Love the Brian's bowls and porque salad. Perfect place to sit outside and drink a margarita. Many naturally gluten free options. One of my favorite restaurants in Portland.
A weekly favorite. The carne asada is amazing. Taco Tuesday is happy hour from 3 till close and the margaritas are a way to wind down after a rough day. The Mississippi location is a tad smaller fyi
Stuart CoatesMay 15, 2015Surely the most hyped Mexican restaurant in the city. Whether it's worth the wait is up to you and the group you're hopefully going with. Did someone say tacos?
Ashley RoseAugust 31, 2018Casual, order at the counter taco shop with happy hour 3-6pm. Margaritas served in pint glasses and shrimp taco’s must not be missed.
David KernJuly 9, 2014Some of the best tacos I've ever had. Meat was flavorful and fresh. Veggies and homemade salsas were delish. Wish I could eat there everyday!
Bryan's Bowl with shrimp is the perfect post-run meal. Don't over look the taco special. Summer Veggie or Winter Veggie is always amazing.
My faves: calamari and carnitas tacos, Bryan's Bowl, tamale plate (check for board for today's choices), the chips and guacamole, the simple salad. They also usually offer a yummy homemade soup.
Celia HungerfordJanuary 4, 2013my favorite order is jamaica margaritas, pollo verde tacos & a side of beans. if im really hungry, chips & guacamole which is phenomenal also. i love that they're on supportland!
Brook ShelleyAugust 23, 2014The sangria is delicious, the habanero sauce spicy and yum, and the carnitas and camaronés pretty damn good. I'm a happy austin expat
Joey JAugust 28, 2015Some of the best tacos I've ever had. Try the Pescado, Chorizo, Pollo Asado, Carne Asada, or Camarones. Get a Margarita too, obviously. Can't go wrong on Miss St.
Pretty much everything is fantastic here. Two or three tacos are perfect, as is the Brian's Bowl. I love a small simple salad and a veg taco.
Caroline OsseOctober 23, 2014Best tacos I've ever had, and the cutest and coziest place. Get chorizo tacos! (Excellent horchata, too)
CRUZiiiEFebruary 19, 2016This place was so hyped, I expected the GREATEST tacos everrr! The steak was tough. Otherwise good, but not the best and far from traditional. You're here mostly for the experience and fun combos.
Max Blue 🚴🍔November 21, 2014You are in taco heaven after at least 4 different tacos here. Be sure to try the calamaris one.
AvaJune 30, 2015veggie tacos were great as was the peach agua fresca (like literally biting into a peach)
LucyAugust 10, 2013Super fresh and authentic Mexican good. Get a deliciously smooth Horchata to wash down the sweet R&B tunes.
Travel + LeisureJune 5, 2014Por Qué serves the famous ‘Bryan’s bowl’ (meat or vegetables, rice, beans, guacamole, and queso fresco).- Lauren DocktorNovember 2, 2020Definitely get the carnitas and barbacoa tacos. Also, they have 2 drink maximum but their margaritas don't disappoint (and are huge).
Corri GoatesJuly 28, 2013Great for people with difficult dietary options- for a super tasty veg/GF option try the Bryan's Bowl.
Ryan KApril 13, 2017Tacos are soooo good. Every variety is delicious, and not at all greasy, but my favorites are al pastor and barbacoa.- Travel + LeisureJune 5, 2014Por Qué No serves the famous ‘Bryan’s bowl’ (meat or vegetables, rice, beans, guacamole, and queso fresco).
Rahul SenAugust 13, 2013Average human = 4 tacos. Hungry human = 6 tacos. Get anything with fish or shrimp!
J TAugust 21, 2017Almost everything is good here. Don't miss the tacos, chips and guacamole and salsa, and the giant margaritas.
Josh EstelleApril 20, 2018Veggie tacos are yummy, but if your vegetarian, get some beans on the side for some protein.
There rice and beans remind me of Southern California. Best Mexican food in the Northwest.
UnknownJune 29, 2017Barbacoa tacos are the way to go. Carnitas, chorizo. Al pastor are average, but batbacia is awesome.
Chava BoyettSeptember 26, 2010Por Que No Plate Pollo Verde is the perfect, well rounded meal. Salad, tortillas w/ fixins and rice & beans. The salad dressing is addictive too.
Tacos are great as are the chips. I’m in love with the barbacoa taco. No, really I am.
- Sara RobinsonOctober 12, 2011Carnitas tacos, house-made chips and guac, and specialty margaritas! Intimate spot and best tacos EVER!!
Travis RamseyMay 5, 2015For one of the highest rated mexican places in portland this is certainly not up to my standards compared to San Diego, New York, or San Francisco.
Jake DoranJanuary 18, 2010Tacos, Tacos, Tacos. You can't go wrong with any of the taco options on the menu, but the seafood ones are probably the best decision, especially the calamari taco.
Amy Johnson CookJune 28, 2017Check out the specials, but really can't go wrong and the margaritas are great.
Enrique Gutiérrez ArzateJuly 29, 2017This place is tasty and its a very good tribute to Mexican culture. Bit expensive though.
- Stuart MillerMay 25, 2017Tacos, tacos, tacos! The adobo special is especially good, but be prepared to wait in line.
Ashley TidwellSeptember 3, 2012Best chips and salsa in town!!! (and everything else is super yummy too!!)
Deb Pang DavisMay 16, 2011Bryan's bowl with grilled chicken. If you can't sit outside, sit toward the front or at the bar so you can people-watch :) Read more
Paula CaudillApril 14, 2013The Rock Shrimp Ceviche with hose made tortilla chips is awesome. *Special
