Omg this place is amazing, very good service people are so nice and respectful is otally worth it and delicious food.

worst chili reno I've had rice and beans we ok, beans runny, not great carnasada was good read more

Home cookin' .... can't deny it. I prefer something more elevated than the hackneyed recipes of rural Mexico. Boring. Flavor was good, but nothing beyond average. read more

Anytime I am in the mood for tacos, this is my go to spot in the Gresham/Troutdale area. El pastor tacos never disappoint.

Best Mexican food ever!! I've eaten a lot of authentic Mexican food but this was by far the best.

The best. Used to live right next to this place and ate here every week. Now we drive 40 minutes when we need the good stuff. read more

i literally never leave reviews but this just blew me. don't get the chile rellenos worst i've ever seen. cheese not even melted and sauce was watery. just take it off the menu. at least the rice and beans and tortillas was solid so i could have something to eat. service was nice but lord i just paid 20 dollars of a small side of rice and beans. not feeling well now also. so unfortunate. read more

Amazing family owned taqueria! Great portion sizes, reasonable prices for the quality of fresh ingredients and meats. The person at the counter was kind and courteous. The chefs were efficient and asked if the food was to my liking and were very kind. Good amount of space to dine in. Quick service! Definitely a must stop when visiting or even if you're a local. read more

Taqueria Santa Cruz - Breakfast Burrito with asada - Mexican Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

The food was so fresh and great portions. I had the veggie burrito and my brother had 2 carne asada tacos. We will be coming back again soon to try more menu items! read more

Ok not only is this a mom and pop place that I want to support, but the food is really very good!!!! We walked in and service was immediate although they were fairly busy. We didn't know what we wanted because we hadn't seen a menu before for this place. I loved in San Diego so I'm used to taco shops... this is a very traditional street taco shop style... food and price and flavor! I asked a few questions.... got very good answers. We were offered a few samples as they could tell my parents aren't familiar with the style. I ordered a carne asada Street taco for $1.50. I ordered a ceviche tostada for $4. I'm freaking love ceviche and this is the first place I've seen it here. I azked a lot of questions and liked what I heard. Mom got a burrito supreme. Dad got a huaranche. We also decided to get some homemade flan after she left us try it!! Total bill was around $20. Food came out quickly but you could tell all of the ingredients were fresh! All of them... the fresh ingredients were fresh, the meat was freshly cooked... just very appetizing! The street taco was a classic street taco and had great flavor. I will order with cotija and avocado next time! The ceviche came as I ordered it with the flying saucers on the side and a separate bowl of the shrimp mixture. I squeezed four lime pieces into it because I like a lot of citrus in my ceviche. This was awesome. Although they used the tiny shrimp which I normally hate --- it worked. The veggies were all fresh and chilled. With a little tapatio this meal was complete. They serve red and green salsa which are both good. The burrito was huge. Truly bigger than I expected. Mom said it was fantastic... I'd never heard of the huaranche before... but it looked exactly like the picture which is a good thing. Dad loved it and he can be picky with being impressed. All in all I will definitely be back! A big thank you to Dan at Gresham Toyota for recommending that we visit! A hidden gem I want to support. To those writing reviews complaining about the street taco size.... uh know what you're ordering lol they make street tacos exactly right... read more

My favorite place for tacos. I eat here 2-3 times a week. They are the best! My dad gets the chicken enchiladas, they are good as well. Steak and chicken tacos tho. read more

there's a LOT of five star reviews (michael G, Joshua C, William L etc) so I better pile on. the decor of this small place was underwhelming (basic dining area, order at the counter) but I wasn't there for the atmosphere. I'm a san diego transplant and I have been hunting for decent authentic mexican food in the gresham area for years. In case you Chipotle diners are wondering what Mexican food is like, please come to Tacqueria Santa Cruz. I ordered an Horchata (sweet rice drink), a chicken Huarache (wuh-rah-chee) and a couple tacos (the little street style tacos/ al carbon): a Lengua and a carni asada. the Hurarache is a "sandal sole" of corn masa filled with meat of your choice, beans lettuce tomato and cheese. super tasty. you can fork and knife it or you can pick it up, pizza style, if you are in a hurry. it's like a sope (little round masa boat) but wider and longer...but sope is a little harder to find in town. the little tacos were spectacular- meat was moist and tender. Lengua (tongue) can be tough at some places but TSC's lengua was just as tender as the carni asada. the red sauce was mild but had great flavor with a little bite of habanero on the back end which I enjoyed on the way home. I'll return soon.... next time - I'll try the Huarache Supreme and a couple more tacos. maybe some rolled tacos - TSC calls them Taquitos. after my Huarache and my tacos, I was full but not staggering. give them a shot, you won't be disappointed! read more

Someone come get your abuela. She is adorable for sure however this doesn't help when she is touching my food with her bare hands. She didn't know whose burrito was whose and used her bare hands to open up the burritos and look inside. I prefer my food unmolested also not to mention this is extremely unhygienic. Never to return and won't even bother to recommend. Do better. read more

Talk about good food...this family ran Mexican food business is fire!! All the food we ordered were chef's kiss...Al pastor, asada, tinga, tostada everything were freshly made and did not lack any favor. If you like some heat, the sauces are very good. Didn't get to take picture of everything but it was super yummy read more

We found this place on our way back from checking out the falls. The food was really good. The Asada Burrito Supreme 9/10, the only reason for the lower points is because it had lettuce which I did not like. The Asada Guarache 7/10, it was okay because it also had a lot of lettuce. The Asada meat was delicious and that i give 10/10 Overall a tiny place with good food and would recommend it for sure read more

Not much more to say besides the service is amazing and the food is excellent! Yummmmmy!

