My chicken fried steak was solid and easily enough for two meals. Unfortunately, my husband was pretty disappointed with his brisket. It was more like shredded pork, and he felt the flavor was off--he was expecting more of a smoky barbecue taste. Overall, a mixed experience depending on what you order.

I was served the worst so-called "Po-Boy" sandwich I've ever tasted. Mostly a long almost stale roll that was soggy with liquid, and dominated the disproportionately meager contents. And really expensive! The hot mixed greens were over-cooked, rendering them an unpalatable slimy choking hazard of limp bio-mass. His grits were the only semi-palatable item of the several we tried. His food is mediocre and WAY overpriced. Never going back.

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!
