This place is a beat up hole in the wall, the carpet is so badly worn and stained that you can’t determine its original color, the seating looks like a hodge podge of flea market rejects, there is no restroom, and they have a handful of vending machines filled with goodies to attract quarters from kids. They do get decor props for having two of the coolest toys in a plastic bubble machines I have a seen in a while: a Homies vending machine and a Jesus action figure vending machine (50 cents gets you a Virgin Mary!). The food, however, R-O-C-K’s! We are of the vegetarian persuasion and in addition to a substantial selection of traditional Mexican choices they offer a number of vegetarian choices. I opted for a chile relleno burrito for $3.75. It was magical - really. I love chile rellenos but I tend to shy away from them in burritos because the relleno too often gets buried or is a greasy mess. Not here. The chile relleno was distinctive but none of the elements - pico de gallo, beans, rice - overpowered the flavor. Instead everything mixed together in a delicious peaceful harmony. It was huge, I finished the whole thing, and I wished I had second stomach so I could get another. In addition to burritos they have a wide selection of other choices - tortas, quesadillas, menudo, etc. Like all taquerias should be, the place was a bargain and the service was quick. Our total bill for three burritos was 8 bucks and some change, basically about a buck a pound. It is hard to live up to a name like King Burrito. These guys definitely do! King Burrito is located at 2924 N. Lombard, Portland, OR 97217 - (503) 283-9757
