Got the gigante burrito con pollo. People only leave bad reviews, so take the hint. Apparently I gotta type more stuff. I started eating the foil because shit was so good. I need the cheese. read more

Let me be clear in exclaiming to the world that this is by far the best Carne Asada I've ever had! 10 out of 10 if you've got a thing about meat textures, this is perfect for you. The Carne Asada is chopped so fine so there's no room for weird chewy fatty pieces and it is so small that there is not an overwhelming amount of grease. They also pack in so much meat and double up their tortillas so one taco really you could split into two if that's your vibe. The people here are very friendly, remember our orders, and there is even a cute covered seating area! read more

Great little Mexican cart known best for their Taco Tuesday deals ($2 for chicken or pork tacos - cash only, must mention deal), but their burritos & nachos are pretty solid, too, especially the triple meat breakfast burrito!! The 2 ladies usually working there are always so kind and friendly! read more

Taco Express - 4 Al Pastor, 1 Carne Asada Taco - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My favorite Mexican food truck ever. Not only are the employees the nicest people, but the food is also soooooo good and I think very reasonably priced, especially for the large proportions you get! There is also a very nice covered and enclosed seating area with multiple tables to sit at. My #1 spot for probably 6 years at this point. read more

My favorite Mexican spot in portland. Right next to 808 grinds and gigantic brewery, nice spot to sit down at and catch a vibe. Food is relatively cheap, the three meat breakfast burrito is one of the best burritos I've ever had, all there other food is really great, good deal for tacos on Tuesday. The staff is lovely, really friendly with customers and take care of the food. read more

First time checking this place out for my girls to get their carnitas quota for the week. The reviews looks great and I remembered seeing the place when we got food from around the corner. Nice little outside eating space with 5 tables. We ordered the carnitas plate and an asada burrito supreme. We got home and plated it up. The carnitas had a really good taste but was a little greasy. The beans and rice were both really good. The asada burrito was good but not a lot of meat. The staff was friendly and wore masks. I'm curious about their tacos and other meat options and if we were to return we'd try something else. Nice place but this would not go on our must have list. read more

Love this place! The ladies that run it are super sweet and get the food out fast. We eat here a lot!

Food was bomb.com Service was super friendly and courteous Also got my order to me really quickly! Definitely coming back read more

I usually hit up 808 grinds across the street, but they were closed so got a chance to check this out, and I don't regret it! Got the Beef Fajita burrito, and it was pretty delicious. Good size, cheap price and pretty quick service. The lady working the counter was friendly, and I was pretty happy with everything. I'll definitely come back! Oh ya, they appreciate cash FYI. read more

I love a hole in the wall Mexican food spot, and this taco truck did not disappoint! I've been here a few times, and tried a few different dishes. Everything was good, but there are a couple things to note. First, they cook onions in their carne asada. So say you ask for no onions on your taco, they won't put any raw, chopped onions on top. But there will probably be at least one or two grilled onions, per taco, in the meat. I like it, but my hubby hates onions! So he skips the carne asada. (He recommends the carnitas!) We also had to drive back once after getting home only to realize our order was wrong. It happens, but it's a bummer when it does. I also wish the menus were more descriptive of what comes in the different dishes (the burritos, especially). But the people who work there are always nice, the prices are great, and the food is soooo good! Overall: 4.5 stars read more

First time here on a Taco Tuesday and was pleased. The food was quick, tasty and fresh. You get your choice of beef or chicken for $1.50 if you're paying cash. read more

Hands down the best food cart I've ever been to. Super yummy tacos. warm, soft, steamy goodness and very inexpensive. The breakfast burrito is also delicious - I've never had one with potatoes in it before and it really hit the spot! Also, the people are nice, service is good and the picnic table area is old-school comfy! read more

GREAT tacos! Luckily this truck is right around the corner from my house so the tacos were easily transported and still hot by the time I got home. My boyfriend and I ordered 12 tacos (two of each of the meats aside from lengua). Definitely recommend! I went around 7pm and they were still pretty busy. Salsas were great as well. A plus of this location is there's a brewery across the street. Couple of beers and tacos to-go! read more

Delicious food, very fast. Used to come here when I was a college student. Happy to see they're still here! Highly recommend! Never judge a book by its cover! Thank you, Taco Express :) read more

Ordered a chicken taco and a beef taco just for snacks. $2 each. Loved the beef taco as it was more juicy and flavorful than the chicken one. Would definitely come back for more beef tacos in the future. read more

