50 Best Food Trucks in Portland

“This place is so good!!! We got the chicken burrito and steak burrito. They were big enough to split between the 3 of us. The taste of them both were top notch. Seriously excellent taste. Fresh handmade tortillas??? Yo, you’re trippin if you think this place is mid. Will definitely be coming back to try the habanero sauce. Tried the red and green and was blown away with the flavor for both. Highly recommend!!!“

“Incredible!!! I got the birria tacos and they were just fantastic. Piping hot, great mix of textures and flavors, and a great portion size. Thank you! Can't wait to eat here again!Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetarian options and many of them are vegan, or can be made vegan!“

“I love mama chows and since earlier this year I have become a regular! The two chefs are always so helpful and check in on you after you eat even though it's a food cart! The garlic noodles are incredible and have the perfect chew! Plus you have a variety of toppings for whatever mood you are in! I recently had the garlic shrimp garlic noodles and I wish that they would add it to the menu full time! A must try in Portland!“

“Since they're situated at a gas station, I can't give them full marks for "atmosphere," but they do the best they can. however, the food and service were both outstanding. This food is really, really good. Will definitely put in our regular take-out rotation.Dietary restrictions: One gluten-free and dairy-free eater here, and they accommodated the DF without issue. Delicious!“

“Blew me away! I love this food cart pod already but I wanted to try something new and I will be back! My partner got a burrito and I got the taco plate with carnitas and portobello. Incredible! Love the colorful plates too and the salsas were spicy but not too spicy. Perfect amount of kick.“

“They catered my event and I was absolutely blown away by the exceptional service and delicious food by Sheesh Shawarma! They truly went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and the food was hands down some of the best I've had in a while. I'll definitely be returning for more, and I can't wait to spread the word to all my friends. Highly recommend!“

“Michael and Bibi have made a FANTASTIC experience. Stop in, try a sample, you will not be disappointed.We had the chickpea and potato, and salfish bacalhaus, along with the chicken and potato on rice. All of it was amazing. I want to explore the whole menu now. If you're into spicy get their hot sauce for sure.Then take all your food and enjoy Fracture Brewing: they allow outside food in, have a ton of great beer on tap, along with ciders and a full bar! Space is inside and out. Wonderful!“

“El servicio excelente y la comida súper sabrosa y hecha con mucho cariño. Hoy probé Causa Acevichada, Lomo Saltado, Tallarines Verdes, Tacu-Tacu, Antichos y Picarones. Todo súper recomendado!!! Definitivamente vamos a regresar por más!“

“Anytime I go to this food court, I go directly to LoRell’s Chicken. I live in Vancouver, Wa and whenever I cross the bridge to run errands I always make sure to stop by Lorell’s for lunch. They are always so nice and take time out of their busy day to make sure to come over to check up on you.“

“What a gem! We don't eat vegan exclusively but have egg and dairy allergies so getting burgers with cheese and ranch and shakes was awesome! The buddy stix (mozzarella) were not bad but the Paddy's Melt and Newport Nightmare were both great and the Smashed to pieces shake was so good we came back another time just for more shakes! This place is located inside Swan Dive and did not have a sign outside (as they moved recently to the kitchen inside).“

“This food is amazing. It is obvious the chef cares deeply about the food he prepares. The prices are more than reasonable, especially considering the size of plates. The value of money spent for product you get can not be beat anywhere. I'll always recommend this place first for catering or grabbing some lunch. 5 star for real!!!“

“The best food truck in Portland! The food is soooo good and the owners are so kind and friendly. If you haven't tried Burmese tea leaf salad before this is the place to do it!Dietary restrictions: I have many food allergies/intolerances and they were very accommodating.“

“I love Japanese sandos and was so happy to find this spot when visiting Portland.My husband and I shared:- Miso Katsu Sando with Pork- Naka Sando- Tokyo Curry Pan SandoI don't think you can go wrong with anything you get here. The Miso Katsu Sando was my favorite. I loved the sauce and all of the flavors.The curry sando was super unique. I enjoyed the first few bites the most, but then it got a bit too heavy for me with the fried bread. I would ideally want to share this with 4 people.The cart consistently has a line. We waited about 40 minutes for ordering + receiving our food. You can order in advance too, but they weren't sold out of any sandos when we got there around noon on a weekend.There is a lot of covered outdoor seating and heaters when it's cold. Parking in the area is paid street parking only.“

“If you've never had Kenyan food, you need it in your life. If you don't normally like vegan food, you should give it a try... it had no right being as amazing as it was.Vegetarian options: It's all vegan. It's all incredible.“

