“ Since discovering this hidden gem, I've been back 3 times in the same week and everything I've tried is delicious. The asada meat is alright but the al pastor is amazing it's actually al pastor meat. The shrimp/meat tacos and huarache are great but my all time favorite is the special quesadilla! It's huge!!! The only negative thing I can say about this place is that it's really greasy but eating out isn't necessarily healthy so ”
“ The food was excellent, with hand made tortillas and nicely seasoned meats. The hostess that helped us was attentive and made some menu suggestions. She also cleaned off a table in the covered outdoor eating area so my 2 year old granddaughter could be as loud as she wanted We’ll definitely be back. ”
“ Super fast service lightly seasoned excellent ”
“ Consistently great experience on Grubhub. Solid burrito. Good tortillas. Tried the birria this time and it was the best I’ve had in PDX. I live in Baja California and have tried many places in Portland. This is a great option ”
“ I was very skeptical of my friend suggesting this place 25mina drive away. But I’m glad I listened. He knows his tacos. And these were some of the best Al Pastor tacos in Portland. But don’t sleep on the “cabeza” which literally means “head” taking all parts of the meat from the cow head. Usually just means cheek meat, which is some of the best meat on any animal. Also their horchata by the fountain was not too sweet and tastes great. Good salsas too. My friend recommended the tacos and yet he ordered the quesadilla which looked like a giant omelette. They do not skimp on the meat or filling here! Also kinda pricey for tacos, but inflation I guess ”
“ Best tacos with homemade tortillas I’ve had in many years of living in Gresham and service is great! This is the spot for Mexican food! ”
“ I'm here in Portland on business. I've been starving for local fare since I arrived! I got burned by a local suggestion last night, and found La Tia Juana due to a top suggestion on Uber Eats tonight. I have 2 regrets: 1: I barely found out about this place today. 2: I didn't order more than one Quesabirria. I had the Nachos Al Pastor and was very impressed with the presentation even as a delivery. All the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Very generous servings of meat! Came with 4 different salsa cups. Each one is delicious in it's own way, but loved the dark green and the deep red salsas the most. The Quesabirra was nice and crunchy on the outside, warm and delicious on the inside. Seriously should have gotten at least 2 of those! The size is maybe a little smaller than my fist, again, lots of flavor! ”
“ Fire food for price me and my kids go all the time. My go to place for affordable burrito ”
