As a vegan who loved Mexican food prior to becoming vegan, I have long lamented the dearth of good vegan Mexican food -- indeed, prior to discovering Mis Tacones, the best vegan tacos I've eaten were beans, guac and a vegan cabbage slaw. And they were pretty good, but clearly lacking the flavor fully marinated meat flavors that tacos are famous for. BUT -! Tonight my dreams came true when I ordered -- and promptly devoured -- the vegan carne asada taco. Never have my taste buds danced with such ecstatic bliss as when savoring this bliss of spicy sabrosa-ness! Next I sampled the 3 Hermanos Empanada-- the interior was and cashew crema was delicious...and here is my only critique: the masa-based "pastry" (that enfolds the interior) was too heavy and dense. Now, truth be told my standards are epically high for empanadas, as I come from THE OTHER PORTLAND (Maine) and, as odd as this sounds for such a white-bread state, the best empanadas I've ever eaten (and there is a long list of empanada places I have eaten in NYC and SF) is in Portland Maine (it's called Quiero, and for good reason). So if I could conjure the greatest empanada ever made, it would involve the pastry shell from Quiero in Portland Maine with the interior 3 Hermanos filling from Mis Tacones in PDX. Mic drop, I'm out! Ps. Incredibly colorful, arty and fun interior. Pps. Cute queer staff who steered me right and are definitely flirt-worthy. read more

I ordered via Door dash and even then it was presented so beautifully! I ordered La Chimi and it was such a good portion, I was able to save half for the next day! Being Mexican it's hard to find foods of my childhood that are vegan and this has really opened my eyes to the possibilities. The gluten free brownies WERE SO GOOD I love when they are so goopy!! All my food and my horchata was amazing I can't wait to come back again i can't wait to see the store! Also didn't take a picture it looked so good I immediately went in and when I realized I forgot to take a photo she wasn't lookin so pretty anymore read more

Vibe: slightly busy, and can be hectic but the staff doesnt rush you. Feels like a "no-judgement" zone, which makes me happy. Food: so much vegan yumminess. Can be a bit spicy so ask if you want a mild option. My current favorites are: Al pastor or asada as fillings in tacos, burritos, or la chimi. The soyrizo was so spicy it covered the other flavors for me, but some like it hot! Would I go back? Definitely! read more

We went for their Valentines dinner and honestly it was one of the most romantic and beautiful evenings we've ever had. It was decorated to the nines and the decor was made in house. We were greeted and it was so warm and comfortable. No on to the food, it was amazing and delicious each course they brought out was delicious my favorite was the empanadas and my husbands favorite was the onion salad. We were able to take home the flowers which was a very sweet gift from the owners who are truly an amazing team and people. We appreciated their sliding scale pricing to include everyone no matter income. We felt apart of the fun and it was such a blessing. read more

The La Chimi is a MUST!! Mis Tacones somehow makes traditional Mexican food vegan without lacking any of the flavor! My Carne Asada Taco was just okay, but the Nachos Asada with fries were amazing!! Everything was beyond flavorful and the portions were enormous. My boyfriend and I split the La Chimi, Taco, and Nachos Asada with Fries. Even though we were so full, we did not feel bloated or have a heavy feeling in our stomachs due to the quality ingredients Mis Tacones provides its patrons. The restaurant gets busy and seating was limited inside, so just plan ahead if you are visiting Portland and not quite as acclimated to the weather. Still thinking about this place weeks after our visit! read more

Friend introduced me to this spot and I found it to be absolutely delicious! I'm not vegan, and loved everything. The salsas and cashew cheese dip were fantastic. Went for the alcoholic horchata, but they did have a full coffee bar I believe. They lost electricity in one part of the kitchen which may have affected the Service. One person kept saying something to the effect of, "I will have to trust you" when we told her some side items were missing from the order. It felt off-putting. We were willing to show her our orders on the phone, but she opted not to confirm. Place was decorated up for Halloween which they did a great job on. I would take friends here! read more

