Great tacos. Veggie Taco was especially loaded - had rice, beans, lettuce, sour cream, cheese, avocado, onions. In general, the taco size was much bigger than what we are used to at other trucks in the area. There is some seating as well. read more

The rice here is horrible -- it tastes like straight oil and flour They seriously need to improve it because it has almost no flavor at all and is very greasy I ended up throwing away my sides of rice I ordered because it just didn't taste right. Very disappointed read more

Good Mexican food, reasonable prices. Opens late. There is always a small line here no matter the day and time.

My partner & I love this place. We are about 15min away from here but will make the drive for some solid food. What I've realized however is that service & accuracy tank at night. We have gotten burritos with hard, flavorless rice. We get tacos where they completely change the meat & swap it out with something different. We also have gotten nachos with the wrong meat. During the day, the accuracy, the taste, & everything else is spot on. It's disappointing to sometimes be met with inaccurate orders. read more

Absolutely the best place! Every single thing about this business was a pleasant experience from the food to customer service. It was a very welcoming environment and overall my favorite place I've ever gotten tacos from. Will forever be my favorite taco truck to go to. Thank you so much for the privilege to be able to enjoy your food. read more

La Catrina - 4 Carnitas Tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

My go to. 10/10 recommend!!! Their burritos, tacos, tortas & horchata are so yummy. Their service is A1!

***SCAM ALERT ‼*** My family has been coming to this place for over a decade. I never imagined I'd be leaving a negative review for a spot that used to be our favorite go-to for tacos. Be on the lookout; the current staff are scammers. First incident: I ordered 5 tacos ($2.50 each) for pickup with extra onions and cilantro. When I got there, the cashier rang me up for $12.50, but then she fiddled with the register and suddenly the total jumped to $20. I didn't think much of it at the time (which is exactly what they want is for you to not pay attention). I paid and drove off, but later I started wondering if the prices had gone up again. I let it sit overnight. Second incident: I ordered 5 tacos again (still $2.50 each). The cashier rang me up for $12.50, just like before, but when he came back to take my card, the total suddenly shot up to $25. I called him out on it, but he claimed it was an error with the register. Takeaway: When you look down to get your cash/card, they'll sneakily adjust the total on the register. Don't make the same mistake I did. We're a huge fan of their tacos but it's a shame they've started this scamming practice. Will be looking for another taco place. read more

Amazing tacos and burritos at a low price. Favorite: Al Pastor tacos, Cabeza tacos, Supreme Burrito read more

Really good chicken taco plate. The chicken was a tiny bit dry but the food will have me coming back. Recommend.

FINALLY LEGIT MEXICAN FOOD IN PORTLAND METRO!!!! I wish I could give this lonchera fifty stars, today was my first time and I will be back again and again, if you are Chicano like me and grew up eating real Mexican food you will see this is truly the only "Mexican food" that is legitimate in all of Oregon. read more

BEST STREET TACOS EVER! I highly recommend this place. They're tacos are cheaper on Wednesday, but it doesn't even matter because it's so good I just pay the extra $0.25. Beware of what time you're going to order because during lunch or dinner you could possibly wait 30 minutes for your food. They are a bit conservative with their lime and sauces but just ask for extra and there won't be any additional charge. Recommendation: grab their phone number and put a to-go order in so you could skip the line. read more

La Catrina - Carne Asada Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

Ordered the taco plate with Al Pastor and everything from the beans to the taco had a weird taste to it. It's like they cooked it with dirty water. The meat did not have pineapple flavor at all. We also ordered a burrito which was very oily. I felt sick after eating one taco and some rice and beans, I threw the rest away. Something is off with this place. Will not eat here again. read more

They gave me the wrong order. The asada was over cooked . An when I called them to get my order fixed they told me they charged me for what I got rather than fixing my order . Bad customer service as well. It will be the last time I go to that taco truck. read more

I love this taco truck! I eat here about once a week or so. I've never had a bad meal here. They're really consistent, and the chorizo tacos are to die for! I highly recommend that you get here and enjoy the deliciousness afforded by this wonderful Taco Truck. read more

The food was great, the tacos taste just like the ones I get in Mexicali and the rice and beans are delicious, the prices are great! The service is on point, very fast and friendly. favorite spot from now on. read more

Still has the best tacos. Been going here for years and will continue to do so. Parking lot sucks but that's not in their control read more

The food is excellent. I haven't ever had anything there that was substandard. I highly recommend it.

La Catrina always hits the spot. I grew up in SE Portland and ever since I could remember this has been the go to spot in Portland to get the best tacos. I personally only get their tacos here because the price and taste can't be beat. There carne asada tacos are the best in my opinion. Their lengua tacos are pretty good too. They're open late so that's a plus. read more

This place, La Catrina, is a riot. It's a food cart or food truck on a pebbly lot along S.E. 82nd that serves up a bunch of different Mexican food items. Spending my formative years in SoCal at a time when the prevailing mindset was dismissive of food trucks has influenced how I view them today. However, in years of driving down S.E. 82nd, I would see tacos for 99 cents on Wednesdays advertised in front of Rocco's bar and thought it was the bar that had might have had a Taco Wednesday. Nope. It's the food truck that offers them up at that price. One can choose beef, chicken, and other fillings. I chose chicken. The cilantro came with them, but I had them omit the onions, telling the lady there, "Sin cibolla, por favor." She engaged me in Spanish, which is something I like because it means I can keep up what I learned in college. After a while, I approached the counter and asked, "?Mis tacos son listos?" She put the clamshell and some napkins in a plastic bag and handed it to me, so that obviously signaled "affirmative." I had never been to Rocco's before and they told me that it's cool for customers to bring in their taco deals, so I did. When I bit into these two tacos, they were delicious and the chicken was tender and flavorful. And, at that price, complaining is out of the question. They were better than what I've had at some restaurants which were supposed to be good (*cough*). Not only that, the lady working there was nice. It would be interesting to see what else La Catrina serves up. read more

