I had never been here prior to this visit. I was a fan of Nans Taqueria before they closed. Nans is now part of Nayar. Chef Miranda knows the importance of cooking with love. She is dedicated to her craft and community. The only think bigger than the flavor of her food is her heart. The restaurant is a total vibe. Casual with funny posters and signs all over. Service was exceptional.

Pretty quirky taqueria. Food is so good. Got the Santa Fe rolls and ground beef enchiladas Del Mar style, So good and and fresh. Will definitely come back. Make sure to wash your hands before eating, the bathroom is funny

Cute spot with a fun atmosphere. A great place to wait out traffic if you're close during happy hour. We arrived after that though and had a wonderful time. I had the birria tacos and a fried fish taco while my husband had a burrito and both came out looking delicious with flavors to match. Front of house service was fun and effervescent. Will be back to try happy hour and dinner again.

Love this little hidden gem in SE Portland. Right on foster street colorful building with authentic local ingredients that you can taste, enjoy and feel like some grandma in a back alley in Mexico prepared it with love. For someone that goes to Mexico a lot this is Definetly a spot to check out. I was shocked it’s been there for 20+ years. Once you taste it you will know why they have been and deserve to be around still. Drinks are great too , grab a seat at a tiny bar while you wait for your food to go or sit back and relax with a friendly staff. I love the quirky signs they have at the bar. Prices are great compared to some overpriced low quality Mexican food around. I am back for Chilli Rellano burrito with added Carne asada per chefs recommendation. Wow. This is huge monster of del

Between the decor, the menus, and the food itself, it's like you ended up in some random bar in Fort Lauderdale, and I don't mean that in a good way. I love mezcal but their "Mezcalita" is a terrible flavor combo with watermelon; somehow ends up tasting like a cheap leather shoe you'd buy from Nordstrom Rack. Couldn't finish it. Served nachos in a tall bowl. When has anyone ever said, "I want my nachos stacked higher, layer on layer?" No - nachos need surface area so they don't steam under each other or end up without any toppings at all. Tacos are $4 on average and the quality isn't there to warrant a higher average price than most tacos these days. Overly breaded fish tacos; overcooked chicken. If you think the decor is quirky, I've got a few "live laugh love" signs to sell you. Ther
