    Mole negro enchiladas
    Sean R.

    Pretty good mole but a tad too sweet for me (like most places I've tried to be fair tho). I wanted to try all 3 moles on their combo plate but they were out of some things so we just got the mole negro enchiladas w/ chicken. They were stuffed quite fat & meaty, but weren't folded up so were more just like baked tacos. Tried some tacos as well - asada, pastor & chipotle pulled pork which were good but nothing really standout to me. They were stuffed very fat tho which I always appreciate & the tortillas were good. If I was in the area I may stop by to try their other moles.

    One of the best street tacos and the Mexican pizza (Tlayuda) is unique and delicious. They have an amazing mushroom burrito that's often a special. Great for lunch or dinner while sipping a beer or seltzer at ArborLook food carts.

    Great burritos with amazing meats and salsa. Tried the nachos today and they were... dressed up and interesting. Everything on it was good but the strips of chips were not the greatest vessel..

    Best street tacos, best burritos, best mole, best Mexican food anywhere in Portland. I know this is a bold statement and I stand by it. Manny, the owner, has been cooking and running this truck for many years. His food is layered with flavor, the prep he puts into every dish is restaurant quality. His chipolte pork, carnitas and pastor are from pork shoulder, marinated, cooked long and slow then crisped on the grill. He puts time and love into everything he makes. While other Mexican carts limit the offerings, he has many items that others don't offer because they are labor intensive. His rich, dark, mole is so delicious and addicting, I promise you will love it and wished he bottled it! Everyday he does specials and I encourage you to follow them on Instagram to see what the day's offering is. You don't want to miss the Chile Rellenos that are cooked to perfection! Tehuana Oaxacan started out in a food pod on NE Killingsworth. During Covid, the food pod shut down and Tehuana Oaxacan moved to NW 23rd Place, then NE MLK then SE Division as food courts opened and closed making it hard to find them for loyal customers like me. Happily I found them again in a food cart pod called Arborlock on N Greeley near NE Ainsworth. Back in their old neighborhood, they plan on staying here. Since it had been awhile, I had to get the chipolte pork tacos, the flavor is so fantastic that it's hard for me to order any other protein for the tacos! The yellow corn tortillas are now made by Three Sisters and provide ample room for lots of meat filling then topped with chopped onion and cilantro. Served with grilled jalapeño and onions on the side and sliced radish, they are legit. Typically I can only eat two since they are substantial.. Also got a carnitas burrito to go which for me is 2 meals. Manny is hard working, friendly, kind, and has built a loyal following because his food is high quality and he also serves large portions. The cart is in the back of the pod. There is a covered seating area with lots of tables and this pod also has portable bathrooms. Definitely seek them out, it's worth it! Once you experience his food, you will become a regular.

    This is a food cart at the Bottles and Cans bottle shop. This is a delicious spot and they didn't have a yelp so I added it as it deserves to be on here. Delicious tacos! Extremely generous portions of meat and everything was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection! We also ordered a bacon burrito which they normally only do for breakfast but made an exception. I seriously want these tacos every day now! So good!!

    Taco al pastor. The absolute best.

    I don't even know where to begin, the food here is just so damn good. And I feel really stupid, because I'm from LA and was suspicious of Mexican food this far north. I was wrong, I am dumb, let's move on. Mole Enchiladas were delicious, and had a bit more of a kick than I'm used to. Humongous portion, like you would get in a sit-down restaurant. I saw another reviewer waxing poetic about the mole and...yeah, I get it now. The Tacos al Pastor were literally the best I've ever had. Tangy, sweet, earthy. Jeez. This place is no joke. Oh, and did I mention they make their own tortillas? They make their own tortillas. I'm going to have to tell all my friends in Southern California that I had some of the best Mexican food ever in Oregon. They're going to look at me funny. And then I'm going to have to bring them here.