Extremely flavorful vegan Mexican food. Their soyrizo empanada is 100% one of my favorite things ever! I love that they're one of the few vegan restaurants in PDX open pretty late (10). Their menu is tacos, tortas, chimichangas, burritos, nachos, fries, etc! Tried the virgin margarita and that was different and unique. Tasted very similar to a regular margarita but zero proof. The service was great and attentive as well. Love their brunch very much! read more

I have been wanting to try Mis Tacones forever - boy was it worth the wait!!!!! Their chimichanga is ginormous (it fed 3 of us) and was so delicious I can't stop thinking about it! The nachos were also HUGE and very very delicious! Everyone was so nice and helpful and the place is so cute and welcoming. I brought 2 non-vegans with me and they were very very impressed!

Had an enjoyable visit over to Mis Tacones with some friends who were in town who are vegan. We needed an easy brunch spot and this fit the bill. I'll preface by saying that I personally am not vegan. Overall atmosphere is chill and fast casual I would say. Menu can be found at the table but you overall order at the counter which worked fine since it wasn't busy during our visit but I could see slowing things down. The decor is fun and festive with large murals and a lot of color. Food overall was tasty and satisfying. The portions I will say are good, and the general flavors are nice. We split the burrito with asada seitan, which packed a lot of flavor. I appreciated the salsas they had to go with the meals. I wouldn't go as far to say this was better than its meat alternative but it was a solid vegan option. If you need an all vegan spot this is a great choice, but otherwise probably wouldn't rush back. read more

Wow! Just wow! I found this in an advertisement in the Portland Opera playbill, so I decided to check it out. I had the el pastor nachos which were out of this world followed by the asada quesadillas. Also terrific. To drink, a delicious mezcal margarita. 10/10. This might have been one of the most flavorful Mexican meals I have ever had in my life. Location isn't convenient, but I will definitely go out of my way to comeback. read more

Was disappointed after hearing all of the hype. I love how they use blue corn tortillas, but the taco flavors and stuffings were not as flavorful as expected. The corn empanada just had corn inside and it was a little dry with barely any flavoring. Meanwhile the tacos needed a lot of sauce. I tried one of the asada seitan tacos but unfortunately the seitan had that strange seitan-like flavor. That was my least favorite taco and I had to use a lot of salsa cover up the fake meat flavor. The frijole (beans) taco was way better. For someone who is used to eating regular meat tacos, this does not pass the bar. read more

So excited I stumbled upon Mis Tacones, PDXs top Vegan Mexican restaurant. I was inspired by Polo and Carlos' story and support their Queer Chicano Dream. The food was delicious, freshly made tortillas, the empanadas & tacos delightful. Matt and the crew worked hard to ensure I had a pleasant experience. The decor, the ambiance & interior design resonated with my own Queer Mexican identify - I felt at home, I felt safe. Service, quality, value & mission - top notch. I was also impressed by Carlos & Polo's mission to provide meals for marginalized communities & folks who may be struggling with resources. Highly recommend. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. This was my second time visiting Mis Tacones, but my first time dining in. Although there is only a small amount of seating inside, the space is thoughtfully decorated creating a very fun and lively atmosphere. The staff are all friendly and personable. I ordered the Mulita de pollo, which is a gluten-free version of a quesadilla made with a corn tortilla instead of a flour tortilla. It was full of flavor and came with a great portion size. My sister and Madre ordered the burrito ahogado (wet) and la chimi. Both were HUGE and just as delicious. For dessert, we shared La Casa De Mamas Pumpkin Tres Leches cake which we all devoured as it was so good! read more

I was super excited to try this vegan Mexican place in PDX. Ordered Taco Al Pastor and Quesadilla Asada. Both were pretty great. The al pastor have quite a flavor and that garlic cashew crema sauce on top of it is a great combination. I liked the taco tortilla as well. Liked quesadilla asada too - just put some hot sauce by the side. I was tempted to try mock tails and cocktails as they looked great! The service was quick enough. read more

