Mesa Grande Taqueria · East End
A taqueria by name and format on Fore Street, Mesa Grande Taqueria makes its own tortillas and fillings in house rather than leaning on its mix-and-match counter format, a system that could read as chain dining if the food weren't made with care.
Taco Trio · South Portland
A South Portland taco fixture in Knightville, Taco Trio has long been a locals' favorite and reopened in its original spot in 2025 with a bigger space and a wider menu, still built around the tacos that made its name in the first place.
Restaurante El Corazón · Downtown
El Corazon runs a State Street menu that stretches from tacos to a bacon-wrapped Sonoran hot dog, the Mexican-state-of-Sonora creation dressed in Chihuahua cheese and refried beans that landed the restaurant in a Portland Press Herald hot dog roundup, even though tacos remain the everyday order.
