    Food truck
    Carmen H.

    Coastal Vibes was amazing. My husband and I really wanted some fish and chips while visiting Portland, and found this place. It's located at Food Cart Pod, along with other food trucks. We were able to order right away. The owner was friendly and answered all of our questions. We ordered the fish and chips and the seafood chowder. It was a small wait, but the owner brought our food to us. We were sitting at a table and purchased some lemonade from another food truck. Since it was a little chilly, we ate in the car. The food was piping hot, yet soooo delicious. It had a ton of flavor. The seafood chowder was the perfect consistency with chunks of clams and shrimp. We hate that this place is all the way in Oregon because we would definitely be frequent customers. If you're looking for some great seafood in the area, definitely check this place out!

    I ordered the three piece rockfish basket for $18. It was about a 10 minute wait so the fish was fresh and hot. The batter wasn't too thick. It was crispy and flavorful with and without tartar sauce. The coleslaw was a bit tangy but a refreshing balance to the tator tots (choice of tots or fries). I would be back to try other menu items and hope they offer shrimp plates in the future.

    Located near a bunch of other food carts, just on the side of a building, it's hard to tell this place is there but once you notice it you have to try it! I came by on a Wednesday evening with pretty much no one else around so service of course was quick. Both the server and the chef were great making sure I had what I needed and knew all about their offerings! They were not kidding about the fish and chips with the hot honey sauce being amazing! I would definitely recommend trying that out! As for the option for sides, they had fries, tots and, sidewinder fries. I ended up with normal fries and they were seasoned perfectly! I haven't had fries this well seasoned from a food truck ever! Would highly recommend anyone looking for fish and chips to come here, they also had a seafood chowder which was also great, had all kinds of great seafood in it! I'll definitely need to return when they have their calamari in stock, I'm sure it's as good as the rest of their food!

    Regular fries - well seasoned and were delicious.

    Food: 4.5/5 -Rockfish was like eating Halibut. -Fries was nicely seasoned. Customer Service: 5/5 -Genuine service. We're willing to give us a water for free when I told them I forgot my wallet and would be back. I came back to pay for the water because these are the services I would love to see everywhere.

    The most beautiful words you might ever hear 'Do you want a sample of the chowder?' Unless you have an allergy, the answer is yes! It's so good. The cod is flaky and delicious. The fries were good, but a bit generic. I'd try the sidewinders or tots next time. Now if you'll excuse me, I need another cup of chowder.

    One of the best seafood food truck in Oregon! Perfectly breaded and the quality of the fish is so fresh and tasty and the sidewinder fries is so crispy and perfectly seasoned. The calm chowder is really good! I got the cod fish and chips basket and clam chowder cup. Very friendly people and prices are really good for the quality of food you get. I definitely recommend this food truck and I will definitely be back!

    Friendly people and the cod was good. Took about 10 minutes on a busy night. There was a live band playing in front.

    The fish is so delicious--melts in your mouth! I just wish they were open more often. I'd go all the time!

    I grew up on the Oregon Coast and I have to say that their fish and chips were on par with the best I have ever had!

    Oh, now this is actually a really unique new addition to our fish & chips landscape! The fish at…read moreleast is battered with a wonderful cornmeal coating that makes it come out absolutely un-greasy, super crunchy, and very nicely tasty! The coating even held up perfectly to the steelhead I ordered, which, as you know if you love steelhead like I do, is a very fatty/oily delicate fish. I've tried making beer batter with steelhead before and it both breaks apart too easily and also, the oil and fat of the fish make the coating get soggy very fast. Not here! The steelhead was super fresh and tasty. But wait, there's more, much, much more...! When I say that I mean the portions. Holy fabulous fish fry fantasy, Batman! These are BIG chunks of fish, each about the size of half a fillet! See the picture! I ended up giving 1 away to some people near me (who LOVED it) because there was no way I could eat all this! Even with that, I was so full, I could only eat like 3 french fries. And, the fries were very good, handmade, thick cut wedges, not quite jojo's, but thick enough to be super fluffy inside. But, that's not all...! She said she makes everything from scratch, including the tartar sauce. Oh, I love tartar sauce for my fish and chips, and this one was SO gooooooooood! Now, I can't imagine she made the ketchup, but I was very happy to find that, instead of a few measly commercial packets, I got two, count 'em, TWO nice big containers for dipping, much better than most carts. This was the perfect mix of protein and a bit of carbs before a hard bike ride down the Springwater and back!

    Felt like some catfish. So ordered me 2 piece combo with fries. Catfish was perfectly moist, but…read morelacked seasoning prior to breading and the panko not a fan of as it makes it crispy. Maybe I'm so used to good fried fish in Chicago. Fries were hard and over fried and crunchy. Service was nice. Maybe it was an off day for fries. And panko is just a preference for me but did lack seasoning. Was ok and then fries were bad.

    I don't know why there are all these attack reviews for this cart. The one that is not filtered…read moreand is the "first to review" is also fake, as it refers to Cajun seasoning which this truck DOES NOT USE. I've been there, I know. As Google+ will attest, with their over 100 5.0 star reviews, this is really good fish and chips! The cod is amazingly fresh and has that almost nutty flavor that fresh off the boat and line caught fish can have. The batter is crisp and not oily at all, which is an accomplishment in and of itself, as many of our most popular f&c carts might deliver wonderful fish in a crispy crust, but absolutely LOADED with oily oily OIL after being twice-fried. The tots, which used to be at the olympics-level of interest here in PDX, are really great too! I would rate this right up there with Horsebrass, but it's less expensive and I"m downtown much more than I am at middle SE Belmont.

    Long story short - this place has the ability to be a 5/5, but lack of communication and long wait…read moretimes will eventually be their downfall! I was in Portland for 36hrs and wanted some fried seafood and chowder as you should when you're in the PNW! Came across this place and decide to check it out. They're located in an enclosed lot with a variety of food trucks and they are the only fried fish place that I saw. Upon arrival, there was no line, but waited about 7-mins before the guy working came to take our order. We decided to get a "fish & shrimp basket" and although they don't actually offer it, I was told it was ok and we would have shrimp. I paid and was handed a remote that buzzes when the food is done. After about 40-45 minutes, I walked up to the truck to see what the hold up was and was told, "almost done!" I nodded and smiled and sat back down. After another 15-mins, I went back up to check again, and same thing. Finally after over an hour, our food was ready! Got back to my table and noticed I had no shrimp! So, I had to go back up to let him know and had to wait another 15-mins and he only gave me (5) shrimp! So, long wait time & wrong order, with no remorse! I know something was wrong when the burger place next to them were putting out 10-15 orders for everyone one order our fish place was putting out. In the case of the food...?! The food is delicious - a 5/5 for sure, but this rating is for the overall experience. I would have prefer to be told that the wait would be X number of minute and I then could have decided to order it go elsewhere. The fish was very good, but those shrimps are a must have! We spent a total of $34 and that was with the tip. I would say a little bit over what I think I should have paid, especially for the hassle. I will give them another chance and hopefully I can change this rating!
