Real tacos in this town! Real tacos that aren't $15 for a single street taco! Personable service with good attention to detail (i.e no onions plz, or no cilantro...) It's a food cart with covered seating. The covered structures could definitely benefit from a re-build to be cozier, warmer/cooler, and befitting the quality of the tacos+vibe. Unlike other food carts this has a very stand alone vibes: So, no random people hanging out for other foods/ reasons/ purposes (strong + for me). Also there are several seating sections which makes it great for a date and/or larger group due to separate acoustic environments (big +).

I should have taken a picture of the food but it was so delicious it did not last long! The chicken flautas, asada and pastor tacos were my favorite! So juicy, not greasy and fresh tortillas. This is the most authentic Mexican food I've had in my 9 years of living in Portland. I'm from the Bay Area so I'm picky about my Mexican food and this was FIIIIIRE! The food wasn't the only good thing out of our visit. Lisa, the owner, is truly the sweetest woman. She remembered a funny story about my partner from 10 years ago. We will definitely be coming more often. 10/10

Torta de pastor was 10/10. It was so flavorful, huge, and packed with everything that a torta should be packed with and the bolillo bread was toasted on the comal to perfection! The only negative is the eating space looked a little neglected and could have used a cleaning, but the food itself is 10/10

I go to this place once a week. Authentic Mexican tacos anything better than I've had in LA or Miami. Prices are as delicious as the food. The meat is juicy as hell and the tortillas are so damn fresh. I can say more but I'm in love with this place

Have been in search of some killer tacos in Portland. I'm so glad to have found Quesabrosa. Their tacos are my absolute favorite in Portland. They make two hand pressed tortillas per taco, which are loaded with meat, onions, and cilantro. The carnitas are divinely crispy and juicy. Their sopes are delicious, on the larger side as well. Their salsas are incredible and the red really brings the heat. Their beans and rice hit as well. Also, I believe who is the owner, is typically there with another Tia in the back, throwing down in their small kitchen. They are truly such sweet people that make banging food.

This place was incredibly underrated. Do not sleep on this place! My sister and I were in the area to run an errand and wanted to grab lunch before we did. We parked around the corner from Loa, but we were hit with amazing smells. We followed the aroma to Quesabrosa, which was a food truck across the street. Maybe because I was hangry, but I was antsy on getting my food. I felt it took a while to make our food (more than 5 minutes to just make tacos), but I could see the love that went into making the food. Everything was made from scratch. Case and point: their hard taco shells, which were excellent by the way. They don't use store bought taco shells! Quesabrosa legit deep fried their tortillas in the shape of the shells, and they came out so crunchy. My sister ordered the al pastor in the hard taco shells, and I was lightweight jealous that I didn't order it. I got a fish taco and a veggie taco, and they were great. I could tell their tacos were made-to-order, the produce tasted so fresh, and the flaky, tender fish was lightly pan fried.

Had three tacos (steak, chicken, and carnitas). They were all good and meat quality was nice to where it didn't have much fat or gristle. Cart has a multiple spots to sit with some heated indoors and a little back patio. Both red and green salsa are really good. The tortillas were nice and didn't fall apart which was impressive.

Quesabrosa is where it's at! Their fish taco is honestly one of the best I've ever tasted. Their handmade tortillas are to die for and the seasoning they use on the fish is mouth watering. The Veggie Sope was hearty and loaded with toppings. I definitely couldn't finish the two items I ordered. I was hoping for a tad more flavor on the Sope, but overall it was great! Service was so friendly and welcoming!