“Absolutely fantastic falafel and great service! I love the people that work here they’re always very friendly and kind. I love both their falafel wraps and their falafel gyros, both are delicious in their own right. I’m also a big fan of their hummus, I’m picky about hummus but theirs is delicious!!!“

“This is the best birria not just in Portland, but that I've ever had. They specialize in it, and they mean it.When you come here, definitely get rice and beans as well. Squeeze that lime on your birria, and devour the sweet heat that is their special birria. You cannot go wrong here!!!“

“Ordered the Ropa Veija. It had the BEST flavor, and the meat was so tender. The black beans were delicious I have never had black beans that delicious before!!! Also ordered Tostones and the green sauce that came with it was sooooooo amazing. Is a little expensive but worth every penny.“

“My mom picked up some crepes from this little food cart today. I got the "BLTA Bear", it was delicious! Savory crepes aren't easy to pull off, but I was impressed with the soft delicious texture and great flavor combo. My 5yr got the same as me and thought it was great (she couldn't quite finish because it was so filling).We got takeout today, but I've been to this location and the tricky part is finding parking along the street. You have to park a bit into the neighborhood and walk.Vegetarian options: All the fillings are clearly labeled. I think (depending on how strict a vegetarian you are), you will have one savory option and four sweet options. It's a simple and straightforward menu.Kid-friendliness: This is a very kid friendly food, especially if you order off the sweet side.“

“I got the rib plate and it was totally amazing. The owner was a lovely lady and she was very friendly! The mac and cheese was absolutely superb! We got there before they opened and we were put on a list and were called out by name. It was worth the wait! The cabbage was absolutely delicious. The potato salad was good. The banana pudding was perfect!“

“No photo can reflect how amazing this Smash Burger truly is. Fresh ingredients, made to perfection. I’ve come to this cart over a dozen times since it has opened, and quality has stayed consistent every time. The $15 order comes with fries, which is a great deal for the amount of food you get. Best smash burger in Portland by far!!This cart is located at Heist, which has a bar and various other food carts if you want to mix and match!“

“best food i've eaten in ages. not only were the empanadas some of the best i've ever eaten, the price was great ($8 for 3 big empanadas), and the service couldn't have been more friendly. thank you. this meal may have turned me into a “

“The best Mexican food cart by far. I always get tacos and they've never let me down. Super quick and delicious every time. The man running the cart is always very nice and sometimes gives me extra food. This is always my go-to when I'm craving Mexican food.“

“My new favorite food spot! Great food and people. Every menu item I’ve tried so far has been amazing, can’t wait to try the rest of the menu! Highly recommend the whitefish sandwich and wash it down with an egg cream. Lovely spot for weekend brunch as well.“

“This is a great neighborhood taqueria. The prices are really good for the quality of the food and the spices on the Al Pastor are some of the best I've had. Burrito bowls are my jam and this burrito bowl is seriously legit. Salsas are also great.“

“Really friendly and great customer service! Got the brunch burger and it did not disappoint. Perfect burger for when you can’t decide what you want has everything you could need eggs bacon and hash browns! If you are in the area I would suggest checking it out!“

“Comfort food at its finest. Guys working there are super chill and set us up with all their sauces. We took some time deciding what we wanted because all of it sounded so good. My brother got the trifecta combo and my husband and I each got the chicken sandwich. My only complaint is that the sandwiches were a little hard to pick up and eat just because they were so loaded. Don't let the website pictures fool you - these portions are huge (and the prices very affordable). My husband and I could have easily split one sandwich but instead have leftovers for tomorrow. :) everything just pairs well together. The menu has been well thought-out and I think we need to come back to try more!“

“We live near the French Quarter food cart pod and Taco Express is a cart that we frequent every time we come (and that's often)! The kids love the breakfast burrito, their tacos are delicious, and seriously the fries are the best of anywhere in the Village! Friendly service and convenient hours. Love this place!“

“The Hotate or Sea Scallop sushi with yuzu pepper marmalade was out this world good. We also ordered the Guac N' Roll & French Quarter Roll. Excellent flavors. We didn't even need soy sauce. The Guac N' Roll has a unique presentation and the roll was balance & on point. I will recommend Yoshi to anyone interested in sushi!“

“I absolutely love this place! Any time they have the biscuits and gravy special I order brunch every Sunday it’s available! My family loves the tosilog and honestly you can order anything and I guarantee it’ll be delicious. The staff are so friendly and I just love this place! Can’t recommend it more!!“

“Best tofu I've found in Portland!! I love trying new things any time I go, and have yet to be disappointed!! Not only is the food great, but the service is unmatched! Definitely my favorite lunch spot :)Vegetarian options: Most dishs can be made vegetarian by selecting tofu for your protein“

