Brazilian is a distinct cuisine that is sadly underrepresented in Portland -- the only other Brazilian places I know of are a fancy steakhouse downtown and a chain coffeeshop in Beaverton. Nothing against those two, but this place is where to go for a scrumptious, filling, reasonably prices and authentic Brazilian meal, served by a charming chef who is fluent in English, Spanish and her native Portuguese. This is deep soul food, with some ingredients that look familiar -- black beans, collard greens -- yet taste different from the more common US preparations. Try the feijoada or the veggie plate or, for something very different, the moqueca. The flavors are all interesting but quite mild, although there is hot sauce available on request. It's part of a pod with other interesting-looking carts, including other South American cuisines, and a terrific beverage cart. read more

I wish there was more Brazilian food in Portland, besides Fogo de chao I've only seen one other place and they closed down unfortunately. In my limited experience w/ Brazilian food, the flavors seem mild and comforting, not too spicy, a lot of beans/rice, meat & plantains. We tried the Tropiero which was like a breakfast bean&rice scramble w/ eggs & sausage and Coxhinha which were like arancini stuffed w/ shredded chicken, almost like samosas but with different breading. Both were delicious. The cart is located in a pod off Belmont, and they have a little tent w/ inside seating and heaters. read more

Stop #5a on "The One Day Adventure in Portland" Is there some chemical released when greens (kale, collards, etc) are cooked that makes them go from "meh" to "YAYAY"? This delicious food is at a food truck surrounded by about 5 to 7 other food trucks and one drink truck (see #5b - Hindsight). Which makes it a perfect spot when everyone can't decide on what they want to eat! Stepped up to the window, ordered. He handed me a beeper and I barely had time to grab a drink and find a seat. This food was ready quick! How do they get the rice to this perfect consistency, soft without being mushy or sticky? I need to know the secret. The greens were sliced in long pieces and cooked just a touch. This made them warm and flavorful while still having just a touch of crunch. Okay, going to get real for a second. I wasn't prepared for the tropeiro. It reminded me of an egg scramble meshed with refried beans. It didn't look great, but it tasted amazing! I found myself wishing I had some tortillas to scoop it into and some hot sauce to add to it. Service was friendly and all business. When I stepped up, he was clearly busy cleaning things. The meal came in one of those black meal-prep type containers. You know the ones! Black bottom, clear lid that never quite snaps into place to your liking. Which is convenient whether you want to eat in or take it to go. read more

Brazilian House is one of my favorite food trucks now! The moqueca was to die for. No one in our party was able to describe the flavor profile as it was unique from anything we had, instead it was "it's amazing! You have to try it." It's a coconut base, and makes you think a Thai curry, but it's not, it's simply beautiful. The pastels, yucca, and plantains were Perfect! We've all had yucca, and plantains. All of us, in our party, had less than exciting experiences in the past with these foods! This experience though, changed all of our feelings about these humble, yes delicious foods. In addition we had our 2 year old, and 10 year old who loved ALL of it. When all of the kids, and adults love ALL if the food purchased you definitely have a W! read more

4.25 stars. This highly addictive food truck specializes in Brazilian cuisine and that doesn't mean fancy waiters carrying around all sorts of pork and steak cuts. Rather, you'll likely receive a hearty stew, rice and beans, or empanadas (there is a Brazilian steak option as well). I tried two items: 1) a chicken and okra combination served with pinto beans, rice, parsley and tomatoes and 2) a black bean and rice dish studded with flavorful meat (beef, sausage, bacon) and topped with collard green. Both were delightful with a nice balance of flavors. Some might note that these dishes are mostly rice and beans - and they would be right - but those bases for these dishes are well prepared. In a city chock full of incredible food, Brazilian House stands out as a budget friendly option that captures the imagination. read more

Brazilian House is now on the list of carts I will frequently visit. Today, it was the first item listed on the menu(which is usually the best): the Moqueca with cod. So good! This dish complements their excellent rice so well so don't scoop too much of the latter or you'll run out. Also, the hours listed on Yelp might be dated, I showed up twice and they were closed. ------- Seems I'm late to the game regarding this authentic gem. First, the lady (owner?) is so very nice. I satisfied my protein and veggie craving with their Brazilian steak: for $10.35 it's one the better food cart deals. The steak quality is probably on the lower end, but the flavorable spice makes up for it. The rice is not an afterthought like at most carts, here it's buttery, flaky, with a hint of garlic. The quinoa (I substitute it for the black beans) was excellent, as were the greens. What would take it up a notch is some sort of interesting sauce, e.g., a Chimichurri-based one. A solid and filling meal. I look forward to attacking their menu. read more

