Taqueria 2 Portrillos

This is definitely my new goto for Mexican Food. Large selection of meats. With Carne Asada, Pollo, Carnitas, Buche, Chicaron, Chorizo & Al Pastor on freshly made tortillas in tacos, mulitos, tortas, huaraches or burritos. Sounds like standard fare for Mexican food. Besides the great selection, the meats are the best I’ve tasted. All the other ingredients are made fresh all day. I’ve been there for lunch and dinner on a weeknight and on the weekends. They always keep the condiments fresh and clean, you can taste the difference. Salsas are very flavorful with varying degrees of heat.
Ordering starts with the gentlemen preparing the food and ends at the cashier. My only suggestion would be to have the cashiers take the orders. The cashier ladies seem to be more customer service oriented and are bilingual. The men are friendly enough but present barriers for non-​Spanish speakers while they are trying to juggle cooking and taking orders. Other than that, I would have given 5 stars.

The pros-​they service you fairly quick, the agua fresca are delicious, and the buffet area is always stacked full with condiments. The cons are that they can easily get confused with orders, meat can lack flavor, and if you get the torta they can over toast your bread. In more than one occasion they made me wait for food because they forgot to prepare it or another server took over the order and they didn’t know who it had belonged too that they tossed it. It’s not a place I visit often but it’s okay.

Very satisfied with the food and fruit drinks yum! If I can eat there everyday I would lol

Absolutely love their food. Everything we have ordered has been delicious. Great customer service, always looking to please the customers.

This is by far one of the best places to get tacos they also make the tortillas in front of you that’s how fresh it is.

Went in and the food is pretty good. 1 thing they didn’t add was avocado to the torta we ordered and it shows that it’s supposed to.
The burritos are fantastic and very tasty.
The fresh fruit water they have is also amazing!
One thing they lack is costumer service! For that reason I won’t be back. First off I am Hispanic and I speak the language but I ordered in English which seemed to bother them. They were rude and when I asked to see the manager he says he didn’t speak English?!! Really your running a restaurant and don’t speak English? We had coupons they didn’t want to honor either and they were all very rude about it almost like we were trying to rip the place off or something.
I definitely won’t be going back here. If they can get better management and staff I might think about going back. What A shame great food and terrible service!

Lo recomiendo 100% la atencion Del personal Es muy profecional, la limpieza Del lugar Es acorde a la hingiene, su comida y jugo llenaron mis espectativa.

I stopped here today and grabbed 3 tacos and here is what i think:
Asasa: Was probably the best one of the three. But i believe it lacked flavor.
Chicken: Tender but a little on the dry side. Flavor was okay.
Chicharon: Too mushy. Flavor was good.
The best part was the tortillas. They make them on the spot!

The food here is always great. The staff is friendly. Have always been treated well and left full. Good value for the price.

This place is authentic, clean, fresh, extremely tasty and has awesome customer service. No, I don’t work there, I was just blown away after visiting. My friend invited me to get tacos from a neighborhood taqueria… I did not expect to have my food made right in front of me with the freshest ingredients and friendliest faces. They were making the tortillas for my taco as I was speaking. The fresh juice bar has to be my favorite part of the place it’s so beautiful and colorful. As if this wasn’t enough to for an amazing experience, the salsa bar was full of so many options! Everything looked fresh as well. I love the entire concept of this place. I love that you watch your food being made and have it by the time you’re done paying. Check it out and appreciate the great attitude from all the staff.

As a Mexican I approve the tacos! The carne asada actually looks like carne asada!!! Finally found a good taco place in Moreno Valley

Terrible, stop there cause I was craving tacos seen the great reviews! ! Tacos were cold due to them having the meat in warmers, really? The salsas weren’t tasty at all! Cheese wasn’t even melted on the Quesadillas & mulita, and he throw the cheese on the grill then throw the tortilla over it!

Sorry for the 3 stars but has nothing to do with the taste of the food. I wasnt so happy with the service. Feels like a school cafeteria where you need to order quickly and they in a rush. By the time you pay and get your condiments your food is cold.

This place serves Real Mexican Food. The Tacos, Burritos, Tortas, Mulitas, Salsas and the Agua Frescas are ALL good! When you come here be prepared to order as if you were in Mexico or Baja. (Yell out your order and keep moving). The service is fast as well and the place is clean. Will most def keep coming back. They also have a section that makes fruit Shakes, fruit snacks and the famous tostilocos. I gave them 4 stars bcuz they don’t sell Beer and that is the ONLY reason.

This place is all hype! The food is not that great, their «tacos» are literally the size of the palm of my hand. The lines here are ridiculous. Save your money go elsewhere, there’s plenty other taco places in Moreno Valley.

Horrible service. I was in line for 20 minutes which I don’t mind and it was my turn why does he skip me when ordering let I was not there. after he took the guy behide me. order first. He was gonna skip me again and I asked if I was next. And he said ok. he talked to
Spanish I polighty said I didn’t know. Spanish and gave a look like he was disgusted then I keep asking for different food. He started talking to the guy next to him and then both looked at me and laughed mind you he was talking in Spanish
I will never go back there after being treated like that

This is the best!!! I didn’t realize that they had another location in Mo Val. It’s still the same great tasting food. And now close by where I live. Happy days. There goes my cholesterol levels.

