    Tripa Tacos, chips & salsa with a Modela.
    Joel D.

    I drive by all the time, so I finally stopped in today for lunch. The staff was super friendly and helpful with suggestions. I ordered two tripa tacos, chips and salsa with a Modela beer (didn't have to go back to work ) This was my first time eating tripa - it was crisp and full of meaty flavor. The tacos were a good size and the onion/cilantro relish was fresh. The chips were homemade and crisp. The salsa was very good. The area is clean, it's screened off from the traffic and covered - so very comfortable. I will be back.

    If you're ever on a TV Highway or in the mood for some bomb tacos, do yourself a favor and check out this place. We came on a sunny day and it was so lively. it's safe to say these are the best and most authentic tacos I've had in Portland. We ordered the birria, queso tacos and a chicken taco. The birria and queso tacos were the best. They had so much flavor. The queso tacos also come with sour cream and guac. We got a side of chips and guac and the chips were still hot when they brought them out. We ordered 6 tacos and a side of chips and guac for only $29.

    The food options here are really cool and glad we finally tried this place since we live so close. The service was really good and nice even that late at night when we came 30 minutes before closing. We tried the tacos with refried beans, some regular tacos, and also some queso tacos. We also got the nacho fries. I had the queso taco and it was really good. The tortilla was nice and crispy but also pliable. It held all the ingredients really well, so there wasn't a dripping mess and it was loaded with toppings. There was a lot of pico and also a huge Guap of guacamole on each taco. The nacho fries were really good. I wish there was a more queso cheese on it, but the toppings were plentiful just like the taco with a huge serving of guacamole. All in all really good and excited to come back and try some more of the food items .

    Food was not good. No flavor whatsoever and so bland. If it wasn't for the cheese on the nachos, it would not tasted like anything. I do not recommend. High price and not worth it. First and last time I eat anything from here.

    We came here for the first time about one year ago and It was my first time having Birria tacos with consommé. Ever since I had fallen in love with all things Birria, and luckily it has became quite popular and accessible. The other day we drove by and saw they upgraded their taco truck situation, so we dropped by to check it out for lunch. It moved to the other side of the original gravel parking lot location, with a newly built concrete foundation and wooden covering for the eating area. It looked really cozy and is definitely an upgrade from the previous dining situation. We were there for a Friday late lunch, and ordered some queso Birria tacos, vampiro tacos, suadero tacos, and consommé. The wait was a bit long, about 30 minute-ish. It was quite cold sitting at the picnic table while the freezing wind was making us shiver, but luckily the warm afternoon sun helped to keep us warm enough. Finally our food came and everything looked fresh and tasted delicious. I like the freshness and crunchiness of the vampiro tacos, with the deep fried taco shells on the bottom and a pile of guacamole on top. Queso Birria tacos had some amount of cheese on the bottom of the crunchy shells. It was less messy than other Birria tacos and had a very clean taste. The consommé was the bomb, especially for my boyfriend. He loved it before and he loves it now. It's dark, rich, savory and a bit spicy. He and I both agree it's the one for the consommé lovers because, trust me, if you are into consommé you can taste the difference. We also ordered some suadero tacos. The staff recommended us to get different tortillas and we loved the result. It's fun to taste the difference between roasted corn vs flour tortillas. Overall, we really like this taco truck and think it is one of the best Birria places on the west side of town.

    This place was great. We ordered only one thing since we are going out to dinner later, but this was as good as we heard about. We ordered the queso birria. I wish we had a photo to post, but we ate it too quickly. It looks just like the menu photo.

    doraditos they forgot consume, sooo dry and flavorless
    Lori A.

    I really wanted to like it but they failed on all levels food..nope service... nope drinks...nope The birria was flavorless! The consume tasted like watery commercial beef base, nothing Mexican about it! and not worth the $3.75 I was charged. Dried up limes with tacos. They forgot to give the consume that came with doraditos! Hot sauce was spicy and flavorless. The horchatas were sandy and watered down. The agua de piña tasted like surgery water not pineapple. And NO prices listed anywhere, so they can charge you whatever they want! I asked for price list and she said no. So I asked for a receipt she could not print it and hand wrote prices. Everything overpriced for the lack of quality.

    Been here multiple times and the food is amazing. Only had 1 experience where the Birria Queso tacos were soggy otherwise I'd give it 5 stars. Definitely will keep coming back.

    Carne asada burritos with chips and guac
    Song S.

    So delicious! Definitely stop by here if you're craving Mexican food. We had the burritos and they were super delicious. We'll be back to try their other stuff on the menu!

    This is where the magic happens.

    Are the tacos made from corn or flour tortillas?

    They have both. The queso tacos campenchana are to die for!

    I recently passed and saw that you moved. Where are you guys now located?

    A couple hundred feet to the East.

This is the second location of several that continues to grow. You can see why with the super fresh ingredients, delicious flavors, and friendly service. Love it when you dine at a new place with a foodie friend you trust who knows what to order. This is one of her parents' go to places when they drive in from Olympia, WA. *Taquitos were crispy potato filled rolls. We chose the mushroom topping which was good!!! *Tamarindo ribs- came glazed with a unique tamarind flavor and a little kick that I have not had anywhere else. *Mini Sopes- we chose 3 different proteins ( which were all good braised beef, citrus pork, and chorizo). The Fish taco which came highly recommended was my least favorite because it had too much mayo in the slaw for me. I had to scrape most of it off. Everything comes garnished with beautiful purple pickled onions that are crunchy and compliment all the dishes. Friend had the non alcoholic Mexican Lime beer and I had the Jamaica (hibiscus) aqua Fresca which had lovely hints of spice. This was certainly much better than the Mexican food I get at home! The salsa music in the background made me wanna get up and dance.

We got the beef taquitos, shrimp ceviche, and sopes. Everything was beautifully plated, but was also lacking in flavor. :( ceviche was really fresh, but a bit bland. The taquitos were filled with mashed potatoes but it didn't taste like they were seasoned. They had such good potential but the under seasoned food left much more to be desired. Maybe I just came in on an off day as they have great reviews, but maybe I'll give them another try.
