Soyrizo taco
Keely N.

First time trying tight tacos. I ordered a singular soyrizo taco. The tortilla was good. The seasoning was tasty. Salsa verde was tasty.

Street Tacos - Carne Asada
Marie K.

DoorDashed an order of street tacos and Mexican street corn. Both tasted great, the tacos were huge. They didn't hold back on the carne asada.I will definitely go in to eat in person.

Quesatacos and esquites
Bexx K.

First time having quesatacos! Everything was so delicious and fresh! I loved the esquites too. I got chicken in my tacos and i loved how crunchy and delicious they were. Can't wait to come back!

Best. Tacos. Ever. Quesatacos are a revelation and I'm thinking of relocating to Portland to be near these. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the location was cheerful, clean and whimsical. I will be back!

typical taco place $5 quesataco with braised beef, good flavoring and not as crunchy as expected $7 cup of horchata, largest size, good drink!

Quesataco, consome, pollo taco
Grace S.

The Quesataco was amazing! I got one with braised beef and the consome side and it was so good. I also got a regular pollo taco and it was mediocre, seemed like the tortilla was not cooked very well and a little too thick. The chicken was pretty dry too. Overall I would go back for the quesataco as it was amazing!

It's a great spot for a snack. They have a variety of items to choose from. We had some tacos, quesataco, and nachos. The tacos had a healthy portion of protein, and the nachos were amazing! They make their chips fresh, and all the ingredients on the nachos are great, especially the cheese sauce.

Taco with Pollo & Quesataco with Asada!
Naomi R.

Tight Tacos was just across the street from our Air bnb. It's was in walking distance and the perfect location for lunch or dinner! The food was fresh and was so delicious! I had a taco with pollo and the highly recommended quesataco with asada. The cheese fried and melted inside was just dreamy!! The guacamole (not shown) was so good, it was refreshing and had just the right amount of onions and lime juice! The staff were so helpful and their recommendations were a hit! The restaurant is so clean and the atmosphere is fun and inviting.

Tried this place out for the first time. I ordered there nachos with double the toppings and a quesabirria taco. Both were delicious but the nachos were my thing. I ordered two drinks a margarita and an horchata. But they forgot to bring me my horchata and I got so consumed in conversation with my friends I forgot to asked them about it. You can either sit at the table and scan a QR code to order your food or you can order it at the front.

Yummmyyyy tacos!!! I got the soyrizo and just yes! The flavor was there and the portion was pretty great. It's a cute concept place too hahah, and the tacos come with a few tortilla chips - a nice touch I must say. I especially loved the condiment bar and the servers were helpful and lovely. The ambiance was casual! I would definitely return to get more tacos!

Hellarito
Corinne R.

Finally got to try this spot after a long run day so I was starved. Did some division street exploring with Eric. Got the Hellarito since I read rave reviews (with al pastor) but I was sadly disappointed. The burrito hurt my tummy bad. And it just tasted salty. It's unfortunate to compare every burrito to my favorite trailbreak burrito, but this one fell short

Only tries a soyrizo taco. Good flavor. The two hot sauces were green and red, green was generic, red was good.

It is the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable settling into. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind, and the service was genuinely great throughout. We ordered the Quekas with vegan chorizo and black beans and they were SO good, honestly a standout. The chips and guac were also a hit, and I loved that the guac was actually cold. Such a small detail that makes a big difference. The Citrus Salad was super fresh, crisp, and delicious, which balanced everything out perfectly. I also tried the NA classic margarita and it was so refreshing. I loved the subtle touch of orange juice. Overall, such a lovely spot with amazing food, great vibes, and thoughtful details. I will definitely be back!

Today my wife and I enjoyed scrumptious Tacotes, one chicken and one Bok Choy with house made salsa. Also, the Tetela de Requeson, maiz, beans and sprouting broccoli with a house made requeson - kind of like ricotta cheese - very beautifully plated and so delicious. Extra side of yummy and creamy black bean frijoles with sour cream, butter, tortillas. Instead of desert, the Mezcal, chile and lime was refreshing. Right now open for lunch Thursday through Sunday 10-3pm. No fixed menu, changes with what's fresh - the way chef Angel loves to cook respecting what is in season. Service and ambiance is friendly and knowledgeable about the food and its origin - another reason I love dining here so I learn about what I'm eating and how it was inspired. Yes, the food plated looks so good, I am inspired to dig in. There's a reason it was recognized early in its start by Eater, Portland Monthly and the Oregonian as one of the best restaurants in the city because foodies seek out and love to go where the food experience is special - especially the chef tasting menus in the past. Now I'm watchful and ready to go back and see what the chef Angel is serving up. What else is so special is Republica was a James Beard award nominee too!

I was excited to go here as I had been meaning to visit for at least 6 months. I wasn't disappointed. This taqueria is the real deal, and very authentic. I also appreciate it's LGBTQ owned, and like to be inclusive in how I spend money. The tacos are amazing I had two there, and took two home. They were all delicious and not one disappointed. Their taco menu is very extensive, and it's nice that they have a lot of vegetarian options as well. One of my favorites was the one with mole ,and poblanos, also the chicken one, also the carnitas. Flavors so rich and satisfying. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. Extremely quick service which I love. Even though I only speak a little bit of Spanish. I tried, and they were very welcoming. They are fluent in Spanish. I knew it was an authentic taqueria when I heard a native spanish speaker speak Spanish at the counter. I don't want to leave out their drinks as they have quite a selection both alcoholic, and non alcoholic. I tried the horchata, which was amazing. I have been craving Pozole for a long time, and they had it as a special chicken with green sauce, and pork and a red sauce. Both simply amazing and a great deal. This restaurant is very reasonable, and you get quite a lot for the money. Last but not least I can't forget the ambiance which felt very authentic, and reminded me of being in a Taqueria in Mexico or Southern California. the place is decorated very thoughtful with a lot of candles, and many shrines. They also have a love of Mariah Carey and saw many photos of here in the restaurant. They have both outdoor seating and indoor seating. A lot of plants outside which all seem very happy and well cared for. I love this place, and will be going back for sure. The place is very casual which I appreciate. Keep up the great work your doing Taqueria Los Punales. Viva Taqueria Los Punales. Viva la Raza. Viva Mexico!

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!

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.