    I had really given up hope of having a burrito in Portland that I would crave. (After 20+ years of access to the Mission, SF, I was spoiled.) THIS is a cravable burrito! We had the Cchipotle pork and the pastor. Wow! Every element in the burrito had flavor, and the meat was outstanding. We will be back.

    Inside the heart of the new food truck area in Slabtown, is this perfect authentic Mexican food truck. The chef/cashier stayed open late for us, along with a whole line that showed up just before closing, so that was super appreciated and noticed! He cooked us up some great tacos, that at first I felt like were overpriced, but once I saw the serving size, was very content. HEAVY MEAT! Very filling! The sauces are great, but BEWARE on that red sauce, because it is SPIIIIIIICY. Don't get me wrong, I love spice, but that's got some habanero kick for sure. A light drizzle is advised!

    Prices are a little high but the amount of food is above average. The flavors combine well and can't beat Oaxacan cheese.

Both the fish and the prawns were cooked in a red sauce that was delicious! I meant to ask for blue corn tortillas but was so excited to find shrimp & fish tacos that weren't deep-fried that I forgot to ask for them. The regular corn tortillas were excellent, though, so it was not a bad mistake to make. I also had jamaica to drink and let me tell you... it was not made from a mix! It was dark, thirst-quenching, and perfectly made. Most jamaica is super sweet - this was not! I love the flavor of real hibiscus and this did not disappoint. My friends had chile relleno bowls and birria tacos, all of which was excellent. Their watermelon margaritas were tasty and refreshing! Our orders were taken by a helpful person at the cash register and the food was served quickly by a friendly server. The inside and outside areas were clean and tidy, with plenty of seating available at the outside tables. The outdoor seating area is under cover making it a good choice for both summer & winter dining. Definitely going on my "have to go back and try something else" list!

It is the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable settling into. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind, and the service was genuinely great throughout. We ordered the Quekas with vegan chorizo and black beans and they were SO good, honestly a standout. The chips and guac were also a hit, and I loved that the guac was actually cold. Such a small detail that makes a big difference. The Citrus Salad was super fresh, crisp, and delicious, which balanced everything out perfectly. I also tried the NA classic margarita and it was so refreshing. I loved the subtle touch of orange juice. Overall, such a lovely spot with amazing food, great vibes, and thoughtful details. I will definitely be back!

Today my wife and I enjoyed scrumptious Tacotes, one chicken and one Bok Choy with house made salsa. Also, the Tetela de Requeson, maiz, beans and sprouting broccoli with a house made requeson - kind of like ricotta cheese - very beautifully plated and so delicious. Extra side of yummy and creamy black bean frijoles with sour cream, butter, tortillas. Instead of desert, the Mezcal, chile and lime was refreshing. Right now open for lunch Thursday through Sunday 10-3pm. No fixed menu, changes with what's fresh - the way chef Angel loves to cook respecting what is in season. Service and ambiance is friendly and knowledgeable about the food and its origin - another reason I love dining here so I learn about what I'm eating and how it was inspired. Yes, the food plated looks so good, I am inspired to dig in. There's a reason it was recognized early in its start by Eater, Portland Monthly and the Oregonian as one of the best restaurants in the city because foodies seek out and love to go where the food experience is special - especially the chef tasting menus in the past. Now I'm watchful and ready to go back and see what the chef Angel is serving up. What else is so special is Republica was a James Beard award nominee too!

Staff was welcoming, friendly, helpful and attentive. I read reviews about their complimentary chips, salsa and bean dip. We asked for the bean dip, but we found out when we received our bill that it's not complimentary anymore. Bummer. It was good, but not worth the extra $5. They were extremely generous with their chips and salsa, so in the end we were okay paying the extra $5. We ordered the chicken quesadilla and charbroiled burger. Both were great! Fresh ingredients. The quesadilla wasn't greasy at all. Neither were the chips! Our server recommended the pollo asada for my quesadilla and it was much appreciated.
