“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!“

“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.“

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

“deben tener en físico la presentación del menú“

“Phenomenal food. Great ambience. Incredible team. Inspiring story starting with chef Juan that expands into locally-sourced food, seasonality, and supporting women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ producers. As a solo traveler, the warmth and family-like atmosphere made this experience memorable.

It's also not as common to find a tasting menu inspired by Mexican roots, but this was one of the best meals I've enjoyed on the west coast. If you think lobster and mole won't work, you're missing out. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Let's put another five star review on the boards! If you ever suffer the Injustice of visiting Swan Island you can totally compensate for that by eating these taquitos. If you are a foodie who likes taquitos it's worth up to a 4-mile drive. The taquitos only come in orders of four and you must choose all one Style. All the taquitos have potato inside and the meat options are served as a giant pile on top. Their well made, crunchy, clean tasting, and have just the right toppings on them.

Update, excellent beer battered fish tacos too!“

“This is my favorite place to eat in all of Portland. They never miss. But in case you're indecisive the PASTOR (marinated and crispy pork) is a must and the CAMARONES (shrimp) is my personal favorite. I love the tacos but also the gorditas... also the fajitas plate... the French fries randomly... the orange hot sauce... the list goes on. 🤤 It literally doesn't get better than this.“

“Excellent Barbacoa burrito. WOW! This recipe has been crafted for 4 generations. The chef/owner shared his story with us. I can imagine generations making this recipe to nourish their families. He’s taken this recipe and shared it with us at this great little food cart. The guac is the perfect level of chunky for me and it’s SO FRESH. I could eat a vat of this guacamole and the orange and green salsas are some of the best I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back. The owner is really kind and seems really proud of his recipes and family. Also, we happened to go during happy hour- it gets you a sweet discount on a lot of the menu!“

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

“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.“

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

“Food was delicious, we'll prepared with a lovely presentation. I got the El Sinaloense brunch plate and wow, the flavors of the pork were incredible and the eggs cooked perfectly. I'm a bean fanatic and this is one of the best refritos flavor in Portland. My jamaica iced tea was perfect, just the right amount of tart and sweet. The staff were incredibly nice and went out of their way to suggest items and make sure we were comfortable. We live in SE and rarely cross the river to eat. I will cross the river for this restaurant any day. I look forward to returning soon!“

“Verde enchiladas ⭐⭐⭐✨
- good flavor
- liked the meat a lot

Al pastor burrito ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨
- really good meat
- love the pineapple
- adored the pico de gallo
- liked how the rice was cooked
- wish the salsas were spicier or more flavorful or something that would give a little kick to it“

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

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

“wonderful, consistent food! Alway's wonderful!“

“My tendency would be to come here for the pupusas because pupusas this good are not that prevalent in Portland. These are excellent and or formed fresh from scratch. The price per pupusa is slightly higher than average but these are bigger than average. I'm a big eater and made a full lunch out of two pupusas plus small chips and salsa.

Edit upon further visits, the Chile Relleno is one of the biggest and best in PDX. SEE PHOTO“

“they were bomb a.f! no lie! 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“I love this place! They have the very best tamales!! I've been a customer since 2021 for my winter Solstice gathering.Their tamales are a tradition.“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“Had a burrito today it was amazing can’t wait to have another one and try out there tacos“

“Encantada mis amigas y yo fuimos a celebrar el día de las madres y quedamos maravilladas,personal super agradable,ambiente acogedor y una rica comida,de 10 le doy 20 super recomendado y volveremos pronto,todo un show expectacular“

“Extraño mis ticos chilaquiles!! 😋“

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

“Just tried Neza for the first time today and got the Neza's Alambre with chicken in a tortilla, burrito style and holy wow was it delicious! One of the best burritos I’ve had not only in Portland but in life in general. I will be recommending this place to everyone and can’t wait to come back! Very friendly service as well and great hot sauces too! Don’t think; just go try it for yourself!“

“totally delicious. chicken tinga is amazing, portion sizes are huge and affordable. the salsas are indeed locas- try the creamy jalapeño. i would buy bottles of that stuff! very friendly staff as well, they made us some special eggs to accommodate an allergy and it was awesome.“

“we just went for the first time. great food, great service and great selection of food. we will definitely go back.“

“Wow! Honestly, best tacos we’ve had in PDX. Great service and fresh ingredients. We had the taco plate, with asada - the asada was crispy and flavorful. The tortillas were handmade! Rice and beans were good as well. We also tried the tacos dorados with potato. They were nice and warm, crunchy, everything was just great!!!“

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

“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!!!“

“Woah. Damn good burrito.

Was worried about going here after reading some reviews but decided to go for it and am happy I did.

Went to San Fran and San Diego a few weeks ago and had the famous burrito shops there. All a bit overhyped but still delicious.

This can compete with em for sure. Maybe the bad reviews were due to a severe off day or something. For me and my wife we’re going back 100%.“

“I’ve been coming to eat here every week and its been some of my favorite food ever and good vibes.“

“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.“

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

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

“Están riquísimos los tacos !!!“

“I make it a point to try every option around me at least once. Ive been putting this one off for awhile(idk why). I am AMAZED with the flavors of the dishes and the salsas! Both of the salsa they provide are out of this world! AMAZING“

“Muy ricos los guajolotes de 10 muy recomendables“

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