" I had the pleasure of visiting Carlos Birrieria recently and was completely blown away by the birria tacos. They were packed with flavor, and the meat was so tender, it practically melted in my mouth. The service was prompt and the staff was incredibly friendly, making the experience even better. The outdoor seating area was great too, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful weather while eating delicious food! Overall, I can't recommend this place enough if you're in the mood for authentic Mexican dishes. Definitely going back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carlos Birrieria has become my go-to for Mexican food! Their tacos are consistently good, and the portion sizes are just right for the price. On my last visit, I tried the new salsa they've introduced, and it had the perfect kick! However, the place can get quite busy downtown, and finding a seat might be challenging. Regardless, I’ll keep coming back because the flavor and service make it worthwhile. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" My expectations were high based on the reviews, and Carlos Birrieria did not disappoint! The birria burrito was filled with meat and flavor, not to mention the consomé on the side was a delightful addition. I also tried the Tacos and they were just as good. The only downside was that it was quite busy when I went, and I had to wait a little longer than expected. But the staff handled it well and were still very friendly. I will absolutely come back and recommend this food cart to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite disappointed during my last visit. Although the food was decent, it was not as authentic as I recalled. The birria lacked the depth of flavor that I had previously loved, and the service was slower than usual. I received my order wrong, and it took a while to get someone’s attention to resolve it. Despite this, the tacos were still fairly priced, so I will be willing to give them another shot, hoping it was just an off day for them. " (*Curated Review*)

" While dining at Carlos Birrieria, I was impressed with how clean and welcoming the space felt. I ordered the quesabirria and was very satisfied with the generous portion size. The flavors were vibrant, and the consommé was a fabulous complement. The staff were pleasant and engaging, which only enhanced my experience. I did have a small hiccup as they forgot one of my sides, but they quickly resolved it when I mentioned it. All in all, a great place for a delicious meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" For street tacos, this place is the best I have found in Portland! The birria tacos are my personal favorite; they are just bursting with flavor. However, when I visited last, they were out of avocado, which was a bit disappointing. I also appreciate how the staff knows their regular customers and how they make everyone feel valued. Overall, this is a great spot, and I will keep coming back for the deliciousness. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stop thinking about the birria! It's so flavorful and authentic; it reminded me of the street tacos I used to have when visiting Mexico. The service was immaculate; they were very attentive throughout my meal. I also ordered the Nino burrito based on the staff's recommendation, and I'm so glad I did. I did have some trouble finding parking nearby, but once I settled in and enjoyed my meal, everything was worth it. I’ll be highly recommending this spot to all my friends and family.
