Almost entirely gluten-free. Popular. You order at the counter and then choose a table: many outside as well as spacious inside tables. Server brings you your meal. I enjoyed a roasted cauliflower taco and a chicken Tinga taco ($5 each). Chips and guac are extra: chips are light, crisp and good, guac Has chunks of avocado.
So good! Like another reviewer said, I too would eat here every day if I could. I tried the Old E and the Cauliflower taco, both amazing! The salsa was fantastic! My partner had the carne asada tacos and the nachos which he loved. My kiddo absolutely devoured 5 carnitas tacos. All incredibly delicious! We will definitely be back again and again.
The server said everything was gluten free except the beer! I had the pescado and chicken tinga tacos. The pescado and regular salsa were a bit bland, but the tinga tacos and the pinneapple jalapeño hot sauce were amazing!! Extensive menu for a dedicated GF restaurant. Quick service and cool place.
Incredible tacos and great bang for your buck — fast service, interesting specials, great non-alcoholic cocktails (e.g. delicious virgin paloma for $6). My partner and I shared five tacos with chips and salsa, and it was nearly too much food. The tacos are stuffed to the gills! The carne asada was our favorite, but the herbivore is also a must-try special.
Also, everything is gluten-free, and they’re very clear about that on their menus. 😊
Wow!! The handmade taco shells were so soft and pillowy and did not fall apart. By far the best I’ve ever tried. I had the carnitas taco and the bean and cheese taco. We also had chips and salsa and the spicy strawberry margarita! Everything was super super delicious!! Lots of choices and hot sauces.
OMG - this place was SO GOOD. We actually ate here twice on our weekend in Portland, and commented "why don't we have something like this in the Seattle area?!"
I had tacos both times. The carne asada was nicely seasoned and cooked, but the star of the show were the carnitas tacos. Whatever orange marinade they use on that meat is incredible. My wife got the taco salad, and ended up having to take half of it home because it was so big.
If you're in the greater Vancouver/Portland region, don't miss out on this restaurant. Have I mentioned that it's SO GOOD?
Note on the one-star ice cream reviews: the ice cream cart is a separate facility that just shares a parking lot with Tacovore. It’s unfair to blame this restaurant for getting sick from a separate food cart. The Tacovore restaurant is very safe, and it’s kitchen is distant and separate from the ice cream. Don’t be dissuaded, Tacovore deserves a chance!
I’ve been here a couple dozen times and it’s always safe, always amazing, and the staff are so kind and helpful. They even have an ingredients list for every item on the menu; I went with my friend who is also allergic to corn and eggs, and we both found options that we loved.
The food is great, with both significant quantity and quality, and all the tacos are all unique so it feels like a different meal every time. Their local seasonal specials and drink specials are fantastic, and as a severe celiac it’s the only place I’ve felt safe having a margarita.
This is my safe and stable go-to, so show them some love!
While the food is good I would not recommend it to a celiac. I repeat. DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU ARE A CELIAC. Me and my family ordered the ice cream and became very ill. Low and behold we found out they buy their ice cream from a 3rd party. The ice cream isn’t just cross contaminated, it contains gluten. The establishment claims to be dedicated gluten free and no where on the menu or by any server was I told the ice cream was an exception and it contained gluten. I’m furious.
My husband and I eat here a couple times a month for the past 2 years. We have tried many different dishes including salads, papas fritas, tacos of many kinds, chips/guacamole/salsa, quest, etc and never had any issues with either getting sick. Hands down one of our fav places to eat in PDX!
