Tres Reyes

Probably the best Mexican food I have had in the portland area. My favorite things are the gorditas, chilaquiles, asada tacos, chorizo potato quesadilla, and of course the weekend carnitas.

The real deal.After moving to Portland from California some years back, where we had access to authentic Mexican doshes, slow cooked meats, rich stews, fresh made corn tortillas, we have continually pined for that authenticity and those flavors. This. Tres Reyes, tucked in a small shopping center off the main drag of 181st & Stark, is simply fantastic, delicious. Down to the salsa bar with radishes and stewed peppers and onions, legit and comforting to the core.

I drive around all day every day doing estimates. I eat out every single day for lunch. I mainly eat Mexican food because I hold a burrito and eat while driving. I have to say that this is one of the best places that I've had all month. I rarely write reviews because it's time-consuming but I wanted to give these guys a review because the burrito was so freaking good. Customer service was great and prices are very reasonable. I plan on going back.

Little family run mexican restaurant kind of off the beaten path. Many choices on their big menu on the wall.The little restaurant itself is simple, not a lot of decor, and clean enough. It's got about 10 tables so it's roomy enough that it could handle a few families at a time.I always get the chile relleno and it did not disappoint. Huge and had a rich sauce over all of it. The beans were creamy. The tortillas were warm and wonderful.They've got the great salsa bar with many awesome condiments to add to your entrees like onions, cilantro, limes, roasted jalapenos etc. They had about 6 different salsas and they are HOT and full of spices! They do not serve cerveza.Chips are NOT homemade. They probably don't really serve them except to gringos like me. I use the chips to sample all the salsas. I think I've gained 10 pounds.

I had some ridiculously good tacos today at Tres Reyes. I ordered three tacos with my three favorite meats: asada, pastor, and carnitas, and they were prepared exactly the way I like them. . .the meats were all SERIOUSLY grilled nice and brown. Also, they didn't put any other ingredients on the tacos except the meat. Instead, they let you put whatever salsa, etc you want on it yourself from their salsa and condiment bar. That's a good idea. . .you can make your own choices and put as much or as little as you want. For example, I like cilantro on my tacos, but not raw onions, and I don't like it drenched with salsa because I want to be able to taste the meat. The low price of $1.50 for tacos is nice too.

If you're from the NW you'll probably like this place. However, as an ex-Arizonan I am still on scope for some REAL Mexican food. Please Portland, stop getting my hopes up and then letting me down. This place is only a-iight. The meat was decent (both the barbacoa and asada), but the rest was pretty mediocre. Salsa bar has lots of options, but nothing actually spicy and the salsas were all a bit on the watery side. Perhaps a burrito wasn't their best offering so I might go back and try tacos or a plate.

Amazing - amazing- amazing!!! Best Mexican food... we come all the way from Portland for this little amazing restaurant. Go for the carnitas and the home made tortillas

Decided to try this place out only because I wanted menudo on new years day. The place inside is cafeteria style, you order then they call you to pick up. Nice dining room area with a refrigerated condiment area. I ordered the menudo and two carnitas tacos and a diet coke in a can. Now how my food wasPROS.. fresh delicious homemade tortillas Good seasoned porkHot good broth in the soupTons of tripeLots of Pico and salsa choicesCONS menudo was only pork fat, bones, tripe and broth nothing elseTaco was only tortillas and meat and not a big servingOverall I give it 3.5 stars and I will definitely be back because I was the only English speaking person there and it was pretty busy so I feel like I'm missing out on some good things.

Prices are WAY off for the type of servings. Food is good but NOT GREAT. Sorry just being honest. Please keep the tables clean more often along with your salsa bar.

Pretty great, authentic and fresh Mexican food which is hard to find here being from California.Tacos are served on homemade tortillas and are delicious! Great platos enteros, my favorite is the Chilli Relleno another hard find here. And the best Mexican rice ever! And super consistent, we've never had a bad meal here.