Have not been here for a while. Thought I'd check out their info on Yelp. I see they have more then doubled their prices since I was there last. I used to love going there. No more for me. Out of my price range. It appears all their pictures show the old menu prices. TIME FOR AN UPDATE so customers are not surprised if they look at pics instead of clicking the menu button. read more

Walking in with a warm greeting and a very friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious, everything tasted fresh and all plates are served with very generous portion size. For this type of service and food it is a price you can't beat. Will definitely come back with my family! read more

Stopped in to grab take out on a Friday after work and am so happy that I did. The place is small, with limited seating. I ordered a supreme burrito and two tacos (asada and pollo) plus got one of each salsa. Everything was incredibly delicious and cooked fresh. I'm a fan of spicy salsas and these definitely hit the mark - left my tongue burning a bit. I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

AMAZING tacos, this place is a must. Food always is fresh, flavor is on point. Don't sleep on this one!

Im not sure if i caught them on a bad day or what but the food was terrible. Service was good, place looked clean and spacious, ample parking, good green sauce, but the chicken taquito meat had a off taste and no seasonings once so ever. Took one bite and my stomach turned. I tried the rice and beans and they also had no flavor. Not even a hint of salt or anything. The portion and price would of been good if the food was edible but i ended up donating it to the homeless and buying dinner elsewhere. I will not be returning. read more

Not bad.... tacos are good Somehow the shells are smaller than the conventional taco shells.. even in Mexico the shells are bigger... I do enjoy cheese with my refried beans... this was missing Sauce is good.. mild and hot provided Service was excellent Portions are mediocre... Overall it was all right... read more

Taqueria Santa Cruz - Taco - Mexican Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

When traveling, it's hard to find a taco joint that makes Mexican food the way you're accustomed to. I've been to a few outside San Diego, and though each place was good, it wasn't "sketchy-taco-shop" good. This place does not look questionable, but the food definitely is close to what I get at home. I had a carne asada burrito. The meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I definitely liked the combo of bean, cheese, and rice. On top of that, great customer service. If you're from CA looking for a burrito that is up to par with what you're used to, this is your place! read more

All the food was good. The shrimp tostada was amazing! Food came out fast and service was great!

Love this little place! Very authentic homemade food at good prices. Very basic surroundings that make me feel like I'm home. It's my new go to place for good food. The lady who helped me and made my food was very friendly. The habanero sauce is really hot, I loved the green sauce also, check this place out you won't be disappointed! read more

Food was pretty good but suffering through the 700 Club during our meal was excruciating.

Pastor tacos really good. Kind of small for two bucks but taste is delicious. The general look and decor itself lacks professionalism. Looks like someone's kids made a shit ton of signs and stick them up all over. Like they are trying to advertise something they have ( deep fried ice cream for example) but it looks like a kids coloring contest everywhere only no coloring. Just saying. I am not sure how clean it makes it feel, looks ummm, well junky. read more

Best Mexican food around! The quality and taste is always great and the flavors have been consistent over the years. Delicious food, great service, and amazing prices! read more

Flavorful, great portions, quality ingredients. Great hot sauces. Steak burrito was tender and tortilla was soft. Huge breakfast burritos. read more

I couldn't decide what kind of tacos I wanted so I got 3 different kinds! $1.50 each, and some of the best tacos I've ever had! Plenty full of meat and the cilantro was super fresh! My husband had the burrito supreme, and it was huge!! Lots of meat, very well done! This place will when no atmosphere awards. Very plain and basic, hole in the wall kind of place with poster boards in the windows. Don't let the facade fool you! Well worth your time!! read more

The people who post 1 star reviews are definitely being paid or work for the other trash bin taco shops in Gresham because this place is the bomb! I've tried many things from their menu and my favorite by far is the al pastor burrito supreme. I've been to 100+ Mexican restaurants over the course of my life and I've never had a better burrito. read more

Amaze balls. The tacos are simple but delish. I recommend getting a sampler of different meats. Also their horchata is a touch on the sweet side, but recommended with your tacos. read more

Taqueria Santa Cruz - Amazing tacos. Great price and the lady is so nice! - Mexican Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Haven't written a review for years but this place made me do it. Hole in the wall place. I work a quarter mile away and none of my coworkers know it's here. Been here twice in two weeks. Friendly staff, authentic Mexican food. Majority of staff and patrons are fluent in Spanish so you know it must be true to form! Had a burrito both times. Good portion. Reasonable price, and delicious. Salsas are amazing but definitely spicier than your average. I go for spicy all the time and the red salsa made me sweat. I will keep coming back here. My only complaint is they don't have horchata on the menu! read more

We are taco stand fans..... and have one we really love right in our hometown, so those we try travelling often do not measure up and we are disappointed. This one caught our eye on Yelp as we were driving from home to Bend, OR and we decided to give it a try. Sitting in a strip mall atmosphere I didn't have really high hopes, but was pleasantly surprised! Not a truck, you order at a counter and they do have some seating. We took our order to go and ate it in the camper. Tacos were VERY tasty! Very good sized and the meat was very flavorful. It was really inexpensive too which is a bonus. Do not be mislead by the exterior..... great food here - give it a try! read more
