"Specializing in Mexico City street fare, this food cart turned brick and mortar on Alberta layers Three Sisters Nixtamal corn tortillas with red rice, meatless guisados, almond-soy sour cream, and scratch-made, extra smooth salsas. The chipotle-braised jackfruit and caramelized onion tinga, garlicky mushrooms, fried tofu chicharrón, and jackfruit suadero tacos are some of Chilango’s highlights, alongside the esquites corn salad with house almond queso fresco. The taqueria is bright and airy with lucha libre-themed decor, including flowy curtains depicting luchador cats. Since opening the shop, owner Vanessa Arochi has added other snacks to the menu, such as hojaldrita sliders, refried bean sopecitos, and even a mini quesadilla and salsa flight." - Waz Wu

Very hard to find vegan Mexican food in Denver! So coming to PDX and trying Chilango was a delight. The food was incredible and the owner has such genuine and magnetic energy!

Finding a vegan Mexican place was a dream come true and Chilango’s flavors and service did not disappoint! The tacos with Chorizo con papas were 🔥 and the sopes were also very good. They have filling options with tofu so you can actually get some good protein content (💪) unlike other vegan places where protein doesn’t seem to be a consideration and jackfruit is the only avenue. Vanessa was so kind and friendly and really made us feel welcome! :) If you’re on the fence, stop by and experience some great vegan food. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Chilango and Vanessa! :)

Best vegan tacos in Portland.... And maybe the US too. We come here a few times every few weeks to catch our taco fix. The taco flavors and fillings are so amazing and inventive. My favorites are the pumpkin seed mole, jackfruit tinga, and hibiscus. Their blue corn quesadilla with extra filling is amazing too. Each item is like a good snack and pretty affordable. Don't miss out if you're in the Alberta neighborhood!

It has been three months since my visit to Portland, and I still remember this meal vividly. It is no secret that Mexican restaurants tend to offer menus based around either land animals or seafood. Finding Chilango shows the range Mexican cuisine has without any meat and without any apology or attempts to mimic what is seen as traditional. The flavors are varied and offer options that are sure to make anyone happy. I look forward to eating there again.

Food is one of the best vegan options. Spices were good and things were very flavorful. Just don't come here expecting the "meat" to taste like meat. One thing I would change is to have them reduce the citrus in the tacos and instead give lime on the side so you can control how sour some of the tacos were. Some are a bit more sour than one would typically expect.

This place is what vegan dreams are made of. The food was phenomenal! So much flavor packed into their tacos! We loved every bite and their staff were super friendly! This is a most stop for vegans in Portland! Also, the horchata is amazing, super refreshing on a hot day!

Visiting from Chicago, wanted to try another vegan place in Portland before leaving. Had the 4 taco special (tinga, chicharron, chorizo and suadero). All were great but suadero was favorite! Thank you!

Super friendly staff and great music make for an excellent experience. The sopes were incredibly flavorful and the Jamaica perfectly tart.
