Hidden gem! I saw people rushing in here, I followed them. I was not disappointed. I absolutely loved these tacos. The queso was also cream, flavorful and filling. read more

Excellent bbq, and the hot sauce keeps me coming back. I buy some to take home with me as I live out of town! It's a very popular place but the seating area for the pods is very comfortable. Friendly service too. read more

Matt's BBQ tacos are simply the best of two worlds....BBQ and Tacos!!! Perfectly smoked brisket, pork belly are my two favorites but the hand made tortillas pickled onions take it over the top!! Highly recommended but don't think street tacos, more elevated Tex Mex tacos but absolutely delicious!! read more

Holy moly. What a spot. Friends gassed it up, well the other location within a brewery, but they lost power. So, we landed at the truck location. Order on the POS, then you'll get a text when it's ready. While you're waiting, grab a beer on the inside, I got the bull run cider. For food - Chips and queso (bomb) - Chopped brisket taco - Beef taco supremo It's so good. Literally so good. Slapped sitting out in the heat and with a cider. Perfection. Matt's the man. read more

Highly recommend the Migas taco if you're looking for a taco that's absolutely loaded with toppings and flavor. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the tortilla itself is so delicious and soft. I didn't get to try the other tacos in the picture, but everyone loved them. They're located in a food truck park that has plenty of shaded seating. You order up at the front on an iPad and receive a number that is called when the food is ready. Our food was prepared quickly. They had a variety of salsas - none were really that spicy but still quite tasty! Looking forward to coming back. read more

Love that they have a few vegetarian/vegan options, so I went for the beyond beef vegan taco. It looks simple but very filling. They seasoned the protein well and the corn tortilla was very authentic. Even their basic breakfast taco was top notch as well. They serve those all day Their bean dip was also very delicious. In addition, I got an order of chips and salsa. The tortilla chips were the crunchiest and some of the best I've had and their pico salsa went well. At almost $7 per taco and for the chips/salsa it is on the pricey side, but still worth a visit read more

Matt's BBQ Tacos - Beyond beef vegan taco - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This food cart pod is called the Hinterland Cart Pod, or more formally named the Hinterland Bar & Food Carts. It had a nice big seating area, all open and pretty clean. Matt's BBQ Tacos is located toward the back of the food cart pod, very Texan looking, as they serve Texas-style BBQ. You order from the touch screen by the serving window, or you can order from their website. The wait time is shown above it, and as it is a popular spot, the wait time can go up significantly in a matter of minutes. You get a text when your order is ready, which is convenient. We got three different kinds of tacos to start. Chopped Beef Taco Supreme, Chopped Brisket Breakfast Taco, and Brisket Taco. The tacos were all very tasty, with tender, juicy meat. It was packed with flavor, with a nice note of smokey flavor. The tacos are not big, and after sharing the three tacos between the two of us, we decided to get two more tacos since my hubby was still a bit hungry for more. We went with more breakfast tacos, Sausage Patty and Hashbrown Taco, and Pulled Pork Breakfast Taco. We enjoyed all the breakfast ones. I especially loved the hashbrown one, it was so good! Everything we had from Matt's BBQ Tacos were pretty good, although our second order of two tacos took forever as the wait time was nearly one hour. That tells you they are super popular! read more

The hype around this place is extensive. I was left no choice but to stuff 3 of these tacos in my mouth and judge myself. First off the concept is pretty novel. Really pushing our concept of what tacos are to the limits. Why not do a bbq and taco fusion? Why not do it at every bbq place? I haven't looked up any information on Matt but my guess is he's from Texas. Why should breakfast tacos be most popular in the southern states? This is a non political take on Tacos. All in all these tacos were really high level. There was a lot of talk of this being a top 5 food cart in the city. It didn't seem that way to me. But it's a pretty substantial and must be regarded at a high level. (4.6 Stars) read more

I can't believe I hadn't ever had BBQ meats in a taco before now--genius!! Matt's does it well with their homemade tortillas and well-seasoned sauces / guac / toppings. The G.O.A.T. was, in fact, the GOAT--so good. I also really liked the pork belly taco and felt it was pretty unique. The cheeseburger taco was also fun and well-crafted but I think benefited from adding their BBQ sauce. They allow for online ordering or there is a kiosk screen at the food cart and you get a text when your tacos are ready. There's a good amount of seating and even indoor, air conditioned seating options as well. This place is definitely worthy of it's reputation and worth a try! I will be back for the breakfast tacos! read more

I came here on a date, and the tacos were on point. I am gluten and dairy-free, so I did my research and appreciate the dietary information online. I got the pork belly and GOAT tacos made with corn tortillas. The BBQ was solid for PNW. This is coming from me living in TX for 9 years before moving to Portland. You can order from the food truck or online for pickup. Our food came out pretty fast but I could see at peak times it could take longer. Just keep that in mind. Also, note that there are other food trucks and a fully stocked bar. read more

This place always delivers. Super tasty, and the queso is also a must The breakfast tacos are a sleeper hit, and the house sausage is to die for. The cart pod has plenty of inside heated seating right beside the cart, and it's cozy. read more

