Beto's Taqueria — Restaurant in Portland

There was a small line and it disappeared and reappeared instantly. This place has EFFICIENT service. It seems like all the businesses nearby frequent the place because you can SMELL THE AMAZING FRESH FOOD AS YOU WALK UP. We got 2 asada burritos with different beans and his with no sour cream and they're enormous. If I wasn't a fan of leftover burrito we could have split it. No! I made it into a movie day. The burritos are enormous and filling and delicious. A regular came by and insisted the shrimp and fish tacos are well worth the cost ($5) versus $3. They have a single charge for choice of meat and an upcharge only for fish/shrimp/pescado/camerones so I see people mix and match their taco choices. The plates are appealing cause you can build it yourself but I didn't go with that since it's a cart and I was doing takeout in the car not setting up a picnic. The price was really good and this really matters as burritos go and for the plates. Their salsa was also really good; I prefer the verde. Apparently the place next door associated with them that is brick and morter serves tamales so I will be going back to...

OK people. I must give credit where credit is due. First I'll describe the food, and second I'll describe the staff.

My wife and I had given up on finding a decent taco in Portland. UNTIL NOW! We are truly blessed to find this spot walking distance from our place in St John's, because these are the best tacos I've yet found in Portland. Particularly the pastor, must have, and the asada, great crispiness. I got 5 and was super satisfied, but just ordered 5 to go for lunch tomorrow. I will bring my friends here, and I will be eating here at least once a week.

I found the staff to be very sweet, real, and humble. After blowing my mind, I asked them all, "are these the best tacos in Portland?" and, "do you know a better taco on Portland?", and they didn't flaunt their mad skill. They said, "I don't know 🙂". When I asked what made these so much better than the rest around, the owner shrugged and said, "I think it's because we cook the meat fresh. I love to cook." 😍🌮🥰🌮

OK OK, I'll stop there. If anyone votes this place less than 5 stars,...

I've been going to Beto's for years and every single time they deliver the best vegan burrito in town - and yes, I have had them all. But what really prompted me to get around to writing a review of Portland's best taqueria was their catering. Beto's catered our wedding this past weekend and they knocked it out of the park, serving an amazing taco buffet with every possible fixing and side for over 100 guests - flawlessly executed, flavor and presentation spot on, in a unique setting, for a very reasonable price. The majority of our guests were voracious meat eaters, and despite the fact that we had Beto's do a totally vegan menu, every single guest was blown away by everything and all went back for seconds (and in some cases, thirds). That's how good Beto's can make a soycurl and everything that goes...
