TACOQUETO: Reviews & Ratings

The food is a strong 11/10 some of the best food in the city and by far the best food cart. But the food is second to the customer service because in all my years I have never been somewhere that was so nice to me thanks for making my day I’ll be back every chance i get. Also the menu is ever changing its on a white board because he ads new things so often!

There’s a reason there are so many 5 star reviews for this place! First, it’s really affordable. We got 2 grilled beef tacos for $3.50. The tacos were a good size with a lot of meat. Then the ramen birria maruchan. The birria broth was so good. There isn’t a ton of seating outside. That’s to be expected since it’s a cluster of food stalls.

i cannot believe the gem this place is. everything about it is perfect. the owner is a delight and you can tell he cares about making good food for people. one of the friendliest people i’ve met and is so happy to make anything for you. he doesn’t make tortilla chips, but i asked him for a bag and he threw one together with me with some fantastic salsa with genuine pleasure to do so. some of the best i’ve had in the city. will be coming here often since i live close by, this place is a genuine winner and must visit! not to mention late hours?? one of the only places open late with good food, i’m sold.

The BEST food cart experience I have ever had. Probably best service I've ever had, period. We met Lorenzo and he said "everything is good!" He gave me some samples and talked to me about his vision and passion for making great food, so fresh and tasty! He was so kind and welcoming and everything that I had was delectable. I got carne asada tacos and they were packed with meat and fresh Pico. I had asked for like 4 tacos and he was like "these are big tacos, not like other places, you can eat 4?!" I settled for two and hardly finished because i was so full. It was perfect. Everything was fresh and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best I've ever had. I will be dreaming of the fresh chunky guacamole and fresh tortilla chips until my next visit. I will be telling all my friends! This guy cooks with his heart.

Best veggie burrito I ever had! They use very original veggie options. Once I got cauliflower in it, once it was eggplant… it feels so hearty for a veggie burrito. Be sure to ask if you are a picky eater. They also have very original menu items I haven’t got to try them all yet.

Amazing customer service and delicious food! I asked to add sour cream and cheese on my tacos and I actually got it. The green sauce is delicious. The tortillas tasted homemade (I wonder if they are). My wife and I had the carne asada tacos and the meat was very flavorful and juicy. Highly recommend when it's hard to find an actually good taco spot in Portland!

This quaint little cart is a treasure. The food was fantastic, the service was above and beyond, and the ambiance was great. I love the theme, I'm a huge Frida Kahlo fan, it was colorful and chill. The staff/owners were so friendly and accommodating; creating custom orders to give us exactly what we wanted, and taking genuine joy and pride in making delicious food for people. Also, everyone cleared their plate. I will definitely be back.

Wow their pastor was top notch! The street tacos had generous meat portions which is becoming more of a rarity these days! I appreciate that they stay open until midnight because most places downtown tend to close at 9PM. I can’t wait to go back!

Extremely delicious cart with a great range in their menu. The cart is clean and approachable with a couple of tables on the sidewalk in front - a hot commodity in the food cart scene! The sauce for the Spicy Garlic Shrimp is delicious and the beans and rice are great as well. Hope to come back on my next visit to Portland!
