So weird I never had a review here. I've tried them so many times from when they were in that food cart pod on the waterfront to the Zipper and back. This is now my most convenient spot. I was initially drawn to them by their fresh tortillas. Though tonight they seemed a little different. I love their fillings and their salsa and pickled vegetable optional. Love me some escabeche with my tacos, though theirs didn't have any carrots. read more

My review might be a bit skewed because I stopped in here in between Hood to Coast legs. But it was fast and filling! There wasn't a line but they came highly recommended. There is just street parking and the inside is kinda small. I ordered the asada burrito and let me tell you it was worth every penny. It was bigger than what I had expected and the flavor was on point. The only downside was on that particular day their mild salsa was too spicy for me. I was with a big group and a lot of food was ordered. Everyone loved everything they got and we had plenty of leftovers. read more

Their asada taco sooo good. The taco platter was great amount of food for the price. The vibe was cool and they played good music. Server was friendly as well. Definitely coming back when in the area. read more

Awesome takeout platter for a group! Love their tacos, especially the bierra tacos! Everytime we've eaten here it never disappoints!

First time having quesatacos! Everything was so delicious and fresh! I loved the esquites too. I got chicken in my tacos and i loved how crunchy and delicious they were. Can't wait to come back! read more

Very good like the other tight taco a couple of miles north. I still like the braised beef and carnitas tacos. Plus like their chips which might be homemade. This location isn't shared with other restaurants so more Mexican themed. They had fresh juices that I'll have to try another time. Yelp check-in had one free taco the last time I went, thank you! read more

The birria tacos are delicious. Tons of flavor and toppings. Really chill environment and the orange hot sauce is the best sauce I've ever had. Highly recommend. read more

Best. Tacos. Ever. Quesatacos are a revelation and I'm thinking of relocating to Portland to be near these. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the location was cheerful, clean and whimsical. I will be back! read more

We hit Cats Paw and got Uber Eats Tight Tacos. The best surprise I have ever had. I could have crushed a dozen. Tortillas fresh. Meat perfect. Picadillo for the win all day. Chicken was legit too. The red sauce? Homemade and delicious. Totally will do this again. Thank you Taco Gods!!!! read more

It's a great spot for a snack. They have a variety of items to choose from. We had some tacos, quesataco, and nachos. The tacos had a healthy portion of protein, and the nachos were amazing! They make their chips fresh, and all the ingredients on the nachos are great, especially the cheese sauce. read more

If you are into Americanized Mexican food which I am once in a while. I am all about the zipper nachos! I usually order delivery, but have gone in for counter service and their staff can be down right rude! I do like both location, but prefer the zipper as the division location is where we had poor service. The zipper is so cool and you can grab a drink at the bar there. Plus if someone in your party isn't feeling Mexican food there are many other choices! read more

The Quesataco was amazing! I got one with braised beef and the consome side and it was so good. I also got a regular pollo taco and it was mediocre, seemed like the tortilla was not cooked very well and a little too thick. The chicken was pretty dry too. Overall I would go back for the quesataco as it was amazing! read more

Ordered the nachos without onions and cilantro. Still came with onions and cilantro. There needs to be better communication with the kitchen because about 10% of the population, which I am included, makes cilantro taste like soap. read more

Tight Tacos was just across the street from our Air bnb. It's was in walking distance and the perfect location for lunch or dinner! The food was fresh and was so delicious! I had a taco with pollo and the highly recommended quesataco with asada. The cheese fried and melted inside was just dreamy!! The guacamole (not shown) was so good, it was refreshing and had just the right amount of onions and lime juice! The staff were so helpful and their recommendations were a hit! The restaurant is so clean and the atmosphere is fun and inviting. read more

Tried this place out for the first time. I ordered there nachos with double the toppings and a quesabirria taco. Both were delicious but the nachos were my thing. I ordered two drinks a margarita and an horchata. But they forgot to bring me my horchata and I got so consumed in conversation with my friends I forgot to asked them about it. You can either sit at the table and scan a QR code to order your food or you can order it at the front. read more

Yummmyyyy tacos!!! I got the soyrizo and just yes! The flavor was there and the portion was pretty great. It's a cute concept place too hahah, and the tacos come with a few tortilla chips - a nice touch I must say. I especially loved the condiment bar and the servers were helpful and lovely. The ambiance was casual! I would definitely return to get more tacos! read more

