We're so happy to have The Last Rodeo / Matt's BBQ Tacos so closeby. They've built a name for themselves in Portland for their amazing tacos and now to have them paired w a bar that has great service and delicious drinks, we couldn't be happier. LOVE the Migas, tequila verde chicken tacos, and especially their delicious flour tortillas. Everything is so flavorful and satisfying. And the drinks are fantastic too, loving their special right now - the UltraClear. Thank you all for your consistently good service and delicious food! read more

The Last Rodeo is a new neighborhood for us. Wow! Good food served in a casual, neighborhood setting with a great vibe. My favorite taco was the G.O.A.T. taco. The serving portion was large enough that a single taco is enough for lunch or dinner. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. read more

Nice vibes with seatings inside and out. Staffs were friendly but I found their drinks to be too sweet. Reasonably priced but barely had any alcohol in it. Tacos are good though! Really enjoyed the Migas and the Cheeseburger Tacos during happy hour. read more

Super cute atmosphere! Similar menu to the cart, and besides the queso being spicier here it was the same. The drink menu is extensive and well rounded. I love that they have mocktails that are similar to normal cocktails. Service was so kind, and the order at the bar set up definitely works best. read more

Already planning my next trip back! Service was great - line moved fast and servers were quick on a fairly busy sunny afternoon. The space is very cool with a true Tex Mex rodeo feel with a big patio and covered spaces for a rainy day. The food? Unreal. I got two pork belly tacos and had to refrain from buying more. The green sauce is delicious and the guac is fresh and the perfect amount of chunky. Recommend carpooling since street parking is hard to come by, but worth it for my new summer spot! read more

This is a great outdoor space with ample seating. All is shaded in the late afternoon so on hot days this is a great spot to check out. We ordered the Smoke and Bees, Negroni and Tiki Luau Lounge for cocktails. We had the chopped brisket taco, sliced pork belly taco, pulled pork taco and the G.O.A.T taco for food along with chips and salsa. The staff was very helpful and laid back - we didn't feel pressured to order immediately. First off, I'm a huge fan of Matt's bbq, Matt's bbq tacos and Eem so throwing in cocktails was a no brainer to check out. The cocktails were all good and tacos as I had hoped. read more

Finally got to try Matt's BBQ tacos and these might be the best in town! I had the tequila verde chicken taco with tequila chicken, onions and cilantro on a flour tortilla. The meat was so tender and I enjoyed the green sauce with it. The portions are good and I felt that one taco can easily fill you up. The space is cute and the staff are friendly. I will definitely be back to try more tacos! read more

Honestly, I was underwhelmed. I had been so eagerly awaiting going to this place as I had heard about homemade tortillas and bbq meat, some of my favorite things! I liked it. The pulled pork taco was solid and the chopped brisket was good, the tequila verde chicken was shredded and juicy and yummy, the homemade flour tortillas are great. The vegan mushroom taco was not great, for me personally the corn tortillas are wayyyyy too thick and it takes away from the flavor of the filling but also no ability to eat the taco like a taco- its more of a cut into bites situation because the corn tortillas can't fold well. I didn't eat most of my vegan taco and Im super glad I didnt sub corn tortillas for all my tacos like I originally wanted to. I also ordered a side of beans because I love beans and because I think the beans at a restaurant say a lot about a restaurant. It's the small details, and the foundations if you can get that right then it's only up from there. Unfortunately, just do yourself a favor and skip that mushy pile of flavorless pinto beans. Sad. You get to choose your salsas at the counter upon ordering and you get little tiny ramekins maybe enough for one taco, so I got up a couple times to ask for more. Service was counter service, great outdoor patio and tons of seating. Drink menu looked fun. Anyways, my total was $58 (before tip) for 6 tacos and black ice tea. Overall, I probably won't be back as some tacos were solid but not something I would ever crave or something I would specifically seek out. I'll keep to my favorite taco truck and spots on 82nd that have more flavor, abundance & as much salsa and pickled veggies as my heart desires. read more

We finally got to check this place out & it did not disappoint! Already a big fan of the cart over at Hinterland, we were looking forward to seeing what the new Sellwood spot was all about. The tacos were fantastic. I always forget how big they are! They're larger than typical street tacos, for me 2 tacos is more than enough. Seriously, the chopped brisket taco was shockingly good...like I'm still thinking about it 3 days later good. Crispy bits mixed with super tender flavor-packed, melt-in-your-mouth goodness...honestly if all they served here was this taco I would happily support that! All kidding aside, the other tacos are great, especially the mushroom tacos. Definitely stoked they finally upgraded the chip situation, the guac & queso were delicious. Loved the ambience & the bar setup, my Cadillac margarita was great. Staff were super friendly & although it's counter service, they did have someone coming around periodically checking to see if we wanted to order anything else. Overall very kind staff, we enjoyed chatting with them a bit & appreciated their attentiveness. Love everything about the last rodeo, great job to this team on a great spot! read more

