Everywhere I go I hear people virtually complaining about how many great new restaurants keep popping up in Portland. This is a dilemma? I say, bring ’em on!

The other night a friend told me to get ready and that he was taking me to a mystery spot. When we arrived at Por qué No? on SE Hawthorne he said I could now stop complaining that the best tacos were served from the “roach coaches.” And I have.

Por qué No? has nine varieties of tacos (including calamari and porque tinga, my favorite), mucho grande salads, inventive vegetarian choices, the best guacamole I’ve ever tasted and housemade tortilla chips. And after a couple of pint-sized margaritas I wobbled out one happy señorita.

They also have a location on N Mississippi. Visit one or both, but visit Por qué No? you must.

Hasta la vista,
Emily