Unassuming food truck that is apparently a local favorite. My son and I have a couple of tacos each, brisket, smoked mushroom fajita, pork belly, pulled pork. Excellent food, which is usually the case for long standing food trucks. There are two others, likely just as good. Check it out if you're nearby and looking for a something a little different from a Latin taco. read more

Buried in the back of the Hinterland Cart Pod, I found Matt's BBQ Tacos to be a bit overly hyped and a bit pricey at $5+ per single taco. That said, they were definitely tasty. They're also not the very best I've had in Portland (that remains a taco of the day at Cartopia). I did love Matt's green sauce though, that stuff was exceptional! I'd love to see better prices/value, stronger flavors and more bold ideas happening here especially given the fusion of very big flavor cuisines. read more

3/27/2026 Time 1058am Bartender said they open in 3 mins and I ask if I can take a menu and sit. 11:00am Bartender(lady) was still talking to staff 11:15am I'm still sitting there and Bartender still bullshitting with staff. So I left. So SERVICE here sucks and I guess they don't want business. I was told the food is good but never got to try it and suggest don't come here when they first open the doors. You won't get any service. So the Bartender SUCKS! read more

A friend recommended this food truck to my husband and I and we were blown away by these tacos! I was expecting much smaller, street style tacos but that was not the case. The tacos came out quickly, were hot and filled to the brim with ingredients, making them messy but OH SO FUN. The menu has a lot of unique options such as the hash brown taco (a fan favorite of our table for sure), chopped brisket taco, and lots of breakfast style taco selections. I subbed out for corn tortillas and they were excellent and definitely seemed handmade. This food truck is connected to a bar/seating space called Hinterland, which you can order drinks from. It was nice to have an indoor heated space to enjoy our tacos and order a drink on such a chilly day. We will be coming back next time we visit Portland for sure! read more

My husband and I were lucky enough to stumble upon this gem at a food truck location on North Mississippi. Being foodies visiting from SF, we were amazed at the food! We both got the pulled pork sandwiches. It was so good that we still talk about it. Great ambiance, too! Definitely a must try! read more

This food truck situation really gets creative w tacos- which I'm a big fan of. Top notch bbq meats and a slew of other options depending on what you're in to. I'm a huge fan of brisket so they had me at hello. Wifey and I were brought here while visiting friends and had a great overall time. Service was quick, easy and staff was helpful and fun to talk to. Plenty of seats inside or out. Highly recommend. read more

Matt's BBQ Tacos - Front. Of. Store. - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've had Matt's BBQ Tacos a couple times and I really like it. Located inside Hinterland, this charming little food truck packs a punch. Ordering online is super easy. You can do pick-up or dine-in; I've done both and have never had an issue. It does get pretty packed here so if you want some tacos, I highly recommend doing an online order, or plan your visit accordingly. Food Recs: * Pulled Pork Tacos: The pork is tender with nice flavor that pairs perfectly with the guac and pickled onions. The homemade flour tortilla pulls everything together for a really great tasting taco. * The Green Salsa: I don't know exactly what this sauce is made of but it's really delicious! It's a very mild salsa and I drown my Pulled Pork Tacos in it. * Hashbrown: Can't go wrong with a golden, crispy potato patty. * Chips & Queso: This is a great shareable. The queso is nicely flavored and the chips are thick so there is never any breakage. * My wife and friends really like the Chopped Brisket Taco, the Hot Mess Taco, the Sliced Pork Belly Taco, and the Beef Taco Supremo. I haven't had these personally, but I trust their judgement when it comes to food so figured I'd add it as part of my recommendations. Matt's BBQ Tacos doesn't serve Coca-Cola products. However, the Hinterland Bar does so it still gets a pass! As I mentioned before, I've been here a couple times already and I'll definitely come back again especially because there are other menu items that I'd love to try. read more

Definitely a reasonable sized taco for the cost. The corn tortilla was good, but the smokiness of the smoked vegan taco was too strong for me. Waffles fries were good. They have a good collection of sauces too. It's nice that it's closed inside great notion, so there is plenty of seating both inside and outside where you can get beers too. read more

These are definitely the best BBQ tacos in Portland. Are they the only BBQ tacos? Sure, maybe. But that doesn't make them not the best as well. And I suppose the worst if you're being pedantic. Are they muy autentico? I don't know. Compared to what? Listen. Here's my point. These tacos-- notably the brisket and pork belly-- are the only thing that will do sometimes. The tortillas are pillowy little wrappers of soft goodness around warm, salty, smokey meat products, potentially with guac and pickled onions on them. I must know the secret of the tortillas. My money's on lard. They wouldn't tell me. If you can get past the Portland people waiting six feet apart, not figuring out what they want before they get to the front of the line, and then having NO idea how to operate the ordering screen, you will get yourself some very delicious treats. Eventually. It might be a minute. read more