Finally got to try this spot after a long run day so I was starved. Did some division street exploring with Eric. Got the Hellarito since I read rave reviews (with al pastor) but I was sadly disappointed. The burrito hurt my tummy bad. And it just tasted salty. It's unfortunate to compare every burrito to my favorite trailbreak burrito, but this one fell short read more

Either they messed up my order of a pollo burrito by serving me a bean an cheese burrito or they sprinkled a few shreds of chicken in there to make it official. Either way, worst pollo burrito this year! read more

The burrito was amazing! Amazing flavor, I got the veggies which was delish. I typically choose not to get veggies because it has things I don't like/can't eat. I am vegetarian and I love this place! I wish they were somewhere safer/over the river, but no complaints. read more

First time here! The burrito was so flavorful. The location is small On the inside but the vibe was chill. Loved the music. The staff was really nice and answered all of our questions.

Today's sunny weather called for outdoor dining on Division! We tried this spot for the first time today and it hit the spot. To start, we had Micheladas in their giant styrofoam cups - they are very generous with their pours! Our chips were perfectly salty and the salsa tasted very fresh. For our taco entrees, we selected chicken, birria and carnitas as our choices of protein. The tacos were a bit dry and the meat was slightly bland but their fully stocked salsa bar helped add some more flavor! The service was super quick and the cashier was friendly. All in all, we really enjoyed our meal and we highly recommend trying out their Micheladas!! read more

Talk about a meaty taco! You get your money's worth here on their street tacos! Each taco is priced at $4 or you can choose from their other options on their menu. But this review is mainly for their street taco. Other than the overload on filling, their generosity for cilantro and onion are phenomenal. If you obviously don't favor that, you can always ask it on the side. But they do load up! The carne asada wasn't dry and full of flavor. Cut up to small pieces for you to enjoy every bite. The birrira is so soft and juicy, paired with the consome and bam! Their el pastor is paired with a few pineapple pieces that just enhances the flavor of the pork. So good! Definitely one of my top taco places. A few downsides: if you're coming for dinner, come before 8 ish or it's take out only and no alcoholic drinks- they have a few outdoor seating if you're lucky. Street parking can be hard to find. No downsides to the service or food though! read more

DELICIOUS! I like to get the zipper nachos with the chips on the side (do it!!!) it's fantastic! Then if you don't finish your food you CAN save it! I never finish, it's a large portion. They offer Topo Chico among other drinks. I have had the tacos, but definitely prefer the nachos. They have indoor seating, not great parking of course... read more

Congratulations, Tight Tacos! You were the final straw for me for shitty delivery meals. I will never use a third-party app for delivery ever again. I was absolutely starving after an extremely long day, and Tight Tacos made sure to say "Fuck you" to me with the awful packaging of their food. If you enjoy gross ice cold tacos and chip and nacho cheese soup, this is your spot. read more

Came for a late night snack with beer at Growlers Taproom, also one of the few places open late in Portland. Great little pod with a fire pit and lights strung up making it super cozy. Ordered the nachos with al pastor to share. The nachos are $10, but the portions was surprisingly large! There is so much colour and freshness that catches your eyes, as the top is covered with cilantro, pickled red onions, diced onions, sour cream, jalapeños and avocado creama. Underneath is the delicious al pastor, cheese sauce and crispy tortilla chips. Warning Alert: these nachos are messy and best eaten with a fork! Topped it with some housemade salsa - there was a red roasted chilli and green creamy one, both were delicious and had a good kick! The nachos were delicious and paired so well with a beer. Definitely a must order if you're in the neighbourhood and looking for a cool place to hang out. read more

Delicious, colorful, and plenty of food for the money! Went to Tight Tacos for dinner one evening and were greeted with a smile and they hustled to get our order to us. It was a rainy evening, but we sat outside around the fire pit, which they came and turned on as it was getting chilly. Had that seating been taken, we'd have gone inside the Growlers building. That's where you go to get cups of water too, btw. We each ordered 2 tacos, and they served all 4 of them on one plate, which sure looks pretty, but makes it tough to eat when 2 people are sharing a plate of messy food. We got a second plate to make it easier. I loved the pickled onions as they added a bright note. Handmade tortillas were tasty but filling - I ended up just eating the meat off my 2nd taco. We tried 4 different meats but both liked the al pastor the best. So much flavor! I got some chips and salsa too - tasty salsa for sure! Our friends got tacos and a Keto bowl and enjoyed both. Definitely a plus on my taco list! read more

