"East Portland’s loss is Creston-Kenilworth’s gain with the 2022 relocation of one of Portland’s favorite taco spots. Portlanders residing west of I-205 too rarely venture east to eat, but for two decades Tortilleria y Tienda de Leon’s word of mouth grew on the strength of its chewy tortillas and phenomenal guisados. Peer into the deli case to decide which guisado option fits the mood: tender puerco verde, spicy bistec de res roja, tangy cochinta pibil, among others. Catering packages are available for a crowd-pleasing party-in-a-box. Vegetarian options include cactus and zucchini. Seating inside the small restaurant and grocery is limited — outdoor tables are covered and heated." - Nathan Williams
