Location: 6010 NE Killingsworth (next to the Best Fuel gas station/convenience store)
The Story: Taqueria Mendoza is a little ocean blue trailer tucked into a scruffy strip on NE Killingsworth. It’s located in the Best Fuel gas station parking lot if that gives you any indication of the ambiance. Yet, Mendoza does this neighborhood a huge service, for there is little in the way of quick, healthy and affordable eats on this strip. The neighborhood, as well as working people on their way to and from work, truck drivers, laborers, and even the occasional business person seem to stop here for their taco fix.
Taqueria Mendoza may not have the deepest menu of regional specialties or obscure organ meats, and what they make is simple and straightforward, but they do them quite well. Plus, this place is indeed cheap, with $1.25 tacos that are fresh, and filling. They are even vegetarian friendly with choice of veggie tacos, enchiladas, or burritos.
A nice option for dinner for those in the area, Mendoza is also open until 9PM Mon-Sat.
