So last week, we called all our girlfriends and piled into my roomie’s car (chanting, no doubt). Taco Trio was to be had.
I ordered a trio of tacos ($9): carne asada, chorizo, and pescado. The best part about the tacos is the salsa bar. I sampled a few and found the hot ones to actually be hot. I settled on a medium roasted tomato salsa (the one in front of the sour cream in the photo below).
A. loved her carnitas taco (seen in the middle with pico de gallo and mango salsas), and I snuck a bite. The seared pork was crunchy and tasted great. I’ll go with that one next time.
Overall, I’m sure I’ll return to Taco Trio. It’s very bikable from Portland (although I don’t know if eating three tacos and biking around would be very wise), and if you head out there on Thursdays, you can check out the new South Portland Farmers’ Market nearby between 3pm and 7pm.
I enjoyed my tacos, but wasn’t necessarily blown away by any of the flavors I experienced. Everything was good, not great. For Mexican food in Maine though, as long as we’re not approaching Margarita’s or On the Border territory, I’m happy.
Make your own Horchata!!
Thanks for the review. I was in that SoPo neighborhood recently and saw Taco Trio. Now I know what to order next time I'm there.
Dude! I just drove by there not 15 minutes ago in search of good tacos. I too had heard if this place but not enough to know they were closed on Sunday. should've checked with you first! The blub files are where its at, per usual.