“We had a phenomenal meal at Gracie’s. Very kind service and wonderful food. It was fun getting to try some ingredient combinations that I’d never had on a pizza before, although some more classical types are available, too, if that’s what you’re into. A love of the craft was really evident during our visit and we are grateful to the staff for providing us with a really enjoyable evening. I will definitely be back.“

“I am by no means a Vegan. In fact if there is an afterlife I am sure I will have many many furry faces waiting for me for my crimes of rampant meat consumption. So setting that as the starting off point I eat the vegan bowl here like two or three times a week. This girl is an absolute wok goddess. I have no idea how she manages to cook every single piece of vegetables in her stir frys without ever making a single piece go limp. I have a deep and abiding childhood hatred of cauliflower. It is marrow deep to the point of irrational dislike on my end. Yet when that vile weed appears at random in her stir fry I am not only okay with it, but thoroughly enjoy the dish. Even her rice is several steps ahead of the competition. The curried Garbonzo beans are simply perfect. The fresh diced cucumber and carrot makes the perfect crunchy contrast with the amazing rice and curried legumes. The fresh lime juice makes her dishes flirt with sweetness while still being savory. If your tired of the same old boring grease soaked fries and cheese slathered mediocre slabs of low grade meat check out this cart. The flavors are both well seasoned yet not over powering. She has a chefs touch to be sure. Plus my heart I am sure prefers the fare far more than another artery clogging mass of American failure cuisine.“

“I found this place earlier today when I was looking for a refreshing drink. I got their hibiscus drink which was delicious. Then I returned later for food. And. OMG. The food was absolutely superb! Sooo much flavor!! The sauces were amazing! The chicken was perfectly grilled! Everything was outstanding!“

“I just arrived in Portland and was looking for good halal food. By luck came across this place thru Uber eats. Ordered kabali pilau and chapal kebabs. Hands down best food I have tasted in months. Taste was unbelievable as well as it was all fresh. In my book both restaurant and owners deserve 5 stars for the quality of the food.“

“Randomly decided to stop here while walking my dog and am sooo glad I did! I chose the house curry, pot stickers and spring rolls, everything was delicious and flavorful. Plenty of food for two people.The customer service was exceptional, a true joy. Highly recommended.“

“We like to be safe and warm during the cold rainy days. Coffee is god's bitter apology for everything else. We all want to see a familiar face at the end of a long journey. A knight without a kingdom fights for the one who can understand him. A soldier in peacetime fights the battle in his mind. we are hard shelled on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. When you drop your ice cream on the ground, mother says you can have another one, yet you still cry, fearing the day when there will not be another ice cream, another weekend, a familiar face, a just ruler. The Big City with a Small Town charm. Soft clouds, soft lighting. You can sleep in. All is forgiven. Breakfast goes till 2PMGet the double stack, it will not be too much.“

“The food here is excellent. You simply can't go wrong. The panuchos are my favorite but the empanadas and burritos are delicious as well. Their sauces are quite good too. The fare is reasonably priced , the ingredients are quality and the service is always friendly and prompt. The owner is very nice and is super accommodating. I highly recommend visiting this cart.“

“This place has LEGIT corn dogs! A really good corn dog is hard to come by these days if there isn't a fair in town. My wife and I came by Sunday afternoon. It was a bit out of the way as we live in Hillsboro. After finding parking, which is challenging, we ordered and my wife makes a little wisecrack joke, "all this for a corn dog". One bite of the corn dog dipped into the honey butter and she instantly changed her tune. We are so glad we made the out of the way stop. I only wish you could get a 2nd cart out our way in Hillsboro/Beaverton. Keep up the great work!“

“I just returned from a month in Colombia and the empanadas at this cart are better than any that I had in the whole country. Mind you I tried everything on their menu basically, the yucca fries, the plantain they have empanadas with beef and potato and the patacone with cheese, along with a couple of juices.Their patacone was delicious and the perfect line between crispy and soft. These were always a gamble in Colombia. Sometimes they would be so crunchy. Your teeth were hurt and other times they would be undercooked. This cart gets it perfect. I love it with just the cheese. It's simple and super delicious.I would definitely order that again, but the real stand out to me was the empanadas. They were perfectly lightly crisp, not greasy at all, and the filling was very well seasoned and flavored. It's also hard to find gluten-free empanadas anywhere else besides Colombian food so I love that. The ladies that were working, the cart were great and very helpful. The Arepas were pretty good with well seasoned meat, but I'm definitely more of a fan of Venezuelan Arepas with a lot of stuffing.Only change or feedback I request is to get rid of the lettuce on the items, and one day add Arepas de Chocolo with cheese to the menu because they haunt my dreams since I left--one week ago. Very authentic, try it you haven't visited Colombia or if you have!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Awesome food!! The owner was also SO friendly and kind, she greeted me with a huge smile. The food portions are quite generous and delicious! The kimchi is also super bubbly and fresh I couldn’t get enough. The prices are also the best I saw among all the others. For the quality, amount of food and super friendly owner I can definitely recommend this place and will definitely be back!! 맛있어요!“

