This is another hidden gem located in a food truck pod in Downtown Portland. The owner was so…read morefriendly, and we could tell that he puts great care into presenting and making his dishes. We ordered a burrito and the taco de birria. This was the largest burrito I've ever seen, and not a meal for one! It definitely uses a custom made tortilla and you can't pick this thing up without making a mess, so I opted for fork and knife for my half, and my partner picked it up and didn't put it down until it was done. It's packed full of rice, meat, refried beans, cheese and sour cream. The portions were so generous, and it was quite tasty. In my option the meat could have been more heavily seasoned to stand up against all the other milder/calming flavours. The taco de birria was also enormous, was more like a quesadilla and it was cut into quarters, and topped with onions, cilantro and sour cream. The meat was flavourful and tasted so good dipped into the consommé. Will definitely be back again the next time I'm in town. Definitely give this a try if you haven't already. Generous portions and great service, and don't forget to bring lots of napkins!

This is elevated mexican food so you won't find any burritos here and many dishes are seafood, three dishes (empanditas and quesadilla, hongos/mushroom main) provide vegetarian options. The menu is two sections, appetizers to share (most easily shared 2 people per dish as they come with 2 tostaditas) and a shared larger dish section of a protein with accompaniments big enough for 2-4. Order from the wine menu by trusting your waitstaff - you can get half pours to try more from the well curated list. Dishes are flavorful and fun and you'll want to leave no drop of salsa behind.

This new project replicates the magic but keeps the approachability that we loved so much about La Fondita, this time in an evening format. Expect a family style dinner with Mexican staples like cochinita and carne asada, elevated with exquisite salsas and handmade tortillas that have real nixtamalized heirloom corn. If you don't know what wine to order, ask--and you might get a chance to taste before you commit to the full glass. Or order a half glass and create your own wine pairing menu. You might think that a chef with a heritage like Lauro Romero might break the bank, but you would be wrong. We paid about $120 for multiple courses + desert for two. While I don't have a problem paying top dollar for good food, and Clandestino could easily be that kind of restaurant, I appreciate the philosophy of keeping elevated food relatively affordable. How else are Portlanders going to learn what the real thing tastes like? Of course, there are some small things they are still working out as a new restaurant. I would have liked to see some Mexican wines on the list, and it's unfortunate they only open Monday-Wednesday. But all in good time. Meanwhile, we will be taking advantage of the fact that it's still relatively easy to get a table and sharing this place with people we know will appreciate it for what it is.

Located at the Portland State Farmers Market, this is a great start to your day!…read more Very simple menu - all the burritos come with: - Eggs scrambled with hatch green chile, seasoned potatoes, and tillanook cheese in warm flour tortilla. You have the option of just eggs (as the protein), or you can choose to have it with bacon or sausage, or bacon AND sausage. As of March 2026, it starts at $8 for the basic; $9 for bacon or sausage; and $10 for both bacon and sausage. You'll know where they are by the crowd waiting for their burritos (or the line I suppose - when I went, there was no line but apparently there are times when there are lines). The burrito was good, but the salsa is the reason I would return. The salsa (both of them) are amazing!
