El Goloso PDX - Birria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Holy moly. I've never had a breakfast taco before. But I wasn't expecting this. For $5 I was expecting scrambled eggs, some sausage, maybe a couple potatoes. THIS THING WAS LOADED! Perfect amount of crispy and gooey cheese, loaded with sauces and garnish, GREAT quality sausage, lil side of peppers. Folks there were smiling ear to ear the whole time. I. Retrospect, I think we got there a little earlier than they actually opened, but they happily took my order I didn't even think until I saw their hours to pull up yelp and write this. Combined with the beautifully decorated food truck pod... I will be back. I'll get two next time though. read more

Great tacos. We stopped by this court for a first visit at lunch. It was a Sunday, so I wasn't sure how many trucks would be open. I intended to try a different truck but I'm happy it wasn't open yet. We each got some tacos and man were they tasty. My asada was good but the chicken was amazing, standout flavor to me. Thanks to those grilled onions they provided on the side my tacos morphed into fajitas. Fabulous truck court, friendly and fast service, and very yummy tacos. read more

Wow. So insanely good. I ordered via DoorDash and had never tried them, but they shot up to my favorite taco spot immediately. I got 2 carne asada tacos and 2 tinga tacos, both DELICIOUS. Soft, fresh tortillas to boot. The food arrived so fresh and hot, beautifully packaged as well. All of the salsas are so good I could drink them. My number one favorite thing is that they actually gave me one lime wedge for each taco!!! So many places skimp or charge for any more than one. Definitely will be eating here often! read more

El Goloso PDX - Carne asada and Tinga tacos - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm a simple gal. I just love Al Pastor. 5 tacos, great sauce, little added accoutrements like cucumber, grilled jalepeño and onion?! Such a nice touch! And the sauces. Get the rich green. Just get lit up with heat. Just the whole deal is amazing. If you like Pastor as much as I do, definitely check this place out. I've had maybe every Pastor in Portland surrounding area. Will be back! Also tip your servers like a boss. 25% or more. Hot ass food cart trucks on hot ass days. Support our neighbors making good food! read more

El Goloso PDX - 5 Al Pastor tacos, didn't ask for secondary accoutrements but loved it (yes there's hidden tacos in there) - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Amazing customer service and the food was just as great! So tender, juicy, and very flavorful! Definitely will be back to try more menu items! read more

I live in California where we have some of the best Mexican food but wow was I wowed. Menu is small but great, portion sizing was huge. Service was really friendly and fast. This is probably one of the best taqueria food trucks I have gone to in a long time. There are a group of other food trucks and outdoor and covered indoor seating. Really great spot. About $56 after tip for 2 large meals, a huge portion of chips and REALLY good and spicy salsa, and 2 huge agua frescas. read more

Inside a nice unique food pod, good meat seasoning, nice fresh tortillas, would come back!

Perhaps the largest burrito I've ever encountered in the wild. Absolutely massive. The adobada pork was well done, the interior of the burrito a messy but well-contained mix of flavors, and the house salsas were great, too. Did I mention it was huge? read more

Every time I visit, I have to get the goloso fries!! Reasonable priced and super delicious read more

I should have taken pics, I ordered the Al Pastor Quesadilla and the Asada Torta. Hands down one of the best Mexican spots Ive tried had in Portland. No BS this is not a bot, I almost cried it was so flavor-full and the portions were perfect. read more

Sooo delicious, and incredibly friendly! My friends and I trekked our way over here through a recommendation, and we were not disappointed. We came in on a weekday with (truly) no one else around. I think it was probably around 10am and only this and one other spot was open. Tacos for breakfast might sound heavy, but this hit the spot. Even the horchata was a fan favorite. After loving both our food and drinks, I couldn't help myself and ordered some churros. So glad I did because they were definitely some of the best churros I've ever had. I'll be thinking about it for a while! This was my first visit to Oregon and no one told me there was such good food there. No wonder a lot of people move here and never return home! I'm so, so impressed. read more

Great new taco cart in the Piedmont station food cart pod. $3 street tacos. The chicken Al pastor is my favorite, not a lot of spots have it and it is quite juicy and they're filled up pretty generously w/ meat, and just the basic cilantro and raw white onion (as it should be) but they give you a little bit of some sautéed onions on the side you can put on if you want and then you choose whatever salsas you want. With sooo much competition nearby (at least 10 others within walking distance) it's hard to keep rank anymore but they are definitely in the top 4 out of 12 in my neighborhood. read more

This place is amazing and my new favorite taco spot in town. I especially love the birria tacos. Order 3 and you get the consume. Their salsas are also amazing. 5/5 highly recommend! read more

Some of the best Mexican food I've have in Portland!!! So glad I tried it, I now get it for takeout often. I've tried a few places and Goloso really gets it right. Their asada torta is flavorful, the telera is toasty, and the pickled chiles add some nice heat. The quesadillas (not the flour kind), huaraches, and sopes are made from scratch and really remind me of the food you find in CDMX and Puebla. Also, THE best pastor I've had here (THEY ACTUALLY ADD PINEAPPLE)! Other places that sell "pastor" get the flavor and cut wrong (so disappointing). Even though I get it delivered, the service is great! You can tell they really take pride in their food and care for authenticity!!! read more

Incredibly tasty burritos! Been coming back to El Goloso at least once a week and the burritos get better and better each time. Don't skimp on the hot sauces! Best burritos in PDX, no question. read more

Flavorful and delicious. I called to order and the turn around was 15 minutes. When I got there my food was ready and the transaction was smooth. The staff was friendly. The only thing is that parking is a little tough but it's Portland. The food presentation and smell had us practically drooling all the way home. We all scarfed our food down I almost forgot to take pictures. This might be our favorite taco truck. read more

Delicious, great soyrizo burrito. Very, "meat" forward. A little in the expensive side - person working there accidentally switched vegetarian dish app for meat dish app and instead of offering to fix it just gave it to me and let me know? - I was on my way somewhere so I just let it go, but would have rather had what I originally ordered! Or an attempt to resolve it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

Amazing street tacos! So full of flavor and filled with a healthy amount of perfectly cooked and seasoned meats! Do not mis out - eat here!

The BEST burrito I've had in ages. The tortilla was perfect. The flavor was perfect - all the ingredients complemented each other, and while you could taste individual elements, nothing overwhelmed anything else. Not greasy. Huge portion. Delicious!!! read more

We were able to enjoy this delicious catered food at a friend's Christmas party and it was out of this world! All of their tacos were very flavorful and not greasy at all! Their salsas were out of this world as well! We are from California and it's VERY difficult to find true authentic food here in the NW! This place is 10/10 and I would highly recommend! Our family will definitely be back to eat here! Thank you for the delicious food!!! read more

This place was the best decision I made to get great food! Everything was was good even the beans and rice!
