Taqueria La Mestiza

This place is right next to my go-to shop (snacks, booze, the occasional frozen treat), I mention, as I've passed this place up not knowing when going to the Shopeteria! and okay, I like what's happening here. Bare bones decor and just kinda a store front (more a to-go) thing happening here. Menu is super accessible as it's pics on the wall and I believe they have a fresh juice bar as well (closed today I guess). We got a wet burrito (sorry if that's not what it's called), tamales and a side of rice. Burrito (see pic) crazy good. Tamales, okay, a little dry but with the homemade sauce--yes. Rice, just skip or it's just filler. Service is wonderful, nice folks here, and we can't wait to come back for breakfast, as I've heard it's awesome!

Great food and friendly staff. Perfectly seasoned! A nice spot for a quick lunch. Food didn't take long to come out.

If you've never had Yucatán banana leaf tamales you might be in for a surprise as they are NOT like the kind you'd find at a farmer's market. They're smaller, dense, distinct, and are complemented with a special dipping sauce. They're very good here.The Salbutes were also very satisfying.The counter guy was very nice and accommodating. There are no prices on the menu which can get confusing.It's not the most aesthetically pleasing area, but a good spot to satisfy you're Yucatán food craving.

Outstanding breakfast burrito. Simple and delish! Will be back for more. Glad I stopped by.

Great food and super good price. I love the burritos. Very friendly wait staff. The only knock is the mild sause is still a bit much...for me at least.

The direction of my daily bike ride often depends on where I might stop for lunch. If I'm riding the Alameda ridge in NE Portland, a stop at TLM. Cross 82nd north of the High School and head up to NE Fremont. They have a few tables outside and have recently expanded the indoor seating but the panuchos remain! It's a bit out of the way but it's a simple, family-owned place, next door to a tienda/market. Not many gringos and a good addition to the authentic taqueria list.

I grew up around here and I would never go to 85th and Fremont. Loved the way carne asada was marinated. I will go back for sure.

As a group of enthusiastic diners from a Latino background, we came to this restaurant with high expectations, eager to explore its offerings. Regrettably, our experience fell short of the mark.The service, while not particularly noteworthy, was serviceable but lacked the warmth and attentiveness one might hope for in a standout establishment.Turning to the culinary offerings, the side of rice, priced at $3.50, was disappointingly meager in portion--barely a cup--and unfortunately, it was both mushy and overcooked. This was a significant letdown, especially considering the price point.The flan, priced at $5, was a mere sliver, raising concerns about both value and portion size. For such a premium, one might expect a more generous serving or a heightened quality.The burrito, costing $11.50, was underwhelming in both taste and presentation. A comparison to homemade versions highlights its shortcomings, suggesting a need for refinement and reconsideration of its pricing.An empty dining room upon our arrival might have been an early indicator of the establishment's struggles. Overall, the disconnect between portion sizes, flavor quality, and pricing left us unsatisfied and questioning the value offered.

This place is always so good from the breakfast burritos to the tacos and regular burritos!! The asada is my favorite!! I also tired their agua de fresa y limon (strawberry and lime) SO GOOD!! They also have such an amazing fresh juice bar aswell! A hidden gem for real! I would recommend this place to anyone for very delicious food!

Amazing Mexican food. I enjoy the panuchos and the steak fajitas platter. Delicious! I've also enjoyed the cochinita pibil
