We didn't order much since we were expecting it to be just okay, but everything exceeded expectations. The flavors were on point and definitely left an impression.

We rarely have the opportunity to…read moreget their bbq since their foot truck is primarily base in Hood River, but when Grasslands comes to town (downtown Portland), then you drop your plans and get in line! It's worth every dollar....EVERY.DAMN.TIME!! Today we got the beef cheeks (deliciously tender and fatty), 2 types of smoked sausages, pork burnt ends, the BEEF RIB (to die for), and for sides we got Mac n cheese, and the brisket birria baked beans. About $120 all in. Nice being able to grab a few beers while we waited in line at Ruse Brewing. The food, grasslands bbq community, and the good vibes are really something special and worth the wait. We are blessed in the NW. 10/10 I'd recommend them to anyone visiting Oregon.

I've been here a few times since writing my first review…read more Customer service is always great. The staff always greets me with a smile. This is definitely a great lunch option if you are very, very hungry for Mexican street food and want to get very full for less than $15. The burritos are delicious and taste authentic and fresh, but they're also so overwhelmingly greasy that it detracts from how good they are. If I don't eat the whole burrito at once-- which is hard to do since the burrito is huge-- the tortilla is so soggy with grease that it's not very good after a few hours. I'm not sure if my first burrito was a fluke, but no burrito has been quite the same since. So, I guess it's a little hit or miss, but the portions are always huge. Ironically, I think they may have recognized me from my Yelp review, and tried to give me a better burritos by giving me one with way more meat, rice, and beans. The reason I loved the first burrito so much was because it had such a great amount of other toppings. I love when there's enough Pico de Gallo, guacamole, and sour cream to get some in every bite. I still think this is a great food cart, and the portions are huge, but I may have originally overrated the flavor a little bit. I love the look of this truck and the customer service and the vibes but the burritos are just a little too greasy for me. I would still come back here again in the future to try their tacos and other menu items.

It was really refreshing, not too sweet. We got the Pork Belly Bahn Mi...the pork was perfectly rendered and crispy, juicy and meaty. The bread was different than a normal baguette style banh mi...more of a Mexican torta roll, but super fresh, soft and paired perfectly with the crispy pork and tangy veggies . All in all, a great sandwich. We also got the fried spring rolls, perfectly fried and served with sweet chili sauce, spicy peanut sauce, and a spicy fish sauce. All were super tasty. We got the special pork skewers, which seemed to be ground pork, very well seasoned and skewered on lemongrass, which was a nice touch. It came served with rice and lettuce, fresh jalapeño's to make wraps. Delicious. We also got the vermicelli salad with ahi tuna, seared medium rest. The fish was super fresh tasting, well seared, but could have used some seasoning. The vermicelli was tossed in a miso ginger dressing which also lacked seasoning. All in all, we really enjoyed the meal. I would go back over and over for the banh mi and pork skewers.

I have been so disappointed by barbecue in the Pacific Northwest over the last few years, but I gotta say this is a small diamond in the rough. The farm pile over mac & cheese and then I had pulled pork, chicken, brisket, meatloaf they were all really good. The chicken had a unfamiliar sweet taste to it. It wasn't bad, but not my cup of tea. Personally, the pulled pork was a little dry, but as to be expected, it wasn't sauced, but once you put some sauce on it wasn't bad at all they were out of burnt ends unfortunately which are my personal fave. The brisket was good as well overall I would eat here again. I just would probably order a lot less, but I tend to try everything in a new place for me not quite five star dining but it could be there with some tweaks. We'll definitely look forward to coming back in the coming months.

Their breakfast burritos are fabulous, really loaded with eggs, potatoes and chorizo. Easily two meals for me! My friend had the tamales and said they were legit. Service is friendly and as fast as it can be based on making food fresh when you order. They are open everyday (except Sunday) from 10-4pm. They have a shaded tented spot if you want to eat there. Next to Ayala is an empanada food cart so pick up some sweet or savory empanadas while you are here.

During our first visit, we arrived kind of late, and there was only one loaf of bread left, and two small baguettes, and so we bought everything they had and a couple coffees and a chai latte to take with us to the cabin. That ended up being an incredible choice because the baguettes made amazing grilled cheese sandos in our little kitchenette, and the rye bread was a hit for breakfast with avocado. The chai was delicious and the coffee was stellar. We stopped back in for lunch on our way back home, and had yummy breakfast sandwiches that were delicious! My croissant breakfast sandwich was next level with delicious bacon and flaky, buttery croissant deliciousness that I would have once more in a heartbeat! It's a lively little joint, located in the great part of town , with wonderful young folks running the place and a great mix of tourists and locals.
