I hate to even have to give this place a one star. First and foremost I looooveee Mexican food, I was itching for a good champurrado (me no have dat), ok ceviche (me no have dat). Ok well damn what do you have?? I ordered a burrito bowl and horchata. Waited over 10 mins- everyone around me getting their order. What pissed me off was the person who ordered after me get the horchata I ordered. I ask the lady where is my horchata she stated I didn't order one. Pulls out receipt Well we don't have anymore horchata, there's Jamaica (if wanted Jamaica I would had ordered it). Please refund my entire meal and y'all can go head and keep your food - I'm all about energy, especially in the food I consume Nevertheless nice wall art read more

I would give this a 3.5 if that was an option. The staff were super friendly, and the food was fresh. The chicken was just a wee bit stringy, but the bread was perfect. I appreciate the torta came with a full range of accoutrements by default. Their bathroom was clean as was the restaurant as a whole. read more

I rarely eat Mexican food so I'm really not an expert in judging it's authenticity or quality. However, I certainly know when I enjoy a meal and when I don't. Unfortunately this meal fell into the latter category. I ordered several items delivered on GH so I can't speak as to the service or ambience, only the food. Im vegetarian so I was pleased to see several veggie options on the menu. I ordered two veggie tacos, a veggie burrito, the veggie enchiladas verde and the veggie enchiladas mole. Their takeaway containers are not divided into sections so everything slid together on its ride to me. My friend enjoyed his burrito but the other items were disappointing. The enchiladas and tacos were filled with sautéed strips of onion and green pepper only. There weren't any other veggies or even cheese to hold it all together. The beans and rice were bland. A more diverse mix of veggies cut into smaller pieces would have made things better. Included in our bag were 10 tiny containers of two different hot sauce that ranged from burn your tongue to flaming esophagus. These went into the trash quickly. A little mild salsa would have been far better. A lot of folks seem to enjoy Poblano Pepper so try it for yourself. My favorite Mexican place is still Allen's. read more

Food truck across from the Oregon Convention Year. I ordered the carne asada bowl. It was delicious! Came with 2 toys of sauce. One was quite spicy but delicious. My only complaint was that they had Pepsi products instead of Coke. Service was fast. read more

I am so happy to have found this place. The food here is so fresh and authentic that I keep coming back for more. I've ordered take out three times and plan on coming back again. They have one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. Their vegetarian options are great! Especially the mushroom and spinach quesadilla. Of course the meat option are also highly recommended. The only issue i have is that their flour tortillas are garlic or spinach flavored. There is no plain tortilla. Otherwise it wonderful. Check them out. You'll be happy you did! read more

Poblano Pepper - the dining area of a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Stumbled upon this place while walking around Portland. When I got there, there was nobody inside which is surprising. The mole poblano burrito is a MUST try. The mole is an amazing blend of sweet, chocolately, and well spiced. You will definitely be full after eating one. It's a great deal and great flavor. Definitely check it out! read more

A very solid Mexican spot, relatively new. They're pretty bustling during lunch. Not too many selections but definitely enough; they focused mainly on burritos and tacos. I enjoyed the Mole Al Pastor Burrito. Completely covered in mole, the burrito was full of meat and rice. A hefty meal but very good for the heart. read more

Poblano Pepper - Mole Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

2nd Visit The breakfast burrito menu on the window facing the sidewalk is different than the one behind the counter. This caused some confusion and ultimately a wrong order. Furthermore, the incorrect burrito wasn't wrapped properly so all the ingredients fell out after a few bites. The premium price fish taco was a big disappointment especially because it's topped with soggy iceberg lettuce. Lastly, there were limited bottles of hotsauce for those dining there. Overall, a bad experience unlike the first. 1st Visit The tacos are a cut-above as the tortillas are homemade, you can taste the difference. The carnitas was excellent, the veggie so-so; and that latter cost more which is odd. Refried beans seem to vary from place to place, here they're not watery. Taste and texture were okay. You get an ample portion for a good price. Too bad they don't offer the Chile Relleno other than as a burrito. And it would be great if there were more taco options. The hot sauce was also better than average, the orange one packs some heat. Service was friendly and they bring you the food. No stupid QR code, kiosk menu, or bussing your own table. read more

So any place I go to I usually order carne asada burrito or quesadilla but I was intrigued by the mushroom quesadilla. I have to say this worked amazingly well and was quite tasty. The service was good and the environment of the restaurant was very open and VERY CLEAN. I absolutely love this place and will definitely be going back. Also as a side note, they give you both salsas as seen in the back of the photo and just know both are spicy lol. I loved using them for my food but just be aware they have a nice kick to them. read more

