Kaah Carniceria

Great market in a larger space than when they were located in the Portland Mercado. The atore is full of Mexican canned and dried products, fresh produce, tortillas and decorative items. The owner is very friendly.

I absolutely adore the family that runs Kaah Carniceria, they are amazingly kind. I have eaten their food at there location and at several events. If you want delicious Guatemalan food and support wonderful people, then definitely shop there. If you catch them somewhere severing their Pupusas, don’t miss the chance on having the best in the Portland area. ❤️

So happy this place exists give them all the love give them all your money this is the place they have the best crema and the refried black beans are to die for

Love this grocery. They have Wonderful tamales, pickled onions and great guacamole! So many candies. I get fresh tortillas, fresh salsas and the above mentioned items. Sweet and knowledgeable staff- highly recommend. Been going here for years.

One of the best refuges of Latinx culture in Portland. I regularly shop here to feed myself and others in my community. It's owned by a wonderful, kind, hardworking Guatemalan couple. After the Portland Mercado evicted them (without reason or an opportunity to negotiate), the owners were able to relocate just down the street to this location. They deserve the world, and now that they're no longer being price-gouged, they can achieve what they came to this country to do, which is sell food and other goods and build up their community.

I come here about once a month, and wish it was more often. Their to-go carnitas, rice, beans, tamales and huge selection of fresh salsas and cheese have saved me/our dinner plans more than once, and my family lives off of that food for days. I cannot thank them enough for making beans and rice my kids’ favorite meal. Their new location is huge with all kinds of Latin-American food and faire, and tons of ingredients that better cooks than I will love for their favorite recipes. Run, don’t walk!

Thank you for helping to make our son and I's Birthday dinner special by having that very nice homemade Lard for the Carnitas we made, and your homemade tortillas that your wife made was extra complimentary! Thank you for being in our neighborhood! You are Diamonds!! Sincerely The Peabody Family💜🤗💜

This place just moved to its new location across from Mt. Scott Fuel, having previously been at the Mercado a few blocks up Foster. The super kind and sweet owner asked me to help get the word out. What I can say is they have all kinds of productos Latinos, especially Mexican and Peruvian goods. They make and package fresh guacamole, yellow rice, black bean, and salsas 3x a week. The guacamole is outstanding. My nephews ate up the beans and rice in one sitting. This rice is not the stuff you get from Portland Mexican carts and restaurants. Try it, it is special. And the salsas are very, very good as well. I bought frozen chiles amarillos, frozen yuca and a type of dry red bean, fat and round, that is never seen before… these Peruvian products, I think. Last night I made a bean and yuca stew that was so, so good, with products I rarely or never see elsewhere. They sell giant 14” flour tortillas that you’d need to make a cart-style burrito. I’ve not seen these anywhere but in a much larger store in Gresham, 25-30 minutes away. Oh and their Mexican cheese. Try the queso Oaxaca en tiras with chipotle. Never seen this before. Now this cheese a 10 minute walk from me. I’ve bought two packages this week because my nephews also gobbled this up the day I bought it. One more thing: the owner said in 6 months they should have an in store kitchen/hot food counter. I can’t wait. There is a lot of bad Mexican food in Portland, or Maine I’m being unfair and the word I’m looking for is meh, or boring. Okay this is a lot… I’m excited and I selfishly need this business to thrive in its new location because I need these beans, chiles, yuca, guacamole, salsas and cheeses to be in my neighborhood, forever. And the outrageously nice and friendly owners. We have plenty of boutiquey businesses on Foster and we could use some salt of the earth ones. Please visit and support this place. -Josh in FoPo