I like Mexican food. Once in a while I'll have to be honest it's not my favorite food but I always find something delicious and when a buddy of mine recommended a VEGAN Mexican we had to try it. I am not a vegan or vegetarian (my husband is a pescatarian (he eats veggies and fish). But that never hood us back on trying vegan dishes. Mis Tacones not only a vegan Mexican but also a great safe place for the lgbtq community a specific part of the community even can eat free on special occasions. And everyone can support this with paying forward a meal. Great idea and worth it! The food was great and everything you see on the pictures has been tasty. So nothing wrong and if you like Mexican food then you will enjoy mis tacones! The Ambiente and music (!) is authentic and a reason my husband almost run out with bloody ears haha (say he isn't a fan of traditional Mexican music) - but he stayed to finish his burrito. TBH he did not since it was so much food we had to take it home to enjoy it tomorrow. Prices are on the higher end for a "order at the counter" restaurant but then again it's worth it and it's community supporting! So all is fair! read more

The server was extremely rude, definitely didn't feel welcome. Very disappointed after wanting to try.

Ordered a few tacos, an empanada, and the wet burrito to share. Was very excited to have all vegan options. The food was good, but it didn't blow me away, like I was expecting. It's possible that I just didn't pick the most stand out options. If I lived closer I'd definitely go back for another go! The artwork and mural outside were so cute and well done, that was very fun to look at as we waited for the food (which was quite a long wait, but I think that just speaks to their popularity!) read more

A vibrant spot with fun ambience and energy. We're immediately drawn by the La Chimi and Papas Nachos. Both the description and photos for these sounded/looked amazing. Unfortunately, only one item delivered...The Papas Nachos had a lot of potential with cremay and flavorful sauces, as well as an abundance of Al pastor, but the fries themselves were cold and soggy. A big no-no for me. I barely touched it. In contrast, the La Chimi was piping hot, freshly fried, and crispy on the outside. Love the generous amount of filling and guac in the burrito. The pickled onions were very refreshing as well. Wish the meal turned out better than it did, but all in all, a so-so spot for me. read more

This portland place is greatly raved. Very chic ambiance, parking here is really difficult and street parking only. Empanada Elote Nicely done with a good amount of corn Frijoles Taco This was ok, but we liked the other one. Tres Hermanes Taco Good tasting California burrito Loaded Al Pastor Quesedilla Best of all, we had ordered. All the dishes were missing the light kick that Mexican dishes could bring. We were given green and red sauce when asked. Both of the sauces were so diluted, did not help, green was little better. If they use fresh ingredients and add little spice to their dishes, this has the potential to become a great one. Great service, though! read more

I was in town visiting and absolutely had to stop here. It was a must and has been on my list of vegan stops. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. I couldn't get enough of it. I went on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't crazy busy but definitely the small crew was backed up. So there was a little wait but well worth it. Casual style place with something for everyone. Order at the register and then pick your spot to sit. My pro tip: TRY THE HORCHATA literally the best I've ever had. read more

So good, it's excellent Mexican food, vegan or not, but it's also just excellent vegan Mexican food - it's not just deep fried and messy (which has its place), but really tasty and appetizing. I looked at what I ordered and announced I'd never be able to finish all of this. I finished it, because what else can you do; bite follows bite, you don't want to stop. Service was patient and nice. read more

I don't appreciate the upcharge for using a credit card. If there was a notice, I didn't see it so it's either barely mentioned or not at all. Customers resent such type of nickel and dime tactics, it almost always backfires in the long run. The Rum Horchata was creative, decent. The Torta bread was fresh and fluffy, overall, a satisfying sandwich. While the interior is aesthetically pleasing, the aura was far from friendly (not rude though.) I appreciate the the POC, queer and community focus angle. One and done for me. read more

First timer from Southern California! My cousin brought us here as it's one of their favorite places to eat. I've been vegan-curious () and was super stoked to try it - my husband was a bit more apprehensive. I ordered the soy chorizo y papas empanada and it was TO DIE for! The asada taco was also super yummy. My husband absolutely loved his asada burrito and said it was one of the best burritos he's ever had. In LA so many of the taco stands use cheap asada and it's just not great, so to have a bomb vegan asada burrito was awesome. Next time we visit we will absolutely be back! read more

