Carlos Birrieria Cesar Chavez — Restaurant in Portland

I ordered through the online ordering site that they have linked via their website. I ordered 2 orders of 3 quesabirria tacos that includes consome that totals to $16.99 each. A single quesabirria costs $4.75. That is the total both in person and online. When you multiply $4.75 by 3 you get $14.25. So tell me why when i went back to get my consome that i thought they forgot, they tell me that the 3 quesabirria order doesn’t come with consome and that the extra charge is for the little sauces? Okay so why is it $16.99 online? They they told me that the online systems charges you for the convenience which is correct but it is a separate charge that is added on top of the charges. Not an extra $2.74 for only that one item on the menu. I tried to tell them that it should get fixed if they don’t want to do the “deal” that is clearly listed on the order site.. If you want to come in person and try their tacos I say go for it. They are fantastic but their ordering site will screw you out of your money. Thankfully i got my consume but i was told that they won’t do it again 🙄

Buy their tacos, stay away from ordering it online though. Not worth the hassle…

To the owners, please just fix the online order site or just take it down if you can’t. Thank you.

This cart rocks. The birria is tender and very flavorful. It's a great touch they give you onions lime and cilantro on the side with the quesabirria because it really makes the flavor pop (but I know not everyone enjoys onions/cilantro).

I also ordered a chorizo burrito before realizing chorizo wasn't listed on the menu! The worker didn't even mention it (I noticed after paying) but ended up whipping up a fantastic chorizo burrito anyways. Good soft tortilla, and generous servings of rice, pico, sour cream and cilantro.

Also got to shout-out the salsas: Green salsa was super fresh, added a lot to the burrito. It's a little chunkier than the processed stuff you usually see from chain locations Red salsa was FANTASTIC. Different flavor than I was expecting but it tastes great and kicks hard in a good way. You don't need to drown your food in this stuff, it brings the heat but doesn't ruin your day.

Great location to walk to locally and they have some nice shaded picnic tables if you want...

I've been meaning to go here for awhile because I always smell it on my 7-11 runs and it smells amazing. I got the birria burrito and it was so good I regret that I took so long to try it. I ended up eating my leftovers for lunch the next day and had to fight off my coworkers. The consomé was perfect just spooned on top of each bite (I know I'm supposed to dip it, I'm a birria newbie). The owner also recommended the melon agua fresca and it was a surprise hit - it was refreshing and the perfect amount of sweet. I can't wait to return and I look forward to...
