The mac and cheese bites were solid. The lovely woman who runs this place was kind enough to slip dessert into our bag, and that was some ridiculously good chocolate cake. Chickpeas on top?? Yowza. Finally, you should follow Krisey's Kitchen on Facebook because she posts the daily menu there and posts updates. That's where I saw she has been not only feeding members of the community at no cost, but she's been organizing a free Thanksgiving dinner for the community. That's doing more for the community than most are doing, and that's the kind of business I want to support.

I kept trying it hoping that I had just gone on an unlucky day but I'll never order it again now. It's watery, skimpy, flavorless, and I'm pretty sure those are the cheapest shrimp that they can find. The jambalaya is pretty much the same, watery and flavorless. I tried a po'boy again and absolutely did not enjoy it. I tried the tacos and thought they were repulsive. Everything is about $3 overpriced too. The only thing I'll ever order from this place again is the Thursday special gumbo or alligator. This saving grace is why I'm still giving two stars. Seriously, I wish there was another Cajun food option in Vancouver.

And to be quite honest, the answer is kinda. No offense. But, is the name justified? And the only answer to that question is a definite YES. Last, the main question you are probably asking yourself is, should I eat there? And the answer to that, Sarah, is yes. You should definitely eat at this food cart. Let me tell you why. Taste of Soul gives you just that, a traditional soul food experience. But, just from the one meal I ordered on a dreary, cloudy Portland day, I had more than a taste of soul. I had a whole flavor reset happen to my palate. My world grew sunnier and brighter with an infinite amount of temporary taste happiness. The sweet tender taste of the catfish coated in a dusting of cornmeal and spices fried to perfection danced on my tongue as the accompanying sauce gave a zesty kick to the already flavor packed fresh fish fillets. The chunky fries were pillowy and perfect, potatoes partitioned to particular flavor packed pieces and promises of pleasant tastes. Also, nicely seasoned - totally worth upgrading the regular catfish order. I did have to wait a bit, but the owners were so nice to give me a free lemonade for my wait and they were generally very kind. You could tell they loved being there and cooking up some delicious food for everyone. How often do you hear Portland and soul in a single sentence? Come try this place out!

However, now that I've been a few times, I notice little details like "why do the hostesses continue to seat people right next to each other?". There are plenty of other open tables that people could be seated at, but it really eliminated our ability to have a connecting conversation, as it felt like we were a party of 6 with us 2 in the middle!!! And 2 of the people clearly had some personal "issues" going on and were very disruptive. The space is small, but the visual displays of all the artwork make it a talking point conversation. The main artist was on hand & we found ourselves with the opportunity to talk with him while we waited on our food (which took a lot longer than expected). Funny, we ordered 1st & ours came out 10 mins later after everyone else. I decided to go with the Chicken and Waffles, and we also had the shrimp and grits. The food hit on all cylinders, and the only thing that was needed next was to make a move for a cocktail and a little walking in downtown to change it up. Will definitely return, but I will be more direct and vocal about seating that's for sure.

Even with a plastic fork and knife, it was super tender and moist. Grilled perfectly and tasted so darn delicious! They gave me a side of Teriyaki, which I barely used on my rice, since the Chicken was flavorful enough! The Mac Salad was very good as well! If it seems a little on the speedy side, it cost me almost $17 with tax, they justify by giving a big portion of Chicken and rice. It's enough to split among two people. Next time I make a trip out there, I would like to try their Garlic Chicken or their Poke dish. I wanted to try their dessert, but I didn't see a Chocolate dessert listed on the menu.

The style I was trying to recreate was inspired by La Taqueria in San Francisco, a hugely popular and nationally recognized taqueria that has received major acclaim, including a James Beard Foundation America's Classics Award. They're especially famous for their distinctive burrito style: absolutely no rice, it takes away from the meat, just a simple flavorful filling, and the option to have the finished burrito made "Dorado style," where it's pressed on the flat-top until the tortilla gets golden, toasted, and crispy. That's the texture and flavor I was hoping for -- carne asada, refried beans, cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, and that crispy grilled outside. Yours came really close to what I had in mind, and it tasted amazing. I really appreciate the care you put into making it, and I hope you can make it this same way again next time. Thank you!

It's not authentic by any means. I feel like they just cater to the demographic. I was in BG area and actually had cash on me so I pulled over to give them a try. This is the first spot that I've found to even be on the radar with back home quality. 1) they lightly toasted the the tortilla. 2) the meat was cut on the bias, thin, tender and full of flavor!! If they let it crisp up just a little more it would be next level. 3) they used real avocado slices not that nasty premade spread that has vinegar to preserve the color. Overall my burrito was delicious and it was filled great, equal beans/rice/meat ratio. Ps i ordered it without lettuce. I will absolutely be coming back to try tacos and other items. Review for salsas: I tried one of each (habanero, red and green). My favorite was the verde. It's the most flavorful. I usually like hot, hot, but won't compromise flavor. I would stick to the verde no matter what I order. I like that there's grassy patches. While I was waiting I was able to let my dog stretch her legs until the buzzer went off. The lady in the food truck was helpful and told me they have habanero as an option.

They have a nice canvas sail overhead to give some shade for seating. The inside is super small. Not what I was expecting. It was similar to Salt & Straw on the Vancouver Waterfront. It's definitely a grab and go type of establishment. I didn't see any baked goods displayed at all. Maybe they've done away with those options?! They had a nice variety of ice-cream flavors to choose from, including non-dairy selections. They also had floats. I decided on the single scoop Mint Cookies & Cream. It was absolutely delicious, and fresh! No freezer burn whatsoever, and plenty of cookies throughout. The mint flavor wasn't too overpowering either. It was the perfect after lunch treat! Staff was okay. Not super friendly at all. She didn't say much when I walked in either. I was the only one in there. It looked like you could sample some of their flavors too, but I wasn't sure if the extra interaction was welcomed. Definitely a different customer service vibe than Salt & Straw; their employees are so friendly and personable. Overall an okay experience. The ice-cream was delicious, but customer service lacking.

I read that an Indian supermarket opened near the Vancouver Mall recently and offered home made food in its premises. The kids and I decided to try them out two days ago. The inside is small but clean. The front portion has about 10 tables for dining. It reminded me of any mom and pop Asian grocery/bodega store. The menu has the usual offering. We ordered the Royal lamb curry, goat kosha, the butter chicken thali, an eggplant side dish and their garlic naan. We were helped by a very friendly server/waiter/cashier. The food itself was AMAZING! The lamb and goat were tender, the sauces on all the dishes ordered were on point. The naan was warm, buttery, garlicky goodness. The kids loved the mango lassi drink. On our way out, I picked up some items from the grocery store and some samosas to go. The crust on the samosa was so good, the fillings delicious. I highly recommend this place. Since it's located in a mini mall, there's plenty of parking. Did I mention there's an eye brow threading in the same location? I believe it's also owned by the same people. No worries, it is contained in a separate area away from the food.
