Solid authentic taco spot. I stop here whenever I am in the area. The price is right, especially Monday to Thursday when they have their $1.50 taco deal on pastor, pollo, or carne tacos. They come with onions and cilantro (if you want), delicious taco sauce (red & green), and escabeche (pickled veggies). Service is quick and friendly and tables always look clean and inviting. It's a family spot, and I love seeing families eating together here. Quit overpaying for tacos elsewhere and come get the good stuff here! read more

I've been here twice, once before the pandemic and the second time a couple days ago. I recall really liking it the first time, so I wanted to take my friend. It seems like they've remodeled the place and it looks very nice! We came on Taco Tuesday around 6pm to one party ahead of us in line. No one was dining in. We ordered chips, guac and of course, tacos (carne asada, carnitas, pastor, birria and chorizo). I don't recall which but only certain tacos were $1/ea. Comparing the two visits, they definitely cut the portion size of guac by more than half and the condiment bar is no longer in use. We asked for sauce and they gave us two bottles (green and red). The chips are good, they came out warm so you know it's fresh and there is some type of seasoning sprinkled on them. We liked all of the tacos except for the chorizo. The chorizo was chalky and did not taste good at all, we had to drown it in sauce for it to even be edible. The guacamole was good but not sure if worth the small portion size. I would definitely not get the chorizo again. Without the condiment bar, the tacos taste like they're missing something. I would come back, and ask if condiments are available next time! read more

Nope. Of all my reviews, I've rated Mexican and breakfast places the most. This is Mexican-owned and prices are not foo-foo Inner Portland, but that's where the positives end. Both the Huevos Rancheros and bacon breakfast burrito were subpar from the many, many I've tried. Tortillas seemed right out of the Cash and Carry bulk pack. The rice was awful. Sauces are limited to boring underwhelming Green and Red. Nice lady working the counter. read more

I understand if you're in a bad mood working but don't take it out on your customers, I came in with my family of 4. We were happy and ready to dine in until we had to order. The Mexican lady upfront that took our order had the rudest attitude, didn't greet, asked what to drink, and her eye roll.... well we sat and waited for our food, after a while they came out and instead of doing what ALL the rest of the restaurants do which is call out the food to hand it to the correct person, she instead says " who's tacos " no specifying what kind of meat when multiple of us got tacos, when I replied with " what kind we all got some tacos" her rude reply was" well the cheesy ones obviously". I was stunned. Well after she didn't offer hot sauces or condiments, which they didn't have set up anywhere, their usual spot of condiments had been empty. Overall I don't recommend eating or dinning at this place, you can come in happy and in a good mood but don't expect to walk out the same. It's not to say the food wasn't great but the service, it's mediocre, an establishment like this puts a bad rap on Mexican cuisine, especially Taqueria El cazador p.s they do this to all there incoming customer, I paid attention to it while we dinned there with my family. read more

I like this place! you have to order the counter first and then they'll call you by your order... can be confusing because somebody asked me if I order something similar but they have a really nice salsa bar to self serve from, a wide selection of frozen dessert bars in a easy access case and very friendly staff, eager-to-please! there's no table service and they expect you to bust your table but all the tables that I wanted to choose to sit at, were all clean and it was nice to have 2 sunny front booths open, clean and available for me @1:30pm, after the lunch rush! So if you're looking for a really clean and classy, traditional Mexican Restaurant with great artwork, nice bathrooms and good food off Foster near 102nd- this is the place to come to! read more

SE Foster and 101st location now open inside for dining. Yea! Prices are up a bit, but not ridiculous increases like some other places. Location on 82nd is open, but that is a Food Cart. Good "eats" with super nice folks who know their job and make sure all is communicated. No, "this is my 1st day with no training" employees taking your order. Notice those types always remember to ask for a tip, though. Pre-tipping!! Your money's on the dresser, honey. Dishes can be made mild or spicy. Mild still has a little kick. Shrimp is always cooked perfectly. Asada is just average. The guacamole salsa is pretty darn good and house made (not that store bought jar crap). The tortillas taste store bought, though. Not a deal breaker. Just wishful thinking. It is so nice to have a full lunch or dinner with a salad and sit inside and have a relaxing hot meal, again. Far more than just a taco and burrito take out joint. Pictures of the dishes on the menu are accurate and any question about them can be answered. read more

I want to start this off with saying, I transplanted from Washington almost a year ago. I've worked for companies that send me all over the greater Portland area since then, and haven't found many good places to get a taco........Until now. I wish I lived closer because the food tasted amazing, the guacamole in a squeeze bottle is a great idea, and their hot sauces have a good amount of spice, and flavor. I will for sure stopping by again when I'm in the area. Also the parking was easy, even with the lot full, there's a side street. Prices were fair, and seemed to run along the sales lines as all the other places that weren't as good. Very impressed, fat and happy! read more

This restaurant is very reasonable, and you get quite a lot for the money.

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. Will have to look into whether they sell their mango hot sauce separately as well. I'd buy a bottle!

Every time I am in Portland I make it a point to stop at Guero because it has become one of my…read morefavorite go-to spots in the city. Their tortas are exceptional and I have tried them all. Not one of them has disappointed but if I had to choose a favorite it would be the Ahogada which is perfectly balanced juicy rich and deeply flavorful every single time. 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.

It's Portland dining month so try their 3-course meal for $35. The blue corn mushroom quesadillas are packed with flavor in every bite, the carnitas with topping sauce are juicy and tender and their flan is extraordinary- I dare you to not get a second one!

I stopped by this restaurant (which is located at the back of the grocery store) after a long day…read moreat work. I wasn't expecting the food to be so good! There are not many vegetarian options, but I was able to get some vegetarian tacos with a side of beans and rice. The server brought the food out quickly, and it was delicious. It came with a few types of hot sauce, all of which were really good. Definitely hit the spot! I have also tried their vegetarian burrito, which I think was a little overpriced, but it was still a tasty and filling meal. This restaurant is probably better for people who eat meat than vegetarians, as they have many meat items.
