Santo Domingo Taqueria

Went with the Chilaquiles with Carne Asada today. Never been here before. Super delicious! Good job on asada. Can’t wait to try everything in menu.

Stopped here because it was a few miles from the hotel i was staying at and it was a good choice! They serve fresh food and quick.
I had the enchiladas verdes and it comes with 2 enchiladas, rice and beans. It had a lot of flavor and had a little kick. Maybe too much sour cream. If you in the area give it a try!

Terrible Fish Taco mostly breading, no sauce, refried beans very runny and flavorless, Guacamole was more like green crème soup, chips fired and very hard. Would not go back.

Had a random craving for a tostada and rice and beans, stopped by right before closing, and the food was fresh and quick. Service was quick and with a smile, considering I showed up right before closing is a nice change in pace. Everytime I have stopped in, the food has been delicious. And on Saturdays, I believe they make their own tortillas.

Been twice. Tacos decent but very small. Burritos not so great. Lots of tortilla and refried beans (and the beans aren’t good) which overpower the burrito. The pics of the plates and enchiladas look ok so maybe I’ll try those if I go in again.

We love this place! The carnitas and enchiladas verdes is definitely worth the drive from other side of town.

clean and quick, but the flavors are a little bland for my taste. i like to have my face burned off with salsa! however, awesome prices and portions and a SOLID place to stop by for a meal

There are 3 Mexican restaurants in a row on 42^nd & killingsworth an this is the only one I’ll go to. The hardshell tacos are legit, and there isn’t a better breakfast burrito in town.

Stop here on my lunch break and had a delightful meal. It looks like a family-​owned business that serves fresh food.
I had the pulled pork tacos which were delicious. I will stop by here next time I’m in the area. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

Very authentic and very flavorful! They are also quite reasonably priced.

best taqueria in NE portland. the tacos are amazing, really good carnitas and al pastor. also if you are feeling decadent, then try the super nachos… superb!

My husband and I are from San Diego and LOVE baja taco shops. This is 100% compatible and worth checking out. Rolled tacos (not flautas) and breakfast burritos are G-​O-​O-​D!

there are these guys and then right across the street their direct competition Olé Frijole. they offer pretty much the same products at the same prices so i’ve been going to both now for about a year. and to be perfectly honest… i haven’t decided which is my favorite yet. these guys have a more broad menu with lots of good additions where as the other place is more traditional and straight to the point. they both have all the expected sides and sauces and those are all amazing.
i’ll keep supporting both as they are local and lovely family businesses.

I was really stoked on this place since Olé Frijole has terrible customer service. The burritos are not as good as Olé Frijole but at least I was getting good customer service. Until one day…
I ordered a couple burritos to go, went home and started eating mine. Took a nice big bite and felt something very hard in my mouth. I spat it out and discovered a rock. Yes, a ROCK! In my burrito! I took the rock into the restaurant and told them what happened. Guy working there asked what burrito it was. I told him it was a breakfast burrito. I told him I’d be getting in to see my dentist to make sure none of my fillings cracked. He said «okay.» No apology, no attempt at making it right. So… NOT RECOMMENDED!

Solid tacos. Great choices on meat. I got my usual of lengua, which I get at any new taqueria I go to. I also got pastor and beef fajita. One was done up traditionally with onions and cilantro, the others had sour cream and one had a creamy guacamole as well. Everything was moist and all had really good flavor.
Three sauces to choose from. A really nice green sauce. A standard red that wasn’t spicy and an habanero sauce that was good but a bit liquidy. They also had some pickled veggies with jalapenos, carrots and onions. Really mild but tasted great. There were several food items that I didn’t know, or at least never heard of, and I’ll be curious to find out about them. Lots of other items I did know. Burritos, tortas, enchiladas and steak dishes. Tacos were only $ 1.75 a pop. Great price.
I wanted to get a taco platter ($ 6.99), three tacos plus rice and beans, but they would only let you choose one meat. I thought that odd. I also got a horchata, which was ok but a bit watery.
That’s all.

Delicious, traditional, fresh, and reasonably priced. The hot sauces are all tasty and plenty hot, and the corn tortillas are homemade. I will be driving across town to go here.

I recently tried Santo Domingo Taqueria after driving by it for years. Being from central California, I crave good Mexican food and am always on the hunt to find a place that can provide that.
I had a Pastor taco which was the best one that I have had outside of Mexico. I also had shredded beef enchiladas and the meat was incredibly tender and flavorful.
I don’t know what took me so long to try this place out. They cook really good food, they are nice and the place was super clean.

Let me first just put this disclaimer our there. I have ridiculously high standards for burritos. I lived in San Diego for 19 years and I experienced what I believe to be some of the best Mexican food in the world. That being said, I had completely given up on Mexican food in Portland until I came here. This was literally a life changing experience for me because now I can have my favorite foods, prepared in my favorite ways. No joke, my carne asada burrito tasted like my childhood. The only bad thing is that I’m going to be wasting way too much money here over the next few years.

I’ve had A LOT of tacos, but these may be the best I’ve ever had. I stopped in on a whim, because they advertised homemade tortillas, and decided to sample their taco wares. I ordered an al pastor taco and a carnitas taco.
As I waited, I filled up a paper bowl with condiments from their mini-​bar (pickled jalapenos, roasted whole jalapenos, and limes), and grabbed squeeze-​bottles of red and green salsa, both of which were were flavorful and fairly spicy.
The tacos were reasonably sized, not the micro tacos I see so often around Portland. Both fillings were quite ample and very flavorful, but the star of the show was the tortilla. I was expecting the standard, thin doubled corn tortillas, but what I got was a single, thicker hand-​made tortilla. It wasn’t so thick that it was a gordita, but it wasn’t so thin and dry that it broke when I loaded up with salsa.
We were so impressed that we ordered more food — this time a machaca burrito. The burrito’s tortilla was not as exciting – pretty standard, though properly sized, and wonderfully elastic, with excellent, meaty, squishy, unusual filling. We also ordered a dozen hand-​made tortillas to take home (for $ 3). They make them to order, so it takes 15 minutes, and they’re warm when you get them. I highly recommend this place, and will stop in whenever I’m in the area.

The Chilaquiles earns this Green hued dive a Four Star. This dish seems to taste different wherever you get it, but the sauce at Santo is better than anywhere I’ve experienced. Price to portion is more than fair.
The Huevos Rancheros was above average, factor-​in the huge portion and it’s a deal. What is a slight miss are the refried beans. Usually an after thought, they are to watery for my liking; I prefer them paste-​like. Likewise, the rice is just average.
The breakfast burrito is standard for a Mexican place, but about $ 1 more than what you get at one of many food carts. Santo offers three types of hot sauces. Their pickled Jalapeño selection is a little weak. Service is neutral and parking is easy.
