I want to like the food here so badly, it just leaves a lot to be desired. The bean and cheese burrito is far over priced and not very good quality. The street tacos are just okay.
The tortillas and the meat could use some work, and the tacos always come greasy or with too much liquid. Not the worst I’ve ever had, but I could easily make better tacos at home.

In what deranged universe is the best value meal in the entire city rated 3.7 stars. Literally I don’t think I’ve ever seen a restaurant more unfairly rated. All of the people who work here are super sweet. Their food is optimal street food, and it’s criminally UNDERpriced. When I was in grad school, my wife and I (who are not light eaters) would split a $12 chicken burrito for dinner and both be full. They’re one of the only places in the city where you can get something that’s just GOOD, it’s not trying too hard, there’s no rosemary aioli, there’s no duck and horseradish au ju, it’s just a stellar meal served up quick for a fantastic price. Honestly shame on Portland that this place had 3.7 stars. I’m over here walking north up second and saying “ok now do I want lechon or do I want a burrito” and you know what? It’s not an easy decision. 3.7 stars, get out of here. This place is too pure for us.

My family and I took a drive summer 2019 to downtown Portland to stroll and enjoy. We came across this tiny Mexican taco joint. We got fish tacos and carne asada tacos along with horchata drink. They were pretty delicious.
No seating area. We stood and ate our meal and walked around.

On January 1 2026 they charged me $120 on my card for a Quesidilla !!! I’m trying to dispute the charge but this food cart has no phone number I cannot call the place. Does anyone have their number I need my money back!!! Please help!!!

Pretty good Mexican food cart. Chicken burrito was good. Salsas were fine. Nothing super fancy. Service was fine and food came out pretty fast and hot.

Ohmigosh, El Paraiso is soooooo delicious!
While our friends were waiting in line for Voodoo, my husband and I overheard the couple behind us arguing about whether to get donuts or nachos. Of course I had to interject myself into the conversation and I am so glad that I did, because the woman told us about El Paraiso!
The breakfast burritos are so amazing that I want another one…
