La Piñata Takos - asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Some solid food tacos from this food cart in Downtown PDX. I had a few street tacos and and gordita from them. The tacos were good and full of flavor. I also liked their gordita as it was a bit sidereal from what I'm used to. The way they cut the tortilla on it was unique, but was good. The prices are pretty reasonable and they do get the food out quick. read more

Food truck located in a parking lot with a bunch of other food trucks, quite a few other taco trucks so decent competition. These were the cheapest priced streets tacos in the lot, but being cheaper doesn't reflect the quality of the food. These tacos were delicious. I definitely recommend checking this spot out. read more

La Pinata Takos makes some great street tacos! I had their shrimp taco, and it really hit the spot. The shrimp was delicious --- not too shrimpy and balanced well with the chipotle sauce they put on it. There were the perfect amounts of cilantro, onion, guacamole, lettuce, and cheese. I also really enjoyed the sauce they gave me on the side! (Please excuse my already squeezed lime. ) My husband ordered their American taco and said he quite enjoyed it as well! He especially liked how they charred their meat all the way through. The woman running the window was friendly and seemed to enjoy working there. Our food was out quickly, but in enough time that you could tell love/preparation went into it. Definitely one of our top favorite taco carts in the area so far! read more

I order from here a lot because the tacos and sopes are great, but the last few times I ordered the chile relleno burrito, the protein was missing. read more

The guy the was working is super sweet and very nice such amazing food definitely will go back if I could I would give a thousand stars

Literally the best burritos of all the places I've tried in Portland. Their shrimp burritos are amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Hands down the BEST taco place in Portland area that I've tried. My go-to spot to satisfy my Mexican food cravings!!! FOOD After trying almost all of taco restaurants in Portland, this place has to be the best! My go-to is the asada and lengua tacos. Let me tell you, they seasoned it to perfection. Meats are very tender and the street taco style is on point. It's sooooo good it reminded me of tacos el gordo in San Diego. SERVICE Since it's a food truck, the service is as good as it gets. It seems like the truck is owned by an older couple and they're the NICEST people we've met. They offered us water while we waited AND chatted us up when we told them it was the best tacos we've had. ALL IN ALL, best taco truck in town with phenomenal owners. Definitely can't wait to come back soon! read more

Best Chile Rellenos Burrito I have EVER Had! SO Delicious! Their Horchata is SO yummy, creamy and very cinnamon-y So good Highly recommend coming to this food truck! read more

We were wandering around downtown and on the way to do some shopping, I spotted La Piñata Takos. They're bunched together with a group of street cart vendors. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 2:30pm). It's run by a husband and wife combo. Everything is freshly made to order so it'll take a few minutes to get your food. Worth it! They asked if we wanted sauce (mild and spicy options); we picked the spicy one, which was solid. The menu is big: burritos, tacos, quesadillas, combos, fajita plate, tortas, tamales and sopes. Tacos are only $1.50 US each! Talk about a good deal. Horchata ($2.00 US) is also reasonable. - Fish taco ($1.50 US) - cilantro, onion, guacamole, tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce, cheese and chipotle sauce. Fish was flaky and tender. - Shrimp taco ($1.50 US) - same toppings. Shrimp were fresh and a good portion. Solid tacos! I'd come back to try their enchiladas. Everything sounded great with super reasonable prices too. read more

This has been a staple for many years! Started going when they were across from the Ash for a 2 AM taco run after going to shows. And have never stopped! Try to go at least twice a month even though I am nowhere near downtown anymore. The food is just that good and the people who run this place are the sweetest people you could ever wanna meet. Best chili relleno burrito I've had and that's including California, Texas, New Mexico & Arizona. Fish tacos can't be beat. Veggie burrito is nice. Enchiladas are great in the city for the food trucks. This place is a stand out. read more

Bomb street tacos with prices that are a steal! If you're in downtown Portland and are looking for a quick bite that doesn't break your wallet and also fills your stomach, then this is your place! (Haha such a wordy sentence). But forreal the shrimp tacos were phenomenal! Could eat those everyday. 5/5 for me. However, the chicken tacos were pretty good, a 3.5/5. Thus the 4-star rating. But really you guys, go check them out if you're in downtown and hungry! read more

One of the few places I can get nachos with liquid cheese. Plus the kind owners are helping me learn Spanish! I now know how to order "the usual" -- which, in my case, are nachos with pastor. So tasty! read more

My favourite place to go after work. A Burrito w/ Machaca & Pastor is my go to. Its never not made to perfection. Prices are cheap and portions are great. I recently tried their Nachos and got the same meat on top that I do for my Burritos (Machaca: Shredded Beef/Pastor:Marinated Pork) and Oh My God was it heaven. One of my favourite spots in Portland and you need to try it, and you better fucking tip when you are there, the two running it are as polite as it gets. read more

La Piñata Takos - Nachos w/ Machaca & Pastor (I got extra nacho cheese too) 12/10 - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

La Pinata Takos' takos confused me. Ordered 2 carne asada takos and 1 fish tako. The carne was good, not great in flavor, and a little too much like ground beef because it was diced into teeny tiny pieces. The fish, on the hand, was pretty good. It wasn't battered like the fish takos I am used to, but instead was lightly seasoned and grilled. The confusing part? All of the protein was nestled on something reminding me of Taco Bell tacos - lots of shredded lettuce, some diced tomatoes, and shredded Mexican cheese. $4.75 was marginal to satiate my curiosity. read more

Hands down the best Mexican food in Portland, period. I haven't had anything I didn't like!

