My daughter took me here for dinner, and I’m so glad she did! The staff were friendly and helpful. The margaritas were delicious. I highly recommend the tacos and the chips and salsa–darn tasty. My new go to for Mexican food.

This is my second time coming in and will be the last. both times i’ve been here the service has been unnecessarily slow for no reason. the bartender/servers have no regard or urgency to run drinks or check up on you. the first time i came here, the server ended forgetting my second drink all together but the food was great so i ended up tipping over 20%. my mistake because our second time here, the service was even worse. we waited a very long time for our drinks and order to be taken all while our drinks sat at the bar to be ran. i wanted to walk up to the bar myself to grab them all while the bartender and server were just standing there doing god knows what. same issue when i got a refill on my drink. they weren’t even busy. although the food is good, it’s not enough for me to come back or to tip, and i should’ve not even tip but still left something small.

I live in the neighbor and have been a raving fan of La Taq for quite a while. The tacos are undoubtably amazing, but after last night’s visit and the horrendously obnoxious and rude behavior of the server, I will not, in good conscience, ever return. From the moment I asked the simple question: Is there table service outside (because some evenings there isn’t) and the server’s obnoxious reply – “That’s why there are tables there…” to then be left waiting for 20 mins and the blatantly up-charging us for drinks we didn’t order – I now don’t even trust that they didn’t cheat us on our bill – the server made it that unpleasant of a dining experience.

We were here last night and we couldn’t belive how good our food was best tacos in portland!!! Not to mention everything else. Our server Shandi was above and beyond. We never had to ask for another drink and walked us through wich tacos best suited us. Will be back again and again!

This is a quaint place that is super casual and relaxed. When you walk in you seat your self and will find water and menus already waiting for you on your table. Grab a table and check out the La Taq menu. We wanted to order a cheese dip but couldn’t choose between the green Chile queso or the fundido. Our server told us the difference (queso like Tostitos salsa con queso/velveta cheese) we went for the fundido, it was really spicy and I like spicy stuff. It basically was melted gooey cheese and peppers. Not too much flavor and I was sweating lol. The tortillas that it came with were really good but we ran out of them fast. I wouldn’t get it again. Probably go for the cheaper option of the green chile queso. We did get chips and salsa, the salsa was really good. I preferred the red salsa but the green was good too. Lots of flavor and heat! I ordered the tacos: rojas poblanos (veggie) and shrimp taco. The veggie taco was alright, really Tex mex and true to the flavors but the shrimp taco was AMAZING. If you like shrimp but are hesitant about it being fried, it’s surprisingly really good. Great flavors. Friend ordered enchiladas and somehow got the combination plate… the combination plate has a lot going on and was HUGE. my friend barely ate it. Anyways great place for tacos and finger food! And the service was great!
