" I had a bit of a mixed experience at Taco Express. While the tacos were amazingly fresh and bursting with flavor, I found that the service was a little rushed during the lunchtime rush hour. I couldn’t really get my questions answered about the menu, but the taste made up for it. Overall, I'd recommend it for the food, but I'd suggest going at off-peak times if you want a more laid-back experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taco Express delivers solid food but I've had better in the past. The carne asada was good, though a bit greasy for my taste. The service was friendly, but I waited a little longer than expected for my order. Still, considering the prices, you get good value for what you pay. The outdoor seating area is a nice touch too. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I've been all over Portland trying to find authentic Mexican food that really hits the spot, and I finally struck gold with Taco Express. The carne asada tacos are juicy and perfectly seasoned. I love that they actually care about their ingredients and make almost everything from scratch. I've brought several friends here, and they all leave with smiling faces and full stomachs. This will definitely become a regular stop for me! " (*Curated Review*)

" The taco truck scene in Portland can be overwhelming, but Taco Express stands out to me as one of the best! I appreciate how they focus on authentic flavors without charging an arm and a leg. Their vegetarian options are solid, ensuring that everyone in my group can find something they like. I’m a huge fan of their quinoa tacos, and I often order their green salsa on the side. Don’t forget to try the horchata—it’s divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must express my appreciation for Taco Express and the amazing food they serve. Each dish I have tried has been a delight, my personal favorite being the breakfast burrito. The flavors are incredible, and it feels like they genuinely put love into their meals. I enjoy coming back here time and again, especially for the friendly service that makes you feel like family. If you're nearby, please consider stopping in—you won't be disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must admit, Taco Express has become my go-to lunch spot! Their fish tacos are out of this world, probably some of the freshest I've had in Portland. I love that they’re open even when it’s sweltering hot outside—it shows true dedication. The wait times are generally pretty short, and the outdoor seating is nice for enjoying a meal. If you haven’t tried it yet, definitely plan a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I went to Taco Express, I ordered the chorizo tacos and was very pleased! The flavors were on point, and they were generous with the toppings. However, my friend ordered the burrito and it was cold in the middle, which was disappointing. I did appreciate the friendly demeanor of the staff, so I’m willing to give them one more chance. " (*Curated Review*)
