So when I am in Portland and San Diego, it is a must to go to Ben and Esther's There are many delicious sandwich types to choose from. You can do bagels or on a variety of rolls/breads. Hot and cold standards abound, as well as breakfast style sandwiches! You can also get excellent deli sides like potato and mac salad. My partner and I like to share a sandwich and a 1/4 of mac and 1/4 of potato salads. The best combo.

I haven't been able to have deli matzo ball soup in decades so this was a REAL treat. Their creative cream cheese flavors were also great on their fantastic bagels.

OK onto the service and food. Food: awesome! I haven't been to Egypt in 20 years where I experienced the great and original Koshari in Cairo. I remember it being cheap good and greasy. This was not cheap (but it is a good value!!), it was very good, and not as greasy as I remember. But that's probably a good thing! Putting the extra lime vinegar sauce on it really helps and helps me dig into that flavor that I miss- of and the crispy friend onion!!. i've only had Koshari one other time in the United States and it was in NYC, so I really love being able to have this here. I brought a large group and our food took a little while because I didn't understand the ordering or I would've ordered in advance. once our long wait was over ( we had nine people) we devoured the food! Everybody loved it whether they had Koshari or the Mac. I will also note that the impossible Koshari was an especially good deal - only$2 to add a vegan burger to the top of the koshari! they ran out of some of the drinks that we ordered and replaced them with nicer drinks. The folks were excellent, kind, and really took care of us! glad i'm not too far away- i'll be back! also, i'm not a night owl but if you are ... this is your spot!

I tried the Viet Nom Nom Nom sandwich with tofu and a side of potato salad. The sandwich was warm,…read moreflavorful, and delicious! The sauce brought out the smoky flavor of the tofu, which was soft and better than many other tofu products I have tried. The potato salad was crisp and delicious with Granny Smith apples in it. I originally thought that the apples might make it taste taste strange, but they added the perfect tartness and crunch to balance out the creamy softness of the potatoes and mayonnaise. I do think the price for my sandwich was a bit high ($18), but I was happy to pay that to support a small business! Although many of her meals contain meat, you can swap most of them for tofu if you'd like. I would really recommend trying her tofu!! There are a few benches outside in the sun, and there is also a spacious area where customers can eat indoors. Dos Hermanos bakery is located right next to the food trucks, so make sure to pick up a loaf of their bread or some of their yummy treats on the way out! Parking was a little tricky, but you can usually find street parking within a block or two. There is a small parking lot nearby, but it does fill up sometimes.

Hands down, one of the best breakfasts I had in Portland! A bialy is like a bagel except no hole in the middle. I got "The Bird" which is basically a breakfast sandwich. I got the potato and truffle oil bialy and a chive schmear on the side. The Hojicha latte was also very good. I was greeted with a friendly warm welcome and introduced to my first bialy experience. There was plenty of seating inside on a Saturday morning. The orders take a little while but it's to ensure really good taste. SO WORTH COMING & TRYING IF YOU HAVEN'T YET!

There were so many options to choose from, but with a little help from the staff I ended up with the BECC on an apricot & feta bialy. I was a little skeptical of the flavor mixing, but OMG it was perfection! Savory bacon, egg patty, american cheese, aioli, roasted tomato, and housemade chili jam + the sweet apricot & tangy feta bialy -unexpectedly phenomenal. So much flavor on a perfectly soft inside slightly crispy outside bialy. I will say this was probably the messiest breakfast sandwich I've ever had the pleasure of eating, luckily they sent me away with plenty of napkins & a handy moist towelette! 10 out of 10, will definitely be back!

So, I'm from Orlando... and I know a little about Colombian food... you're surrounded by work…read morefriends who all say their wife's/mom's/mother-in-laws empanadas are the best. It was cold this Labor Day, and a bit rainy... and perfect weather for some deep fried pockets of meat... there's a better way to say that: I'm keeping it. I ordered the 4 Empanada Sampler... 2 of the Chicken, one of the shredded beef, and one potato/beef. They were out of Aji sauce, which was a bit of disappointment, as I was looking forward to either Amarillo or Verde sauce for my dipping. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. She gave me a buzzer, and took a seat. About twenty minutes later (I arrived in the middle of a line), the beeper went off, and I received four, fat pockets of golden masa goodness. They weren't labeled, so I grabbed the shredded beef... quite by accident. Had I known how good it would be, I wouldn't have ordered anything else. The beef was seasoned well, unlike a lot of empanadas, where they just take some chuck roast, and shred it up... It was also moist. Absolutely delicious. The meat/potato Columbianita had a lot more potato than meat, but they looked more like yellow finger potato. Not to go too deep on potatoes, but the right amount of hydration/waxy starch... excellent. I ended using the Garlic Aoli for dipping these, and it was nice mix. The chicken, I am saving for later... but if it's anything like the beef, I'll be back regularly. You can order ahead from the website, which I will do in future if in a time crunch. This is a wonderful food cart, and they have the best masa empanadas I've tasted. If I say "empanadas period", then my buddy Luis' wife will be on a cross country flight for a cook off. Arepas are not my thing, but I guarantee they'll be excellent, if the empanadas are any indication. A nice slice of Latin American in PDX.
