When Rick led off with Tierra del Sol, I knew this would be an A-tier roundup! Their Tlayuda is absolutely the perfect warm-weather dish! If you are downtown, the owner of Las Cazuelas (food truck) reminds me so much of Amelia. She makes delicious Birria, and her tamales ALWAYS sell out (only available two days a week, but if you're nice, she'll set some aside for you)!
Absolutely delightful and a wonderful way to showcase passion filled food - from food truck to traditional restaurant setting. Thank YOU Rick and crew for bringing us along!
I think you're amazing when I watch your videos of you cooking. But I think what you did today was extremely special, original and entertaining in the best way possible! Thank you for sharing.
Would happily watch hours of this!! Rick, you are such a kind presenter and highlighted these people and their food in a captivating way. Can’t wait to see more!
Considering the origin of the slogan, the meaning behind it is ironic. Also, I love living in Portland but the words on the back of the club are very unassuming. Don’t visit it if you want keep the same feeling about it.
This was an amazing video. We are up in Portland once or twice a year, we will definitely check these places out!! I’d watch a travel series with Rick showcasing restaurants all over the US. COME TO PHOENIX NEXT!!
Thanks, Rick. Many Californians who moved to Oregon say, "There's no good Mexican food in Portland!" So thank you for shining a spotlight on some of the people making great food in our city.
@@INFJparadox There's a difference between saying that you don't like Mexican food in Portland and saying that Portland doesn't have good Mexican food. I hope you don't fall into the latter category.
@@INFJparadox Highly recommended Ochoas Outdoor Mexican food in Hillsboro, Little Conejo in Vancouver Wa, Dos Mundos in Newberg. I'm from LA and took me bout 6 years to find these places that are remotely close to the taqueros back home!
My guy at the end! He is such a great chef, I’ve been a huge fan of his work and restaurants for a long time. I always support his places. His food is Culture, history and all!
When I lived in Portland, nothing beat the burritos and tamales at La Jarochita. I visit Portland a few times a year and I always take back a few burritos from La Jarochita, they're just too good.
Our food is so incredibly diverse. Food is love reminded me of Like Water for Chocolate 😊 Moved to Portland from SF two years ago and there are more Mexican vegan and vegetarian options here. Buen provecho!🥰
Ricky great video! Thank you so much 🙏!! I'm so lucky to live in one of the best foodie cities on the planet. Thanks for featuring these terrific Mexican eateries.
If you're in southeast PDX, go to Taqueria Taco Ramos. Her huaraches will make u cry. Sra Ramos has borrego and carne de chivo too! There's also secret pupusa shack out here, but I'm not gonna tell you about it. It's secret.
hahaha! Is it Pupuseria Migueleña? That's the only one I have been to. Good, but other stuff like beans and rice not so good. The platanos and empanadas are yummy.
Bon Appetit recently did a whole video highlighting Chef Angel and Republica, with him showing us what a day in the restaurant is like. It was really well done.
Moved from Seattle to OKC in 2011 and love it here, great food and great people despite the politics of the state. I miss the PNW but not the weather!!!!
A lot of people don't know that taquerias often have absolutely fire burgers. Go on a hunt in your area and I think you'll find something you'll really like.
Hahahah I watched a version of this this morning very early before they added subtitles - so confused to see it posted again until the subtitles appeared!
I would love to see a collab between Sweet Heat and Tasting History. Rick and Max could cook amazing food while showing how these things came to be through history. A lot of history, a lot of cooking, and a WHOLE lot of 2 of my favorite YTers. Thumb up if you want something like this to happen, thumb down if you think it's a bad idea. (Bring in Sohla and Townsend, and that would make for a whole LOT of fun!) I'm sure others have their favorite regional or historical cooks, and collabs are fun
Chicago's Mexican food scene. From Rick Bayless to the dingiest taqueria in the worst neighborhood. Lemme tell you. Those taquerias are incredible. Been in quite a few. Nothing but Abuelas and Tias cooking.
I moves from Arizona and the mexican food here in portland is not as good. Its wonderful to find some new places to try. Im sure if I keep searching I will find those hidden gems here.
lol so random. I eat at amalia's all the time. The PNW has the best blend of foods, not just Mexican/Latin food. You can walk up to almost any food cart and get a solid meal.
Welcome to Portland! Thank you for highlighting the town even though the city is still a sht hole. There are better Latin restaurants in the suburbs, west side. Portland Mercado is one better ones in Portland proper.
There's a lot of good Mexican food outside of Portland in the suburbs (which is often overlooked) where most of us Latinos in the state reside.
El Jalisco is my favorite!
La Parrilla Kitchen 2 in Beaverton is by far my pick carne asada street tacos.
Negative. They don’t even know how to make a Torta. They use this huuuuuuge bread that I never seen in Mexico
He must be where only Latin x people go😂
@@gerardovillarreal4640 you mean white people,,

I love Amalia's response when Rick asks, "What is Mole?"
Mole is a sauce it’s a staple for Mexican culture. It usually goes over chicken.
