“I got the Evergreen Bowl. It was tasty, filling, and well-rounded/healthy compared to other restaurant options in the area. The order was ready promptly and the person that helped me was super nice. As for the atmosphere: It's a food truck, so it's what you'd expect and I have zero complaints about that.“

“The best North Indian we have had in USA. Food was cooked to suit my high spice level tolerance and 0 spice level for my kids. We had the yummiest dal and butter chicken with garlic naan. Food was excellent but service was even better. My 4 year old wanted plain roti which was not even on the menu. But the owner is such a kind soul that he specially got flour kneaded for him and didn't even let us pay for it.“

“The best beef shawarma I've ever had. Better than ones I've gotten in major cities like Lima, Buenos Aires, Rio or Mexico City. Definitely give this place a try. Prices are decent also. Really appreciated everything was rounded up a whole dollar. Made paying in cash easier“

“Came for a late stop around 1am. It was brightly lit and attention was prompt, friendly, and thorough! They double checked to make sure orders were well communicated. I got a lamb gyro (11.99$) with no alterations.
The pita bread was soft and yummy. There was a good portion of meat and overall was great. The only critique was that there was too much sauce, though the sauces were very good.“

“Nice cart pod. Has covered seating and a)gas) fire pit. Seems very pet friendly which is probably a plus for some people and a minus for others. Not a ton of food carts but a very good variety. Matt's barbecue is pretty famous. Around town. Is also a brewery stall that's quite large. And it's a good neighborhood to walk around in window shop or shop-shop.“

“Wow! Honestly, best tacos we’ve had in PDX. Great service and fresh ingredients. We had the taco plate, with asada - the asada was crispy and flavorful. The tortillas were handmade! Rice and beans were good as well. We also tried the tacos dorados with potato. They were nice and warm, crunchy, everything was just great!!!“

“This is one of my wife and I’s fav spots when we are needing some quick tasty grub. The Pad Kee Mao is always so aromatic and flavorful with the perfect amount of heat. Dom, the owner is always so sweet when we come pick up and we love having her food cart in the Mississippi Ave neighborhood.“

“This is a great food cart pod area. There is a fantastic variety of different options. The layout is also really great. It has tables and chairs and areas for dogs. What I especially love is that there is a coffee cart which is superb. I highly recommend the Bite on Belmont. It is a great setting.“

“Cartopia is the epitome of Portland. If you wanna feel that hipster, tattooed, weird Portland vibe... Cartopia has your back! No judgement... I'm the weirdo that is tatted and pierced like the rest of us!
First cart we noticed was beer and BBQ... smelled amazing. We saw a little bit of everything. Fries, pizza, Pad Thai, Gyro, and tacos. It has a decent variety if you're taking a couple friends.
We unfortunately came on an extra cool and rainy day. It's nice if you're snuggled up to a fire pit but the other tables not near fire are pretty chilly and you're probably going to get rained on.
NOTE: There are NO BATHROOMS here. They have the Honey Buckets in the back corner which felt kinda gross with two food carts right next door. How exactly do they empty the Honey Buckets that close to food? Hmmm.
No reason to let that impact the overall 5-star rating... maybe better planning next time?
We'll likely go back if we're in the neighborhood. It was decent.“

“We stopped here while visiting from Chicago. We do not have food cart pods like this at home and I love the concept. This particular pod was among the two best that we visited. We had beer and Indian food and both were above average. I particularly liked the DIY, unpretentious demeanor of the eating space. It had less infrastructure than other pods but for me that was even better, in terms of staying true to the original concept and controlling costs. I just felt at home. Keep it up!“

“Hesitant to recommend this because we were able to get a table on a Friday night, and if it gets too popular we may not be able to get a table. But this food cart pod & beer garden is sooo cute, sooo Portland, and sooo yum. Try the strawberry rhubarb sparkling citrus booze. Enjoy! ps if y’all get live music one of these days, I’m moving back from NYC for you. Xoxo food cart girl“

“Very nice family friendly place with with lots of good food“
“I live very close to this place and I love a few of these food carts specifically the chicken and jo jo truck there special jo jos are amazing and there secret batter is the best crispy and perfect mix of seasonings not to salty and then perfect size cut potato wedges not to much potato that it makes it to much to the point you are not able to even enjoy the battered coating this is perfect am need buttery goodness they are deep-fried but amazing you can get a full order or a half order and then the choices of chicken strips or sandwiches you can choose from are very creative and you will not find anything like this anywhere else don't forget there dipping sauce for the jo jos as well also very great and no other place will have it so you have to go to this one specifically to try them it's the food trucks on Powell and 35th between the dollars store and Chipotle the food carts are right between the two businesses and the chicken and jo jo truck is tricked away in back in the center of all the trucks you can't miss it“