I used to really love this place but over the years this place has gone down for me. The food is still pretty good but the problem I have with it is the price. They raised their prices almost 3x what it used to be. I will give them the benefit of the doubt but unfortunately that is what has been keeping me away from this establishment. I still believe that La Catarina's Green sauce is unmatched. The sauce is what I come here for. If you're planning on going to this place late at night, be prepared to wait a good 30 to 40 minutes as it gets really busy. Overall still like this place but find myself going there less and less. read more

Amazing anytime and a great late night option. I've eaten here many times and have never been disappointed'

Food was more than great and really like how they are opened late no matter the day of the week.

Known for their $1 tacos on Wednesday's. Been here multiple times so it's safe to say that I'm not a fan and I think it's mainly because the tortilla is SUPER soft and not cooked for long enough so it just ruins the taste of the tacos. The only place I refuse to eat tacos at now. read more

Hooray for Lengua Tacos. I totally treasure the taste and texture of tender tongue tacos. The version at La Catrina may not be the best (and they're not), but they are relatively quick and convenient from this taco truck in SE Portland near Clackamas. * Lengua Taco (3 stars) I tried a trio of these Beef Tongue Tacos. They weren't terrific or terrible. They were tolerable. I'll get them again when in need. * Al Pastor Taco (2 stars) Poor pork and a sweet sauce doomed the La Catrina version of marinated and grilled Pork Tacos. There is a small, shared parking lot and about 4-5 picnic tables available. Like most food trucks, a visit here will be dependent on the weather and your desire for convenient and quick Mexican-style tacos and burritos. read more

I've attended this food cart many times and is quite popular within the area. This is probably some of the best and most authentic Mexican food within the Clackamas/Happy Valley area. Every time I eat here I know it's going to be a satisfying experience. I've had the Carne asada burrito, and it's on point every time with a generous portion of meat with refried beans, rice and spices. Their taco are delicious too and hard to resist, especially on Wednesdays when they're only a dollar. Not to mention their menu contains so many entree options with so many different meats to choose from. I'm going to have to start trying different items out from this place, as their food has been so enjoyable and delicious every time. read more

no doubt some of the freshest, best mexican food in the city. better than any sit down and half the price. you can grab a drink at the bar while they make your food and it is always served out quickly. great seating if you want to stay and eat outside. can't recommend it enough. read more

I usually love the taco salads here but today it was awful. Hardly any flavor and very sad looking. the workers took forever my partner stated, not the usual workers He have seen before and I had a used fork with sour cream on it in my to go container next to my taco salad. read more

Really really good tacos. The meat is always juicy and the flavor is so good! Honestly it's so good to have food truck food that tastes authentic. I have come to this place quite a bit. read more

Everything but the kitchen sink. The only way to describe such a sandwich. It's hedonistic and frivolous and gratuitous. And good. This torta is also gargantuan. And I am describing the smaller of their two kitchen sink tortas, the cubanita ($6.50). I have never even been tempted to even try the larger version called the torta cubana ($10.00). So what's in this sandwich, you ask? More than anyone needs. Fried egg, ham, hot dog, milanesa (a breaded thin fillet in case you didn't know), American and Jack cheese, avocado, tomato, and jalapenos. All this on a bolillo of course. This ends up being a salty mess-o-flavor that will sit in your belly like a rock. I have never decided if it is worth it, but I keep coming back for more. They also have the usual tacos, burritos, and other tortas, none of which I have tried yet, but plan to if I can ever put down the cubanita. Also, it is important to note that this is a taco truck. In a gas station parking lot. But they do have a semi-perminant structure that you can sit an eat in. Parking can be tough. read more

I went back. Wanted a breakfast burrito post Post Pardum Doctor visit at Kaiser. Really wanted a tasty and filling breakfast burrito. Dry eggs, rice at the bottom. Could use some avocado. The salsa was off. they added way too much pepper. It was also $6.50 for a burrito. That is $1.50 too much, at least, if not more. I am sure these were not farm fresh eggs, they tasted like mass factory farm ones (i only know since I became a fresh-from-the-coop-snob). They also just cooked them a little too much. With that, as if it was not enough to be disappointed in the burrito enough.. the salsa was changed up. They made it far too hot. BOTH the green and red.. BUTT especially the red sauce. Why did I spell BUTT that way? I had a gig that night that involved sweating, and running after I threw down a track, every 2-3 songs for about an hr. Spent a good portion of the night (this is 11 hrs later) with serious intestinal issues. Asses of Fire. Anal Holocaust. Lots of prayers and rocking forward, back, side to side. I am looking forward to letting go of this experience. Luckily I am on a road trip to CA to full fill my need for a good breakfast and veggie burrito, and to help me heal from this experience. I hope the owner is listening.. I feel like I was part of an experiment, to see what the human body can handle in terms of heat. I survived. Are you happy? read more

Tasty tacos, bomb burritos and.......I can't think of anything that rhymes with torta other than tasty, and that has been used already so..... So far I love everything they have to offer here, but by far my favorite is the carnitas. They make a mean carnitas burrito that will fill you up for the rest of the day. One of the better burritos that I have had in a while, as it is filled not only with heavenly carnitas, but the rice and beans are well seasoned and delicious. Nothing is worse than rice and beans that taste just like, well, rice and beans. This is the best $5 I have spent in a while. They also have sopes, huaraches and tamales that I have yet to try, but I am sure I will since they are located just down the street from me. read more
