Nayar Taqueria

Nayar is a fantastic Mexican restaurant. My wife and I came here, since it was a couple of blocks from my mother-in-law's. We came back the next two days, and my wife came two more times when she visited with her brothers a couple of weeks later. I was blown away by the mole chicken the first time we went, and that's been a Mexican favorite of mine for... well, decades. Gettin' old, yup. Birria tacos, carnitas burrito, and many other dishes ordered, all fantastic. My wife is 1/4 Mexican, and she and her brothers are tough judges. They loved it as did I . I'm not sayin' I didn't really look forward to visiting my mother-in-law before, but Nayar definitely helps. Deee-licious!!

I visited Nayar Taqueria for a late lunch. I got horchata and an asada burrito. The horchata was good. The burrito was delicious. I especially liked the fresh avocado in the burrito. Both salsas provided in bottles on the table were delicious but not spicy enough. Overall, I would recommend visiting them for some great Mexican food.

This was me and my friend's first meal out during our first time visiting Portland, and I wish we could've eaten here every night of the week.The food at Nayar Taqueria surpassed all expectations. Each dish was meticulously prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The menu offered a diverse range of options, catering to various dietary preferences, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy.The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff members who went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations.The ambiance of the restaurant was also noteworthy. The decor was fun and eclectic, and the colorful lighting made dining at night especially enjoyable.

I gave this place two stars for a few reasons...1. The food was good but not great and with so many great choices in Portland, I will choose elsewhere. 2. Staff was friendly, service was quick, however, I wanted Chili Colorado which they only serve as a burrito. I asked if I could get it as a dinner, the server asked and the manager said yes. Great, we sat down, waited and after 5 minutes, the server said they don't do chili Colorado as a dinner. I reminded her that the manager/owner said yes but apparently he changed mind! Again, decent food but I believe there are way better options in Portland.

What a great hidden gem! The inside of this place is playful, fun and unique all while having a very laid back ambiance. The service was really friendly and they were extremely patient with us as we perused their menu.We ended up getting an asada taco, chips and guacamole, and an Al pastor burrito. The burrito was amazing, tortilla tasted homemade and was filled with some of the tastiest Spanish rice I've ever had. Loved the salsas that come with it as well. Be careful with the spiciest salsa. I can handle heat but this one will kick you in the pants. The guac was also really good and freshly made with big chunks of avocado. If you like a smooth guac, this may not be the one for you. We will definitely be back!

Really yummy food! LOTS of vegan options, which is a nice change of pace for a Mexican place. The decor is cute/funky and the seating comfortable. I got the vegan taco plate and really enjoyed it. 10/10 would come again!

Don't sleep on this place. Returned from a trip to Nayarit and these tacos are better than we ate in Mexico. The staff is all so friendly and you can tell they really believe in good service. The food is cooked to order and doesn't come out fast as a result but it's worth it. The flavors! Our favorite taco joint in Portland.

Our favorite taco spot is now open for breakfast 7 days a week. An awesome selection of tacos, burritos, and specials...and then their Micheladas - heaven! Fun stuff on their walls.

So good. Had a trip shelf patron margarita and also a spicy cazadores margarita. So good! Come for the drinks, stay for the drinks and food and enjoy their sense of humor.

To be fair - good food, great drinks. Nice women at counter service. Older man in kitchen kicked us out after we purchased and were politely waiting for food indoors. He would not allow a legitimate service dog in the dining area (legal per federal law). No air conditioning so it was hot inside, fan on. We offered to move to be away from kitchen, he insisted we go outside immediately where it was hotter--very dismissive. I would not go here unless I wanted to be treated bad while spending my money again.
