    Italian sandwich
    Charlie T.

    Im glad that I tried this place out as it had one of the best sandwiches in town! I had their Italian sandwich and am waiting for the next chance to go back there and try some of their other items or just may get the same thing again. There's something about their bread and the combination of ingredients that just makes it a wonderful sandwich. Parking in the area can be a challenge, but its well worth it.

    Loved the portion and contents of this sandwich so much but the gluten-free bread was almost inedible. It's probably filled with potato and rice starch because it was degrading every time I took a bite and didn't like the taste either. I wish they had other gf bread options, I'm sure their regular bread is absolutely delicious

    Italian $16

    Love the location ~ off of Vancouver, cute outdoor courtyard to chill and eat your sandwich. Taste is good & fresh. The not so better half ~ despite 3 employees and no one else in the shop, the wait for our 2 sandwiches wasted most of the lunch hour at 25 minutes. The half-sized sandwich is priced very high $16, extra sauce $1 more, soft drink = $20 then add on the request for a tip. Expensive.

    Best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had! I usually get the eat your veggies! And add bacon. For a lunch sandwich I typically get the chipotle chicken grinder. It is SOO GOOD! I go here almost weekly. The place is clean and the employees are very friendly! The prices are reasonable for the quality of food you're getting. Go you won't be disappointed

    This food truck is amazing! The menu is two side-by-side lists: one is the sandwiches listed as meat versions, and the other is the same sandwiches listed as vegan versions. Breakfast sandwiches are served all day. Such creative sandwiches with the freshest and best ingredients. I highly recommend the one with broccolini. Honestly wish I lived in Portland so I could go here regularly. Huge portions and reasonable prices. Staff was super friendly and kind!

    Not bad sandwiches or anything, but not special enough to want to come back. I had like a sriracha pork sandwich that was pretty tasty but a tad sweet but good with the cilantro sort of banh mi style. Ive also tried the vegan Italian, which wasn't too bad for a veggie sammie. They used the tofurkey style slices as the meat which I don't enjoy but the oil and vinegar, freshness of veggies and good bread still made it a decent sandwich. You order from iPads inside, and they also have vegan versions of all their regular sandwiches.

    I came here while I was visiting family in Oregon. My cousin brought me here because she loves it. She said I'd love it too. And I did. Only downside is they didn't have their in house chips. But it's ok. I had the pork Banh mi. It almost looks like vegan meat lol it taste great. Not an authentic Banh mi. But still good. The bread was more of a ciabatta type. The pickled veggies made it a Banh mi. Service was good. Speedy and accurate for a party of 8. So shout out to the crew. That's it. Nothing much else to add. Keep up the good work

    Cold drink case and order kiosk
    Tara R.

    A place that serves sandwiches and doesn't have an upcharge for gluten-free bread?!?! Holy goodness. That is almost unheard of. I love that you can order at a kiosk and there are plenty of carnivore/veggie/vegan options. And gluten free, of course. Service was friendly and prices are decent. They are expanding their breakfast sandwiches to be served near Prost sometime soon, so I will definitely check that location out as well.

    As a vegan who loved Mexican food prior to becoming vegan, I have long lamented the dearth of good…read morevegan Mexican food -- indeed, prior to discovering Mis Tacones, the best vegan tacos I've eaten were beans, guac and a vegan cabbage slaw. And they were pretty good, but clearly lacking the flavor fully marinated meat flavors that tacos are famous for. BUT -! Tonight my dreams came true when I ordered -- and promptly devoured -- the vegan carne asada taco. Never have my taste buds danced with such ecstatic bliss as when savoring this bliss of spicy sabrosa-ness! Next I sampled the 3 Hermanos Empanada-- the interior was and cashew crema was delicious...and here is my only critique: the masa-based "pastry" (that enfolds the interior) was too heavy and dense. Now, truth be told my standards are epically high for empanadas, as I come from THE OTHER PORTLAND (Maine) and, as odd as this sounds for such a white-bread state, the best empanadas I've ever eaten (and there is a long list of empanada places I have eaten in NYC and SF) is in Portland Maine (it's called Quiero, and for good reason). So if I could conjure the greatest empanada ever made, it would involve the pastry shell from Quiero in Portland Maine with the interior 3 Hermanos filling from Mis Tacones in PDX. Mic drop, I'm out! Ps. Incredibly colorful, arty and fun interior. Pps. Cute queer staff who steered me right and are definitely flirt-worthy.

I'm definitely neither a vegetarian nor someone who appreciates vegetarian/vegan places that rely only on firm plain tofu or some other reformed soy products carby patty things as their protein source. So when I go to a vegetarian or vegan restaurant, I tend to order dishes where I can still see and recognize the actual ingredients. I was very happy with my calamari (oyster mushroom rings). The crust was crunchy and savory, it almost felt like eating flavored chips or other crunchy snacks like the Korean brand onion ring snacks. Inside the mushrooms were well cooked, they were hot and juicy. As a lover of savory crunchy snacks and mushrooms, this dish had me at the first bite, and I didn't even need the dipping sauce (but the sauce was good though). I finished the whole plate! My partner is a vegetarian, and he loved his bowl. I had one bite of it. The chicken popcorn looked quite real, but I still prefer real chicken popcorn. The gravy potato was a bit plain and light for my liking, but then again, I'm not someone who seasons food with only salt and pepper and put mayo and ketchup on everything, so you can be your own judge there. The ginger lime soda was super refreshing, zesty and icy, and it was perfectly sweetened to my taste. Staff were friendly and nice, indoor was warm and bright. Definitely a place worth to come back for the mushrooms and drink!

I came with three friends for lunch; we all placed individual orders then took our numbers (on a small standup sign) back to our table to chat and enjoy the day. Soon food came for the two men in our party, and we women encouraged them to eat rather than wait on our food. So eat they did, and in another 10 or so minutes more food arrived, but not my order. After a short discussion we realized that my food had been given to one of the men, and he had eaten it; now the food he actually ordered arrived, leaving him with two meals and me with none. Our server seemed to think it was our fault that we got the wrong food, and brought me a roti to eat but never replaced my meal. I was not pleased to have spent $17.50 for a serving of roti, which wasn't exactly the lunch I had paid for. I think i wpuld have liked the food if I'd had a chance to eat what I ordered. it would be most appropriate for the restaurant to refund my money since, through no fault of my own, I did not receive the food I paid for. It was the server who mistakenly put my food down elsewhere, and my friend who ate it had no idea it wasn't his. Unfortunately there was not so much as an apology, and I won't be returning to Mirasata.
