50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Portland

“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“

“Absolutely amazing tasty food! We had the tacos and instantly fell in love. I could cry with how good it was. The hosts and staff were so friendly and accommodating all around great atmosphere and learning their story made it all the more heart opening. Thank you so much 🫶🫶🫶🙏“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The restaurant was busy, and they seemed understaffed, so we were treated kindly, but slowly. The food was delicious!! But I didn’t love how much fat was left in the shredded pork. Still, it was super well seasoned and the ingredients were very high quality!!“

“I’ve seen this truck forever, but have never stopped. Grabbed an asada burrito for dinner last night, best decision I’ve made all week! Everything about the burrito delivered, quality tortilla, great meat, piping hot, and great value for the price. Will definitely be making this a regular stop!“

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

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

“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.“

“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 were just walking by this place and decided to check it out and it was one of those unassumingly awesome spots! It has simple but cute decor, great comfy seats (both the stools and the back tables), and the staff was super friendly and helpful. I loved the footnote on the menu dedicating it to the important people in Tamale Boy's life. The menu felt intentional and so many things sounded delicious! It is also reasonably priced. We were pleasantly surprised when all our drinks and food came out. It was elegantly served and delicious! And of course, can't forget the World Cup enthusiasm! It always brings people together.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

please try, the serving size was great - bf and i shared but still had leftovers. would def have it again if we visit portland :)“

“Extraño mis ticos chilaquiles!! 😋“

“Awesome food and great customer service“

“I am visiting from St Louis Missouri and wanted authentic Mexican food as soon as I landed 🛬 in Portland. This place was amazing 🤩 I had the 3 taco plate chicken with rice and beans. The salsa selection was perfect. Definitely will come back next time I am in town!“

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

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

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

“The food was terrific. Great staff and customer service. Fun time“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Will be going back. So delicious!“
