Pretty tasty shrimp tacos
by Brook Shelley
Pollo Asade tacos are great. Probably the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to.
by Vincent Tang
Bryan's Bowl, chips, guac, and plenty of salsa. Do it. Also, don't stress over seating. It's always packed, but you always seem to land somewhere. Try the back if you get nervous.
by Nate Swanner
No! No! Gross! They put CLOVE in the barbacoa! I couldn't even eat their disgusting overpriced tacos with only one sad corn tortilla. Drive just a little farther to Robo Taco instead.
by Raven
Tacos! Tacos! Tacos!
by Scott M.

by crystal l.
Fun decor-felt like I was on a tropical island. Great carnitas and al pastor. If tamales are a special, order them.

Outdoor sitting in summer makes you feel like you're in a city in Mexico, enjoying good tacos. Order the tacos!!

The bowl is so delicious! Choose chips or a tortilla for your side

by Samantha D
Yum! Authentic, fun decor and delicioso food. A bit on the far end of Hawthorne though.
by Rachel E.
Tacos/Mexican. I'm not a fan, but I also don't like Mexican food. Everyone else loves it. The line down the street proves it. Everyone loves "Brian's Bowl".
by GNTLMN
LUNCH: Porque Salad with grilled chicken. DINNER: Brian's Bowl w. Grilled chicken and chips (oh gods, the chips!)

The fish tacos are perfect!

Bryan's Bowl is the way to go. Only comes with three small tortillas, tho, so I order three extra. Don't be put off by the line. It typically moves fast.

Chips are made in house and rock. Guacamole is legend status.
by dj clint kuper
Get Bryan's bowl - a huge portion of goodness all for just $6.50. Be ready to wait in line. Tacos range from $2 - $4, and they even have a taco punch card so you can get a free one eventually.
by Cheapism
Was not impressed with the fish taco, at all. Only one beer on draft, which is not good for Portlanders. I'll try this place one more time. The staff was friendly. Trying to get a seat during dinnerti
