I am obsessed with tacos right now. Maybe it’s because they are fun to eat? Or, maybe it’s because they are so darn delicious? All I know is that when the opportunity strikes for eating tacos, I am at the front of the line. Today was perfect for enjoying tacos. Tim and I have friends in town from Seattle and we met up with them for lunch at El Nutri Taco in NE Portland.
El Nutri has two locations and both provide consistently amazing Mexican food. The NE location used to be a food truck and I happily discovered this afternoon that they moved into a small restaurant space! Yeah! Now I can get my taco fix indoors if it’s raining. El Nutri also has a separate vegan/vegetarian menu that will please every single herbivore in the whole wide world. I always get the same thing because that’s how I roll.
The Potatoes Burrito = potatoes, grilled onions, lettuce, black beans, rice, cheese (Daiya), and sour cream (Tofutti) in a whole wheat tortilla
Tim opted for the Chimichanga:
Chimichanga = deep fried burrito filled with beans, rice, cheese, and a choice of potatoes, soyrizo, or tofu, topped with cheese, sour cream, and served with a side of lettuce and salsa fresca
Our friends got the tacos:
Corn tortillas, grilled onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado
It was yummy.
Holy S!!!! that deep fried burrito thing.
Hahaaa! I know! Tim didn’t offer me a bite, but he devoured the entire burrito so that’s a good indication of yumminess.
I like burritos better than tacos just because the filling stays inside but tacos are much prettier. Either way, both tasty. I love potatoes in burritos!
I tend to enjoy burritos more too. I only recently started adding potatoes to my tacos and burritos and now they are an essential ingredient every time!

Dazee and I went yesterday and also discovered their new restaurant! Exciting, no? We shared nachos!
I was there on Sunday too!
That chimichanga looks so delicious!
I know! I wish I has asked for a bite. Tim’s meal was by far the prettiest and most unique at our table.
Looks so good! That chimichanga looks amazing! I also love tacos. I’m human though, so that’s probably why…
Good point – we should all love tacos!! :)
