We visited a high school friend of my wife and Yelp helped us pick a good place to eat a late lunch...a neighborhood mexican restaurant with a unique menu featuring Birrias, goat or beef? They are also heavy on seafood so there are plenty of choices available. The lunch menu is just a shorter version of the dinner menu. There is a full bar with specialty cocktails. I ordered up sparking water to was down the guacamole and salsa with freshly cooked tortilla chips. M ordered up a mango margarita, it had a full rim of salt and spices, looks good. My Linner was a baja taco, one shrimp, one fish, M ordered the shrimp and cheese taco. I had to ask that the shrimp in our tacos would be shell off, our server confirmed, shell less. I asked because most of the photos on the menu show the shrimp with head, without head but all with shell on...I prefer not to fuss with peeling the just cooked hot shrimp. The guac was really fresh and good, the chips a bit over cooked. Then the drinks arrived and the entree's followed shortly there after Plain and simple three various taco's with some tasty refried & whole beans with your standard orange Spanish rice....hum. I guess it's a toss up on the rice, a unique almost Spanish rice with a flavor twist or the comfortable, household, everyday orange Spanish rice that won't scare anyone away. The taco's were great, fat with plenty of the larger shrimp (with no shell) cabbage and other stuff to fill the tortilla. We all enjoyed our meal and I would certainly entertain a return visit if we lived closer. By all means it's a great place to try what you like and maybe add something you wouldn't normally order to enjoy something new. Great Service! Thank you, Martin-foodguy read more

Birrias Tamazula - Wow! Now stay open later! - Mexican Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

This review deserves an update! Just enjoyed my last meal of 2025 here, a Birria Playe and a house margarita. This place has been developing an increasingly welcoming vibe. Noticed that they expanded their breakfast offerings, too! I'll keep that in mind for next time. Birria and margarita were delightful. Service was cheerful and quick as always. Thanks and Happy New Year! read more

Birrias Tamazula - Mexican Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

TLDR: Expanded offerings. More shrimp options! Same excellent food. We were out at Third Thursday downtown and I thought I had mentioned to the-woman-who-lets-me-live-with-her (thanks Mike), that I was hungry and ready for dinner, but apparently we missed that bit of communication. When the growling of my stomach was almost audible outdoors, I said we should go to Tamazula because we could sit outside with the dog, who came along to the street fair with us. They have expanded their menu and we ordered the Camarones Divorciado because we love shrimp. Now you can get ceviche in loads of places. Heck, the local mercado has more than one, from a simple aguachile, to fish, and then shrimp ceviche. Most of the time, though, the shrimp are not actually "cooked" in the acidic liquid (naranjas agrias, lime, maybe lemon), they are cooked, and then marinated in the "broth." This is not that. Fully half of the Divorciado is freshly marinated raw shrimp, awash in a delightful broth of juices, cucumber, and onion. The shrimp just whitening at the edges as the acids bite into the flesh. It takes confidence in your ingredients and your techniques to serve a fresh (not pre-cooked) shrimp ceviche and this was an amazing success. I absolutely adored it as did my spouse. We ate everything but the plate. I was so entranced by the ceviche that i ate without much curiosity, the other shrimp portion on the plate. Copped shrimp in a spicy red sauce was also excellent, but I was so blown away by the ceviche I probably didn't give it a fair shake. (ate it all though) Still not to be missed. House-made tortillas (by hand), friendly folks, great food, what else do you need? read more

What a clean establishment with great service to match. We ordered the birria de chivo (goat) and I can't begin to explain how fresh and delicious it was overall. Great attentive staff with wonderful music to listen to while enjoying our lunch. Next time you're in Gresham, come by! read more

Yummm My birria with cheese was FAB & so loaded! Nice surprise, I didn't even know this joint existed read more

