    Carne Asada Bowl
    Linda P.

    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.

    I've been coming here since they opened and it is consistently amazing! The workers are kind and the food always comes out quickly. Today we chose to eat in the car but usually we stay and eat in the restaurant. It has lots of natural light , plants & colorful decor! I love this place and whenever I am by PSU I make sure to stop by and grab a bite !!

    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!

    Mole Poblano Burrito
    Albert P.

    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!

    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.

    Awesome tortillas, wonderful carnitas, but the veggie was meh.

    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.

    Epazote Mushroom Quesadilla and chips and salsa
    Andrew A.

    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.

    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!

    This is a great place for authentic Mexican cuisine. They also have excellent breakfast burritos as well. The interior is very nice and new, and there is a nice window out front to the street.

Such a small detail that makes a big difference. The Citrus Salad was super fresh, crisp, and delicious, which balanced everything out perfectly.

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.