Myself and two of my coworkers randomly chose to come to this place. One is vegan and the other is vegetarian flexible lol. I'm neither, and thought I'd be down to try my very first vegan restaurant. Mis Tacones did not disappoint. Food was 10/10, our server was great, and the vibes/decor were clean, the music was poppin on the front of the menu it says "trans POC eat for free". I was shocked, and elated because I am a trans person of color, so my meal was FREE. My burrito I ordered was $19, I did have to pay for my alcoholic Paloma drink which is totally fine! My drink was $11 and I left a decent tip. my two girl friends had to pay for their meals we had a good time. It's queer owned, welcoming, good friendly people. We will be back! Thank you read more

We were here for brunch on a Saturday. We had made a reservation for 6 but half our group came half an hour late. They were quite nice about it and still gave us the table on time. We ordered via the QR code on the table. One of the drinks we ordered without alcohol was mistakenly made with alcohol. I'm glad I tasted it before giving it to my daughter, realizing that it was alcoholic. We told them and they gave us a non alcoholic version quickly. Food came fast. They didn't have the egg substitute ("Just egg"), so everything came with the tofu scramble instead, which was pretty good though. All dishes tasted great (quesadilla, soyrizo & huevos desayuno, enchiladas suizas, breakfast plato). Drinks weren't as good as I was expecting them to be, based on the reviews. Really liked the Cafe de Olla though. There's a lot of natural light coming in, so it was great to try it during brunch time. Will try their dinner menu next time. read more

I never knew this place existed until I happened to stroll by it, and I'm so glad I did! The entire place is vegan--everything here is fully plant-based, and on top of that, it's delicious! The employees are great, and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Personally, I enjoyed sitting outside, especially because of Portland's warm August weather. When I visited, I got a fried chimichanga and a quesadilla. I also tried one of their mocktail drinks, and everything was delicious. Although I wish the menu had mentioned that the chimichanga was fried, it was still fantastic. The presentation of the food was great, and I would definitely come here again if I'm in the area. read more

I have to sadly give 3 stars for the food here, but the service and welcoming atmospheric definitely give the boost to 4. Let me say I'm not a HUGE fan of "meat replacement" for vegans. I'd rather have plant based. I don't like fried food at all, it doesn't make me feel good. But my daughter LOVES Mexican food and was dying to go. We kind of just had an impromptu Mom/daughter afternoon and she chose this for late lunch/early dinner. We got nachos with (I THINK,) Al Pastor. I liked them okay. They were very greasy, chips, sauces and the "fake meats." As I said, I'd rather keep it simple and fresh but we wanted to experience this spot we had heard raved about. We had Asada Quesadillas, which I REALLY disliked because they were actually DRIPPING WITH grease. (Which you can see in the picture where I'm holding a slice.) My daughter liked them the best so I had one and was done. Because that much grease equals a very unhappy tummy for me! We also got two of the tacos. We got the Pollo (soy curls,) and the Frijoles. Thank goodness these were my daughter's least favorite because they were my favorite. The tortilla itself was a lovely texture. Floppy but thicker than a flour tortilla and a BIT chewier. I really enjoyed it. Because I really dislike plain corn tortillas. These Nixtamal tortillas were delish!! The Pollo was a great flavor and the frijoles as well. It lacked texture in the actual taco for me though. Like a bright vegetable mix, cabbage, peppers, salsa? I don't know. So just okay. The drinks we enjoyed were delicious. I had a margarita, which was delicious. And she had an Agua Fresca and it too was delicious. As I said, the atmosphere is VERY welcoming and we wanted to support a business that welcomes everyone. Especially when they welcome Trans POC to eat FREE. That's awesome!!! The young guy who took our order came and checked on us several times and was very friendly. That added kindness got me to 4 stars since to me it was all a bit just OKAY. read more
