“Been coming here since they were a food cart and it remains an absolute favorite. I always know when too many weeks have passed between visits, because I start getting irrationally cranky. The Oy Gevalt! is the best meal in town. I can't describe the perfection of the latke/smoked salmon/egg/dill sauce. You can't go wrong with any of the other options either.“
“I love love love this place! The tacos are my favorite - handmade corn tortillas surround the tastiest fillings - I have no favorite as they are all equally delicious. And agua frescas are the perfect companion (pro tip - take it all home and add blanco tequila for a tasty adult beverage) Ans the people who work there are kind and friendly. 11 out of 10 every time!“
“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.“
Food Trucks • $
“Wonderful owners, food, and service. Would come here again. My family is Guyanese and we’d recommend anything on their menu. The only thing we didn’t get to try out is their chow mein and salt fish bc they sold out, but that’s a good sign, haha. We’ll make our way back soon.“
“I’ve been eating here just about 3-7 times a month for 5 months now, and every time the food gets better. The menu is incredibly well crafted and every time the food tastes just as good if not more so than before. Not only is the food amazing, the staff has the best customer service skills I’ve ever encountered from an eatery. Simply put, this might very well be the best place to eat in Portland.Side note, the quantity of food you get with their combo meals is unbeatable, and it absolutely doesn’t lack in quality either.“
“Food truck pod with delicious options. All the food trucks we've tried are delicious!My faves are Jin Dak (the bi bim bop is so good!!), Miasha (mouthwatering Kenyan dishes), & Taste of Casablanca (the lamb is insanely tender and seasoned). You really can't go wrong with any of the options here and I appreciate that they have covered and heated seat areas.“
“A Lil pricey but great food definitely worth it! The lamb available on Fridays I only wish was more tender fall off the bone but when you got a leg of lamb as big as they serve that is hard to do without cooking for at least 6 to 8 hours of the day and they were really close to that level of tenderness and growing up with such dishes has definitely raised my expectations. The Meza platter is disappointing especially with such small portions which are hard to share for more than 2 people. The pita is always quick to dry. The sweets always sell out except the cheesecake which was good nonetheless. I love the tea but dislike the round bases of the cups making them unsteady but never spilled just a small minor nusicence for me. Overall I recommend going here with friendly staff and great vibes!“
“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).“
“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.“
“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.“
“After reading so good reviews of this place, this was on my must try out list when in PDX.The restaurant owner is a very sweet guy. Our order was ready on time.Now the rolls… They were amazing. We had lime roll and spicy jackfruit roll. Both were too good. Jackfruit one was such unique one to try. All the flavours were balanced.Why 4 stars… We found a piece of a metal in one of the roll. We had our kiddo enjoying these and it would have been a big mess if it was accidentally swallowed.Apart from this one thing, everything was good.Will try other items on the menu when in pdx next time.“
Mexican • $
“I went to the food cart location and saw they now have gone brick and mortar. How exciting!! I had their street tacos and some Birria Consomé. Sooo super yummy!!There was plenty of parking and it is wheelchair accessible. The place looks clean. Hands down, these are the best street tacos I've ever had!“
“So I show up around 2 on a Friday and he’s out of all the chicken. He could tell by the look on my face that I was disappointed (not necessarily with the chx being out, people dig this place and bought him out, but with how my week and day had been going) and he gave me a huge portion of everything else and wouldn’t take my money. Aside from this man being extremely generous…. THE FOOD WAS FRICKIN AWESOME!!! When I’m back in town I will most definitely be visiting here again and repaying the kindness. Thank you so much not just for the food but your act of kindness changed my day. Much love to this place“
“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 “
“Though this food cart's menu is heavy on meat, I always get a veggie burrito which is packed with cheese, beans, avocado as well as other veggies. The tasty burrito is huge and is more than I can eat in one sitting. Service is fast and friendly.“
“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.“
Brewery • $$
