Don't skip this place. Everything here is prepared with immense care and the recipes are magical. The young fellow who runs it is super stoked to serve you their amazing food, with so much hospitality, and honestly it feels like they're serving you right from their home. The handmade tortillas are incredible. I can't stop thinking about the food I just ate, like, hours later, I can still taste some of the best tacos and esquites I've ever had. I can't wait for them to be open again on Tuesday so I can go back.
We got takeout and it was awesome! The large burritos are truly enormous and gave us leftovers for two days, which my kid loved. The owners are so kind and the food is delicious!
Vegetarian options: Clear menu of vegetarian fillings for the burritos. We tried two of them (one papastor and one tofu); both were excellent.

I love this place! the tacos are amazing, so many good options for meat eaters and vegans alike. the owners are so sweet as well and the service is amazing. do not miss the black pastor (or black papastor for vegans/vegetarians!)
Guys. This place is SO GOOD. I've spent a cumulative couple years in Mexico and have eaten a metric kajillion street tacos, and Mota y Limón had me thinking I had NEVER EATEN A TACO BEFORE.Straight up, the Black Pastor has flavors that I've never quite experienced before and never knew that I needed. It is a whole new level of taco.Not only that, but this is the friendliest service you will ever find. You will be begging to pay them more money. That's how they make you feel: welcomed, loved, and like you deserve the best food in the world.Get the Black Pastor tacos.***Also: not to be left out: the corn tortillas are hand-made ❤️

Will be coming back to Portland just for this food. It was absolutely excellent and the owners were very helpful and pleasant. Only drawback at least for me is that it’s located in what I guess is night club of some sort and parking is a nightmare. Worth it though, will be back!

My husband and I came in on a Saturday night. The food was so amazing! We got nachos with the enchilada pork, a machete with birria beef, and an al pastor taco. SO GOOD. We also loved the service. The man that greeted us was so friendly and had great recommendations. His mom was making the food and he told us how amazing her corn tortillas are! He wasn’t wrong. We’re so happy we tried this place and hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
