È Taqueria Nueve • 28 N.E. 28th Ave. on’t he fooled by the upscale renovations: The bigger, more beautiful Taqueria Nueve is as marvelous and inexpensive as it was when it seated only 20 at a time. Everything is fresh and original here. The Caesar salad with ceviche is so gcxxJ, you’ll want it every time, and the tacos are simple hut delicious. The beef soup with com dumplings and the mole enchi ladas pack mouthfuls of flavor, and the stuffed chile pepper never disappoints. In fact, nothing disappoints here, and everyone knows it: You will always wait. But it’s worth it when you’re waiting for the best Mexican fcxxi in town. Order the freshest squeezed, most delicious margarita you’ll ever taste while you’re waiting. You’re in for quite a treat. D Featuring • •• S coeet 0 : 1 - 2:100100 ww he most remarkable feature of this Alberta Street fixture is that you can get a lot of f(xxJ for less than $5. A lot. The soft tosta- da here is really like a giant burrito: an over sized flour tortilla stuffed with pinto beans, rice, lettuce, tomato and cheese. Smother it with La Sirenita’s homemade red sauce and you’ll he full for the rest of your life. The tacitos are authentic, small com tortillas topped with meat, onions and fresh lime, and there arc always gcxxJ homemade soups on hand. If you’re on a tight budget hut don’t want to set tle for a less-than-decent meal, stop off at this hustling hole in the wall. It’s always packed with workers, students, hipsters and anyone else looking for gcxxl, cheap, homemade food. T edam am e j hy spend your time trying to pronounce it when you can just go there? Its bigger, better and easier to find in its new-ish location on Belmont, across from Wild Aban don. But if you’re looking for a burrito, don’t bother. Burritos, according to LCC, are an invention of the border region, not Mexico. Instead, this place serves up quesadillas, tacos, salads and lots of specialty items. Try the mole with blackberries, served with chicken, rice, pear and tortillas, or the grilled pork loin and mushrooms with black chile sauce, almonds, rice and tortillas. Wash either down with a Spicy Vampire— tequila, spicy sangría and lime juice— or a Chaay Can (Green Snake)— gin, avocado, lime juice and mint with a rim of sugar. It’s a little pricier than most Mexican joints, hut with food and drinks as original as these, it’s money well spent. n.D -D ish.nm a (?u ¿A ¿*te The Elegant Side of Thai Food 31 3 3 N { Broadw ay, Portland 1 3 0 4 f .