“Loved the convenience and it was nice that they have a little bar with happy hour. The pad Thai from Little Thai Peacock was delicious. I was disappointed with the shrimp dumplings from Shanghai’s best plus the server was extremely rude to me.“
“I really enjoyed this pod! There are 8+ different places to eat and the food here is wonderful. My wife and I personally tried , "flew the coop" and "La Arepa" and both had great service and the food was delicious. The attached brewery had an amazing selection of beers. The only detractor was that there was A Lot of very hoppy beers. That is a personal preference though. The Beer I did have was delicious. It's very family friendly and I enjoyed it.“

“I eat here all the time, weekly or biweekly! It is my favorite local Thai spot, the people who work there are so nice & the food is some of the best Thai in the city. The fresh rolls and panang curry especially 😍 so happy they’re in the neighborhood!“
“Alberta Alley is a fantastic group of small local restaurants nestled into one centralized location. Focusing on local food and small business. Eat in or take out. Great outdoor seating, art, and a great neighborhood. All the food is fantastic. Grab a cocktail and and local food.“
“Never written a review before but gotta share that this was super good. Honestly better than it needed to be and I’m thrilled about. I had the kalbi chicken with Mac. The dish was simple, no frills, but the cook on the chicken was excellent. The flavor was delish. Even the rice was perfect.
Thanks so much.“
“This place is so cool! You're just strolling along, minding your own business when suddenly BAM! Food! It's an entire block of different ethnic food. Mostly Mediterranean, but plenty of other places too. Gyros, shawarma, Mexican, cajun and more, all wrapped around an empty parking lot. Come hungry!“

“The good: there are a good number of trucks, at least 9-10, almost all open. All mouthwatering. Everyone was friendly. The food we had was really fantastic. Would eat here again.The semi cons: while it will be great when done, the construction means less seating and more dirt. It wasn’t a problem and will give the carts access to public water. So it should pay off. Also, it seemed a little dead, even though it was around lunchtime.“

“So far I've eaten at 3 out of 6 of the carts here (I'm including the Pour House in the count even though it's a bar).
Rollin' Fresh - Very good sushi with a twist (burrito style!)
Bajala - Excellent tacos, very fresh, with lots of flavor. (Separate review on their google maps entry)
Village Kitchen - so far my favorite Burmese food in the Northwest district and there something like 4 other Burmese restaurants.
I'll get to the rest soon enough.“
“Found this place in this neat little food pod spot that might be my new favorite, the food was great and the guy working was very friendly too. We even got an Oreo in each of our chips (which he doesn’t skimp on either) Definitely my new favorite grilled cheese cart!!“

“A few food trucks, but not as much variety as I had hoped. Some trucks offer the same type of food. We enjoyed the food, even though the fries were undercooked. Greek, Indian, Italian, and Mexican cuisine available, along with a sushi truck.“
“The food is amazing, the music was a little annoyingly loud though. There is so much concrete and speakers, this is just my opinion, but it felt a little stressful. Lowering the volume (during the day time) I think would be a more.pleasant experience.“

“Genuine Kindness is hard to come by these days, I went with my client because she wanted to get good at another cart in the same location. I had been craving Indian for a while and I was so excited there was Indian cart, the nice gentleman peeped out the window and I had already blurred out my order for him to tell him they was closed. NOTE: I was so oblivious to the sign my hungry self didn’t see it cause the window was still open. I said “oh my bad im sorry thank you.” TELL ME WHY this gentleman was like “oh no I’ll prepare it anyway!! “ I was so embarrassed and i offered my card to pay to the man say NO it’s okay YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY! 😭 I was so shocked. I been craving Indian food for weeks, and I’m here getting free food on the week of my birthday 😭 he’s packing this order up and he gives out two sodas and a free dessert with it 😭 I loveeee the Indian culture, I’m a huge fan , and I never anticipated this much kindness. The food surpassed my expectations and filled my heart. Great service, great food. I hope god blesses his people, his home, his business keeps flourishing. Thank you for all that you do 🙏 thank you for making my birthday week 😊“