“A pleasant place for a dog and a brew.No longer a place for a dog. Now they have the excellent Ranch Pizza serving from their food window. So pizza and a beer. What's not to love?They still have the beer and their variety has grown. I highly recommend their Leather-Bound brown ale.Plus they have food carts. Win. Win. Win.“
“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!“
“Literally can't not tell you how amazing this place is. Not only are they the KINDEST humans, but the food was beyond incredible. I was craving shrimp, and it was not on the regular menu since it's a random special. Surprisingly, he said he had some and would make it for me. We had the lollipop garlic noodles which were DELICIOUS, tofu, the fried chicken, and shrimp garlic noodles. They were so accommodating. We will be back 1 million percent.“
“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.“
“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!“
“Matt's BBQ is our go to weekend brunch! They serve delicious breakfast tacos all day long as well as typical taco fare. The tacos are served with an array of sauces for your liking. I love the green sauce! I would recommend adding their house made queso to any taco! My husband especially enjoys the GOAT taco, which does not include goat meat! It really is the greatest of all time. We will 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.“
“My son had the Spicy Gochujang fried chicken and I had the snow cheese fried chicken. The food was good. All the chicken is double fried which makes it nice and super crispy. The snow cheese was sweet kind of like a parmesan cheese coating. It was good but I found it to be a little too much coating. I think I would have enjoyed it more had it been a little less of a coating but that's my own personal thought. My son really liked the Spicy Gochujang fried chicken. I thought it was going to be real spicy and I tried some of the sauce and it was really good and not overly spicy. He also got the kimchi macaroni and cheese which he enjoyed. All came with a side of pickled daikon radishes that were absolutely fantastic.Each came with three wings that were bone in and huge! I was really surprised at how large the wings were. Overall we would definitely go back again.You can also get your food and go into the tap House that it's connected to to have a beer or order a beer and bring it out to the food court! Fun little atmosphere and fantastic customer service!“
“Tokyo Sando was scrumptious and flavorsome. We got and tried a few things. Got the egg Sando and it was delightful. I am a sucker for some good egg salad and theirs hits that spot lol. We also got the Naka sando, miso chicken katsu sando, and the miso pork katsu sando. All the sandos were crunchy and the meats juicy! Blended extremely well with the bread. The bread is soft and buttery. Not pictured is the chicken karaage. It was yummy, crunchy and was like popcorn chicken. I’m happy they moved and DIDN’t permanently close. I have more items I want to try, so I will be back.The hours and product are limited so go earlier than later. We went on a Saturday around noonish and it BUSY! The wait can seem long but it really isn’t. This place is popular and well worth it. Parking can be rough but manageable.“
“Hot damn, the meatballs are UNREAL. So fresh and incredible flavor. First time at this food truck and the portions are HUGE, the pasta was so fresh, and seating patio was perfect even in the winter in Oregon! Heated and covered! 10/10 and the owner was so kind and provided the best most welcoming service. This was our first time and was such a hidden surprise!“
“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!“
“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!“
“Eat like a Sherpa preparing for winter. Fresh house made dumplings (Momos), delicious noodle dishes, even fried delights! Like it sweaty spicy? Done...or not. Diverse options to fit your food preferences. Real Nepal food with a few fun twists. Don't miss out on this gem tucked away in The Zed, you'll be back again and again!Vegetarian options: Almost every dish has a Vegetarian option.Kid-friendliness: Most of The Zed is kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: The Zed is wheelchair accessible from multiple entry points.“
“Really great sandwiches, yucca fries, and plantains! I enjoyed the Lomo Saltado and the Yucca Patty sandwiches when I tried them in the past, but lately the standout for me is the Inca Chicken. That's my go-to order now—it is so tasty. Get the spicy version! ?Also the staff is super friendly and warm! I'm glad they're at the Mercado.Parking: There is an attached lot for the Mercado but it's really easy to find street parking nearby“
“Best burger I've had in Oregon! The meat is so flavorful, and it's almost as thin as a smashburger. Crispiness on the edges of the meat is perfection. The bun is fried with butter too for a perfect crust. And the fries are great too. Came on a Saturday for lunch, and it's not too busy.“
