This place is right next to my go-to shop (snacks, booze, the occasional frozen treat), I mention, as I've passed this place up not knowing when going to the Shopeteria! and okay, I like what's happening here. Bare bones decor and just kinda a store front (more a to-go) thing happening here. Menu is super accessible as it's pics on the wall and I believe they have a fresh juice bar as well (closed today I guess). We got a wet burrito (sorry if that's not what it's called), tamales and a side of rice. Burrito (see pic) crazy good. Tamales, okay, a little dry but with the homemade sauce--yes. Rice, just skip or it's just filler. Service is wonderful, nice folks here, and we can't wait to come back for breakfast, as I've heard it's awesome!

The food is amazing. Great tacos. I recommend going next door for the flan while you're there.

Outstanding breakfast burrito. Simple and delish! Will be back for more. Glad I stopped by.

A lost treasure in NE Portland. The food is amazing, very tasty and full of authentic flavor. Great options for all three meals in the day and.a great dessert selection on top of the Mexican food.They made the best street tacos I have had on this side of the boarder and the best salsa also. I love their hot sauces also particularly the green salsa.The outside is a bit off putting but once your inside you realize how great it is. The employees are super friendly and helpful.Looks like they are set up to host parties and other such activities with lots of open room and even a stage.Parking: They only have a few spots in the front so if the mini mart is busy you park on the street in the neighborhood but still worth it.
Great food and super good price. I love the burritos. Very friendly wait staff. The only knock is the mild sause is still a bit much...for me at least.

This is exactly what a neighborhood Mexican restaurant should be! An ambassador between countries! The staff were friendly and helpful. The pictures on the wall were a great help and the food was absolutely knockdown. Incredible! The chips were perfect, the guacamole amazing, and the shrimp Carnitas were to die for. This place is definitely on the go to list. it was colorful and quaint and I fell in love. So much better than the fancy hip expensive places downtown! I cannot say enough good things about it.This above, almost any other place in town, reminded me of the welcoming atmosphere I experienced during my time in Mexico.

My family loves good burritos. And our best burritos tend to be found in little places that thanks to the internet we can now find. We were on the east side of Portland and needed lunch. And we lucked out! (And wish this spot were closer to home.) We had the carnet asada burrito, the veggie burrito, and two beans and cheese burritos. They were all top notch. High quality meat, tons of veggies and flavor in the veggie and all four were big and piping hot. If you love a good burrito and are looking for a gem of a taqueria, I would recommend Taqueria La Mestizas. It's a little spot, but the service was fast and quality, the employee was kind and nice.Vegetarian options: Delicious veggie burrito full of queso, tasty rice and lots of delicious fresh veggies.
