Mole burrito
Tiffany V.

Love this spot! Great vibes and delicious food + presentation. Service was very friendly & there's a hand washing station near the order window. Can't really beat it. Portland is lucky to have such a cute spot like this one.

Los Tres Amigos Burrto and two tacos. Perfect score A+
Taj A.

Wow. Wow. WOW!!! After soaking in the heated pool at Kennedy School my physique needed calories and a warm, thicc burrito in the wildest way. The 3 meat burrito here, w the 3 different sauces MIGHT be the Portland burrito GOAT. How is this place never busy when I go? TF is wrong with yall ??? Every bite gave me the satisfaction of a perfect Mission burrito in San Francisco. The meat quality and seasoning is straight FIRE somebody call the fire dept this shi is out of control delicious. How the hell am I not coming here at least monthly??? Wife got her mole and tinga tacos, loves both but is especially about the mole, said it's like abuela made it. There are aspects where modern Portland feels like the best parts of 90's SF and Berkeley and Mole Mole in instrumental is giving me a little bit of my youth back here in the PNW. Bro- what are you doing go there now

Great menu and service is super quick. It is part of the 23rd food carts so there is also a lot of seating both covered and in the sun.

Rainbow mole so amazing so flavorful

Mole mole is part of a food cart corrale. The menu is huge and has various of Latin dishes.

Tres mole
Elliott W.

Oh me oh my! First time to PDX and Mole Mole! Was at the top of the Eater reds list and it did not disappoint. This may have been the very best plate of Mexican food I've ever had, anywhere, anytime. I'm on a hunt for mole and wow... this mole was perfection on a plate. I loved all three! Enjoyed a beer with my meal next door at Baerlic.

Ambiance: 7/10 eclectic. Service: 6/10 kind people Food: 7/10 very good for a reasonable price. $30 total for a burrito, mole enchiladas and salsa Chips & Salsa 7.5/10 I got seconds bc it was so good. Perfect spice. Good portions. Enchiladas: 7/10 Pink: earthy & sweet. Beautiful color from the beets. Brown: chocolate-y and sweet. Green: nutty from pistachios. Really unique flavors I'd never tried before. Beautiful colors and great way to try unique foods like mole Burrito: 7/10 great burrito, big portion, reasonable price. Delicious and filling. Plates: just look at the plates we were using. They were beautiful. I'm sure it made the food taste better being served in this.

In Portland for over a week to visit and wanted to hit a few food carts in the process. I heard a lot about this place and checked it out early in the visit. It did not disappoint! My wife had tacos and I had wet mole burrito. It was so good! Really, do not miss this cart.

So good! So much to offer and they are fast. Service was friendly and there is some benches to sit at to enjoy your food. I loved the vibe of the area and there's nearby thrift stores to check out as well if you'd like!

Nachos and a cold beer

Stopped by for a quick lunch on the weekend. As part of a food cart pod with a lot of cover seating, this place serves up a great plate of nachos with crisp chips and fresh toppings. I will be back to try their other featured dishes. The vibe is relaxed but vibrant as part of the Alberta Art district. This is also located next to the Baerlic Brewing which is great for grabbing a cold microbrew with the meal. All in all, Mole Mole hits the mark for quality food, friendly service, and an easygoing atmosphere

Carnitas Burrito
Gerard Y.

$10 for a carnitas burrito is a good deal in my book. Lots of meat in it as I felt satisfied after I finished it. I also got an horchata to go along with the burrito and I'm glad it wasn't overly sweet.

Tres Enchiladas Plate (Chicken)
Oscar O.

Love this place. Came here on a beautiful Monday afternoon for lunch and the Tres Mole Enchilada plate hit the spot. The mole is packed with rich flavor and the service was very fast. One of my go to spot for lunch or dinner. A must try if you are in the Alberta Arts area.

I got the tres enchiladas so that I could try the pink, brown and green mole sauces. The pink was pretty weak and I didn't really love it. Similar with the green. Both also felt underseasoned. The brown one I liked and would order again, although I've also had better brown mole elsewhere. For each of the enchiladas I got carne asada. It wasn't very good. Very small bites of meat, somewhat dried out, no intramuscular fat, probably a very cheap cut of meat. The rice really stood out as excellent to me though. Nice individual grains, nicely seasoned, good amount of bite to it, very well done. I also got two tacos: one chorizo and one carnitas. The tacos themselves were pretty good. Seemed pretty fresh and stuff. Which is possibly the most important part of a taco to me, so yeah, that was pretty solid. Each of the meats were a little dry though. It also could have used some sauce. For desert I got a caramel churro. It wasn't good. It kinda just tasted like a homogeneous, overly starchy, bland thing. A little oily too. The brown mole was good and so was the rice, so I think I'd stop by to order that again if I were in the area. With carnitas as my meat; it was better than the carne asada. I wouldn't get the asada again.

