Kike's Taqueria 617 Lancaster Drive Northeast, Salem, OR 97301

"Best tacos I have had in Oregon. El pastor, asada, birria were all fantastic. We ate in the restaurant and the tortillas were nice and firm with a little crisp. Not soggy at all. The meat all had a nice crisp as well. The hot sauce was great as well having several options with different heat levels. 10 out of 10 will eat here anytime I pass through."

"Great little hole in the wall taqueria. We had some street tacos and Birria. Both were delicious. Salsas were super flavorful and delicious. I must have used 10 mini containers. Nothing fancy about the inside but absolutely doesn't need it. There was a steady stream of local regulars coming in to enjoy the great food. Will definitely return here."

"The food isn't bad, although my tastebuds are spoiled, they hit close. Unfortunately no hand made/pressed tortillas, and the camarones a la diabla was all spice and no sweet. (They did tell me they could made it sweet and spicy when I asked). Rice flavor wasn't there, and the beans were clumpy/not thick enough, but I still ate it. The vegetables were crisp and cold, everything was very edible, just very American-ized. Quesabirria was flavorful, beef was shredded nicely and was pre dressed which is interesting. I didn't know what to expect with the consome as I've only ever had consome de chivo, but dressed with cilantro and onion, a little lime and it was good to go. I tried it by itself, the flavor of the beef was there, not overpowering. The tables were clean when I got there, and cleaned throughout. I definitely wouldn't honor the 5 second rule off the floor, but that's why we wear shoes. They have every right to brag, a solid 7.5/10 just from the small portion I tried, I'll be back!"

"Confident in saying these are the best birria tacos you will find in the state. I try tacos from everywhere and these are the best I’ve had. On top of that, the service is top notch and everyone is incredibly friendly! These tacos are the best and possibly only good thing about Salem!"

"I had a gift card from here a year ago and I can't believe I waited so darn long. I'm glad we visited because the food was 'delicioso'. I was even blown away from the price... In a good way. Less than what I would pay for in another restaurant ordering the same food. Presentation was on point and service was awesome. We will definitely return."