Birria, ceviche and micheladas. Birrias Tamazula has a winning trifecta!! We had textbook perfect versions of all three on our recent visit. - Birria -- whether served in tacos on soft corn tortillas, in gently fried queso birria tacos, or as part of a generous platter -- was tender and flavorful, but not overly fatty or salty. The consommé, which comes with the platters or is available as a separate side, is complex, not detectably dependent on MSG for flavor. Beef and goat birria were available, the latter non-gamy. - A shrimp ceviche was the real deal: Fresh shrimp were dressed with acid to order, meaning that the shrimp did not come out rubbery and "overcooked" as it does in many an establishment. The amount of spice and balance of vegetables (cucumber, red onion, a touch of tomato) was absolutely perfect in my book. Our waitress was kind enough to bring over a small ramekin of what must've been house made green salsa -- extra spicy -- that was fantastic with the ceviche as well. Crisp, non-oily tostadas and tortilla chips were served alongside. - Micheladas, made with your choice of beer (Modelo for me always), are well mixed with plenty of tamarind and spice. Be careful, though. The large one comes in a mug as big as your head. It's delicious, definitely made for at least two. The Pardner and I, no lightweights, had trouble finishing it. I won't just pay this establishment the dubious compliment of being the most delicious restaurant we tried in Oregon, given that we've mostly been stuck eating overpriced, Sysco-sourced resort town food (though of course it was). The birria and ceviche we tried at Birrias Tamazula were as good or perhaps better than versions we enjoy at a certain Michelin-recognized establishment in NYC. The food here is made with care, skill and heart. You can absolutely taste it. read more

All of the food was delicious and service was so welcoming - we really enjoyed our impromptu lunch date here. We had chips and guacamole to start - the chips were warm and crisp and the guacamole was the best we've had in a minute. I had the dorado plate which included beans and beef birria and soup. It was a lot of food but I almost finished it given it was so flavorful. We are looking forward to going back! read more

The service, the people, the food so amazing this will become a regular place for meals. If you haven't been there then you need to be. If you know you know. read more

Margaritas are amazing. Their guacamole is delicious. Anything I get from their menu is delicious and they make their own tortillas!

Shrimp ceviche was good and a great portion. Place was clean and good service as well.

Wonderful food and great service. We come here often as it is reasonable priced. The staff is attentive and very helpful.

I had never had birrias before visiting Birrias Tamazula. We ordered 4 different tacos to share. Not being the most adventurous eater, I tried the goat birria first with the thinking if I didn't like it the beef birria, fish and shrimp tacos would be more enjoyable. The first bite had great flavor, to my delight. All of the tacos tasted great with fresh ingredients, but my wife and I agreed we really liked the goat best of all. As a testament, I had goat birrias there 3 times that week. Since then we have shared with our friends, and are there regularly. Lately we have been going Friday nights for the Carne Asada special. Everything is fresh and delicious. Above that though, we are always made to feel welcome. Always greeted with a warm smile, and lately a cold beer! read more

There's nothing more to say, that hasn't already been said. It's definitely a hidden gem, that is well worth the visit. If there's something to not like about this place, I sure haven't found it. I will be coming back, and bringing friends here, too. Very, very, well done! read more

la comida buena pero muy caro y aparte la mesera casi te obliga a dejarle un porcentaje de tip . descepcion completa

Searched for a top rated place to eat while driving through Gresham and Birrias Tamazula popped up. So I told my hubby let's go check this place out. When we walked in we were greeted and seated right away. The staff were friendly and the service was wonderful. My hubby and I ordered the birria braised plate with beans and five tortillas, fish tacos and shrimp/ cheese tacos. Tasty, yummy, satisfying and absolutely delicious! My hubby liked the green salsa so we bought a little bottle of it and also ordered some tortillas to take home. We had some meat and consommé leftover so we planned to make more tacos when we got home. I can see why this place received 5 stars. I definitely recommend Birrias Tamazula! read more

The inside felt safe and relaxing with adequate seating. Waitress was friendly and check up on us. Food was quite tasty, we had some Birrias tacos and Birrias soup. Flavour was nice and balance with the soup. The tacos tasted like it was freshly made and it had nice flavour and texture. Birrias tacos had a good crunch to it. It wasn't too pricy for a dinner date for two. Overall, I definitely recommend this place. read more

