Guëro - Portland, OR

What once was a thriving food cart is now a full-fledged brick-and-mortar success story known as Guëro. Located in the Kerns neighborhood of central/southeast Portland, this casual Mexican eatery specializes in massive tortas (sandwiches) stuffed with all kinds of delicious ingredient combos on toasted telera rolls. You've got the go-to carnitas and chicken pibil but also the giant hamburguesa (double Mexican cheeseburger) and the desayuno (breakfast torta with braised beef and fried egg). Not in a sandwich mood? Opt for the equally delish Cart Bowl with fresh salad, veggies, beans, rice, cheese and your choice of protein. Either way, you really can't go wrong as the food, atmosphere and staff are all top notch.

Get this: Masa y papa torta with a fried masa and potato pancake, roasted tamarind tomato, avocado, onion, cilantro, lime, queso botanero, cabbage, pickled onion, chile lime mayonnaise on toasted bread.