Taco Express - Chicken and beef taco - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This was truly a culinary experience. Coming from Maui I'm used to paying $4 per taco. Also, when I stumbled across a taco truck adjacent to the eastmoreland golf course and reed college I was as skeptical as much as I'm a part time keto bro who crushes claws on the reg. But I must say, this place blew me away. The lengua and cabeza tacos tasted as though they had just butchered the cow in the parking lot and marinated it for 3 days in the 5 star hotel in flavor town. These were perfect tacos, I could eat these all day every day. And give. That this place is such a bargain I opted to grab the torta Cubana as well. I had no idea of what was inside when I ordered, but oh boy was it a pleasant surprise. It's like when you search through your couch cushions and find $600 and that rope chain you forgot about. The torta was bursting with all sorts of meats, I had no idea what I was eating but good night it was delicious. 10/10 would return. read more

Taco Express - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Ordered online using their app. When I arrived to pick up lady said there was no order placed. (Oddly, she wanted me to pay for an order that had been called in. We didn't call- we used the app and paid on the app). That seemed to really confuse her. Ok. I pulled up the order and showed her the paid receipt. She looked and studied it and repeated that she had no online order. She didn't deny I had a paid order, only repeated multiple times I needed to pay again if I wanted her to make the food. Right. She agreed I had a paid receipt. To her food cart. And wouldn't honor it. Told me to file a complaint. Said she couldn't give a refund as she had no order- even thou I showed that my card had been charged. Ummm. Ok. I'll start here and escalate to credit card company. Moral? Order 808 Grinds and skip the tacos. read more

I've gotten burritos from here twice and have had like no meat in it? I ordered Al pastor the first time and they gave me chicken instead with barley any chicken, and I ordered Al pastor again this week and they gave me asada with no meat in it? Both times wrong burrito and hardly any meat. 10.50 a burrito and they're decent but way better places to get burritos. King burrito is definitely still my go to. read more

Amongst the best Mexican food in Portland(easily the best in the SE). Great tacos, tortas, and burritos! Also, the gals who run this truck are the best. LOVE this spot! read more

Literally the best tacos in this area. I can't tell you how many other shops try to compare and I always find myself back to craving this one. They're family owned and get your food to you out quick. Their salsa verde and red sauce are on point. Where my mouth is still tingling. And literally they're only $1.40 so a hole meal is basically a little over $5 for me. You can't beat that hustle. They're always consistently good. I only wish they were open on Sunday's. read more

I dare you to find a more authentic or delicious place for street tacos in Portland. I've had good tacos in Portland, but this cart has the closest thing to Mexico I've had. So far I've only tried the asada and the ground beef tacos, but both were excellent. I plan to try a lot more in the coming weeks, so look for an update. The other great part about it is these tacos are only $1.25!!! Come fill up on yummy tacos without breaking the bank. read more

Food is very tasty. The tacos are inexpensive but not very big so be sure to order more than you would normally. We tried the al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, lengua, pollo, and chorizo and the al pastor was the crowd favorite. My wife got a burrito and it was very tasty too. There is a brewery next door so we went there to eat and try beer. read more

On my mission to try every taco plate in PDX.... I give this place a 9 out of 10. Nice outdoor seating (not good in super cold, but okay in rain). Very tasty tacos. Chicken and carnitas are the best. Rice and beans very good. I'll be back when I'm in the area. read more

With all due respect to Portland's many bougie Mexican restaurants or food carts, places like Taco Express are my ideal taco experience. Located in a rather nondescript parking lot in a light industrial corner of the Brooklyn neighborhood, Taco Express is straightforward Mexican staples served quickly by friendly employees. Tacos are only $1.25 a piece. They're a little small but for that price they're still a great bargain. The tortillas taste fresh and they're a little thick with a nice bite to them. There are plenty of fillings to choose from, and I'll personally vouch for their pastor, carnitas and lengua. Topped with onion and cilantro, they're pretty much the ideal street taco. Of course they've got burritos and other Mexican staples, and it seems that their breakfast menu is extensive and served at any time. There's plenty of picnic tables and outdoor seating, but I don't remember seeing anything covered. It's perfectly pleasant on a nice day, but if the weather is crappy I'd recommend getting it to go. read more

A neighborhood staple of ours when we're lazy and just want a really good burrito made by wonderful people.

Best Mexican place around here. Come here 2 times a week with really big orders. Love this place

Super authentic and delicious food! It's a husband wife team who are the nicest people and consistently put out classic Mexican favorites. No frills- just honest and good. The quality of protein is always really high- never fatty or weird and its all well priced. Randomly- I really love their french fries too! read more

Some of the best street tacos around. The tacos are only $1.35 each. They have a little salsa bar on the left beside where you order. I've tried the chicken and the carnitas and both were delicious. Definitely would suggest the carnitas first though. Chips and salsa are also really good. read more

Terrific chorizo, tastes like my grandma's. They also have birria beef, which is delicious, but doesn't come with consume and they are not quesataco style... still fantastic. Clean, friendly, cheap. read more

Pastor burrito was very good but the asada was fantastic. Love both the red and green salsa. The red is perfect amount of spice if you like a little heat. Prices are great and burrito was the perfect size for a meal if not slightly on the large side. This is definitely on my repeat list. read more
