We hadn't been to Kim Jong since they moved to Cartblocks so we decided to check them out. Now, I love KJG, but they were out of almost everything by the time we got there. My husband got something there, but I meandered on over to this cart. I love tortas so much, but I recently have been liking birria too. It can be hard to choose between the two. I had not heard of this cart before, so I decided to check out the menu... sweet swirling asparagus tips!! They have a birria torta! It's like a flipping French dip but with a delicious torta instead. I immediately ordered it. It came with hot sauce and consommé. I couldn't wait to get home to try it. It was amazing!!! So delicious. Absolutely a new fave. I can't wait to go back. So many good carts in this pod!! read more

Clean, fast, tasty. And they have proper veggie tacos, which tasted great. Chorizo was delicious too. Chicken could be more grilled though. This is inside The Cart Blocks square. There's some shared covered seating in the square. And ample street parking in the 1-2 blocks surrounding it. read more

BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN PORTLAND Try the birria and horchata! Amazing so delicious and rich flavors! I took one pic of the place and made it look so beautiful! I took a pic of the yummy Birrias and the sauce too! Delicious! But I also got a giant burrito with chicken and shrimp! The quality of the burrito was way beyond a traditional restaurant! I could taste every seasoning it was yummy! The people who work here are so welcoming and queer friendly! I just moved here from California and had Mexican food a lot and this Mexican food is the BEST and worth the extra drive since I moved to Vancouver Washington! They will be seeing a lot me! I will try everything on the menu! They are worth it! Beef Birria read more

The food was delicious. Decided to stop here for breakfast after waking around downtown. We got the breakfast carna asada burrito and carna asada/chorizo bowl. Both were filling and great. For drinks, we got the strawberry horchata (highly recommend) and a lemonade agua fresca. Definitely worth a stop if you are around downtown. This was a 5-7 min walk from Powell's City of books. read more

Just had the worst experience at this place. Staff was incredibly rude to me! I ordered an all-meat al pastor burrito. They charged me an extra $3 to exclude beans and rice! Then after waiting over 10 minutes I was given the wrong order. I assumed it was just a mistake and went back to ask if they can give me the correct order. They guy helping me (who refused to give me his name) became instantly hostile and refused to correct the mistake. He even had the nerve to tell me to go to Chipotle if I didn't like it! He then, very rudely, offered to return my money but only on the condition that I throw away the food in the trash where he can see me do it. UNBELIEVABLE!! Worst experience I've ever had at a food truck in Portland, OR... and that's saying a lot. STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE. read more

I've been here at least three different times and this ordered three different items, and the only item I've liked were the quesadillas. The rest of the food I ordered (a chicken burrito and chicken torta) was flavorless, which is a shame because it looked really really good. I never thought I'd complain about the lack of seasonings at an authentic Mexican restaurant, but unfortunately I've discovered that such a thing exists. Ordered: Chicken Torta Deluxe-- This is a classic Mexican spin on the sandwich, with eggs, beans, peppers, tomatoes, cheese, and chicken added all on toasted bread. Though the toasted bread was pretty delicious and flavorful, the rest of the sandwich really lacked any sort of taste. It really needed seasoning and the salsa didn't help at all. Service: Great, they've been very pleasant people to deal with during every visit. Wait Time: 5 minutes. Bill: $ read more

I was so excited to finally visit the ethnic food trucks in downtown Portland. The biggest problem is, everything looks so delicious and it's hard to decide which cuisine to choose from. I was in the mood for Mexican food and I found Villa. There was a line so I knew it was good. Although lunchtime was sort of calming down so the line went quickly. I was greeted by a lovely and kind young woman who took my order. I ordered a burrito and added extra avocado to it. It was very big in portion and it only cost me about $11. Walking around is so fun because you get the Portland culture and vibe! The burrito was so yummy and I had to eat it and breaks, it was so large. Be on empty stomach if you order this because it is very filling. I highly recommend this food truck, I wish I had been able to stop by more! Let's EAT! read more

Still trying to find Mexican food that will please my Californian born-and-bred taste buds. This place has decent burritos for $7 (and "big" burritos with twice the meat for $8). I liked that they were filled with allll the essentials: beans, rice, sour cream, guac, lettuce, and pico de gallo and all the ingredients were pretty evenly distributed. Every bite was delicious. As an added twist the burritos were lightly grilled before being neatly wrapped up and bagged. They offer two salsas/hot sauces in hot and mild (green and red -- though honestly it was hard to tell which was which). The red sauce was smokey-spicy and the green was very citrus-y. Both pretty good and medium-hot. I'm a Valentina hot sauce kind of girl myself, which these certainly were not. Good enough for a return trip -- I'm excited to try their breakfast burritos. Unsure of the hours, but can confirm they are open for dinner during the week at least till 7pm and also on the weekends (including Sundays) read more

Food truck Realness! Walked around food truck village on a Friday night, was disappointed that hardly anything was open. Mostly middle eastern cuisine. Stumbled across this little taco spot and with a line outside I knew it was going to be a hit. Ordered the 3 taco combo that came with beans and rice. It took about 10 min to get the food, which didn't surprise me with the line. And it was worth it. The chicken was cooked to perfection. The tacos were perfect size for a mid evening snack/dinner - quick stop to get food in the stomach before continuing to drink for the night - the rice was a nice balance, it was just a simple white rice with a side of beans that had great flavor. Best part, they accept GrubHub delivery orders. So if you aren't in the mood to walk down, or if the weather sucks, order for delivery and give this place a shot! read more

I love this place! Everything I've had has been good, - al pastor being the best, but the chorizo and carnitas are wonderful too - but the real reason I'm writing this review is the green salsa.

Ordered the veggie tacos (4 for $7). They came with some grilled veggies (mushroom, squash, zucchini), a slice of avocado each, and a teeny bit of pico. I like that the tacos are street-sized, but they needed more ingredients. Some beans or cheese, something else to make it hearty-er. The green salsa was super lime-y and vinegary. Wish they hadn't forgotten the red salsa. Service was friendly and prices were decent, I would try one of their veggie burritos next time. read more

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! And don't forget to pair all this deliciousness with a Mezcal flight!

This is some of the best Mexican food I've found in Portland. I dream about the orange salsa.read more

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.
