Azteca Mexican Restaurants Portland

Absolutely amazing mexican place in Portland. Love their delicious tacos and bowls and not to mention their margaritas. We ordered the carnitas, pescado, spicy chicken (special), barbacoa camarones tacos with their bryans bowl. Omg everything we ordered was divine and we devoured our meal in no time. The bryans bowl was mind blowing. It all tasted so fresh and delicious. Their salsas are great too. The green and red sauce on each table elevates the flavors to the next level when added to any dish taco or bowl. Their margaritas the pomegranate one was refreshing and tasty and the others tasted divine too. They have huge indoor and outdoor seating. They can accommodate big groups and there is ample seating at this place. There can be a huge line to place your order during peak hours but the food comes out pretty quick. Highly recommend this spot in Portland.

Tasty, creative tacos but quite expensive. Some are almost double your average taco cart at 5.50, and they're the same size. However they have many other creative tacos that you can't find at most other carts. I tried 4: a crispy fish taco, pollo verde, a Veggie Taco and one of their specials; the Pollo adobo. The special was by far the tastiest, very flavorfully spiced tender chicken. The fish was good too, nice crispy breading. The pollo verde was pretty bland, just plain shredded chicken with some verde (should've known from the name). The queso asado was a fried cheese log with a poblano pepper strip, like a mozzarella stick taco basically. Tasty but definitely needs hot sauce. Pretty cool spot, lots of creative tacos, especially for veggie options. Too expensive for me to go out of my way to come here for tacos when there are 12 cheaper places I can walk to, but one of the best taco places for vegetarians I've been to.

Stopped in for quick lunch with friends. The street tacos, chips, salsa and guac, and guava Aqua fresca hit the spot. Love that the Hawthorne location has parking and plenty of indoor and outdoor (covered and uncovered)seating. The service is knowledgeable and friendly and the atmosphere is funky and fun. Street tacos are near $5/each and the chips, guac and salsa is $11. Not cheap but the food is great snd flavors well thought through and balanced.

Por qué no? Cause it's kinda meh. It's a very very cute place. We went upstairs and we were the only people there. The tacos came with just one tortilla (what!!?? So of course they weren't easy to eat as they ripped. There's no fresh salsa the salsa tastes like from a jar, not spicy, not acidic. This place was very underwhelming as far as the food goes. The space was, however, very nice and pleasant.

Well thought out, balanced blend of ingredients creating all of the most delicious tacos. There was a line to order, but that just shows how sought after their food is. Plenty of drink options. Something for everyone. The outdoor space is so cute, and the service was great. I would definitely come back.
