Taqueria El Paisano

I will be buying food here again Everything was phenomenal and delicious Very happy with this experience Also the service was exceptionally friendly Thanks for everything mi amigo

A late night taco spot with a salsa bar, I couldn't ask for anything more.The store is small but full of energy and music, even late at night. You order at the front from a focused menu of tacos, quesadilla, and burrito. The guy quickly whip up your order then you find a seat inside or outside. It's simple, quick, and darn tasty.We got a Lengua Burrito and a couple of tacos. The Lengua was some of the most tender ones I've had! And they give you so much of it both in the burrito and tacos. The Burrito was MASSIVE. Filled with rice, beans, sour cream, and gooey mozzerella cheese. They also toast their tortilla; I'm a BIG fan. Again, the meat was the star. They definitely know what they're doing.Their salsa bar was also full of tasty salsas and fresh accompaniments for your order. The guys were super friendly as well.We'll definitely be back!!

Service is friendly and the place was empty when I arrived at 8:30 on a Wednesday. I placed an order to go and it was ready within ten minutes. While I waited I helped myself to pickled onions and peppers, put salsa in containers and was shortly on my way. When I got home I was pleasantly surprised. Carnitas that makes my lips swoon, barbacoa that smothers my tongue with deep flavors. Cabesa is really good here, fatty and packed with flavor. I'm pretty sure the barbacoa is cabesa too. Beef cheek FTW. My heart is yours Taqueria El Paisano.

Excellent Burritos at El Paisano!! My bro and I wanted Barbacoa and WOW, it was some of the best I've had. The Burritos were big, packed with fresh ingredients and again, the Barbacoa!!! If you're looking for a fantastic burrito on Powell, this should be your spot!

Super flavorful meats served street taco style. The bangin' salsa bar is something you don't see in Portland, so it's a great addition. Cuco is such a nice host!

Walked in and the tv was on and the place was empty except for the gentleman behind the counter. The decor was interesting but I'm more interested in the food. We ordered the carnitas quesadilla and asada burrito to go. The gentleman was helpful and friendly. We got home and plated the food. The carnitas quesadilla was pretty good but nothing jumped out about the flavor. The burrito was ok but again, nothing I'd seek out.

I stopped in for an asada fajita burrito and a carnitas fajita burrito for my partner and I. The burritos were huge and very tasty! I interacted with who I think was the business owner and he was so friendly and kind and offered me free chips and all the salsa I could want! They have an amazing selection of salsas at their salsa bar. 10/10 would recommend!

Probably the best al pastor tacos I've had in this city. The owner was incredibly friendly, fast service, salsa bar, cute decor. All around a gem of a restaurant.

The food was amazing! We went for the tacos and quesadillas, the meat was packed with flavor, and the salsas offered a perfect range of spice to satisfy every taste. The ambience was relaxed, especially since we went in the midafternoon. The service was impressively quick, even with a few other tables around. It was a great experience all around! FYI - They do prefer cash.
