Taquería Los Puñales

Wonderful people serving up wonderful food

I really want to like this place, in particular because it seems to be owned and run by Mexican or first generation Mexican-Americans. But unfortunately the food is bland and lazy. No depth in the seasoning (in fact almost no seasonings at all), no interesting salsas, not even fresh onion or cilantro to be found. If they could bring in just one abuela or vendor of street food from anywhere in Mexico to give them some guidance, they could be so much better. Just because we are on Belmont St in the whitest of white Portland doesn’t mean we can’t have a little flavor. Sorry. (They do at least make their own tortillas). Even gringo Mexican like porque no is better than this.

The tacos here are delicious! My favorite are the shrimp tacos, but I love them all! The people who work here are all super friendly and the food is served quickly.

Taqueria sin carne asada no es taqueria

Wow. The food here is truly excellent. I went with friends after having tasted their food at a party. We were greeted warmly. We came for the Chicken Pozle. It was excellent. I also had a quesadilla. It was also very good. The chips are yummy. The tortillas are excellent. They had cucumber juice with peppermint. It was lovely. The friend I went with is a true foodie. He found this place and loves it. That says a lot because he is very picky about what he considers excellent.

We come from the suburbs to eat here regularly. Love the variety of vegetarian tacos and I can’t help but get a mango margarita every time I go!

I popped into Taquería Los Puñales on a whim, and I'm glad I did! The folks who work there are incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. I had three tacos, two barbacoa jalisco style, and one poblano mole taco (I honestly could've eaten three more of these. It was especially tasty. ) Thank you so much!