When Rick led off with Tierra del Sol, I knew this would be an A-tier roundup! Their Tlayuda is absolutely the perfect warm-weather dish! If you are downtown, the owner of Las Cazuelas (food truck) reminds me so much of Amelia. She makes delicious Birria, and her tamales ALWAYS sell out (only available two days a week, but if you're nice, she'll set some aside for you)!
Amalia is both so thoughtful and savvy to make a vegetarian mole
I was stunned when she mentioned that! How lovely and delicious! ❤️❤️
Tierra del Sol is fantastic - I'm glad you enjoyed your time in PDX!
I live in Portland and I'm taking notes!
Absolutely delightful and a wonderful way to showcase passion filled food - from food truck to traditional restaurant setting. Thank YOU Rick and crew for bringing us along!
Welcome to the Northwest, Rick! Thank you for showing us these gems! Absolutely will search them out next time I'm in Portland 😋
I think you're amazing when I watch your videos of you cooking. But I think what you did today was extremely special, original and entertaining in the best way possible! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for showing Portland’s best Mexican food. Gracias Senior!
I live down the street from the mercado. It is just this awesome! Thanks for putting a good spin on Portland food!
Would happily watch hours of this!! Rick, you are such a kind presenter and highlighted these people and their food in a captivating way. Can’t wait to see more!
Been watching Portlandia so the b roll of the “keep Portland weird” sign really got me 😂
Considering the origin of the slogan, the meaning behind it is ironic.
Also, I love living in Portland but the words on the back of the club are very unassuming. Don’t visit it if you want keep the same feeling about it.
Great episode Rick, I gotta get back there to try that soup, it looked amazing! 💜🌲💜
This was an amazing video. We are up in Portland once or twice a year, we will definitely check these places out!! I’d watch a travel series with Rick showcasing restaurants all over the US. COME TO PHOENIX NEXT!!
Go to Casa Colima if you do visit. My hidden gem that has some of the best food and service
Ive eaten at 2 of the 4. Both were the food trucks on Foster. Great food and friendly people.
Thanks, Rick. Many Californians who moved to Oregon say, "There's no good Mexican food in Portland!" So thank you for shining a spotlight on some of the people making great food in our city.
That would be me! I'm Mexican and from SF. I still haven't found a place in Portland that I like, altho I have tried a few.
@@INFJparadox There's a difference between saying that you don't like Mexican food in Portland and saying that Portland doesn't have good Mexican food. I hope you don't fall into the latter category.
@@eamonnoski I know there is good Mexican food in Portland! I haven’t discovered a place I really like yet so I was glad to see this video
@@INFJparadox Highly recommended Ochoas Outdoor Mexican food in Hillsboro, Little Conejo in Vancouver Wa, Dos Mundos in Newberg. I'm from LA and took me bout 6 years to find these places that are remotely close to the taqueros back home!
Try tamale boy in Eliot neighborhood as well
My guy at the end! He is such a great chef, I’ve been a huge fan of his work and restaurants for a long time. I always support his places. His food is Culture, history and all!
Great segment of Portland food culture. I always enjoy seeing your delivery of great foods.
Thanks, Rick, for showing that Mexican is a Cuisine rather than stereotyped fast food.
Great video. Gracias.
I miss home! I never realized how great Mexican food there is in both Vancouver WA and Portland OR
I been in Portland all my life, Las Islas Marias on 82nd. My favourite Reustarant ever!!
I’m from Portland ! Live in LA but back next week and checking these out! Heard of a great mex place downtown can’t remember the name
When I lived in Portland, nothing beat the burritos and tamales at La Jarochita. I visit Portland a few times a year and I always take back a few burritos from La Jarochita, they're just too good.
What a great idea for a series! These places look absolutely delicious.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today ? Hope you had a great day at work?!.
Great show as always Rick, thank you. Haven't been to Portland in years but that has to change!
We had our anniversary dinner at Republica this past February and it was a phenomenal experience, best mole I've ever tasted.
I need to go to Güero-it’s not that far from here. Love a good torts.
Our food is so incredibly diverse. Food is love reminded me of Like Water for Chocolate 😊 Moved to Portland from SF two years ago and there are more Mexican vegan and vegetarian options here. Buen provecho!🥰
Yeah except Portland cannot make a burrito nearly as good as once in the SF mission.
@@pnourani Got that right! I grew up in the Mission back in the day 🙃
❤❤❤🎉❤🎉 This is great Rick !
Rick in my city! This was so fun and all of the conversations were so thoughtful.
That second to last spot is definitely my jam!! Hoooly
Thank you for highlighting some great food. I am looking forward to eating my wag through this list
Ricky great video! Thank you so much 🙏!! I'm so lucky to live in one of the best foodie cities on the planet. Thanks for featuring these terrific Mexican eateries.
I’m drooling 🤤 every time Rick takes a bites. This is torture…but I love it 🥰. Thx Rick for sharing and for me to move to Portland
Where is the bakery in Vancouver at?
It's probably one of the ones on 4th Plain Blvd
That’s right! It comes from Veracruz Taqueria and Bakery: veracruztaqueria.com/bakery.html
Amalia deserves her own show too. She is amazing!
Republica is amazing.