I looove their cabesa tacos, the best I’ve ever had!!!
You walk in and they make the tacos in front of u, once their plated u walk to the salsa bar (with so many different options) they even have guacamole free!!!
Definitely recommend this place!!! Bomb tacos at an affordable price!!!

This place is awesome! The bf and I were on our way back from Palm Springs and he has told me about this place but I am never in the MoVal area so I was so excited to give this place a try! When I walked in I was so overwhelmed with joy seeing the salsa bar (best part IMO). A lot of places have become very stingy with salsa so it was nice being able to try any one I wanted! Also, their guacamole is FREE!
The style of this restaurant is cafeteria style. They have a generous amount of tables for everyone. They offer a large amount of aguas frescas including pineapple, cucumber, horchata, cantaloupe, and others!
Their tortillas are homemade and you will not be disappointed. Their asada and al pastor have excellent flavor. They are greasy just fyi but who doesn’t like greasy tacos?!
Overall I had a wonderful experience here but I am sad they do not have a location closer to me. Please open one in the SGV area!!! Not a lot of authentic taco joints!

I walked in here wanting to like this place. My gf wanted to try it for a very long time, since every time we drove past it there was a very long line. Long line with many people means good food right? Well… I walked out hating this place more than Justin Bieber and Niki Minaj combined. Ill explain why.
First off, this place is so GODDAMN LOUD. Any authentic mexican joint you walk into will be loud, no doubt, but this place was on an entirely different level. The guys at the meat counter, for whatever reason, liked banging their cleavers against the counter as hard as they could and they did this every 30 seconds. It was so loud we couldn’t hear each other talk, literally not one word. It was like having a conversation at a concert, a very shitty concert. I got the impression the guys doing it thought they were being funny or amusing. I wasn’t amused at all. I’ve cut meat before, you’re way overdoing it guys. When its finally your turn you have to scream your order at the top of your lungs, the whole process was just very
stupid. I’ve never encountered this level of noise at any eating establishment before in my life.
Lets talk about the food. When I go somewhere like, say, tijuanas tacos, ill order carne asada and they will throw it on the grill right there while I wait, and I get some hot, juicy meat that tastes fresh. These guys just have everything waiting in metal trays for god knows how long. This was the first of many bad signs. Another thing I didn’t like was the cafeteria style ordering process. My gf got her chicken tacos before I got my carne asada, and they just sat on the tray getting cold while I waited for my burrito which came out several minutes later.
So its time to find a seat; this place is packed to the BRIM, but that’s understandable, their busy. What isn’t understandable was how filthy all their tables were. At a lot of mexican taquerias its sort of an unspoken rule that you have to wipe down your own damn table, but again, this place was on another level. Each table was more disgusting than the last. Goddamn guys hire someone to wipe your tables down, this is embarrasing.
How was my burrito? It was without a doubt, one of the worst burritos I’ve ever had the displeasure of eating. The carne asada was oversalted to the point where I needed a blood transfusion from someone with less salt content. I detected something crunchy in every bite. I realized later that this was the overcooked rice. Ah yes, the rice, it tasted like some «spanish rice» one of your white friend’s mom would make after a long day of work. It was HORRIBLE. I forced myself to finish it, for virtue of starving from a long day. $ 7 for something I wouldn’t feed to a guantanamo bay prisoner.
They did, however, have one or two redeeming qualities. The aguas frescas were decent, no complaints there. The other thing was the large painting of the girl in a traditional mexican blouse with one of her boobs practically hanging out. it was unnecessarily erotic and I found it hilarious.
I tried this place mainly because me gf wanted to try it. Aside from the foolish mistake of taking a woman’s opinion seriously, I made the even more foolish mistake of not following my gut. I find it ridiculous this place has the same Unilocal rating as TJ’s tacos when their food isnt even half as good. Seriously, go to taco bell over this. You’ll save some money and you won’t need new ear drums.

Just came in for the first today with a friend and I can dig it! I’ve passed by this place once before and it was looked busy so I figured it must be good.
I ordered 2 asada tacos and 2 pollo asado tacos with a strawberry drink. They were out of their melòn drink by time I got there which is what I originally wanted. They were also out of the guac when I went to the salsa bar too! Kind of bummed, but it was okay.
I pretty much topped off my tacos with all the sauces and it still came out tasting so flavorful! Good spice — not too overpowering, but enough to give a nice hefty kick.
Strawberry drink was cold and fresh — loooove when there’s pulp/​chunks of fruits in my drink! What I really liked is that they don’t pack the cup full of ice either.
You can never go wrong with asada, so of course I ordered that! The pollo asado had such a nice crisp to it — kind of like a chicharron crunch on the outside but still tender on the inside! So juicy.
Restaurant has nice open space but I’ve heard the lines here can get long! Lucky to be here on a random Wednesday night since we didn’t wait long for anything.
I like how you can sample the aguas frescas before making a decision. :)
Overall, good place for a snack! If I had the choice to come back again, sure why not?
