This has been mine and my husbands favorite taco spot for over 6 years. Before the pandemic, this was our go-to spot for date night. The food and drinks are INSANELY good. We have tried so many other places in Portland and no where can compare. My personal favorite is the queso and chips and Al Pastor taco… I can’t even describe how yummy they are ahhhhh.
We moved away in 2018 and came back in 2020. We were so sad (my heart was CRUSHED) to see La Taq was permanently closed but I drove by one time maybe 6 months ago and saw LA TAQ WAS OPEN!! I literally about cried I was so excited. We finally made it over here tonight and it’s just like how we remembered it. So so so good. And we will be back. Thank you for opening again 🥹🙏🏻
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 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!
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!
Chill vibe, delicious food (get the guac and fish taco will blow your mind), babe of a bartender. Easy choice for a great night!
The best chips, guac and inventive cocktails. Barkeep v knowledgeable. Thanks for a great night out!
I’ve been coming here for a while. Caroline is gem, in fact, your whole staff is. Everyone is so personable, makes me feel like I’m home away from home.
And the hustle when it’s busy…wow!
Great Alberta spot! Excellent chips and salsa which tells you everything about a Mexican joint!
Great vegetarian options.
Cocktails are well made and atmosphere is lively.
Fun spin on drinks and Tex Mex ... Quaint place... Good service... Yummy food!!
Haven’t been here since the quarantine started. Before that it was a favorite. The brisket tacos are heavenly. They get the brisket from Podnah’s, next door. Service is good. Cocktails are yummy. 21+ only due to it being a small place and mostly a bar, so not a family place. 20min wait at 9pm on a Friday night, but made easier by being able to order drinks and have them while waiting in line.
Nice place had a few drinks and some delicious tacos. Service was great as well. Todo estuvo muy bien.
Shandi was the best! Tacos were killer, awesome margaritas!
Food was great, people were extra nice. Wait was a little crazy for a table, but I guess that's anywhere on a Saturday night. We were lucky enough to find some slots at the bar and slid right in. The coconut margarita is pretty dangerous. (Goes down smooth) the nachos and brisket cheese dip were the bomb. If you're going for the food, go at an off time to avoid the wait, but it's worth it no matter what.
We came here a few months ago and I cannot stop thinking about it!!! We came shortly after opening so it wasn't too crowded which was really nice. The server told us they created the menu with the style of ordering a beer and a taco, socializing and ordering another taco with your second round of beer etc. It was super fun to have a such a casual experience and it made for some great quality time with my husband. Also, the tacos were INCREDIBLE!!! I think we ended up trying one of almost every variety and I couldn't pick a favorite. Each of them was unique and absolutely delicious, we can't wait to come back.
