" My first time dining at Taquería Los Puñales was memorable! The flavors were rich, and the tacos were beautifully presented. The homemade salsas complemented the dishes perfectly. The staff was immensely helpful, providing recommendations and ensuring we were taken care of. It's slightly on the pricier side, but with the quality of food, it’s absolutely worth it. I will surely return soon to try their breakfast specials. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've always had a knack for great tacos, and Taquería Los Puñales certainly lives up to the hype! Every taco I tried was bursting with authentic flavors that took me back to Mexico. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I appreciated the casual and colorful atmosphere too. Overall, a solid choice for both spice lovers and those who prefer milder options. Worth a visit for that perfect fiesta lunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Taquería Los Puñales for the first time after hearing great things, and it did not disappoint! The tacos were authentic and fresh, with generous portions. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere felt cozy, reminiscent of a street taco stand in Mexico. I loved the homemade chips as well! Highly recommend for anyone seeking real Mexican flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taquería Los Puñales is hands down one of the best taco spots I have encountered in Portland! The different salsa options really complement the tacos, enhancing the flavor experience. The seating could be more comfortable; a few stools were a bit wobbly. However, once you get past that, the flavors will win you over. I also enjoyed their quesadillas on another visit, which were just as good. Can't wait to make another visit soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations coming to Taquería Los Puñales based on the intense buzz, and they certainly delivered! Each taco was packed with flavor, and the tortillas tasted fresh. However, I found the pricing a little steep when you add drinks. The atmosphere was energetic; I appreciated the friendly dialogue with the staff who made good recommendations. I’d recommend trying their aguas frescas; I had the mango one and loved it! All in all, I’d come back to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic tacos that are truly authentic! My favorites were the asada and buche tacos! The tortillas felt freshly made, adding to the overall experience. The service was efficient but could perhaps benefit from a touch more warmth. The atmosphere is lively, a bit bustling; you might have to wait for a table during peak times, but it’s well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Taquería Los Puñales and it has quickly become my go-to taco place! The variety and quality of ingredients used are impressive, and they have some of the best salsas around! The service was friendly, and the staff seemed genuine. My only complaint would be the wait times can get a bit lengthy during peak hours, but that just goes to show how loved this place is! Bring your friends and enjoy a great meal! " (*Curated Review*)
