Tienda Santa Cruz

Mexican restaurant · St. Johns

@eater

"Officially a panaderia featuring house-baked sweet breads, Tienda Santa Cruz feels more like a mercado, thanks to the aisles of Mexican provisions and colorful piñatas throughout the shop. The real secret is the cafeteria-style taqueria in the back, where you’ll find some of Portland’s most heavenly tacos, burritos, tostadas, and more. Signs peppered throughout the space detail the restaurant’s strict limits on its zingy sauces, but be sure to try the pastor tacos with as much of the obsession-inducing red sauce as the rules allow." - Kara Stokes
