Where is the Best Mexican Food in Portland, Oregon?
Hmmm…When does being a nurse make someone a food expert? Oh, and growing up on Taco Bell doesn’t make you a Mexican food expert either. I have eaten at Taqueria Nueve a million times, and I have to say, the guys at Taqueria Nueve know what they are doing in that kitchen. If you go out to dinner and expect to have your culo kissed like a spoiled princess, don’t bother going to Taqueria Nueve.