Yelp for the win! My husband and I had some running around to do last night so, on a whim, we decided to check yelp for a new restaurant to try in our area. Birrias Tamazula popped up...5 stars...hadn't heard of it before...my husband LOVES Mexican food... The stars aligned and we decided to pop in. We are so glad we did! From the jump we were hooked. We ran into whom we believe to be the owner outside. He was so friendly and accommodating, engaging us in conversation before we even made it inside. He let us know that they had a couple groups there for birthdays and that it would be loud b/c one of them brought a band. Awesome...truly! They were very busy so I will admit that the service was initially a bit slow but the food came out quickly and all of the staff we encountered were wonderful. I don't pretend to be an expert in Mexican food but from this novice to you, if you want yummy, authentic Mexican food...check this place out. This is not an Americanized Mexican restaurant with a huge menu. (If that's what you want, this isn't for you.) They seem to specialize in Birria and seafood. Everything was SOOO good! As if the food wasn't enough, the vibe was spectacular. It felt like we were walking into a community event where everyone knew and loved each other. Of course, we didn't (lol), but it was an enjoyable atmosphere to be surrounded by as we enjoyed our meal. I know I wrote a book but we were very impressed and felt compelled to share. Do it! You won't regret it. read more

First time here and it was amazing. The food was super fresh. My favorite part was the fresh hand made tortillas they use for their tacos. If you like beans I recommend a bean taco with queso fresco and salsa! The service was great and the staff was supper friendly. Definitely will be coming back. read more

I stopped by with a friend for a quick lunch the other day. We ordered consomé and several types of birria tacos (goat, beef, etc). I liked it. The consome was not as spicy as what I had at another birria place in Portland, which I thought was good. But it didn't wow me -- I'd probably go for just regular tacos, to be honest. The location is great, and it is a nice big open dining area with tons of seating and big windows to let in light, with several chairs out on their front sidewalk as well. read more

Food is amazing! Be prepared to wait a bit though, I called it in and they stated it would be ready within 15 mins.. arrived within 15 mins but had to wait another 30 min before my order was brought out. Food was worth the wait though! read more

The food is fantastic tortillas amazing and the the seafood is straight fire highly recommend this one is great .

The place is fairly new that being said the place is pretty clean and organized. This Mexican restaurant has lots of seating and they do offer outside seating as well. I ordered the camarones zarandeados and let me tell you ... the serving sizes are HUGE ! Not many places that do sea food offer as much bang for your buck, it feels like to me in my experience. The cajun style shrimp I got had lots flavor and the homemade sauce was spectacular! Drinks are awesome too! I got a nice cold beer. My wife got a mango margarita that she loved ! Looking forward to visiting again ! read more

We stopped by for a quick lunch, not knowing how good the food would be and we were so glad that we did. The homemade guacamole was flavorful with homemade tortilla chips. My wife had a Birria beef taco and I had the Birria Doa Lidia's. Both were amazing with so much flavor. The staff was very nice and made sure we had everything that we needed. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

This place is great! My wife and I had been looking for a good Mexican spot in Gresham and we found our spot. Great little taco joint. Small menu. Mostly tacos. House-made corn tortillas, authentic birria (goat), and some of the best guacamole I've ever had. Clean little dining area and very pleasant staff. There's a couple little tables out front where we usually sit with our dog. The fish tacos are killer! This is not the place you go to stuff your face before a food coma like La Carreta. I like La Carreta. It's just not that kind of place. This is some quality authentic tacos. read more

This a family owned hidden little gem in Downtown Gresham. We went on a quiet afternoon right after the lunch hour and were amazed at how tasty the food was. We had the seafood platter (Botana Mixta), fish tacos, and quesobirria tacos. Everything was fresh and delicious! I thought the Botana Mixta platter was going to be small but I was full even after sharing with my partner. The salsas are delicious and the restaurant is well taken care of and clean. The owners are super friendly and waiting on the food was worth the wait. I highly recommend anyone to visit this little gem, you will not be disappointed. Cannot wait to return for breakfast/lunch as the chilaquiles are next on my "to try list!!" read more
