    Chicken Enchiladas
    Frank C.

    Enjoyed a wonderful meal here! The enchiladas were very tasty and the Cadillac Margarita was one of the best I've had in a long time. Service was also very kind and attentive and we noticed these folks have been here for many years. That is nice to see :) They have some outdoor seating to enjoy these last few days of summer and the indoor space is comfy as well. This is now one of my go-to places for great Mexican food with a great experience. I'm looking forward to going back and trying their Enchiladas Verde.

    Mediocre Mexican, nothing special about any of the items we ordered. El Sol came highly recommended from friends who I dine with frequently so I'm not sure if it was an off-night, but we didn't finish any of it. Actually barely touched either dinner. The menu is massive, and that says a lot. There is no way everything can be fresh and scratch made with so many items available. That should have been our first clue. The chips and salsa - just ok. Not the hot, fresh type one usually gets at a Mexican place. My friend had the carne asada plate. The streak was so thin and over cooked, more like sliced jerky than steak. Inedible. Craving Mexican food, I went with a combination platter: - Shredded beef chimichanga, usually an indulgence fir me. This one arrived soggy. What? Nothing crisp, very oily and the shredded beef filling not appealing. It was challenging just to cut a piece of this to taste. - Chile relleno was also soggy. No crisp outer shell. Totally lacking flavor. - Chicken enchilada suiza came with red sauce, not the green tomatillo sauce that is suiza and it had no flavor. The one pis it I've was the chicken was white meat. We both ordered the spicy margarita and neither of us could get it down. It was not made with fresh lime juice, which I prefer, and the mixer was uber sweet; the jalapeño couldn't cut through it. Left it behind. After a fabulous day in the wine country we stopped here because of a recommendation. We should have just continued home and gone to dinner in Portland. Everyone working here was cheerful and friendly. That was a bright spot. Saddens me to leave a poor review especially during these very trying times, but reviews are worthless if they aren't honest.

    I'm in the service industry. I do not like to complain. What was once Raul's has turned to garbage. Service was poor on a slow night. When I asked why our margarita were $14.25 each I was told their well tequila is Patron. Tortillas were raw. Only three tortillas with a full fajita meant. Do not recommend. Oh, and our three tacos togo here $5 each for tiny tacos.

    Chimichanga with enchilada sauce

    Great food awesome service. It's become a weekly destination. Chimichangas are on point especially when I special order it covered with enchilada sauce and cheddar cheese. Which they do with a happy attitude. Love it here.

    We were in the area the other day and was craning some Mexican food, primarily tacos. This place came up as the closest to us at the time. We decided to come here and grab a meal. To my surprise, their taco selection was limited. I wanted a chorizo taco, but was told that they could not do that, rather can have a chorizo burrito instead. I opted for the special of the day - enchilada rancheros. The dish was mediocre and was nothing special. The portion size was large. My sister ordered the chicken quesadilla and ground beef taco. Both were also just normal. The service was very friendly and our waitress was attentive to our needs.

I was excited to go here as I had been meaning to visit for at least 6 months. I wasn't disappointed. This taqueria is the real deal, and very authentic. I also appreciate it's LGBTQ owned, and like to be inclusive in how I spend money. The tacos are amazing I had two there, and took two home. They were all delicious and not one disappointed. Their taco menu is very extensive, and it's nice that they have a lot of vegetarian options as well. One of my favorites was the one with mole ,and poblanos, also the chicken one, also the carnitas. Flavors so rich and satisfying. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. Extremely quick service which I love. Even though I only speak a little bit of Spanish. I tried, and they were very welcoming. They are fluent in Spanish. I knew it was an authentic taqueria when I heard a native spanish speaker speak Spanish at the counter. I don't want to leave out their drinks as they have quite a selection both alcoholic, and non alcoholic. I tried the horchata, which was amazing. I have been craving Pozole for a long time, and they had it as a special chicken with green sauce, and pork and a red sauce. Both simply amazing and a great deal. This restaurant is very reasonable, and you get quite a lot for the money. Last but not least I can't forget the ambiance which felt very authentic, and reminded me of being in a Taqueria in Mexico or Southern California. the place is decorated very thoughtful with a lot of candles, and many shrines. They also have a love of Mariah Carey and saw many photos of here in the restaurant. They have both outdoor seating and indoor seating. A lot of plants outside which all seem very happy and well cared for. I love this place, and will be going back for sure. The place is very casual which I appreciate. Keep up the great work your doing Taqueria Los Punales. Viva Taqueria Los Punales. Viva la Raza. Viva Mexico!

By the time we left around 6 PM, the dinner rush had started and a line was forming at the door. The interior is well decorated, modern, and clean. The server was friendly and service was fast. We ordered the bowl, one with carnitas and other with avocado. Both were very tasty! You can tell that the ingredients were fresh, the carnitas were tender and well seasoned. They also had a mango hot sauce brought to the table in a bottle that is amazing. I drenched my bowl with the sauce for the extra kick and flavor. The bowls are very filling. We ended up boxing up half of our food to bring home and finish for a late dinner. Would definitely come again and try their hot sandwiches.

I have had some meals at the bar where the bartenders were genuinely engaged knowledgeable and happy to walk you through their agave list which only enhances the whole experience. I will be honest and say that the service can sometimes lean into the typical Portland vibe of aloof and uninterested but there have also been moments especially at the bar where the staff really shines and makes you feel welcome and taken care of. Even with that quirk the overall experience is fantastic and it does nothing to take away from how much I enjoy eating here. If you are in Portland and love great tortas bold flavors and exciting drinks Guero is absolutely worth a stop. I will continue to come back every time I am in town and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal.