Been here a few times now meeting up with friends and going out with the family. This spot is great for both! Casual not stuffy and you can get your favorite tacos here! Order at the counter but you still get amazing attentive service while you're seated. There is always someone near to help if you need another drink. They've got a great selection of fun drinks! Highly recommend starting with chips with queso, salsa, and guac. You can't order wrong on the tacos but if you need a recommendations: Chopped Brisket, the G.O.A.T., the Cheeseburger taco, Migas taco, sliced pork belly. They also have happy hour & a kids menu?! Yep. Go read more

This was a great spot on Milwaukee. We came in for a couple drinks and a snack. The espresso martini hit the spot, as did the margarita. The tacos were the highlight though. We tried the GOAT, chicken verde, beyond beef, and turkey. The meat was so good in each one, I was wishing I was more hungry. I love that they have options for every diet. I can see why they were so busy on a Sunday night. It was pretty full. read more

This is an order at the bar and sit-yourself place. We went on a Friday night and it was extremely packed. They had run out of a couple of items on the menu. BUT, the service was phenomenal! Our waitress was extremely accommodating, especially since there was a mistake with our order and we ended up waiting a long time for our food. The food was good, but my only complaint would be the portion size. The burrito was so small. Same with the tacos, which ended up making us order about 4 or 5 tacos to get full, so it gets spendy. Other than that, the ambiance was great, especially if you're going with kids. read more

Always big crowds at this new location. Unfortunately, the price of tacos is a very high entry point. ($6-$9) The brisket is tasty as are the tortillas but the sauces were not my favorite. Counter service, the Portland standard. read more

Nice spot with a dog-friendly patio. Had the brisket, pork belly and smoked turkey tacos. All were delish and the hand made tortillas and house sauces are really what make it stand out. Tacos are about $6-$7 each given the slow BBQ cook of the meats so if you have a beer with your meal expect to pay around $25 - $32 per person. read more

My husband and I already love Matt's BBQ Tacos from MANY visits to the Alberta location at Great Notion. We have also enjoyed several visits to Holy Ghost! So we were excited to check out the Last Rodeo during the soft opening. The space is very cool with lots of seating, especially the large patio! I can see it getting super busy but counter service should keep things moving. The staff were all super friendly. The food is so good! We always get the brisket tacos and queso supremo but we also tried a few new things this time. You can't go wrong. We'll definitely be back and will recommend The Last Rodeo to everyone! read more

My niece, her husband and their adopted daughter joined me recently for lunch at The Last Rodeo on SE Milwaukie Ave. We enjoyed great tacos, and the great service. My great niece is an active kid who moves around while at the table, but the staff were great in working around her so everyone enjoyed their lunch. Thank you so much! read more

This was a busy place at weeknight dinner time, but the service was efficient and friendly, I had a pork breakfast taco, and the cherry sauce was amazing. The size of the taco was generous enough to be happy with just one . ( after having some chips while waiting ) The house margarita was also great ! I don't know why someone complained about the low alcohol in the drink, but mine was plenty strong. The vibes were family friendly and there was a diverse crowd, People were smiling and chatting casually while in line and that made it fun. Going again soon ! read more

How's this for a recommendation? Our 18 year old picked The Last Rodeo as the top spot for his birthday celebration. We sat at one of the big tables on the patio and dined on assorted tacos and sides. Our favorites: chopped brisket taco, sliced pork belly taco, and The G.O.A.T taco along with waffle fries and guac with chips. Hats off as well to the trio of house sauces. Brought along our small dog since the outdoor space is pup-friendly. Delicious food. Excellent service even when the restaurant is crowded. Friendly atmosphere. read more

Absolutely the best Tacos I have had in a while. Stumbled onto this place totally by accident while on a bike ride. Well priced, friendly staff. We will be back. read more

Great atmosphere and even better food. Service is stellar. Definitely the best incarnation of this space.

