Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Perfect neighborhood Taqueria. Very traditional, reasonable prices. No beer or liquor but there is a C Store next to it so you can grab a six pack and take it home.

This is the same establishment as Mucho Amigo Taqueria. For the low price, this place tastes great, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Try the many tacos they have for only $1.35, it's a great bargain.

Been going to this Yucatan inspired hole-in-the-wall for 10+ years (ownership might have changed.) The Panuchos come with an excellent sauce, I prefer them to a standard taco. The excellent $1.80 Tamales are a different type. They seem to specialize in seafood, many plates are around $9. Wish they had more of drink selection.

Seriously...the seventh entrant to the PDX panucho sweepstakes? How pissed am I to live in a city with triple the population of persons of Mexican descent as Portland, but no one here has ever heard of a panucho? Yelp-search "Sacramento panucho"...zero results! Portland surely must boast the most panucherias per capita this side of Bolonchén, Campeche. How does your city support this many panuchos? Poquito pachucos, yet mucho panuchos?!?! Actually, does Portland really support so so many scrumptious sumptuous panuchos??? I wonder if this place will catch on and survive. I hope it does! A panucho is a Yucatecan variant of a taco or tostada that is slathered with black beans broken down to the moment before they become soup and topped with meat, diced tomatoes, pickled red onions, avocado, and sometimes cheese. The tortilla's grilled so that it maybe toasted like a tostada, but most panuchos still fold up enough that you can tilt your head and eat 'em like tacos. Yucatecan food is generally much less fatty and greasy than other regional styles (or generic American impressions of such styles) of Mexican food. A cousin of the panucho is the salbute, which is basically a panucho minus the beans. Whereas fatty fried cuts of meat may be more flavorful than grilled lean cubes, Yucatecans bridge the flavor gap with marinades rich in tangy sour oranges and achiote. I stumbled upon Taqueria Serralta after a hike up, down, and around Rocky Butte on a day that felt much hotter than the mild forecast. We figured that a walk down in a southerly direction would drop us more quickly onto a commercial street such as 82nd Avenue where we could find water, but in the early afternoon with short shadows, it was hard to tell which way we were going, and when I found a thoroughfare called "Fremont", I thought "Oh, hey...That's a pretty major street...It cuts almost all the way to the Willamette." It did seem strange that this street intersected all the others diagonally, but when I found the corner of Fremont Street and Fremont Drive, I felt kinda demoralized, dazed, and dehydrated. We were getting further and further from our car which we parked by the Grotto, and there was still no water in sight. We dashed the plan to find a mini-mart on 82nd and turned east toward the volcano again, and soon, the taqueria and the neighboring Shopeteria appeared like a mirage...a veritable oasis in a desert of parched late-summer lawns gone brown, betraying the lush green image of Portland with vibrant commercial development every few blocks. The weathered wooden sign of the former Taqueria Mucho Amigo still stands by the curb, but a new banner proudly announces the arrival of Taqueria Hermanos Serralta (or just Serralta on the official-looking Facebook page and business card) in this otherwise downtrodden mini-stripmall since late spring. Sheesh...I can't believe I found a place in Portland that doesn't have dozens of Yelp reviews already! I'm not so sure that it's worth crossing the entire metro area to eat the panuchos here, but they are plenty good, especially after a Rocky Butte hike that kicks your butt more than it should have. (Half a lifetime ago, I did Mt. Shasta as a day-hike, but now Rocky Butte kicks my ass?!?! Oh, the shame!) The panuchos at Angel Food & Fun are certainly a little bit better. But the rest of the menu here looks fascinating, and I always root for underdogs, so I think on my next visit, I'll come back to Serralta and try some of the more elaborate seafood platters.

Just off 82nd on Fremont - small Taqueria with limited seating (4 or 5 booths), but service is fast and friendly. They ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS - a refreshing sight, as most of these places are cash-only. Currently, the tacos are $1.35 a piece. I wanted to try the al pastor, but they were out. I got 3 pollo and 2 carne asada. I preferred the pollo, but all were great. Lots of onions and cilantro, and a little bit of pico de gallo they put on top. 5 tacos was more than enough, they really pile on the toppings. I will definitely be coming back! Not sure about other offerings, but if the tacos are any indication, this is a great stop for lunch or such.
