    A good local neighborhood taco spot. Mainly Americanized tacos...but very tasty and good. Had a variety, fish, cauliflower, veggie special and carnivore special tacos. And enjoyed their ceviche...a bit dry/over processed. Overall good with great atmosphere.

    This place is a great vibe. Wonderful service and it's nice inside and outside area. The food is well priced and very tasty, I think it could be a bit more flavorful.

    First time visiting Tacovore and I love the atmosphere! It wasn't overly crowded on a Sunday night. Had the Taquitos (comes with black beans, green rice, salsa and guacamole on the plate) and a lovely Mexican lager. The food was delicious. Portion sizes were ok. I would say the price could be a little more reasonable for what you get. Chips, salsa and guacamole were $11 and the size was small! This is my friend's favorite place, so I'll definitely be back.

    These two staff are terrible ppl. Lack customer service.

    Before the bad, I'll share the good. There are two female staff member that work here that have great customer service. Now the bad! This place sucks. Staff in picture were very rude and treated my friends like criminals when ordering a 2nd shot. They made up fake rules and then claimed that the group was too intoxicated after one drink and one shot. There are many better places in PDX if you're looking for good food and drinks. Wouldn't recommend this place if it was the last option on earth.

    Liked it so much I bought a sweatshirt! Great drinks, salsa, handmade tortillas, yummy nachos and we will be back!

    Carne Asada Taco and Crispy Calamari Taco

    Good ambiance. I like that they have a few TV's, a bar and a variety of seating options. Tacos were great. Good size and tasty. I had the Carne Asada and the Crispy Calamari (which I ended up getting two of because the first was so good). Prices are on the higher side ($5-6.50 a taco) but at least they're not street size. Probably would give them a 5 star if the per taco price wasn't quite as high as it is.

    Came in on a Wednesday night around 6pm. The place was hopping. Order at the counter type of thing and bus your own table. Tacos were priced a little high. My gripe is actually with customers who give shitty ass reviews. "Tacos aren't authentic" Okay first of all reading is fundamental. They never said their tacos were authentic. They have cauliflower tacos on the menu and tacos priced at over $6. If you want authentic tacos, you go to a taco truck where you can get them for about $2 each. (Which by the way I love those too) But you're coming here because it's gluten free and also because damn their inauthentic rice tastes amazing. I got three tacos and a cup of their chicken tortilla soup with a side of rice. When I come back I'm gonna skip the tacos and get a bowl of the soup and the side of rice. Yes, I also didn't care for the non authentic tacos but no I'm not going to give them a shitty review because of it. They never said they were authentic. Now if they said here's tacos and was served a cheeseburger, then maybe I'd complain. I'm coming back here. Oo also the drinks were delicious.

    Chicken Bowl was properly appointed

    Came 2 nights in a row because I was really pleased the first night. Came back the second night at last call and was told I could only order to go, which I did. When my food came, there were still at least 5 tables dining, socializing, and drinking, so I asked if I could eat my food inside since there were people still seated and enjoying the ambiance. They told me I wasn't able to eat inside and needed to take my food elsewhere. I went and sat at the tables outside in the cold of night and rain, and watched as all the others still seated enjoyed their food and beverages inside. Sometimes it's the little things that matter, especially to a return customer. Hopefully someone From the management team reads this and makes some corrections, or addresses this with the staff. This score isn't based off the food, it was based off of a customer service experience.

    Chips and guacamole
    Keely N.

    It was my first time trying Tacovore. The passion fruit margarita was delicious! I would definitely get cocktails here again and re-order the cauliflower taco. I wasn't a fan of the smoky tofu because of the smokiness but I think that's an individual preference. I like how you can get your sauces in the fridge. And the food was prepared quickly. I thought that the chips and guacamole were pricey due to the small portion of guacamole from the appetizer. The guacamole was also too citrusy for my individual preference.

    Fish and beef taco, chips and guac
    Esther K.

    Tacos were OK but I've definitely had better...but the guac was watery and had chunks of avocado past its prime. Not very flavorful and tasted like guac you buy at Safeway. I would go elsewhere.

    Shirley goth mocktail

    Best mocktails ever, very cute outdoor seating, and delicious vegan cauliflower tacos! The tacos are very filling, worth the $5. And service was kind and quick!