I saw this place on several peoples videos and more than one person had high praise for these guys. So i figured I might as well check it out because it looked great in the videos I have seen. I was not disappointed at all. Decided on the tres mole with the carne asada and it also came with rice. I have had the traditional mole but the verde or green and the rose I have never tried. So I was definitely intrigued by the two other sauces. So happy I got to try this definitely worth the trip as we were staying across town near the airport. The flavors were great with each one having a unique profile. If you have had traditional mole then you know the flavor profile of traditional flavor which I really enjoyed, then you have the green sauce which if you like tomatillo salsa you will enjoy this one. The real wild card is the rose or red sauce that is the different one that I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it well I did. If you enjoy well made Mexican food then you definitely have to try these guys out. i liked it that I did not have to add anything to it the flavors were great without adding anything. That is rare that I get a dish that does not need a little something. This dish comes out perfectly seasoned. The menu is fairly good sized so I will be going back so I can try out more of the delicious menu items. The ambiance is ok I like the neighborhood and how easy it is to walk some people may not like it , parking can be a little tricky but if you're patient you will find some.

Enchiladas (carnitas) it was only ok it was a tad bit salty and, a few hard parts (I'll definitely would get the chicken next time). Chicken Fajitas were good but, it's a different taste from other places I've had it (my love enjoyed it he said it had a very authentic flavor). Rice (fluffy) and Beans (well seasoned) both were really delicious. Service~Pearlina was super sweet, knew the menu very well and, had exceptional service. She made sure we had everything we needed and, continue to check on us throughout our meal. Ambiance~It's has a very calming vibe and atmosphere. I love the fact they have a privacy strip on the windows (so no one walking by watches you eat). It's a family owned restaurant and, I would recommend giving them a try. I feel what we ordered was worth it but, everything (except water) has a charge. Only street parking and, lots of indoor/outdoor seating.

Both the fish and the prawns were cooked in a red sauce that was delicious! I meant to ask for blue corn tortillas but was so excited to find shrimp & fish tacos that weren't deep-fried that I forgot to ask for them. The regular corn tortillas were excellent, though, so it was not a bad mistake to make. I also had jamaica to drink and let me tell you... it was not made from a mix! It was dark, thirst-quenching, and perfectly made. Most jamaica is super sweet - this was not! I love the flavor of real hibiscus and this did not disappoint. My friends had chile relleno bowls and birria tacos, all of which was excellent. Their watermelon margaritas were tasty and refreshing! Our orders were taken by a helpful person at the cash register and the food was served quickly by a friendly server. The inside and outside areas were clean and tidy, with plenty of seating available at the outside tables. The outdoor seating area is under cover making it a good choice for both summer & winter dining. Definitely going on my "have to go back and try something else" list!

I love that they offer a vegetarian option for the tasting menu and I expect no less from Portland. Every dish seemed like it was designed with so much care and is meant to elevate traditional ingredients without being too pretentious. I still remember the tetela and huarache...and also the arroz and frijole and so much more. My partner had his favorites as well. My only critique is I wish dessert (flan) was lighter but it could just have been us since we don't typically eat/enjoy flan. However I do like that it's not so sweet. Space-wise the restaurant is large and beautifully moody with light coming in from the windows during the morning. We were the only ones dining at 10am and it got busier around 11am. Service is top-notch as well and the staff and owner know what they're doing

We decided to do the $45 lunch deal where we let them feed us and basically got a 10 course lunch (totally worth it)! Since we tried so many things, some courses were a miss and some were a big hit. It was really fun! Some of my favorites were the arroz con frijoles, yes the rice and beans! They are so flavorful and served with house made tortillas. I think my favorite thing was the tostada topped with white beans, cabbage, and roasted corn - insane! I also loved the Huarache with adobo squash and I'm not normally into smokey things, but everything just worked together. I wasn't the biggest fan of one of the moles we were served, but there was a sweeter one that was paired with eggplant that I couldn't stop eating. We ended the meal with 2 desserts and 1 came with a candle for our friend, which is always such a lovely gesture. The fried concha was incredible!! GET IT! Ours had ground cherries and a lime whipped cream and I would come back just for that. This is definitely a spot that's worth the tasting menu! There are so many flavors to explore you will want to try everything!

Inside is my favorite spot - the light is good, everything is nice, and it stays cooler in the hot months (won't everything be the hot months soon?). My friend loves eating outside - those adjustable, wall-mounted tables are great. I have only had four items from their menu: the bean torta (the first thing I bought and took to eat with a friend - so long ago I remember nothing!), the tostada (nothing that stands out, but definitely fresh), the burger (I got it without ham and it blew my mind!), and the Cart Bowl. Reader, there is something about that bowl that makes it almost impossible to order something else. I did those two times, but once I had tasted the Cart Bowl with their chicken and avocado, it was game over. For a while (3 years?), I came here with a friend every Thursday evening. Every Thursday I had the bowl. I never got tired of it. The way they cook their meat, the flavors of all the ingredients when combined, always tastes perfect. I have had their margaritas. They are really delicious!! They also have bottle and tap beer options. I usually come during the day, so try to resist the margarita (margarita = mid-day nap time), but I look at other people's longingly. It is first come, first seated. The weekday lunch rush can be frustrating, so don't come if you have limited time to get back to work.

Güero is a VERY popular place, based on how crowded it was on my weekday evening visit. Despite…read morethe crowd, we were able to get a seat right away. Staff is very friendly, professional, and helpful. Ambiance is very casual, and the menu is small and specialized. Chips were remarkably good, as were all of the sauces.

We asked for the bean dip, but we found out when we received our bill that it's not complimentary anymore. Bummer. It was good, but not worth the extra $5. They were extremely generous with their chips and salsa, so in the end we were okay paying the extra $5. We ordered the chicken quesadilla and charbroiled burger. Both were great! Fresh ingredients.
