El Capullo









As always I am on the hunt for real mexican food in the metro area. I have always seen a line around this truck near 185th and stark in Gresham. So me being the taco obsessed crazy person I am. On my way to work in the middle of butt fuck egypt.

I have tried all of the meats. This is my expert opinion, Carne asada varies from day to day but always is OK to decent(if you must get something besides birria get the mixed chorizo and asada which is named campeche). Pollo, come on now are you really that fucking white?(the only decent Mexican chicken that I have found in this town is at bora bora(158th and division) and make sure you say pollo asado!. The Birria is why you come to this place. I have not found a better Birria de Chivo taco or consume in this town yet. I am not saying it is as good as the temples of Birria(El Pirian in LA for one). The meat is tender and has the wonderful taste of goat(don't say gamy or I will shoot you). The consume is wonderful and captures the essence of the wonderful animal. Also the tortillas are the best non handmade tortillas I have had in this town supple and toasted with animal fat(the only way!) Also the tacos and cup of consume are only a buck each. Sadly I had to try the burrito(against my better judgement) and was really disappointed. The beans were pasty and the rice was actually not that bad but it just did not work as a whole.
So this is my warning to this place and ALL other mexican places I review on this blog.
Eat what I recommend dammit! I am tired of telling people where to go and what to eat in extreme detail and having people order other items than I recommended and say "that place was not good" when they did not even order the right thing. So I say trust me and I won't steer you wrong.
oh yea this place is only open on fri-sunday 11am-11pm
