El Gallo Taqueria

First impression was small and a little hipster - not sure it was going to pass our test of love for cheap Mexican. The hand pressed tortillas were great - didn’t crumble and fall apart, thick, delicious. Fish taco = would definitely order again. Good, perfectly battered fish. veggie: standard taco, great option, nothing extraordinary (but would order again if vegetarian) Carnitas = good! Had this in burrito and in a taco, both tasty!

One of the first places I ate at when I first moved to Portland. The space seems a bit small at first, but there's a few more seats farther back as well. As long as you don't come during peak meal hours, you'll find seating. There's a reason why it gets busy, and it's because people know it's good! The food is amazing! This is the only place in Portland that I like going to for tacos or burritos. It tastes genuinely good, and it reminds me of food I used to get in Texas. A note to people who haven't been here before: the tacos are small; you might even call them snack sized. There's a reason why they're $3 each. For reference, I usually get two to three tacos when I come here to eat. Some of my friends with bigger appetites will occasionally get four tacos.

This place is one of the best burritos ever! I really like their varieties of choices including brunch and vegan burritos. I'm new to town but I have to say the food here is way better than Chipotle. I really like how creative they are to use a deck of cards as the calling number. They don't have obvious signs sticking out of the restaurant, but this place is easy to find really. Ample of parking nearby. Highly recommend this place!
