave me a complementary taste of their hibiscus agua fresca, and encouraged me to take a load off in their cute little outdoor space. Do yourself a favor and stop by, you won't regret it!!“
“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.“
“Food was great, a decent beer & cider on tap selection. Service was quick and welcoming. Got 4 of the street tacos, they use one tortilla instead of two but very filling if you get 4-6. Prices were standard. The nacho platter was $12.5] but it was mountain with great toppings.“
“Highly recommend. Possibly the best Hispanic food I’ve EVER had. The tortillas were great, bread for the Torta was Definitely the best I’ve ever had. Not so soft that it falls apart, slight crunch. Tacos didn’t skimp on meat. Tender and flavorful no matter what one you get. The rice was also the best I’ve had. Moist and full of flavor. Found my new spot. Gotta get some churros and elotes. Price is comparable to any other truck and at times cheaper.“
“Pupusas! I just wanted to try one of these for the first time, and El Porvenir did not disappoint. I had the chicharrón pupusa with delicious salsas for $6 and was surprised to find it satisfying without being too heavy. Wonderful flavor and texture.Look forward to another visit to try the chef’s other specialties.“
“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 love this restaurant it is my favorite place in Portland. Me and my boyfriend moved to Portland a few months ago and we’ve been getting food here so often ever since! The food is absolutely delicious. Very reasonably priced. My boyfriend says they are always extremely nice whenever he goes and gets the food. I always ask to eat here, and I’m so excited because we get to order from here tonight. Thank you for the amazing food and service it can’t be beat!“
“This restaurant was lovely. The food was fresh, and the flavors were reminiscent of TexMex. I had a chicken enchilada with cheese and a lovely red sauce on top. Absolutely delicious. The salsa reminded me of salsa I used to get growing up in Texas.“
“From the moment we stepped into Todo Taco, we knew we were in for a treat. The highlight of our dining experience had to be the phenomenal birria tacos. Each bite was a perfect blend of flavors, making them some of the best we’ve ever savored. But let's not stop there; the chicken wings were unlike any other I've had in Portland – perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a flavor that keeps you coming back for more.The margaritas deserve a special mention as well. Handcrafted with precision, each sip was a refreshing blend of quality ingredients, proving that the art of a great margarita hasn't been lost. Additionally, the salsa selection was on point, offering a variety of options to complement every dish with just the right kick.The ambiance of Todo Taco was made even more enjoyable by the fantastic bartender who went above and beyond to ensure our experience was nothing short of perfect. Their friendly and attentive service added a personal touch to our visit, making us feel truly welcomed.In conclusion, if you find yourself in Portland and in search of an exceptional dining experience, Todo Taco is a must-visit. Whether it’s for the mouthwatering birria tacos, the exceptional chicken wings, the handcrafted margaritas, or the inviting atmosphere, you're in for a real treat. Go and see for yourself why Todo Taco is a cut above the rest!“
“This place is amazing! Someone clearly put their heart into making the interior feel like you were dining in an outdoor pavilion in Mexico. It is intricately detailed and decorated. The service is fantastic, and it's some of the best Mexican food I've had in Portland. Highly recommend dining here.“
“Food prices are not correct on yelp, they are quite a bit more than what is listed here. Service was good, food took awhile - but was super fresh and super hot... yummmmm! Ambiance is a little sketchy and the parking in this little strip mall is a nightmare.“
“Delicious and the atmosphere was so clean and inviting! Everyone was friendly! We saw crowds of families, people on a date and teenagers there as well. Truly a great place for everyone!Kid-friendliness: Fast and delicious! Easy to accommodate requests for kiddos.“
