    Taco pastor
    Marlowe C.

    TEN STARS! This place is so great it reminds me of the tacos from back in LA with the ambiance of Mexico. She makes the best hand made tortillas, marinades the meat to perfection, and provides very warm service to everyone. This place is a hidden gem on Williams

    Amazingly delicious! Friendly and gracious. Our favorite burrito in town. . And try the carrot pickled condiments.

    Amazing salsa roja
    Sean R.

    The tacos were good, but not anything out of the ordinary IMO, but the standout here was the salsa roja - tasty w/ some serious heat which has been a bit hard to find in this town even w/ so many taco trucks. I also really like the ambience, plenty of tables to sit at, w/ a mix of self made coverings to give it an open air, semi indoor type of vibe. At $3.50 a taco, price is standard. May be back again just for that salsa.

    This place was incredibly underrated. Do not sleep on this place! My sister and I were in the area to run an errand and wanted to grab lunch before we did. We parked around the corner from Loa, but we were hit with amazing smells. We followed the aroma to Quesabrosa, which was a food truck across the street. Maybe because I was hangry, but I was antsy on getting my food. I felt it took a while to make our food (more than 5 minutes to just make tacos), but I could see the love that went into making the food. Everything was made from scratch. Case and point: their hard taco shells, which were excellent by the way. They don't use store bought taco shells! Quesabrosa legit deep fried their tortillas in the shape of the shells, and they came out so crunchy. My sister ordered the al pastor in the hard taco shells, and I was lightweight jealous that I didn't order it. I got a fish taco and a veggie taco, and they were great. I could tell their tacos were made-to-order, the produce tasted so fresh, and the flaky, tender fish was lightly pan fried.

    Veggie Sope and Fish Taco
    Nooshi B.

    Quesabrosa is where it's at! Their fish taco is honestly one of the best I've ever tasted. Their handmade tortillas are to die for and the seasoning they use on the fish is mouth watering. The Veggie Sope was hearty and loaded with toppings. I definitely couldn't finish the two items I ordered. I was hoping for a tad more flavor on the Sope, but overall it was great! Service was so friendly and welcoming!

    Tacos (carnitas, steak, chicken)
    Scott S.

    Had three tacos (steak, chicken, and carnitas). They were all good and meat quality was nice to where it didn't have much fat or gristle. Cart has a multiple spots to sit with some heated indoors and a little back patio. Both red and green salsa are really good. The tortillas were nice and didn't fall apart which was impressive.

    You really can't beat 3 breakfast tacos for $10 w hand made tortillas. I love a fresh tortilla.
    Mel K.

    Can't beat the price compared to other places nearby. And tortillas made by hand! Delicious and support local small biz!

    Salsas are weak, decent tacos

Extra side of yummy and creamy black bean frijoles with sour cream, butter, tortillas. Instead of desert, the Mezcal, chile and lime was refreshing. Right now open for lunch Thursday through Sunday 10-3pm. No fixed menu, changes with what's fresh - the way chef Angel loves to cook respecting what is in season.

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.

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.

Guero also has fantastic drinks and their destilados offering is truly outstanding. Whether you are exploring mezcal tequila or other agave spirits the selection here is thoughtful and exciting. 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.
