    Bowl
    Jan C.

    I had a take out bowl and gee was it stuffed! If you're able to I would recommend having a separate bowl to mix it up well to enjoy. I liked the carnitas and the tamarind tomato. The differences in textures and flavors was very welcome. Felt very fresh and pretty healthy.

    While it's usually packed, Güero has outstanding ambience for a casual little spot. As a gluten free person, I appreciate their bowl, which is delicious.

    Wow. Wow. Wow. That is all I have to say. Güero was absolutely delectable and took our breaths away. It is a place that specializes in tortas, but they are done so well. This place was our absolute favorite from our time in Portland. We got their Pollo Pibil. This was a huge torta and we split this. It was so savory and delicious. The shredded chicken was so tender and flavorful. I'm craving it just writing about it now. We also got the Ahogada and the Tostada De Camote. Both were also really good and big portions! The drinks were fabulous and nicely sweet. Definitely going to make it back soon!

    Delicious. I have had multiple good meals here, and I absolutely recommend. Chill ambiance and attentive service. I dont always love gotta, but theirs are awesome, bread is perfect texture and super fresh. Bowls are awesome too. Very solid Mexican if you want a sit down spot.

    Popped in for lunch and got the bowl. It was good but I wish there was a bit more flavor. I love that it's built with arugula. There are a lot of stuff textures in the bowl. Loved the corn in it. Service was great. Inside was very beautiful with lots of seating.

    Such a nice spot in a cute neighborhood! The bar area and decor are very welcoming, and so are the staff. I had my giant suitcase with me, and my server asked if I'd like the suitcase safely stored in the back until I finished my meal..super helpful! My torta was flavorful and loaded with chicken, and the mango salsa gave it the perfect added acidity. I was definitely eyeing the hamburger that the person next to me was eating, though. It looked juicy and flavorful. I told my server that I was headed to the airport, so she gave me paper and a box to securely wrap my leftovers (the sandwich was pretty big!). I sat in the cute outdoor seating area to take in the neighborhood while waiting on my uber. Definitely a must-visit!

    Omg literally one of the best tortas I've had. The bollio was perfectly crispy and the meat was so juicy. We came in 20 ish minutes before closing and they still let us in. The chips and dips were so good but the beans and guacamole take the cake. The salsa on the table was amazing I wish I could take it home. Definitely one of the best things Portland has to offer.

    I was in the area and this place popped up on a quick Google search....so happy that I was able to try Güero. The portion sizes are huge and I love how the tortas were not too overbearing and heavy. It's not the best one I've ever had, but it's not horrible either. Also, this place is packed! We had to wait probably 20 to 30 minutes to take out food. Thankfully, the restaurant is embedded in a beautiful neighborhood, so we took a quick walk. I'd be interested to try other things, as there seems to be a lot of hype around this restaurant.

    Torta menu!!

    I can't stop thinking about these Torta's! This was the best tasting food we had in Portland. The staff were so pleasant and delightful. The space was perfectly curated and beautiful! But lets get to the food, we orderd the trio of dips with chips (super fresh and flavorful). When it came to the Torta, I was amazed by how flavorful the vegetarian version was, the best Torta i've ever had in my life. From the tamarind tomatoes, to the perfectly crisp potato, the Torta left us very full and wanting to extend our trip. We were the first customers, but about 10 min in, the place was packed. Rightfully so. If you haven't gone here, you must, and if you want to come to Portland for some legit Mexican food, do not leave without trying Guero. If Michelin were in Portland, this would get some stars. Yes, it was that good. Exceptional and this will be hard to beat!

    The bowls here are great! I got a carnitas bowl, and it was delicious. The bowl was flavorful, and the meat was tender. I also enjoyed the ratio of ingredients in the bowl. There were tons of veggies and not too much rice. However, the "tortas" were a bit disappointing. As a Californian who has had my fair share of authentic tortas, I didn't think the sandwiches here quite hit the spot. If you're craving authentic tortas, don't come here.

    It's been a minute since I went here. We came here for a quick brunch as we were in the area. The place was pretty busy with both the indoor and outdoor seats being filled up. We just kept it simple and ordered a couple of items - desayuno torta and a bowl (added carnitas and avocado). The torta was great as it they had the crispy fried cheese inside it. The bowl was also delicious and well balanced. The addition of the carnitas and avocado made a difference. Overall, we enjoyed it and will try to come back sooner than later.

    This place had been on my list of places to try for the longest time, but I just recently gotten the chance to try it! I thought the place itself looked really cute and the service workers were very attentive. I had gotten myself a few things to try out. For a drink I had gotten the emotional support drink. I thought that it was fruity and strong tasting. As for food I had gotten myself the carnitas torta and the esquites. I thought the carnitas torta was very tasty, it was juicy and the bread was nicely toasted leaving a nice crisp texture to the mouth. For the esquite, it had tasted more mayo like initially but it has a spice to it that slowly crept up on me. Adding on the bathrooms here are nice and clean! I can see this being a neat place to enjoy with friends!

    Pollo bowl
    Steph S.

    A really cute space with plenty of indoor seating. Convenient pick up door so you don't have to wade through those waiting for a spot. The chips were hearty and perfectly salty accompaniment to the incredibly flavorful guac. The bowl is a hearty portion of food! I asked for no pinto beans but they made an appearance anyways and I was actually glad they were there. I had assumed it would be a lot of rice but there wasn't as much as expected so it helped beef it up. I got the pollo and wished I had asked what the spice level was after my lips got that "girrl you're not prepared" tingle and had my husband enjoy the rest after I had to tap out. His tostado looked tasty but was a smidge on the small side for the price. The service was just okay for how few folks were in there but know everyone has an off day.

    Ask the Community - Güero

    Do you have gluten free substitute for the bread?

    No they do not, they suggest to get the bowl or tostadas instead for gluten free options

    So, really no tortillas here? I'm Mexican, I need a tortilla to eat my food.

    Correct. It is a torta-centered restaurant.

    Can you plain rice in the bowls instead of lime rice?

    Probably not. Mexicans put lime on almost everything. Perhaps they could switch over and offer the lime on the side...

One thing that bothered me though (and I know maybe I'll get hate for this), is I feel like some of the decor is tone deaf. They have a bunch of colonial men ceramic decor, but they partner with and serve food from a Filipino company. I'm Filipino and it was a bit offensive to me because even if the point of having them is trying to make fun of them, it's not really funny. We were colonized for over 300 yrs and still deal with the trauma from it. Please consider removing the colonial decor. I really enjoyed the bar and want to enjoy it in the future, but I don't think it's necessary to have those things in the bar and doesn't add anything to how cool the bar is apart from that. UPDATE: the bar messaged me. They were super professional and kind in their response. I really appreciate that they were open to my perspective on the colonial items and said they will be removed. Thank you so much!! Looking forward to enjoying the bar in the future
