Romero's Kitchen - Portland

I also tried a bite of the carne asada quesadilla, which was quite good as well, earning a solid 9/10. However, there were a few reasons I ended up giving a 4-star rating instead of 5. The tacos we ordered were just average, at best. Given the price, they really didn't feel worth it. They should ideally be at least $1.25 cheaper each based on what you get and their taste. My husband ordered four tacos and felt disappointed and still hungry afterward. I understand that prices have gone up lately, but nearly $4 each for those tacos doesn't sit right with us, and we probably wouldn’t order them again. Additionally, we were supposed to receive a free Jaritos with our order, but it was missing. It’s not a huge issue, but if you’re running a promotion like that, it would be good to honor it. Finally, on a more personal note, I found their medium salsa to be REALLY hot. I enjoy spicy food, but I usually stick to mild or medium levels. If you love spicy, though, you might really enjoy their salsas! Overall, I would consider going back, but I would likely only order the burrito next time!

Delicious empanadas! I was really impressed. They were amazing the first time I had them, and they tasted fantastic even after I heated them up. While I was there, three other people came in to order in the middle of the afternoon, so they clearly know a good spot. The outdoor tables were a lovely touch as well. I definitely plan on returning!

I contracted E. Coli from this restaurant and have been unwell for nearly two weeks due to their food. I highly advise against dining here.

Fresh and delicious. I get a new salsa each week at their stand in the Vancouver, WA farmer’s market. Best in the PNW! Highly recommended.

Incredible food best carnitas I have ever had. The family is SO kind and gracious. Cannot recommend enough! New go to spot.
