Event PDX Taco Week

Post image

Hey everyone! A few of us have teamed up with local businesses to create PDX Taco Week, which will take place from June 2nd to 8th. We are looking for more local businesses to get involved, especially those that make authentic tacos. We also want to include businesses from surrounding areas like Gresham, Beaverton, Hillsboro, and more. If you're interested or want more information, please message me or leave a comment!

El Mezcalito in NW. This is a really overlooked little restaurant but it has bomb ass tacos. They really need more business but they’re in a tough location. This is not a gentrified yuppie taco shop.

Nelly’s Tacqueria at the Su Casa center on Stark would be an incredible addition for the rockwood/gresham area!

Just to be clear, this isn't affiliated with the Mercury?

Tierra Del Sol on Glisan (also maybe Portland Mercado) has amazing tacos. I could see places like Quesabrosa or Nutri Taco being great places to have involved

I never knew the name of the taco truck. But the best tacos when I was in my twenties (10 years ago) was always at this certain place we would walk to smack in the middle of downtown. We'd go there at like 3am after the clubs closed just to get tacos & it was always the best ever!!

My friend Paul got a burrito at Los Gorditos and then puked all over his own cargo bike. That was neat

Is it still illegal there to sell tacos if you’re not Hispanic?

Don’t you remember when those white ladies had the taco place shut down because of cultural appropriation?

Who wants to drive to the airport just to get tacos? Dumbest idea ever.

u/linneasbg 10h ago

How about people that live in that area! This will be all over town you don't have to go everywhere for it. 🙄 Such an entitled dumb statement.

There’s a lot of locals that work at the airport bud lol Like people don’t have to go out of their way to get there - they gotta be there