Tight tacos is incredibly tasty but this review is for delivery. Unfortunately nearly every time I've ordered delivery the order has been wrong. The Sandy location has never given me chips (when I pay for 2 bags). Other items have been missing like onions, cilantro, etc. Division location was closer to my actual order but missed the guac (that I paid for). There is no way I can find to contact either location. I wish I could depend on delivery because we love this food and spend a lot when we order (we get the family kit). read more

Came for the tacos, left with a $1k hospital bill because of the super dangerous concrete step they have right in their front entrance. I got a second degree sprain tripping on it last summer that resulted in an emergency room visit, 8 weeks in a boot, and months of recovery. One year later, I'm still not back to 100% and can't walk long distances without some degree of soreness. read more

The PDX Eater has a great list of 14 Gargantuan, Stuffed Burritos in Portland. I've been slowly eating my way through the list and this is the 3rd restaurant that I've tried. The list has not led me wrong so far! They recommended getting the hellarito with Al pastor and that is what I got. I also got an horchata to go. There was a salsa bar with squeeze bottles of red and green salsa. There was also pickled jalapeños too. My burrito was delicious. It was so big that I had to take some of it home. The potato's, meat, and nacho cheese hit for me. I only used the green salsa and it added some good flavor to the burrito. The horchata was average. The staff working were friendly too. I enjoyed my burrito but I need to come back and try the tacos! read more

This eatery isn't open often (maybe runs out of food?) But when it is, you better get your face in here! Had no idea what to expect when ordering a Keto bowl with braised beef and was blown away! shared with the rest of the table!! Delicious!! The street tacos ordered by my compadres, were generous with meat and full of flavor! We'll definitely be back!! Thank you Tight Tacos read more

Inconsistent at best and nasty at worst, this place is a ripoff and has left me simmering with disappointment and frustration more than once. Tonight, the burrito was bordering on gross. The tortilla had been folded in such a way that most of the filling was more tortilla-- a seven-layer cake of flour. It was supposed to be Al Pastor but I was left with crispy bits of pig fat and little else. The guac I payed extra for was non-existent. Need I go on? When I unwrapped the foil it was a soggy, oily mess. Clearly, whoever made this was too deep in their phone or nose or worse to care about what they were doing. Sometimes, the burrito from this place is very good, but again, it's totally inconsistent, and I'm unwilling to gamble nearly twenty dollars every time I order from here. Whoever is running this place has given up, doesn't care, or doesn't know what they're doing. Good luck trying to reach someone by phone to address the slop they served you. The only thing tight is going to be your distended intestine after consuming this wreck. read more

Really fun restaurant in this area of Portland! I thought their tacos were so yummy. Lots of flavor. I wouldn't call this your traditional taco place (ex. my pastor taco had pineapples on it) but it's a fun spot to try. I liked their tacos more than their burritos. Their burritos came with a queso sauce that felt too heavy, I would ask for little or no queso next time! And best part - when you check in, you get a free taco! read more

Food is good. Unfortunately, they no longer care about people with gluten allergies. Been coming here for a couple years ordering a quesadilla on corn tortillas. A new manager a few months ago says it's not possible to do that. Why not? Per the manager, seems like it'll confuse them in the kitchen. I can order a taco which comes on a corn tortilla, add cheese and hold the meat, but call that a quesadilla and they're suddenly lost? I'll be the first to admit that it's not a common request, but you've got all the parts, to say you can't do it. Go to Ole Ole on Burnside. Carnitas are great, better prices read more

Where do I begin with my love for the place...but just prepared the quoted pick time is often wrong as it's small kitchen they get backed up quickly with walk in orders and online orders plus all the delivery apps. read more

Do you want to chill? Order up chips & guac, a blended hellarita, and the giant hellarito, and sit curbside in the summer. My go-to is shrimp, but I also enjoy the carne asada. We also enjoy the seasonal veg bowl as a vegetarian option. Plus margs to go!!! read more
