Mis Tacones
Mexican restaurant in Portland, Oregon, U.S
Mis Tacones is a Chicano and queer-owned vegan taquería in Portland, Oregon, United States.
Description
Michael Russell of The Oregonian has described Mis Tacones as a "Chicano and queer-owned vegan taco pop-up". He wrote in 2022, "The colorful new restaurant serves nourishing tacos, tortas, French fry nachos, burritos and chimichangas made with house-made seitan instead of meat, plus delightfully rainbow-hued conchas from vegan bakery La Casa De Mamá. Mis Tacones remains focused on Portland's LGBTQ community, including by offering free meals to trans people of color." The owners were inspired to provide free food to trans people of color after visiting Gay4U, a vegan restaurant run by Cellphone in Oakland, California.
According to Waz Wu of Eater Portland, Mis Tacones' tortillas are "hand-pressed to order, then filled with extra juicy al pastor, asada, and cilantro-lime-marinated house-made seitan, dressed with chipotle crema and salsas". The menu also includes empanadas and meatless asada.
History
Mis Tacones launched as a vegan pop-up restaurant in 2016. Carlos Reynoso and Polo Abram Bañuelos began making tacos in Portland after relocating from Los Angeles. Inspired by street food in Baja California and Los Angeles, the duo made seitan tacos and other foods at private dinners, Saturday markets, and queer dance events. The operation was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Why this record matters
The phrase “mexican restaurant in Portland, Oregon, U.S” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q111676574. Authority coordinates are 45.563, -122.648. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022 and 2016.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
