    Best spot for late night Mexican in Portland. By late night I mean the bars just kicked everyone out, not 10 pm, like half the people in this city seem to think qualifies as late.

    $7.75 is steep for a burrito, but they're pretty filling and have a great flavor. Free to sub cheese+crema for guac if you're vegan.

    Good al pastor and amazing nachos where every chip is covered with toppings.

    The dive bar equivalent of a Mexican restaurant. Let's be honest, you're going here when you're drunk and anything you get is going to be delicious.

    Step 1: Get drunk somewhere. Step 2: Come to Robo Taco. Step 3: Order a Deluxe plate. Step 4: Squirt a full bottle of sauce over the plate. Step 5: Enjoy. Step 6: Regret.

    Everything. I'm Mexican and I've lived here for 8 years from Los Angeles. These tacos are the best I've found so far.

    Really good. Really fast to. Great place to get some food in your belly before a tattoo at Lucky Lady. Similar music too. 👍

    SAUCES! Listed from cool to hot. Tomatillo: mild; bright taste. Avocado: slight heat, faint flavor. Arbol: a slow burn; smoky (my fave). Habanero: fiery, fruity.

    Being from San Diego, these are the best REAL burritos in Oregon. Hands down. Anything else is pretend, use their salsas!

    The hot sauces are bomb. Lots of taster vegetarian options, but don't miss the the al pastor.

    Vegan Pastor Burrito FTW! You can't beat the soy curls and pineapple combo.

    Good food, hipster crowd on the weekends after the witching hour, and a lack of hispanohablantes for a "mexican" restaurant. The food is good, but not authentic or original. Overall, it's ok.

    The giant taco is more like a regular size taco... bigger than a small one but smaller than you'd think.

    It's whit mans tacos, just ok. Tacos over priced, salsa comes in too small containers. Although the staff was made up of really cute college ladies. I shall only return for late night grub, open 3am

    Stick to the chorizo or the barbacoa. Avoid the pastor.

    The atmosphere leaves something to be desired but you sure can't beat the street tacos.
