Los Francos Taco Truck

$ 5 for a huge, super legit veggie burrito? Yes please.
Also, their green hot sauce is delicious.

Great food for a truck on a frontage road just off the side of the highway. I’ve been eating here at least once a week for the past year. All good food. Burritos and quesadillas are great. The small/​half tortas are huge. Try the torta Cubana that comes with everything on it. If Los Franco’s wasn’t here, my food options would be seriously limited. Thanks for being here year round.

This is definitely a workplace favorite for us poor souls working in the NW industrial district. I visit probably once a month and vary between ordering the tostadas and burritos – both are big and filling. I love Mexican places that use shredded (vs diced) chicken and this one does. Good portions, good flavors, good prices, fast service, what’s not to love?
Once I called on a Saturday to see if they are open weekend lunch times but no dice. Also the Unilocal location map was wrong and the first time I visited I almost ended up at Tubby’s instead. It’s between 29^th-​33^rd, after the stoplight and on the left in a frontage road/​parking lot if you are heading west.

Carnitas torta. I got the small, and it was huge. Not sure what a large could possibly be. Tacos were also great. Easy parking. Location was actually further west than on map.

They prowl the lots of Hwy 30, for souls seeking Asylum from Tubby’s deli.
The sight of this white taco truck, cruising the vast expanse of industrial parking lots for easy prey (customers), is a tribute to individual toil, enterprise, grit, and GANAS– to build irresistible quesadillas, tortas, tacos y burritos! Ay mama! It is a blessed sight indeed, almost like a mirage, boiling on the desert horizon, in an area forlorn and nearly destitute of anything edible, like the blasted hellish steppes of Russia, or the Mojave.
What’s not to love about the menu crafted w/​lovin’ expertise by the Los Franco Boys? They will make your soul-​crushing existence of endless, thankless drudgery seem a little more bearable, no question. Forget religion, this comida de los cielos is the one true opiate of the masses, certainly not religion! (the nearly complete irreligiosity of Portland should be sufficient testament to this assertion). Had Marx lived to ever experience the unbridled joy of Mexican tapas, such as presented sin esfuerzo by Los Franco— Das Kapital and his kooky Manifesto would have been entirely different reads, causing a dramatically different effect, worldwide. A somewhat different history would have unfolded; the revolution of 1917, overthrowing the CZAR, would have led to miles-​long lines awaiting excellent mexi-​meals, as presented by Los Franco!– instead of boring old stale bread and black-​market tater moonshine…
Ok, admittedly, this is a bit of a dream world of which I speak. But what’s to say? The Goodness experienced and inspired by Los Franco emboldens the spirit and frees the mind. Try a crunchy –shelled taco, the fajitas in any form you can think of (I love the seafood, when available, and as always, the steak burritos con muchas cebollas). Viven Los Franco!
Revisionist History brought to you by the succulent savories of (you guessed it) Los Franco!!!

I had one of the best Tortas today. I ordered the Carnitas torta and it was huge! It tasted incredible and was enough for two meals. I cannot believe I have not tried this before. I will be a regular at this spot. MMMMMMMMMMMM!

Dear Baby Jesus,
Thank you for situating this taco truck so close to my work, as there is nothing else besides a McDonald’s.
Also, thank you so much for blessing the Mexican (I can say this as I am Mexican myself) with such adequate cooking abilities especially given the fact he’s cooking in the back of a truck.
Lastly, thank you for making the people who priced these fine foods ignorant, because I would absolutely pay twice what is listed to indulge in these delicious Mexican fares.

Good place to stop in and get a quick taco, not the best truck in the city but not the worse either.

Los Francos has the best bean, cheeses and rice burritos I’ve ever had. I take friends there, and they’re impressed. I wish I could give a more accurate address, but he’s in the neighborhood from 11:30 until about 2-​something every weekday with awesome food.
The map doesn’t show it well, but he’s on the frontage road from NW 35^th to NW 31^st every business weekday.
He makes the best Mexican food in Portland. I really don’t really want to share this, but he’s that damned good. It’s just a taco truck, but it’s the best taco truck in Portland.
