More of Outdoor Bar than we thought it would be. Which we liked. Lots of people were there to party. The food was fine. Some nights the outdoor area is full - Other nights it is practically empty.

Loved the food here! I had the fish tacos which were delicious and family members had the tamales, which they enjoyed. The guac was tasty and fresh. Will return here next time I'm in PDX.

I go here all the time after Soccer and it has such a nice outdoor patio space. Their food is really good too, I like their tacos in particular and the margaritas with agave are bomb.

This is a hidden Portland gem. We visited on an extremely hot day which is the only reason I can think why their large covered patio was not packed. The portions are generous with fresh ingredients prepared traditionally. Let's just say the tamales aren't wrapped in a corn husk. We will be back soon!

Love tamale boy. Had not eaten here in a frw years and i had totally forgotten how good their burritos were. The carnitas is amazeballs.

I ordered from the lunch menu, Huevos Montados, three over easy on top of three crispy tostadas with bean and salsa. There was not enough bean on there. They gave you a lot of salsa. Salsa was good. Eggs were cook perfectly. Order at the window and they take food to your table. Self serve water.

Really amazing tamales that are huge and super cheap. A burrito sized tamale is about $5-6/each.
There is only outdoor seating. But the area is large and half of it is covered from rain. The outdoor seating is great for couples or large groups. You can order drinks at tamale boy. Or you can get drinks from the bottle shop in the same complex.
Very cool atmosphere. I recommend coming here for a weekend lunch or a after work dinner.

I live 5 houses from here so I've tried a LOT of things and loved everything. But one thing I really wanted to give a special shout out for was brunch! Great covered and open outdoor seating and the brunch menu is insanely good. They brought back brunch after 3 years of not having it and it is amazing. The picture below was literally $10 for a hefty 3 egg meal that was probably one of the best meals I've had in Portland so far. Don't sleep on brunch here!!!!

Tamale Boy is a great Portland staple. Lots of great authentic Mexican food at a decent price. Order online line, pick up, or eat there. Beers, horchata, taps, lots of local options at a decent price. There is never a long wait to sit or to get your food. The covered heated patio is great. The tacos are fabulous, and the queso and chips and salsa are great. I love the Tinga de Pollo. Plenty of veggie options for that vegetarian in you.

OMG. Everything was delicious. The tamales were huge! We got mole, cochinita pibil and rajas. The Brussels Sprouts were great! The jicama and watermelon salad was so fresh. Can’t wait to visit again!!
