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.“

“Move back to Cali and every time I come to through Portland I make a stop food is fire 🔥“

“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“

“Lillia Comedor provided excellent food with wonderful inventive flair as to ingredients and sauces and overall food presentation. Service was both very efficient and very friendly/ pleasant without being overly intrusive. Portions from the Chef's menu were reasonable even for big eaters such as myself. We understood that the quality of the restaurant required a high level of expense vis a vis the quality of the food artistry and the ingredients used as well as the level of service. Thus we had no issues with the price points of the food. However, unless they manage some national write up's such as Kann, which has roughly same price level ( maybe even a little higher) has received I worry that the Portland dining population may not find it accessible given the large number of chef owned mid priced (entrees $25-35) restaurants, which not of quite the same quality are often quite good. So it would be a shame as Lillia Comedor is a gem worth the expense if one's budget can afford it.“

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

“Very cute inside Friendly staff Good drinks And yummy food“

“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“

“This place is absolutely the best!! fresh chips and salsa!! Best deal on beverages by far!! My partner and I have tried everything they have to offer and we have never been disappointed. The customer service is absolutely top tier!! You have to check it out!! The owners kindness goes far beyond anything I’ve seen out here!!“

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

“The best burrito and fresh made chips still warm😋 I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu 😊“

“Pros and cons to this place:

PROS:
1) The halibut tacos were to die for. The chips nicely spiced but not complimentary to my knowledge from what someone at our table said.
2) By far, the BEST Red Sangria I've ever had.
3) Liked the fact there is outside seating, even though we sat in the back. So nice if weather cooperates.

CONS:
1) Server put $38 worth of items from a relatives bill on our tab. Not sure how this could occur when you go up to the cashier to order. May or may not ever see those funds again. Certainly puts a damper on your evening having to collect from a relative.
2) Choice of tipping when using a credit card starts at 18%. When ordering in a cafeteria style set up (they do bring the food to you), in addition to paying at the register, and having to get your own water, 12% is considerably more appropriate as a starting point. 18% came across as a money grab.
3) When paying it doesn't let you see what you're paying for until AFTER you've paid. What's wrong with that picture????
3) One in our group sat there for at least 10 minutes while everyone else in our group received their cocktails/horchata. Could tell everyone felt a bit awkward about this, as they hardly touched their drinks til the final one came such a long time later, even though all were ordered at same time.
4) Flan was dry and NOT at all smooth or creamy. Left most of it behind. Can see why it was at a lower price point. Most people tend to look for dense and creamy due to considerable use of sweetened condensed milk.

Would I come back? For the love of the halibut tacos and red sangria that were so outstanding, yes. BUT, I'd watch my bill like a hawk (not sure how I'd even do that since you can't see the bill until after paying), skip the flan, and plan out my tipping a bit better.“

“this food was delicious! Beautiful ambience. Great place to hang out and eat dinner. Food came out quick. The salsa and guacamole was flavorful. Everything about it was an absolutely great experience five stars.“

“Fenomenal! Fresh quality ingredients, wonderful flavors, great prices. Our new family favorite!“

“I love when a torta is like a philly cheese steak.
The buns were toasted on the grill.
Super gooey cheese.
The peppers were a really nice surprise.
The asada was super on point and plentiful.
Churros tasted fresh and solid.
Really happy with my choice in food carts.
Will come back again.“

“Awesome food and great customer service“

“Just discovered this little Mexican Restaurant, the food is great and service is good.“

“This place is 🔥 🔥 🔥. Took a road trip from central CA to Seattle, stopped in Portland for 2 nights, so glad we did. The food was amazing. One of the best food carts we tried in the Hawthorne Asylum was Texicano was definitely my favourite. I had the Taco Loco Tacos, I am now craving them and want more. My husband had the chicken bowl and the ingredients fresh and the flavor was amazing. We hope to be back soon. Bummer it's not in Cali.“

“Great food, atmosphere and awesome service. 😋💕“

“I never would’ve found this place if Energy Trust of Oregon hadn’t sent me over to propose a ductless mini split heat pump for the owner.
I didn’t win the project, but I did get introduced to this production kitchen that has a retail window where it serves the most amazing authentic Mexican food in Portland. I can’t drive by now without stopping. So yum! I may not have won the job, but God was still so good!“

“Beat tacos this side of the Mississippi!!!! No joke this taco place has the very best flavors and it’s meat are perfectly cooked! I totally recommend piñata takos!!!“

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

“Friendly mom and son cooking delicious food from Mexico City. The quesadillas were fantastic. I usually get flour tortillas but luckily I forgot to ask for them. The blue corn tortillas were made on the spot from “3 Sister’s” masa and so yummy. I highly recommend. We will be returning.“

“Muy buena comida .. por excelencia y el servicio muy rápido ..“

“We love the vibe on 23rd avenue and stopped in for lunch. All but myself ordered appetizers to share. The bacon wrapped jalapenos were awesome as were the other ones I tried, but my enchiladas were a big disappointment. The flavor was unlike any other I have eaten, and disagreeable to me. The Mexican rice was crispy and crunchy also with an odd flavor, and the black beans were mediocre. All in all, my choice was a bust. The service was good, and liked the decor, so I would probably give it another chance, but I won't be ordering the enchiladas!“

“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.“

“My friend and I were looking to see what to find to eat and we came across this place! And it looked like a pretty cool good looking affordable place! When you see a writing and white board, you know the food is going to be good! And we were right! We ordered nachos and MAAAAN best nachos I ever had. Or maybe because we had drank but even then they were so good! You can tell they friend the tortillas! I’m not a guac person but their guac was so good! They did not disappoint at all! So good! I will be coming here more often after a Friday or Saturday night! W mi gente 🇲🇽“

“they are always great and nice and have amazing food 😄“

“Will be going back. So delicious!“

“Theres a reason this place gets great reviews, for me its the fresh tasting no rice , no fussy and all flavor burritos at a reasonable price.
Solid tastes with the fresh ingredients feel, no trashy sisco beans, no masses of filler rice. Just good food.“

“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!“

“Raul is a magician! He cooks his grandmother's recipes, turning out food that is down right addicting!.. and friendly on the wallet. I eat here at least once, if not twice and sometimes three times a week. This, after trying 90% of the mexican trucks within a 2 mile radius, Neza is by far the best around(possibly the best in town). If you didn't know, go find out for yourself.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️Best TLAYUDAS 4ever ⭐️⭐️⭐️ We enjoyed last Sunday, in our meeting your amazing food and authentic flavor .I hope everybody in Portland can check your Oaxaca cuisine ….thank you Tierra del Sol. You are unique!“

“We really enjoyed our dinner at Tequeria. The server was very polite, patient, and informative. We were really impressed with the food being such great quality and made fresh and you could taste the freshness in the salsas which they had 5 different choices that were all so good, my favorite being the habanero because I like it spicy. We will definitely be back. Jesus was our server and he was so nice.“

“Extraño mis ticos chilaquiles!! 😋“

“By far the best Torta I’ve had in the area ! Check them out ! 10/10 recommended!!“
