Restaurant Summary

Matts BBQ Tacos, nestled in the heart of Oregon's vibrant Portland city, is a culinary haven for both barbecue and taco lovers alike. This exquisite eatery has become a local favorite, seamlessly blending the smoky essence of traditional barbecue with the fresh vibrancy of Mexican cuisine, offering foodies a delightful dining experience that holds true to the authenticity of both food cultures.

The restaurant's atmosphere is both rustic and charming, providing a casual and welcoming space where patrons can immerse themselves in a sensory journey of tantalising flavours. Acclaimed for their use of fresh ingredients and an innovative approach to cooking, the menu at Matts BBQ Tacos presents a unique fusion of two comforting cuisines.

Among the standout dishes you'll find at Matts BBQ Tacos are their sumptuous Brisket Tacos. These hearty tacos are filled with mouthwatering smoked beef brisket, perfectly tender, and garnished with fresh onions, cilantro, and a tangy house-made salsa that complements the smoky meat with a dash of zingy brightness.

Not to be outdone, their Pulled Pork Tacos are equally impressive. The pork is slow-cooked until it’s pull-apart tender and served with a dollop of creamy, tangy slaw for that delightful crunch. The slight sweetness of the pork melds beautifully with the slaw, creating a symphony of flavors with each bite.

The eatery's dedication to quality and flavor extends to the vegetarian options as well - their Smoked Mushroom Taco is a fan favorite. Made with succulent smoked mushrooms and topped with a tangy slaw and fresh avocado slices, this dish proves that plant-based options can provide an equally satisfying and flavorful experience.

Pair any of the above with their Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage, a side that offers an explosion of flavors with a slight heat kick that dances on your taste buds. Don’t forget to wash down your meal with their range of refreshing craft beers, which add the perfect finishing touch to an extraordinary dining experience.

Matts BBQ Tacos has successfully transformed a food truck concept into a full-fledged restaurant that’s well-loved by locals and tourists alike. With its novel approach to fusion cuisine and commitment to high-quality ingredients, it's no wonder this restaurant has become a must-visit spot on the Portland culinary map.
