What people say, in short
Guero is a casual Mexican spot in Kerns on 28th that people name again and again as a Portland favorite, praised for Mexican sandwiches, tortas, bowls and a burger. One diner calls it really good, with decent-sized portions, a casual vibe and budget-friendly prices. A visitor-center worker suggests the tortas and bowls for lunch. One person found the burger underwhelming on a recent visit, though they wondered if eating half an ahogada first was to blame.
