100 percent gluten free menu, and good drinks. They have taco specials, I picked the seafood option. The tacos were good, very fancy with the ingredients. I wish I had tried the meat tacos as well. The passion fruit margaritas was also good.
We live further away and this is a little far for us, however, we find ourselves there on the weekend on a regular basis. Great Vegan food that is free from the allergies we worry about most - Gluten and Soy.
Phenomenal food and service. All vegan options with consideration for those who need gluten food as well. A perfect place to satisfy that 'diner' itch without the ambient sausage/bacon stank
We recently ordered takeout from Chilango and were impressed with the deliciousness of everything we tried. The taco campana and mini quesadillas were particular favorites, and I would highly recommend them to any vegan or gluten-free food enthusiasts out there.
We absolutely loved having our 55-person wedding at Bar Carlo. The owner Mel is at the same time very supportive and very low-key, which made for a smooth planning process and day-of event. The space is gorgeous, and has multiple connected wings, which allowed for the the party to morph seamlessly over the night from barside cocktail hour to outdoor patio ceremony to dinner buffet to dance floor.
The space is already a beautifully decorated artwork, and Mel lets you decide how to arrange the space for your event, but you can also bring your own decorations/sound system/llama and she can handle those additions easily. 🙂 The food and drinks were delicious too, and Mel was able to accommodate our entirely vegan and gluten-free menu without hesitation. Overall we loved the unique-ness, flexibility and good vibes of the space and the people of Bar Carlo, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cute and fun space for their wedding or other event.

The BEST taco place around Portland, hands down - homemade tortillas, actual street style tacos, and all the meats are cooked and seasoned to perfection every time! I can't even pick the best meat here like every single other taco place - carnitas is generally my go-to, but their chicken is cooked to perfection where it has the perfect char yet melts in your mouth... This is the only place I order tacos with chicken. Combined with the great staff, chill atmosphere, and the option of all the homemade salsas and sauces just make this place extra special and so satisfying every time. When I'm missing central America, this place hits the spot every time (and when I'm in central America, sometimes I miss these tacos!!). The food even suits my gluten free, dairy free, and low fodmap diet. But seriously, everything down to the beans and rice... There's something special about this place and food that will keep me a fan forever! I highly, highly suggest this place. Keep it up Taco Pedaler crew!!!
Ps - you can also discover fun finds in the mini neon gift shop. Plants, cards, and more homemade/local gifts!
Took my gluten allergic mate and my 4 girls here and thewaitresscatered to them great and the food was delicious but kinda pricey not real bad but not something I'll be able to afford all the time once in awhile this will be our new spot
Really happy I got to drop by today. I asked what the order taker preferred - Ribeye Torta.
Incredible! The sauce added some nice spice and smokiness to the perfect cook on the meat, and the nice pickled veggies. Good bread with the Torta as well.
Great price per quantity and quality of food. Nice on speed-- have previously been used to waiting ~30 mins for "other carts" on the square. This time the wait was maybe 5 mins.
Nice to see veggie options. The tortilla I got was flour, but I forgot to ask about gluten free.
