Pollo Verde tamale (top green chicken) Puerco Rojo tamale (bottom red pork)
Aimee K.

Wow! Delicious street tacos AND tamales? What more could I ever ask for? Stopped in again for a small bite and got the asada and chorizo street tacos (minus the onions) and topped them both w a little green and red sauce. Knocked it out of the park once again! Thank you!!!

Ham Breakfast Burrito!!
Gavin J.

Great spot! Came in the early morning to order (10) breakfast burritos for some customers of mine. There was 1 person working and he crushed it! The quality was amazing service was great! My favorite part was they used more of a country style potato which my opinion makes a breakfast burrito that much better. Another thing the size of the burrito was huge!!! Highly recommend the breakfast burritos. I haven't had anything else yet but I will be back when I'm in the area!! The ambience was okay, they had a tent with tables and other food carts.

Queso Birria Taco.

Great Birria taco, I originally stopped for a tamale which was also tasted good. I like a little more goat in my consume.

Quesabirria tacos with consommé

My daughter is always telling me about this place and how amazing the tacos are so we decided to go there for lunch today there's plenty of parking and other places to eat here it's in a small cart pod clean and seating under a big canopy we ordered the tacos quesa birria with consommé for dipping and agua Fresca the food came and v the tacos were stuffed with meat probably the most I've seen from any place yet .. a semi crispy tortilla which was dipped in the sauce and lightly fried I dipped it into the consommé and took a bite and it was delicious terrific and amazing I really enjoyed it and my daughter was so absolutely right and we're definitely returning we also got nachos and spring rolls from another cart but that's another review I know you will enjoy this place and thank you for your time happy dining

1 Piece Quesa-Birria

10/10 food and service always friendly and good prices. Hope this place gets the recognition it deserves

This used to be my favorite place to get tamales, but the last few times have been extremely disappointing. Way too much masa. The employees are all friendly though!

Birria Tacos

Food: Absolutely incredible. Everything I've tried (I try something different every time) has been phenomenal and some of the best Mexican food I've tasted since moving away from Central America. Especially delicious: Al pastor torta, birria tacos, and the tripe street tacos. Service: Friendly, prompt, and very nice people! They enjoy when you order in Spanish too, even if it's broken! Ask for the extra hot hot sauce! Ambience: Outdoors at a food cart, but with heaters around that they will gladly turn on if requested. Definitely 10/10 experience, and a must try for taco or tamale Tuesday!

Delicias Michoacanas - Super burrito (steak)

Delicias Michoacanas

I've been searching for a go to taco cart spot on the west side since I moved here over 6 years ago…read moreand I have FINALLY found THE cart. Staff is friendly. But the food? Chefs kiss. The have tables and the parking can get crowded since it is in a gas station parking lot. I am a flautas and carne asada tacos kind of person, but what makes or breaks a taco spot for me is SAUCE. Your food can be cooked well but if that habanero sauce doesn't hit, it's a no for me. The line of sauces here hit the mark for me. Both their avocado crema and habanero sauces are so good. The flautas were crispy, and the tacos are generous. And t Will be back!

I've been here twice now and the food is great! Some of the best Mexican food i've had in Oregon…read more(so far) since moving from California. I've tried their asada tacos. The asada had flavor and they put a decent amount of meat. I've also had the chicken flautas (taquitos) and those are fire! Lastly i've had the queso birria tacos and those hit the spot as well. My wife enjoyed the sopes! I wish the salsa was a bit more spicy but that's just my preference. Regardless, all the salsas taste amazing and have nice flavor to them. The service has been average, nothing out of the normal but not bad. If I were to sit there and enjoy my food, the ambiance is nice. I appreciate the seating and lights. Overall the food has been a hit every time i've went. This is definitely my new go to spot when I'm craving tacos and don't want to make them myself.

Located in the Beaverton section of new eateries that sprung up after Covid, Tito's Taquitos is a…read morepopular Mexican restaurant that started as a food truck by Chef Anthony who relocated from LA. 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.

Tito's has been on my list forever and I finally made my way over. I love taquitos and they feature…read morejust that! Menu has lots of variety and has options for vegans and vegetarians! 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.

My boyfriend is a huge fan of Mexican food. And he's a hard core carnivore. He wanted a burrito and…read morehe knows that Sizzle Pie is my go to for a slice since I can get it vegan. Anyway. I wanted pizza. He wanted a burrito. He had mentioned wanting to try this food truck so I looked it up on Yelp (obviously!) And got the address. We pulled up and there was one person ahead of him so I figured it would take a while. He got a Carne Asada Burrito. He got two different salsas a red and a green and he got a side of pickled veggies. Which were jalapenos, carrots and onions. He got his order super fast and I said that's a small burrito lol but it was just the side of pickled veggies. But when we got home he said WHOA this burrito is huge!!! He couldn't eat it all in one sitting. He ate the green sauce and said it was one of the best hot sauces he'd ever had. I licked the lid and he wasn't wrong. The flavor was so rich and there was heat but it wasn't overwhelming the flavor. Very very good. He didn't try the red sauce so I didn't get to try it. The pickled vegetables though. OM*G they are THE BEST I've ever tasted. Such good acidity and flavorful as *^%# YES this stuff was amazing. He said next time he's going to pack the box full of them lol. Frankly I'd go there JUST for those veggies and hot sauce. He said 5 stars GREAT value and great flavor. So we will absolutely be back!!! Oh and next time (sorry y'all) I'll get pictures!!!