Poblano Pepper - Epazote Mushroom Quesadilla and chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great food, everything we've tasted has been great. Their mushroom epazote burrito is my favorite dish out of any mexican restaurant I've visited. Appreciate how there is a nice vegan variety. Their dishes are very filling, with very generous servings and all of the employees I interacted with are extremely friendly. Got to know them through their food truck but like their expanded variety at their restaurant. read more

Don't do it! You'll be sorry!! Ordered 2 plates via grubhub with special instructions due to a food allergy. They shorted the order only delivering 1/2 of order and what did arrive had to be thrown away due to them not following instructions and leaving the prohibited food on the plate. When calling the restaurant, they hung up on my grubhub driver and me, then calling back with a different phone they refused to fix it and wouldn't give her name when I requested. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE read more

Carmelize, crispy carnitas + homemade corn tortillas = flavor sensation! Topped with chopped onion, fresh cilantro and lime, served piping hot and freshly made to order, these tacos are legit! Wow! After visiting the location at Bite on Belmont, I was thrilled to discover they had a brick & mortar location close to my hood. Definitely some of the best Mexican food in Portland, everything is fresh and flavorful. Their creamy avocado hot sauce is delicious and i Want to put it on everything. Especially the breakfast burrito. Inside is clean, bright, lots of natural light with a window facing street. Plenty of simple tables and chairs if you want to eat there. Service is friendly. Yay! read more

This establishment truly has authentic, and quality Mexican food! I was planning on just getting chipotle tonight, but I've walked by this place multiple times and wanted to try it out finally - Simply put, it did not disappoint. The person working was very friendly and let me take my time ordering what I wanted to eat. I asked him a few questions about the menu, and then ultimately decided on their Carne Asada Burrito, Breakfast Burrito, Chicken Taco, and a Pastor Taco - it was all incredible! The prices were actually reasonable for the quantity of food I received too. I was going in here PLANNING on buying a good amount of food since I wanted to try multiple things since it was my first time here. They got it out to me for a to go order in under 8 min as well, which was great to see. The food was very good and I didn't even get a chance to take pictures of it all because I ate it all too quickly! Would highly recommend this in the downtown Portland area and I will for sure be back! read more

Hearty tacos! Spicy sauces and sweet guava drinks. The staff super friendly and helpful. Can't wait to come back.

Either forgot or didn't make half my order, refused to refund or make the missing items for me to pick up. Called them when I realized the error and they claimed they could not find record of my order, despite me having a receipt and providing the order number. Frustrating customer service. read more

Great food! I used to go to the previous restaurant "Tito's" and was sad when it closed. But now I've been loving this place even more! I've had the carne Asada tacos and the bacon breakfast burrito and 10/10. My only note is the meat was a little dry in the tacos but they give you sauces and toppings that make up for it. Also the new owners + staff is super nice every time I come in, regardless what time of day it is. Also they changed the decor from the previous owners and I personally really like it! read more

Poblano Pepper - Tofu Taco (I took a bite lol) - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Some of the best tacos around! Absolutely love their hot sauce too! Friendly and attentive service!

I stumbled across their mobile food truck walking home from PSU like 7 years ago and haven't found better burritos since They are always super friendly and haven't messed up my order once, which is impressive as that happens all the time with other places! They're probably the only reason I come into Portland anymore. read more

I cannot believe at how incredible this place is. They have the absolute best Mexican in the downtown area. Heck, it's the best Mexican I've ever had. I truly mean that. It was a shame that Tito's Burrito's is gone and have been replaced by Poblano Pepper, but honestly, I think Poblano Pepper is better! The staff here is very friendly, the food is rich in flavor, and it's pipping hot and has some of the best flavors I've ever had. Do not skip on the Carne Asada burrito. In fact, anything you order will be incredible. Absolutely give this place a try! :) read more

Best food and service ever!!! My new go to lunch spot. Fresh food and clean establishment.

Definitely the best Mexican place downtown. I had the taco plate with carne asada and pastor. Both meats were perfectly seasoned and the asada had a great sear on it. The beans and rice were clearly fresh and made an excellent side. The salsas were great, habañero had some real kick to it. To top it all off, their tortillas appeared to be made in-house-- slightly fluffy and held up well to folding/the weight of the contents. read more

Really good Mexican food. The service is fast and friendly. The dining area has carved Mexican furniture, and is very appealing. My carnitas taco plate had a large portion of delicious meat, and tortillas that looked and tasted like hand made served on a Talavera plate. The beans were especially tasty. My husband's taquito dinner was attractively presented and just what he wanted. read more
