I have been looking for a food cart place like this and now I have found it. There is a welcoming…read moreatmosphere throughout the venue. Plenty of places to sit for solo diners to large-ish groups. Much of the seating is covered, and heated when the weather calls for it, and everything is kept clean. But people likely come here for the food, and this place doesn't dissapoint. There is a huge variety, from waffles, to Thai, to Sushi, Fish & chips, Mexican and so much more. There is even a bar in the back. I have to give a shout out to Smaaken Waffle Sandwiches. My partner had the chicken and waffle sandwich, and they were pretty happy about it. I had the Kid size PB & Bananas with honey, and OMG it was nummy. I took home half because it was a large serving. The waffles were perfect: crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. If you enjoy food cart dining, (or just haven't found a place you like), I encourage you to try this elevated cart dining experience. *I would caution people with mobility issues to not use the entrance at the corner, and use one of the other entrances instead.

When I moved here last year, Calle is one of the first places I ate and man have I conjured up somewhat of an addiction to this place. A spicy food lover, I get the Diablo dog with extra fresh jalapeños on the top. Sometimes I even get two! It's a good day when Calle is open. The owner is a super good guy who's hard working and has a knack for flavors. Fresh veggies and awesome ingredients makes for a consistently delicious meal. Also they're fresh burgers and quesadillas are an absolute treat. The only downside is that they're not open 24/7. Love Calle!

If I'm being honest, I hate using the word "cute." It feels like something you say about a puppy or…read morea teacup, not a place to grab a bite. But here we are Milwaukie Station Food Carts Pod & Beer Garden is... kind of cute. There, I said it. Tucked right next to the TriMet station, it sits in this neat little corner that feels clean, organized, and surprisingly polished for a transit-side stop. What immediately stands out is the lineup. Spots like Good & Evil Wrap Company (which, let me tell you, looks dangerously good), Puddletown Bagels, Kappany, and a handful of others give you a solid variety from Greek-inspired eats to bagels to Chinese food. Hoppy's Chinese was open and doing its thing, and I caught myself eyeing a Cali fruit smoothie that looked like it could save a hot afternoon. That said... a noticeable chunk of carts were closed, and it does take a little wind out of the sails when you're scanning options and hitting a few "nope, not today" moments. Now, location? Absolute win. Being right off the station makes this place a no-brainer if you're hopping on or off transit, or just cruising through Main Street. It feels like a built-in pit stop for commuters quick, convenient, and reliable when everything's open. The area itself is clean, with some small trees and a layout that feels intentional, not slapped together. Definitely not some run-down corner--this place is well-kept. But let's talk reality: it's small. And when the heat rolls in, this place turns into a bit of a sweat box. There are covered areas, sure, but not enough to really beat the sun when it's coming down hard. It's the kind of spot where you find yourself thinking, "Alright, I'm gonna grab my food... and retreat to the car like it's a survival mission." All things considered, I'd land this somewhere between a 3 and 4 stars. Cleanliness, location, and overall vibe? Easy 5. But the size, the number of closed carts, and the heat factor hold it back a bit. Still, I'll be back if for no other reason than to finally get my hands on that Good & Evil wrap that's been calling my name.

As one of the more noticeable taquerias in Salem, I'm genuinely surprised there aren't more reviews…read morefor El Padrino. (#1) For years when this taco cart operated along Portland Road (#2) it was low on the radar but known in the community. Fast forward a few years, it's not quite a brick & mortar, but a space for patrons to sit inside to enjoy their food while everything is cooked outside on a cart. The format isn't for everyone (#3), but it's right up my alley. Beyond the colorful murals along the interior and spacious seating, this is still very much a dive. The place is open typically at night and the cloud of grease that permeates the room from all the fatty meats being grilled up. The ventilation is questionable and the seating (fold up chairs and plastic tables) is hardly glamorous. I don't know if I'd have it any other way. For some folks, seeing certain taco meats sitting in a pool of lard / fat / questionable liquid might be an eyesore but once the grilling begins it's a new ballgame. I enjoy almost all the meats, whether it's their famous al pastor sitting on a tromp with a pineapple on top, or their variety of cecina, carnitas, cabeza (cheek, mainly), barbacoa, and asada. There's no guarantee of what they'll have on any given night, so I'm usually good with whatever they have available. The charred grill is also the same place for their tortillas, which are also fried in said lard, and give off this smokiness that might not be everyone's cup of tea. I think their barbacoa, which is chivo (#4) style, is really the best thing they have. The meat is incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It completely encapsulates their namesake in "ricos tacos" as one of their signature items. As always, it is cash only and speaking Spanish is a must. I'm not saying it's the best taqueria in the city, but for late night eats, it's certainly one of ones to beat. __________ (#1) Aka "The Godfather" (#2) Twas another time: https://www.yelp.com/biz/taqueria-el-padrino-salem (#3) Real talk: Most folks in Salem will likely never go to a place like this.

The sauces are good. All around I would say this one contends with any of the best taco joints in Portland. I would personally say it tops Panaderia in St; Johns, the 30th and Powell taco cart (Tres Hermanos) and even the open barbecue/market out on Powell and 122nd or whatever. Melys Taco Cart is great. When you got nothing else to do or a long lunch, it is well worth the trip all the way out to Hillsboro just to try this place.

This random choice turned out to be a good one! This "restaurant" is totally unique because everything is cooked in a tiny little room that is no bigger than 8 by 5 feet, with two or more people working to prepare the food. It is amazing that they are able to turn out relatively inexpensive and tasty Thai food in such a place. The order was also ready really quickly, which was also great! We got the pad see-ew and pad thai, as well as two Thai iced teas. The pad see-ew had huge noodles and tasted just right. There was a lot more there than I was expecting. The pad thai was also really good and had fresh bean sprouts. Everything had the classic Thai food taste. There were also a huge number of other options on the menu which, judging by how tasty the ones we got were, would also be really good. If you are looking for something adventurous and tasty, roll with this Thai cart!

The masa to meat ratio is perfect. The masa isn't too dense, the pork perfectly seasoned. The plates are reasonably priced but I would recommend buying them individually and putting your own green salsa and sour cream at home. There really isn't anywhere to sit and eat, it's just a little shack offering the perfect tamales. Their delicious tamales more than make up for its lack of ambience. Go try them out.

The bread bowls are frozen- the claw chowder I would say was stocked: real red potatoes and lots of clams, the downside was is it wasn't super creamy... it had a strange taste, and I think it's the stock they use. The bread bowls top is made with rosemary and it's actually really good with the butter. Overall it's not something I would order again. We had canned sodas. Service- was alright. The guy who was in the kitchen was off somewhere else so another guy came up and had said he was off duty but the guy would be back soon. I'd say we waited about 10-15 minutes. Ambiance, the shop inside is decent and clean. I'm not sure that I'd recommend this place based on they didn't have half of the items we originally wanted to get.
