The long-awaited arrival of a new Mexican restaurant in Lake Oswego is finally here! The highly anticipated OG Birrieria Lake Oswego taqueria is set to open its doors for a soft opening on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. This marks the end of a mysterious waiting period for local residents, who have been eagerly anticipating the opening of this new establishment. The taqueria will take over the space previously occupied by the Giant Drive-In, which closed in 2023, and bring a vibrant and authentic Mexican dining experience to the community.
What makes this opening particularly exciting is the restaurant's journey from a humble taco truck in Hillsboro to a full-fledged brick-and-mortar establishment. The owner, Richard Hurtado, has been working tirelessly to transform the space and bring his vision to life. The remodeling process, which began in 2024, has finally reached its culmination, and the results are sure to impress.
The menu at OG Birrieria will feature a variety of Mexican dishes, including tacos, margaritas, beer, and a full bar. Hurtado's passion for authentic flavors is evident in his statement, "I think people are going to be excited and they’re going to love her food. We’re anticipating everyone to come over and enjoy our good Mexican food and also the margaritas."
The restaurant's opening hours will be from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, providing a convenient and accessible dining option for the community. With its central location at 15840 Boones Ferry Road, OG Birrieria is poised to become a popular destination for food lovers in Lake Oswego.
The anticipation surrounding this opening is understandable, given the long wait and the promise of delicious Mexican cuisine. The restaurant's ability to adapt from a taco truck to a full-service restaurant showcases its dedication to providing a unique and memorable dining experience. As the soft opening approaches, the excitement in the community is palpable, and it will be fascinating to see how OG Birrieria Lake Oswego becomes a beloved fixture in the local food scene.
In my opinion, the opening of OG Birrieria is a significant development for Lake Oswego, bringing a new and exciting dining option to the area. It represents the hard work and dedication of the owner and the team, and it will undoubtedly become a go-to destination for Mexican food lovers. As a resident of Lake Oswego, I am thrilled to have this new restaurant in our community and look forward to experiencing the authentic flavors it has to offer.
