Richi’s Tacos

I like the pastor tacos, they are everything you expect and hope for in a pastor street taco. Thinking about giving their burrito a try.
These are seriously yummy, and authentic tacos. They are also always open, it seems.

If you’re looking for a quick bite of authentic Mexican in Beaverton, this is a great choice. This is no Chipotle so set your expectations for some legit and delicious grill-​style food rather than an Americanized menu. (During my lunchtime visit, I was the only gringo amongst a steady stream of Hispanic patrons.)
The lengua burrito I ordered tasted fresh and was a solid serving for $ 7 (cash only). (Be warned that lengua is beef tongue. This may not be everyone’s cup of tea…) It came out in just a few minutes and had a solid fill of beans, potatoes and tomatoes plus a few other vegetables. The homemade salsa (in a katsup style bottle) was excellent and finished off the burrito perfectly.
If you’re willing to deal with the fact that this truck is in the parking lot of pretty rough apartments and has limited amenities, it’s a solid lunch choice for authentic grill-​style Mexican.

We were at Joann’s & one too many craft decisions that should have been played out in my head but wasn’t later… A was bordering on hangry. I could feel it.
Unilocaling the closest well starred place landed us just a parking lot away at Richi’s.
With cash on hand being our max spending limit, we went with the hurache with pastor, chicken torta, 1 asada taco, and 1 lengua taco. The lady was on the phone when she took our order. It was a bit awkward because it felt like we were interrupting. The food came out pretty quickly and the chairs filled up with teenagers from the max station across the street ordering tortas.
We scarfed it down and dodged a hangry bullet. There also weren’t any napkins so I had to be dainty with my taco handling. Afterwards, we realized it was good, but better can be had at Taqueria Santa Cruz or even Taco Del Sol.

It’s the first really cold, rainy night we’ve had in months, so a pal wants to know if I want to have some tacos. I’m game, so off we go. I admit to being a little startled when we pull into the spot near an apartment complex, wondering in what restaurant the tacos are located because I sure can’t see anything else. But, boom, I turn my head and there’s the food truck, and I might add a very nice-​looking and super clean food truck.
These tacos are worth waiting for in any weather. I had carnitas, pastor, and asada, nice assortment, wonderfully tasty, beautifully fresh ingredients, nicely cooked and prepared, and what a price, $ 1.25 a pop. I love the serving size: just a few bites of deliciousness, nothing too huge. You really don’t need huge honking portions of anything when it is this well prepared, because it will satisfy you and thus you will not want to stuff yourself. The green sauce is just perfect for dotting over the tops of the tacos and then a squeeze of fresh lime is the great finishing touch. The proprietor is a very nice gentleman who works calmly and steadily. They have some interesting other choices like lengua and cabeza tacos as well, and also have Mexican sodas.
BTW, it’s cash only.
I will very definitely be back because I’ve been really craving some tacos like this. I hope you visit as well and discover what a find Richi’s Taco Truck is for everybody.

Been do’in Richi’s for years. Best cart on the west coast. Fresh, delicious, well prepared food. The cabeza anything rocks. And reasonable.

This might be the best taco truck in Portland but it’s definitely the best taco truck in Beaverton. Their carnitas and pastor tacos are my favorite. One of those places that I wish wasn’t so far from where I live for sure.

Big time fan, always have been. THe family and I have been comiing here for years. You can’t beat $ 1.50 tacos. Also, when I went there the other weel, I bought 6 tacos. The price should have been $ 9.00 I was thinking but it was $ 7.50 — so I think the guy gives special deals whenn you buy in bulk. Keep up the good work, love you guys!

Their tacos are only $ 1.25 and they are good sized! The habanaro hot sauce on the table has great flavor and isn’t too spicy. This is definately a value spot.

Richi’s is my favorite taco cart by a long shot. I assume that they have a restaurant somewhere in Hillsboro, but I have never been to it.
The cart is in the parking lot of a seedy-​looking apartment complex right across the street from the Beaverton Transit Center. They recently remodeled their space so there are now parking spaces right in front of it. The cart also has a table with an umbrella and some chairs but most of the time it is either rainy and wet or I just get my food to go.
My favorite thing to get are the carnitas and pastor tacos. They come standard on two little tortillas with onion and cilantro. The carnitas is always lean and always moist. It is not crispy, but other then that, it is pretty much perfection. The pastor is done well so that it is flavorful but not TOO sweet.
This cart also makes delicious sopes, tortas, and burritos. They generally have four different bottles of sauce. The green being my personal favorite. Honestly, it varies a bit day-​to-​day but on a good day it packs a good punch! They have the standard Jarritos and other bottles beverages. They also have flan in their cold case which I’ve tried once and it seems a bit to… custardy for my tastes.
Richi’s is a solid place to get a quick bite. It has a good central location (if you are in Beaverton) and is open fairly late. It always feels like a good alternative to fast food past 9 PM. Oh and so you know, this place is cash only.