“First time I’ve been here in awhile usually I do the drunken noodles or waterfall beef this time I wanted to try something new so went with the salt and pepper tofu and mango sticky rice which were absolutely great she never disappoints and is very helpful with recommendations as well definitely stop by this place if you get the “
“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!“
“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.“
“Came through for another food truck but since they were about to open I wanted to try their Thai iced tea. Thai iced tea is good. Not super sweet or too strong. You'd be surprised how some places could get this really wrong. Curry chicken puff is delish. Flaky and perfectly balanced. It wasn't all pastry and no meat like some places. Coming back to try their curries, mini bites and their dessert.“
“I just ordered from this food cart for the first time via GrubHub and was very pleased. The delivery was quick, the food was warm and exceptionally delicious.I ordered the coconut rice bowl and one smoked shotgun shell. Super yummy! Maybe a new fave.“
“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“
“I enjoyed the carnitas burrito and the free salsa! cute location with the fire pit. I thought the rice/insides of the burrito could've used more flavor but the carnitas was well cooked and not too greasy. I'll try again soon! also enjoyed the warm and open demeanor of the person taking orders ?“
“Looks like Fofo has sold their food cart, according to the owner of the adjacent cart.This place had some of the best food I've had in my life. I could easily drop $100 getting 7+ items to enjoy over a couple days.The couple was always nice and looked like they loved what they did.Also one of the only places in town you could get fresh dolma that hasn't been sitting in a fridge for hours.I wish them the best in whatever else they do in life.“
“They used to be at East Port food cars on 82nd but now they move inside fopo tavern 5902 se foster rd same delicious food like before and the best part is now I can get food until late (tacos. quesatacos, burritos, tortas, bowls wings , pork belly asada, pastor, carnitas, chorizo, Birria and yes they do have veggie options so if you get a chance stop by“
“As a Thai, I can confidently say that Thai Yummy Food Cart is a taste of home. The Oo-la-la wings are the best in town; I just couldn't get enough. The Eggplant Mania is also my absolute favorite. Their flavorful and spicy dishes always hit the spot! With fresh, tasty options and friendly service, it's a top pick for an authentic Thai experience. If you find yourself at OSHU, don't miss this one – truly recommended.“
“Ribeye tacos!!! Mouth watering, so good.... I ate the whole plate.. no left overs for husband.. we will be returning again, and again, and again, and again... then we went shopping for clothes at MORBS clothes next door. This place rocks!! I can't wait to try the steak tacos... ? and then the panini!!“
“Delicious Cali burrito and their pastor is top notch. We try A LOT of Mexican food and food trucks in the Portland area and their pastor is definitely very high up on the "Best in Portland" list for sure.They are very friendly and welcoming here.“
“Great sliders. Got their buffalo chicken special and it was a little spicy, but still good.Vegetarian options: Only two vegetarian-specific slider options when I went. They offer portobello or black bean burger substitutes for patties on all others. Sadly many included bacon and there’s no sub for that.“
“Senyo by Ramen Ippo is the best ramen in Portland. Dice is absolutely amazing at what he does.His tan tan is incredibly well balanced. The broth is almost creamy, yet so smooth. Very satisfying on a cold, wet day.Their garden ramen is fresh, healthy. We get it a little spicy (level 3 out of 5).Go early so you can get one of his amazing eggs!Six stars out of five!“
“This place is soooo cute! It’s like an outdoor living room that makes me never want to leave. The cheesesteak is so delicious here and the beer selection is great! Spike is the biggest bonus here for he’s the best dog in the world! (Don’t feed him) This place is great for kids with all of the games and a giant TV! Tell all your “
“I was too impatient to take a photo but let me tell ya…. Everything was scrumptious and I will for sure be returning very soon. You definitely have to try the loaded baked potato fries! The Pig Out burger and the fly pig chicken sandwich was also delicious. This place is on point you can not be disappointed.“
“Not generally a pizza fan but every component of this pizza was perfect. Thin, chewy, crust perfectly golden with the right amount of gently burnt bits, crispy pepperoni, perfect cohesion of sauce and cheese. One of the few places you can grab a tasty meal for $10.“
“This is some of the best Korean food, and maybe the best fried chicken I've ever had. I've eaten here multiple times, and brought several friends to try, and we've never had anything but outstanding food. Truly one of the hidden gems of the regional food scene.“