If you're in southeast PDX, go to Taqueria Taco Ramos. Her huaraches will make u cry. Sra Ramos has borrego and carne de chivo too!
There's also secret pupusa shack out here, but I'm not gonna tell you about it. It's secret.
hahaha! Is it Pupuseria Migueleña? That's the only one I have been to. Good, but other stuff like beans and rice not so good. The platanos and empanadas are yummy.
My first choices: #1 and the Burger ... and the dessert 😄🤤
Bon Appetit recently did a whole video highlighting Chef Angel and Republica, with him showing us what a day in the restaurant is like. It was really well done.
It was an honor to work with Chef Juan back in the days we go way back.
What pods (locations) are these trucks at?
The first two are at SE 72nd & Foster.
Wonderful!!!
Moved from Seattle to OKC in 2011 and love it here, great food and great people despite the politics of the state. I miss the PNW but not the weather!!!!
Rick!! Papacito ✨
I saw Choco for a split second. I'm so happy.
A lot of people don't know that taquerias often have absolutely fire burgers. Go on a hunt in your area and I think you'll find something you'll really like.
For more great Oaxacan food in portland proper - try Loncheria Los Mayas
Can we just talk about how much style Rick Martinez has my God I need this man's closet 😍
This is the first time I've been this early in the comments section hahahhah Great video as always! Rick is a DREAM
❤❤ amazing food. Thx Rick.
Hahahah I watched a version of this this morning very early before they added subtitles - so confused to see it posted again until the subtitles appeared!
COME TO TUCSON!!!

Please visit Providence RI or Poughkeepsie NY - we have great Mexican food!

HEY that looked like Powell Butte!
LOL if you come to Portland and you don't visit "Los Puńales Taqueria" you are missing something really good.
La Pulga is the REAL "Portland Mercado" and center of Mexican culture in Portland.
No better place for awesome food cart/truck dishes than Portland. Don't bother with sit-down restaurants. It's the food trucks that slap.
I’ve eaten in many different cities, I think Portland has the best food. I miss Andy Rickers Pok Pok though
Best Mexican food in Portland is found East of the 205
I live in Portland and can vouche Mexican is King here but a close second is Vietnamese
Eu gosrtei Saber ondje esta?
Oh you missed out by not hitting up taqueria los puñales. Best mole in town.
I moves from Arizona and the mexican food here in portland is not as good. Its wonderful to find some new places to try. Im sure if I keep searching I will find those hidden gems here.
Cali to Portland and I have to agree...not even close. But im hopeful I will find a go-to spot eventually.
omg this makes me so hungery, but all i can afford is taco bell 🤔🤔
It's me but is sweet heat released much less often nowadays?
You’re right about that! But lots of Rick coming soon.
I am not convinced this isn't Clint McElroy
lol so random. I eat at amalia's all the time. The PNW has the best blend of foods, not just Mexican/Latin food. You can walk up to almost any food cart and get a solid meal.
u were down the street from me.
I know all the best tacos in Portland 💯 check out la Katrina, taco express and taqueria Portland for a start. Thank me later 😅
Did I miss Rick in Portland?!?
OMG Meghan tried to kill Rick. How he didn't explode after eating all that is beyond amazing
Por Que No is the best in Portland. So good.
lol
Holy crap, there are a lot of adds on this channel.
You lost me at “Latin X” we don’t use that term 😂
Best mexican place in Portland Javier's Tacos
outrageous that Oswaldo Bibiano isnt covered in this
lil bro really said "LatinX" naaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Why say Latin X ?
I liked it fine without the subtitles
Every "latin" person I have ever talked to does not like the term "latin-X"
YES! Thank you!!!! Can't stand it
He literally only went to one location lol
You should really learn to use chapters so we can skip to each recommendation. We don’t all have 20 minutes 😅
Güero's website is the worst.
latinx isn't real
When the personality doesn't match the look😮
Portland is weird and unsafe !
Thumbs down for saying LatinX
rick stop saying si all teh time. say claro! or something argh
REPUBLICA is overhyped! $75 a plate and the rations are tiny! Next time go to Ochoas in Hillsboro
Dont be fooled. These carts are overpriced and overrated and are rarely cater to the Latino community which, over time, has compromised their quality.
Welcome to Portland! Thank you for highlighting the town even though the city is still a sht hole. There are better Latin restaurants in the suburbs, west side. Portland Mercado is one better ones in Portland proper.
"Ely's Rolling Grill" is the best truck in the west side and beyond. It's next to the Big Lots in Aloha. Solid tortas.
@@brittanybritton1735 I’ve been there and it’s great!
It’s well known that the best Latin restaurants are located on the east side suburbs of the city!
Portland? hahahaha tell anqueefa we're laughing at them.
You make a lot of sense, genius.
Every single time Portland is brought up geniuses like this come out of the shadows
Make sure and keep voting red you DF
@@trailblazer77 Already did. I voted early.
@@rareaardvark3504 thank you
And the little bit of stuff kids size plates.
You can't pay me enough to go to that dump!
Perfect! I’m sure they don’t want your ilk there anyway.😛