    I've looked forward to writing this review for a number of weeks now... ashamed I haven't done it…read moresooner. Wilder. WOW. JUST WOW. This is another one of those rare reviews I write where I regret we can't give more than 5-stars! Wilder is truly one of the greatest restaurants in all of the Portland metro. Discovered on a random Saturday morning months ago, we stumbled in for a late brunch... it was a knock-your-socks off moment. First, their Benedict is absolutley delectable! We all know I'm a sucker for a good Benedict but I'll put this one in my top-3 EVER! Absolutely wonderful! Secondly, having returned multiple times for brunch, I can confidently say, you can't choose wrong from their menu! During brunch one morning, we came to the realization that Wilder offers dinner, as well! Sure enough, we were back within the week. First thing we noticed was gluten-free fried chicken... what? Who would have thought?!?! Of course, it was on the list + their Steak Tartare. I'll just say, we couldn't have ordered better. Their chicken is literally, out of this world. Having lived in the southeast of the country twice now, I feel as though I've experienced some pretty darn good fried chicken. However, the Wilder's Fried Chicken was absolutely enchanting, every bite! The Steak Tartare was served beautifully, with a yolk on top... how much better does it get? Ambiance is cozy and romantic. Bright and intimate in the mornings for brunch, dark and moody in the evenings for dinner. It strikes the perfect mood, every visit. We would be remiss not to mention their fabulous staff. Each and every member of their team is a delight. Professional, kind, friendly, and engaging. Nothing but positive interactions, every single time. Drinks are wonderful, bar staff is obviously knowledgable. Great selection of spirits and wine. Food is to die for. Staff is top-notch! Wilder has earned nothing less than a perfect 5-star rating. Truly in our Top 3 favorite restaurants in all of Portland and permanently on our weekly list of places to visit. As it has started to become our Friday "date night" spot, it certainly makes me anxious for the weekends to get here! Go enjoy, you won't regret it! Thank me later!

    Wow! Been sleeping on this place. Everyone that worked there was a delight and seemed to work…read moreeffortlessly together. Special shout out to the kitchen staff for big multitasking energy: watching the game, closing out the place, and firing out some amazing food. Wilder's near-close happy hour offerings were both tasty and generous. Cocktails featured offerings from local distillers that yielded complex flavors but nothing that was "trying too hard" to be artisanal. Also Made my date's night that they were using polenta as a bun.

    First time in this friendly neighborhood beer hall. Came for their offering during Portland Pizza…read moreWeek. The intent is that you can get a creative slice for a uniform price at any participating location during the promo week. But here they only sell a whole pan. Would it kill them just to play along? Feels kinda underhanded. That said, their square "Let's Get Baked" was kinda weak, but with a yummy crust. After this experience I conclude that potato does not go well on pizza, the flavor profile is too bland. The wait was long. No condiments other than pepper flakes. The tables propped up by a large beer keg kinda suck as it's difficult to stretch your legs. Friendly bartender. iPad defaults to a minimum 20%, but that's Portland. The Trainsong Saison beer completed the meal well. Doable parking. People look happy here.

    A classic example of a neighborhood brewery…read more The brewery is unpretentious and blends naturally with the area. Plenty of well worn seating inside and out. The beertender with glasses was right on friendly with his welcoming making you think you are undoubtedly going to keep your card on tab. Cool guy. Their core Watershed IPA is solid but a seasonal favorite is the Ill Tempered Gnome Brown Ale. Small batch brewing keeps new brews in rotation. Pizza is ~ 8in Detroit style a bit pricey but good. Seasonal events makes this a popular spot for repeat customers. Street parking. The music is loud on the weekends.

    It's truly disappointing when restaurants and other businesses choose to take a political stance…read morethat makes some customers feel unwelcome simply because of their beliefs or support for the Constitution. My wife and I drove over 30 minutes to visit this location because we were looking forward to enjoying good BBQ, tacos and a beer. Unfortunately, the political signage displayed throughout the windows and establishment made us feel unwelcome, so we decided not to stay. Great Notion and Matt's BBQ Tacos, you've pushed away customers who came ready to support your business and spend money with you. I wish you the best, but it seems you've chosen to operate not only as a restaurant and brewery, but also as a platform for political messaging. That's your right, of course, but it's a direction that may alienate customers who simply want to enjoy good food and drinks without politics being part of the experience.

With a very large patio and big garage doors, it's great during summer especially. Staff is knowledgeable about their beer, patient while we deliberated, and did us a favor to help the beer travel on the plane. The kitchen is now operated by Matt's BBQ Tacos (which I will review separately).