Yummy shrimp and carnitas tacos. Quick, cheap, fast and delicious. The shrimp was juicy, nice bounce to it and tasted fresh.

Everything I've gotten from here has been AMAZING. The tamales in particular are my go to for lunch. They are delicious and cheap! I've also gotten the burritos which are equally great. Everyone needs to try this place and you'll keep coming back. read more

When I dream of fish tacos this is what I dream of. Some of the best fish tacos I've ever had. It was amazing I found them at 10 PM. Love good late night food. Really lovely owners and such amazing food. The perfect amount of food for the price. It was exactly what I was looking for. Go. Just go. read more

I cannot recommend this food cart enough, they have THE BEST street tacos and delicious horchata. I go here multiple times a week and I'm obsessed. My personal fav is the carna asada street taco w green sauce. Also the green sauce is absolutely fabulous read more

Super delicious. Great Mexican....you won't go wrong with whatever you order. Large portions too. Only "complaint" their sauces are really good too, but the containers they use are very small and leak if not held upright. read more

Just a random find as I was looking for lunch on a Friday brought me to Pinata Takos. I honestly didn't want to walk far from my office so I headed over to this "pod". Not much of a pod these days as Big Ass Sandwiches had gone across the river and the other carts here weren't even open. Ordered the Chile Rellenos ($6) and they were very good. I had them Christmas style which means red and green salsa. Good amount of food. Nice friendly service. There were other people waiting for food which is always a good thing. Sometimes you have to take a shot in the dark. read more

Was looking for a quick healthish pescatarian meal. This food truck filled the bill. We for 4 fish tacos. They were grilled fresh (allow a little extra time) and delicious. The salsa (I asked for hot, but they have mild) was homemade and delicious. Also got a chili relleneno. That wasn't battered and fried like I usually have it. It was cooked with scrambled eggs. I'm not usually a fan of pinto beans, but these were delicious! The whole thing was $20 including a tip of slightly over 20%. How can you go wrong with a large specialty meal for two at that price?! Love that I found this little place. read more

Good quesadilla with beans instead of meat. It a mid-afternoon snack too large to eat a real dinner later (I know you're worried, don't worry, I had a hot pretzel around 8 at the movie theater). Good guac, cheese, etc. It's pretty hard to mess up a quesadilla.. The man making my food was fast and nice. read more

This place is awesome. Super cheap prices and they make your food fast. The people who work here are so nice. I wouldn't go anywhere else to get a burrito. Their so good here read more

This place is awesome--it has quickly become our new favorite food cart. Everything from their rice and beans to their meats is delicious and fresh. The carne asada is so juicy and tender - even when I (gasp) microwave my leftovers the next day, the meat is still more flavorful than most asada when it's served fresh. (Seriously, I literally microwaved my leftover asada taquilos the next day the first time we ordered from this place and it was the best taco bowl I've had in a long time.) I have a dumb, annoying avocado allergy and they always accommodate my request to not include guacamole on my food items - something that not all restaurants will do. So not only does La Piñata make awesome food, but they're saving me money on EpiPens! Definitely check this place out. You won't be disappointed. read more

So good! Tacos were delicious!!! Great corn tortillas. Pastor and chorizo were cooked and seasoned perfect. Had to come cash for more. So good. Horchata is like no other. Omg. Favorite taco spot. Too bad I don't live out here . Love the man and woman who work here too. So nice and helpful and respectful. People like them are hard to find. Awesome job guys! read more

The man taking my order was great! So just for that I want to say 3.5 stars. I ordered 2 sopes and a shrimp taco. Ending up eating one sope and the shrimp off the taco. I did dissect the second sope for the meat as well because it was good carne asada. My issues with both was the yellow cheese. I'm simply against yellow cheese in my Mexican food (exception nachos). So for the sope I removed it from the top only to discover that it was actually the base as well... not beans (no beans on this sope). So I finished the one and tried to eat as much meat from the other. Same with the taco. For those not from south of the border (both Oregon and US border), this is probably a good spot. So def worth a shot! read more

$4 gets you a huge bean, cheese, pico, and rice burrito in a warm homemade tortilla. Wash it down with an ice cold 1/2 liter of Mexican coke. And this guy is so friendly - he's got a sliver of a cart on the corner of 3rd and Washington (you really could miss him!). read more

This was a wonderful burrito. I am ravishingly hungry and ferociously eating the food served to me. A carne Asada burrito. I was promised sour cream and maybe some talk of greens, not seeing too much though, but would try again. read more

This place is amazing, and the go to Hispanic food spot for my girlfriend and I. We've been here twice so far and were not disappointed with anything. My favorite is the wet burrito and my girlfriend loves the street tacos. The churros are also amazing. If you ever have the chance, I definitely recommend getting the shredded beef as your choice of meat. Also, do yourself a favor and get a churro or two. You won't regret it! read more