Severely underwhelmed by just about everything. Service left us confused. Why is the bartender yelling at us? Why is the waiter gaslighting us that we got the wrong drink? Food...good but nothing to come back for. Don't be fooled by the beautiful aesthetic, go to Kay's for better food, better drinks and better people. read more

I can't get enough of this place, it's my new addiction/favorite spot in Sellwood. Great smoked meats from Matt's BBQ, accompanied by amazing cocktails. They're super dog-friendly, my dog and I love to sit in the covered heated patio area. I also want to shout out the espresso martini on tap and the beef fat waffle fries. Order at the bar and they'll service your table for more drinks once you've ordered. They play pretty good music, and the ambiance is good when the place isn't full of children. read more

So the layout is a little confusing, I mean they have to explain it. Frankly,just tell folks to head inside and wait in line and it'd be just fine. That of have full service table staff which would make more sense. Only oddity but I'm not uptight so it's not a biggie. Staff -super friendly. Bartender to table service, great folks. The food, fantastic. FANTASTIC. I tried 3 tacos and could not decide which was best (cheeseburger, breakfast chorizo, classic brisket). 3 was too many as we had an app (queso, excellent). I had their specialty drink which as really unique, I enjoyed. Had a great experience. read more

The food is good, but the persistent country music is awful! I hate country and it's ALL they play! If you want to lean into the country at least play some Patsy Kline and Johnny Cash. But also why!??? Three other part is the margaritas are meh (at best!) and over priced! The draft margarita is gross, don't recommend. This is all too bad considering the tacos are delish. read more

I ordered to go to the wrong location and the staff were more than helpful in helping me fix my mistake! They were extremely kind and understanding, 10/10 customer service. Tacos are 10/10 as well, will definitely be returning! read more

The food and beverages here are delicious enough to justify the high prices. Our table tried just about everything on the menu and several cocktails.The space is large, airy, and comfortable inside and out. However, with the exception of the two women behind the bar, this was a really cranky bunch of servers (maybe because they had to work on Labor Day?). If you don't want to be obstructed by the very long line waiting to order maybe don't have food come out of the kitchen right into the line. Better yet, avoid the line and offer table service. Not a welcoming vibe, employees looked real unhappy to be so busy. read more

The food and the wait staff and the ambiance! There have been multiple restaurants in the building and I feel this one will survive!!! read more

i met some friends here to check out a new hot spot in the neighborhood. We took the menu outside to review and came back in to order at the bar when decided. we walked past people who were clearly undecided and not even near the bar, and the bartender basically accused us of trying to cut in front of them! she even went so far as to check with them first before taking our order. They informed her that they were not ready to order, so she took ours. The menu was very limited - mostly tacos, extremely meat oriented. No fish, no chicken, 2 vegetarian options and 1 smoked turkey. Between the 3 of us we ordered 2 Smoked Turkey guacamole, pickled onion, cheddar cheese with some kind of mustard based sauce tacos, and a queso and chips. The smoked turkey tacos were suboptimal . the turkey pieces were really small and very few and far between. It wasn't even possible to taste the turkey as the mustard overpowered the entire taco. The amount of cheddar cheese was also on the minimal side. honestly it should have been called a mustard taco. The queso, quac, pico de gallo, brisket , chips option was really disappointing as well. The amount of brisket was really skimpy. Our drinks were ok, but really small, and light on the alcohol. Overall, sadly I don't think we'll make the effort to try it again. read more

The food is fine. The ordering and seating is awkward. Lots of noise in the dining room.

The atmosphere was ok, but the food and staff sucked. I have been wanting to try this place for a while, so I went there for lunch today for the first time and I was really disappointed. I ordered 2 "supreme beef tacos" that cost me $13 with tip which the server didn't deserve, but I prepaid the tip before I got the service because you have to order at the bar first they give you a number and a server brings the food to your table. The tacos tasted horrible with way too much cinnamon or nutmeg flavor and wasn't supreme at all. Taco Bell has a better taco supreme and costs much less. To top it off the server was not friendly and extremely rude with an angry scowl on her face the entire time I asked her about water. She was just as rude and unfriendly to the customers sitting next to me. I will never go back or recommend this place. read more

Excellent food and good service. It is a large space with lots of seating. Love the drink selection, but I go for the pork belly tacos!

Food is amazing. Drinks are fantastic. The outdoor patio is awesome on a nice day, and they have heaters for cool days. My new favorite place read more

great tacos and cocktails!!! i'm so happy this place exists. we went one of the first weekends It was open and met up with friends. The service was friendly and people were helpful. I think it might take some time for others to get used to the set up. Love the outside ambience. read more

Okay so no where does it say that people under the age cant go and once we told them they got defensive and told us we had to leave but if they had a sign in the first place we could've just went somewhere else and we were there just to eat read more

The staff here is incredibly kind and attentive. Huge patio, banging cocktails, and everyone loves Matt's tacos.

Had the best time here! I highly recommend giving it a try and it will quickly become a favorite. The atmosphere on the patio was a great start but had the funnest drinks served by an even more fun bartender. Had to try tacos and can't wait to go back again for more. read more
