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.

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.

Just tried panuchos for the first time and was blown away. They're like super tacos with the tortilla stuffed with refried black beans. Tried their birria, asada and cochinitas. Each was fantastic in its own way. The family that runs this shop is super sweet to boot. They're a lovely addition to the neighborhood and I'm psyched that we have such an authentic option with walking distance. Had previously tried their nachos and breakfast burritos which are solid as well. Highly recommend trying their dark green salsa. It's on the spicy side, but the flavor is unlike any other salsa I've ever had. The ambiance is decent as well. There's a covered little patio area with a few tables and a bar top. Nothing too fancy, but as cozy as you'd hope for. read more

Wow. This is easily some of the best Mexican food in Portland. And they have so many good looking options. We're vegetarian and had a tofu burrito with peppers and a chile relleno burrito with rice and beans and a super saucy nopales and cheese gordita. The combination of all the flavors is amazing. Delish salsa too. Everything is homemade by a super nice family and they clearly love what they're doing. Plus the prices are great. Our new favorite cart for sure! read more

Salbutes (4/5): Very fresh and good. The toppings were crisp and the tortilla held up well. A solid choice if you want something lighter than a burrito. Quesadillas (4/5): Good, and the kids loved them. They were simple but made with quality ingredients, and the cheese was nicely melted. Great for a quick bite or for picky eaters. Service: Not Rated Very friendly. The person taking our order was welcoming and patient with questions. Ambiance: Not Rated This is a food cart, so keep your expectations casual.
