Homemade tortillas. Do I really need to say more? Well no, but I will. I was at work a few weeks ago speaking with a co-worker who happens to be Mexican and we were talking food. I brought up one of my favorite Mexican taco trucks and she told me about El Mas Chingon and their homemade tortillas. Hidden over on Canyon Lane, diagonally across the street from the Canyon Grill ( a really good place for ice cream shakes) is a bright green food truck serving some really good Mexican food. It's in the same parking lot as the West Slope liquor store and there happens to be a smaller coffee cart right next to it. $4 for a taco, $13 for burrito and $18 for the Mas Chingon torta which seems to have everything but the kitchen sink on it. They have the usual meat choices plus lengua, cabeza and fish options. My buddy got an asada burrito and the thing was gigantic. He's not exactly a small individual and he could not finish it. I wanted to try a few different meats and so I got tacos. Each taco came on a different type of tortilla. That was impressive in itself. All the tacos came with onions and radish and wedges of lime. They don't offer a taco plate with rice and beans and so I had to get those on the side and it was just regular black beans not refried beans. It didn't really matter it was all good. Their habanero salsa was slightly thicker than other salsas that I've had at food trucks in the area and it was really good. All three meets that I got, asada, lengua and pastor with pineapple on top were really, really good. The food came out pretty quickly and there were 3 tables under a tent for us to sit at right there. Everything was great and I can't wait to try more of it. Definitely make a trip out here and try this taco truck. Enjoy and support local PDX.

Carnitas Pambazo

Everything was delicious! We had an al pastor taco, lengua taco, a carnitas pambazo, and a carne asada bowl. And the staff was friendly!

Beaverton's hidden gem for taco's - El Más Chingón! After moving from Southern California, I've been dying to find a taco spot that me and my fiance would absolutely love. Based on the rave reviews on Yelp, my fiance knew we had to give it a try. The menu included - al pastor, carnitas, lengua, cabeza, you name it. I always go for lengua. But there was also a day they ran out, so I tried their cabeza. SO GOOD. The tortillas were perfectly warm and soft and the salsa was perfect. Their tacos are about ~$4 a pop. So, if you're ever in the Beaverton area, do yourself a favor and skip the chain restaurants. Head to El Más Chingón for some seriously delicious and authentic Mexican food.

Our favorite neighborhood food truck, serving food that's better than most bricks and mortar Mexican restaurants, at a much lower price point. The enchiladas are ok: kind of "deconstructed", sparsely filled with cotija cheese, lettuce and more cotija on top and the potatoes and meat of your choice on the side. The tacos are good, with plenty of filling, but the best by far are their burritos. These babies are over 1-1/2 pounds (I weighed one when I got home with it), and big enough to feed two people, unless one person is absolutely famished. The chicken can be slightly on the dry side, but salsa helps with that. The carnitas and asada are both excellent. Updated menus are posted, as their prices have gone up a bit, but those burritos are still a great bargain.

Carne Asada Pambazo
Holly T.

We discovered this place while waiting for Canyon Grill one night. I had a hankering for a torta, and this place has pambazos. I love pambazos! The place I used to get them from charges something ridiculous like $21 for it now. There's no way. So we decided to try here. I ordered it with carne asada. It was very large, and I couldn't finish it. But pretty tasty. My husband ordered a chicken burrito. That thing was as long as his arm!! Huge! He wasn't able to finish it either, and he always eats everything! Lol My son ordered three carne asada tacos. He loved them! Overall, pretty good and great prices. Very nice to.

Veggie burrito with mushrooms. The size of a newborn baby!

Tacos and tortillas are solid, but the price is higher than one would expect for the skimpy fillings.

Friendly owners. Sizzling fresh food. Price was decent for a food cart serving seafood. I got the…read morelarge serving for $16 and that was a good choice. I came after a review I read on Eater for FoPo area eats. I'm not a huge fried food fan but this place was good. I got the Steelhead trout fish and chips. Wait was ok they give you a buzzer so you can stroll around the food court. Took about 10 mins not bad. The locally sourced steelhead was a delicious surprise. Tender, juicy fish with crispy breading. Good seasoning. Fries were thicker so not as crispy but still hearty. 3 medium sized pieces of fish. They included ketchup for the fries as well as malt vinegar and tartar sauce for authentic fish dip. Wedge of lemon, too! All in a earth-friendly cardboard box. They take credit just fine. Very convenient location at Carts on Foster just down the street from where I was staying. So I walked back and enjoyed there. If you're staying you could probably cruise over to any local breweries or the bar cart for a beer to complement the fried food. Good time!!!

One day I didn't budget my time properly so I was looking for lunch that wasn't fast food that I…read morecould eat in the car. Fish and chips to the rescue. I got the cod. It had a panko crust which sometimes I prefer to batter. They were a little bit salty for my taste but ever since I got COVID lots of things have tasted salty so take that with a grain of salt I'm not a tartar sauce guy but this is some great sauce. I feel like later I got a piece of tarragon(?) out of my teeth and reminded me of the herby yummy sauce. I scoffed at first at the chips. Very non uniformly cut but surprisingly all well cooked. I don't know if it's they type of potato but the skin was really off putting. But solid toothsome chips that a splash of vinegar helps a lot. If I end up in a similar position again I'll definitely consider coming back.

The food truck is located inside a food truck plaza with plenty of options nearby and ample outdoor seating with picnic tables. This particular food truck had a long line, which made the wait to order a bit lengthy. However, it was well worth it. The woman taking orders was incredibly kind and bubbly, which added to the overall experience. After ordering, the food took about 20 minutes to come out, but I did not mind since the sandwiches ended up being really good. The sandwiches were flavorful and very filling. Honestly, I probably could have been satisfied with just one sandwich. Overall, I thought this spot was worth the wait. I would definitely come back if I were in Portland again.

This food truck…read moreis located in a food cart area with a ton of carts around so there's ample seating and a variety of options if you're coming with a group. The line ended up being pretty long around 3pm on a Saturday (they close at 3:30pm) and between ordering and getting our food, we waited about 30 min. I did really like the sando though. The scotch egg was nicely fried and crispy on the outside with a soft gyoza stuffing filling. My only wish is that it was a bit easier to eat and that it had more seasoning as the gyoza filling was a bit bland and the egg smaller than I thought it was be. But overall pretty tasty and definitely worth trying. I'll have to come back and try their OG Tokyo Nando sandwich.
