“deben tener en físico la presentación del menú“

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

“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!“

“Had one of the best meals of my trip to Portland at Lilia Comedor! I dined solo and the team was kind enough to accommodate me with the Chef’s Dinner tasting menu for one, which already set the tone for such a thoughtful experience. I also did the wine pairing, and every single course was incredible! Super flavorful, beautifully presented, and full of unique ingredients and combinations I wouldn’t have thought of myself.

The portions were also surprisingly generous for a tasting menu. I left completely full and very satisfied. The wine pairing was excellent, and the sommelier was knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly passionate about what they were serving. Huge shout out to Jason, who took such great care of me all evening. He made the experience feel relaxed, personal, and genuinely fun.

What really made the night special, though, was the service overall. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. It somehow felt elevated and cozy at the same time, like being welcomed into someone’s home for an amazing dinner party. And the handwritten note at the end was such a thoughtful touch.

Absolutely worth the visit if you’re in Portland. Five stars without hesitation.“

“Had the most delicious food and friendly/attentive service here recently! The food came really quickly and it was absolutely delicious. In Portland, it’s hard to find places that serve good food and have good service. Most people have great stars for the service, but the food is lacking. I’m a fan of this place and plan to come back! They are deserving of all the stars.“

“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!“

“I've now been there twice after playing disc golf at Pier Park and twice myself and my friends have been blown away! Took different people there this time around and they were surprised at how great it was! I've now tried four different kinds of street taco and each one of them is excellent! The burritos are freaking massive, some could get to maybe three meals out of each one! The tortas look incredible as well!“

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

“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!“

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

“food is delicious....excellent service..friendly...prices are just right....100% la recomiendo!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!!!“

“they were bomb a.f! no lie! 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“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!“

“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.“

“The tacos and burrito were outstanding! The meat was seasoned perfectly and packed a delicious flavor that was complemented by their tasty hot sauces. The corn tortillas were fresh and soft. I've been searching all over Portland and Vancouver for tacos that hit like the ones in San Diego, and this place did not disappoint. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu and eat tacos!“

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

“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.“

“Extraño mis ticos chilaquiles!! 😋“

“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.“

“Awesome food and great customer service“

“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“

“my friend Abraham, runs the show! check it out! Tell him the city man sent ya!“

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

“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!“

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

“Very solid vibe. Nice customer service and quick turnaround. Carne Asada Burrito was good, not the best I have had but very solid. Definitely would recommend checking it out! Definitely will be coming back when I am in the area, probably going to check out the bowls instead. Pineapple habanero salsa was very spicy as promised, maybe a bit too spicy but that is just me and my taste, for those who like really hot, go for it.“

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

“delicious every time. the meat is always great quality and never has gristle or extra fat. reasonable price. super kind workers. and all around a really enjoyable and casual atmosphere. i love the vibes (and the salsa and chip bar). big fan :)“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Están riquísimos los tacos !!!“

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

“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“
