What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight the delicious house-made tortillas, inventive cocktails, and attentive staff. Diners rave about the birria tacos and grilled street corn, often calling them must-tries. The modern interior and open kitchen add to the experience, with many guests noting the vibe as "energetic but not chaotic." Several reviewers also applaud the staff for being accommodating to time-sensitive diners heading to events.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the dining room can feel a bit cramped during peak hours, and that the noise level picks up with the late crowd—something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quieter pre-show meal. Prices are slightly higher than your average taco joint, but most feel the quality justifies it.

The Bottom Line

With bold flavors, fast service, and a festive vibe, De Noche is a smart and satisfying stop for concert-goers exploring Portland’s music scene.