I didn't think this place was going to live up to the hype... but it certainly did! Something about their combination of fresh ingredients, flavors, and textures in each bite makes these BBQ tacos insanely addictive. You order from a food truck outside and eat in an indoor/outdoor space with space heaters. I came here in the dead of winter and it was a little cold in some of the seating areas, but I forgot all about that as soon as I started eating. I usually snap a few pictures of the food but these guys were gone in just a few minutes. They're also very filling since they're very meat-forward tacos, as the name implies. I would say 2-3 tacos should be more than enough. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience here and will definitely be back for more. read more

So fast and so good. The GOAT taco is by far the best, even though all the tacos are great. The meat is always so tender and flavorful. They also serve breakfast tacos all day now which is fantastic even though I prefer their non-breakfast taco options. The self serve kiosks are easy to use and make ordering a breeze. read more

Their tacos are worth the wait. I usually get the GOAT taco when available and it is truly an amazing combo in a taco: pulled pork and brisket with flour and corn tortilla. Genius. Their migas taco is truly so good and you will automatically regret not ordering two of them after the first bite. Love bringing friends in town to show off this place. read more

Matt's BBQ Tacos - Migas and GOAT. - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I had wondered about this place for a while and was excited to try it. I got the migas and smoked turkey tacos (both sans cheese). The migas taco was really sumptuous and had solid flavors. The smoked turkey although good just threw my tastebuds off since it gave me lots of Big Mac vibes with the burger toppings and mustard/mayo sauce. I would say both needed salsas which I think is actually a good thing since they were seasoned appropriately for salsafying. They were kind of pricey but also quite large. I felt the breakfast tacos would probably be a better deal in the future. read more

An unsuspecting food truck with mighty flavors! It's located in a place called Hinterland Bar & Carts. The truck is at the end of the row, near their version of indoor/outdoor seating. During the winter it's basically covered outdoor seating with heat lamps. The dining area can be pretty chilly depending on when you go (especially at night) but it's nice that they have a fair amount of seating, self-serve water, and a modest shelter from the wind and rain. I ordered the chopped brisket breakfast tacos which consist of brisket, potato, cheddar, and eggs. The brisket was the epitome of juicy. The tortilla and eggs were soft and warm. The cheese on top brought all the breakfast flavors together. It's safe to say my tastebuds were happy! The size of the tacos are surprisingly deceiving as they leave you feeling very full (in a good way). There is a good amount of street parking since it's near a residential area. The server who handed me my food was kind. The ordering process was easy peasy as you order via a tablet located at the front of the truck and they text you when your order is ready. Matt's BBQ Tacos set my expectations high for food trucks and I'm looking forward to trying out other combinations. read more

It really is the greatest of all time. We will be back! read more

These are not your standard tacos. So don't go there expecting your typical street taco. BUT you can certainly go there expecting bursting flavor in each bite, tasty salsas and delicious homemade tortillas. The first time I went I got corn tortillas--they were fresh but too thick for my liking. Today, my daughters and I ordered our tacos the regular way (flour tortillas)--I had brisket. We had chips and queso as well. The queso was some of the best queso I've had in a long while; I taste a hint of chili powder in it. Service is service. No frills but everyone is polite and hospitable. It's pretty much self-serve: you order on a kiosk, you grab a number, they deliver the food to your table and don't worry you bus your own dishes too. But again, it's a chill place. read more

One of my favorite stops in Portland! We came here for some breakfast tacos since they were open bright and early at 8 AM on a Saturday. The tacos were SO good and definitely left us wanting more. We got 4 different tacos to try a variety - my favorites were the pork belly breakfast taco and migas taco! Both were $5.75. The pork belly was super juicy and flavorful! I'm not usually a fan of beans with tacos, but surprisingly these tasted pretty good too. With the migas taco, the eggs were perfectly scrambled and seasoned - the lump of cheese on all of the tacos made them absolutely addicting too. There's loads of seating available, since we came early we were able to snag a parking spot right in front of the Hinterland Food Pods. They're popular for their original spot, Matt's BBQ! The lunchtime / all day tacos sounded super good too. The tortillas definitely tasted handmade and I loved how soft they were. A must try! read more

Located inside Great Notion Brewing - Alberta, Matt's BBQ Tacos was a necessary and delicious part of our brewery visit. After a bunch of strong beers, we were all craving a little food and each ordered tacos. The window is right inside the brewery, menu was clearly posted. We ordered at the window and it was brought to our table. I got a plate of three different tacos - each was uniquely flavored with different meats. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion size - each sauce is super flavorful I'm sure would pair well with different beers. I can see why this place has a great reputation - if you find yourself looking for a great brewery but need great food too, this is a wonderful option. read more

This place was really freaking good. It is inside of Great Notion Brewing which makes it PERFECT for pairing with a beer. I loved the queso dip and the goat taco. The chips served with the queso dip are a bit cracker type. They aren't like cantina/mexican/restaurant style chips, but, the dip is pretty hefty so these chips serve its purpose. It was so damn delicious with the mix of chorizo, guacamole and salsa. I also loved the goat taco. The tortillas taste homemade. Loved this brewery/taco combo. read more
