The food was Delicious and hands down THE BEST civeche I've had in years! I loved the atmosphere even though it was getting quite busy.There are a few things that I wasn't aware of when I first got there. There is seating on the roof but you can't really tell unless you look. It's super neat up there and I would've chosen to dine up there if I had known. The second thing~they have a refrigerator filled with all the condiments but again, you have to look for it!The homemade chips and dip w guacamole had such great flavor until our food arrived.I chose the cantaloupe al fresco and omg it was So yummy. She had just made it, and it was so delicious and refreshing on a hot day! I'd Definately go back.

First time here. Not from Oregon, but found this place online. Tacos are really good as well as chips and salsa. They were super busy, but everyone seemed nice. Reminds me a little bit like a fast food restaurant, because you order and pay before you get your food. Probably not a problem for regular customers, but when its your first time it feels a little rushed just because you don't want to hold up the line. Liked everything we ordered though. Would go again if ever in the area.

Por Qué No is great. Some Portlanders may roll their eyes and say it’s overpriced or touristy- don’t listen to them. PQN makes great food, has a fantastic array of menu and drinks options for all dietary needs, and great seating (at both locations). The spicy cucumbers are a refreshing side dish, and the chips are super solid (maybe the best chips and guac in Portland). My suggestion: always make sure to grab some of the escabeche with your meal.

They don’t wait on you here . YOUR the server I have to write a bunch more stuff to satiate this word min blah blah blah

Usually come here for lunch with a margarita. Hongos y Papas, carnitas, and pescado tacos are usually my favorite. Great salsa and guac too. Had the chorizo bfast tacos for the first time and wow! So so good. Generous taco portions!

The BEST tacos in Portland - great flavor, always fresh, and amazing choices. Bloody Marys are delicious too!

Great food at the Mississippi location. I had the Bryan's bowl with grilled fish which was fantastic. The homemade chips have more salt than I like but they are otherwise perfectly made. Lots of sheltered spaces to sit and eat. On a fun street with lots of interesting stores and ships to visit.

First time here and it was great. I am really picky about most Mexican food being from a border town in Texas. This place has good flavors for the bryan bowl. The corn tortillas are not hand made but not a bad thing. Only thing I would recommend is heat up the chips when served with meal and add and extra tortilla and server them a little hotter that is it great meal.

I wish I'd asked the fish wasn't fried, otherwise pretty good as always..they've done a great job to accommodate the masks/distancing and lovely to sit outside. Wish I'd had time for the margaritas! Pretty cool menu for pandemic times with lots of to-go options.

Quick, friendly service. Great barbacoa, best outside the south. Excellent atmosphere, great drinks.