“The tacos are really tasty (though I have only had the al pastor and chicken), I imagine the others are good as well. The Keto tacos are unique being a fired cheese shell, and are really good. The guacumole is chucky and plentiful both on the side or with their tasty nachos. The Mexican fried rice is a combination Spanish rice and Asian fried rice, very different and good. The burrito takes 2 hands to hold, it is big, also flavorful. I highly recommend eating here, I do at least once a week. The owners are also really nice people!“

“Not bad. It is definitely just a BBQ chicken joint where you can pick if you want bbq sauce or not. I came here thinking it was like Mexican or Peruvian rotisserie chicken but it's got the BBQ feel vs rotisserie. Idk how to explain ! The food is good, the service was nice too. I wanted to try it just to see how it was but it's my fault for expecting a different cook style.“

“The house made Black Bean Burger is made to perfection - not mushy and super flavorful. The breaded mushrooms - freakin delicious. The side salad felt fresh and was tasty. Portions are generous and easy to share. This place gets better every time I drop by. Would highly recommend!!“

“Nested in a nice food park, Saint Burrito has delicious burritos and friendly service. Ordered carnitas which was flavorful and had a slight crunchy texture from the searing. ? I also ordered the harbanero salsa but thought it would be a bit more spicy as a good middle ground of the choices. ALTHOUGH!, the salsa has a fantastic authentic roasted texture and color which I absolutely love. Will be returning.“

“I don’t know how authentically Turkish their offerings are, but their döner salads are a cut above salads at other halal carts. You get generous amounts of yogurt dressing, pickles, and olives. They used to include other pickled vege but no longer. Still an excellent halal cart salad. Other offerings are very solid, tho the falafel is a bit blander than other places. The salad is great tho.“

“Obsessed. The chicken’s incredibly crunchy every time and all three coatings are delicious. The soy garlic tones down the sweetness that you’d typically get from that sauce (in a good way) and I have to disagree with reviewers complaining about the gochujang sauce not being spicy enough. I have a high tolerance but IMO, heat needs to be harmoniously balanced with the other elements of the dish and Frybaby’s is balanced well. The heat is reasonable and detectable without dominating the other flavors. The snow cheese… what can I say? It’s interesting and addicting. I love it. All of the side dishes are also bangers, but I do think the kimchi mac might be the weakest one. Personally I think it needs a touch more salt but I really love salt ?The only real negative thing I have to say about Frybaby is that they almost always sell out of wings by the time it’s dinner. Not a big deal because the drumsticks are also delicious (and gigantic) but I wish they’d stock more wings!“

“Authentic panzerotti experience ! 10/10The owner was so friendly and a pleasure chatting with. Was a mandatory stop before ending our trip in Portland and driving back to Vancouver, Canada. Tasted like we were back in Bari, Italy. It’s all about the Barese! Bravo!“

“This place is bomb bomb. It’s a small, family owned food truck with outside covered sitting options. The food is so delicious reliable each time & the folks making the food are so dear & warm. We come at least 1x a month if not more.“

“Reeva makes a damn fine slice, that's for sure. Not too thick, not too thin: for us Portland pizza pundits, it's thicker than Otto's, thinner than just about everyone else. The pepperoni, with its included jalapenos and fermented chili honey, is incredible, and my wife said the Margherita is the best she'd ever had anywhere! They're a little on the small-ish side, with one pizza being enough for 1-2 people at most, and also a bit pricey for said size, but it's hard to top these toppings for quality and flavor! They're also fast, friendly, and conveniently located on Sandy for us Nor'easters! Don't believe-a? Eat at Reeva!Parking: Street parking only, but plenty of side streets.Wheelchair accessibility: Street-side with plenty of sidewalk.“

“I have ordered from this crew several times. The service is impeccable— the team was willing to omit cheese, were friendly and helpful, and had a sense of humor. One of our party is a loyal fan of their empanadas. La Arepa NE served us our first arepas and we were hooked! The sauces are distinct and delicious. There are dairy free and vegan options. Best of all, it feels good to support a business where their cooks are talented AND deliver superb customer service. This truck is the shining star in this pod. Highly recommended.“