Finally, my first Brazilian food cart! I remember a Brazilian cart at the old D-Street Noshery pod (probably two years ago) that abruptly closed before I had a chance to try the food. One of the menu items from that cart was also on this menu, and the curious panda just had to try it. Feijoada ($8) is deemed Brazil's national dish: a bean and beef stew containing black beans, bacon, beef, sausage, green onions, and garlic. It was served with rice and collard greens. I admit I didn't have to read any further once I saw bacon (but I kept on reading anyway). All the meats brought awesome flavor to this dish. Moqueca ($8) is a Brazilian fish stew that contains coconut milk. There are options to get it with chicken or shrimp instead. It's served with rice and tomatoes. Tropeiro ($8) is another traditional dish featuring pinto beans, bacon, beef, sausage, green onions, eggs, garlic, and yucca flour. It's a solid recommendation. NOTE: Brazilian House operates out of the old Rockabillies food cart. read more

Delicious. At $8 for such a large amount of food, it's a bargain. Owner was extremely friendly and we had a good time talking about the insane bureaucracy in Brazil. I had the Maqueca and it was definitely how she described it, the palm oil is what makes that distinct flavor. I definitely will try the feijoada next time. I went back to tell her how it good it was, but a large group of Brazilians had descended on her cart, craving for the food of her homeland. I'm guess that's a good sign that the food is legit. read more

The Brazilian dishes here are a unique stand-out from the usual food cart fare. The food is very filling, fresh, and yummy. The tropeiro is my favorite so far, lots of protein with some greens to balance it out. The moqueca reminded me of a Thai coconut milk curry. It was good but heavy on the onions. I also liked the empanadas and guava soda. The owner was nice and there is plenty of seating and a nice atmosphere in the pod where the cart is situated. read more

Holy camoly Batman! We all ordered the Moqueca; 2 with shrimp, one with chicken and we all gobbled up our meal and practically licked the black plastic containers clean! What is Moqueca, you ask? It's a heavenly stew made with red pepper, green pepper, onions, tomato, palm oil and coconut milk; served with rice and meat. The sauce is yellow and looks like curry but the taste is far more Thai than middle eastern. The food cart itself is very nondescript, and I was a tiny bit weary at first, but the line that formed behind us after ordering reassured us that this was a hidden gem. The great reviews online also told us we were going to enjoy our meals. Now we have to return to try the Feijoada, a black bean, bacon, beef and sausage stew served with rice and covered with thinly sliced collard greens. We used a restaurant.com coupon and saved about $8 on our 3 meals. That got us there but the delicious food is what will get us to go back. read more

Matt's is no joke and is my go-to BBQ joint in the Portland area. I always judge a place by their brisket and Matt's is some of the best I've ever had.

Bonus about this location is the ability to sit outside and eat as well as Prost! being in the same location providing for some great german brew!

They're a more unique flavor profile than the regular orange & green sauces. These ones are really really extra good. Burrito was expensive though $15.50 before tip like damnnnn but to tell you the truth I'd do it again. Big ass plump shrimps

It's tough to be a Brazilian here in Portland. The weather is gray and there is only one Brazilian restaurant. This food cart comes to the rescue by offering fresh Brazilian comfort food that is delicious and authentic - it tastes like homecooking, and can be enjoyed in the Winter months to come! I cannot express in words, the joy I experienced with each bite. The Muqueca has the perfect blend of coconut oil and seasonings which combined with the rice melts in the mouth. You can have it with fish, shrimp, or chicken - I went with the fish + shrimp combo for a little extra. The Feijoada is the perfect Brazilian comfort food, a bean stew with sausage and beef, so rich and delicious! The collard greens on the side complete the true Feijoada look! I haven't had the chance to try the Arroz Tropeiro yet, but I imagine it tastes just as delicious as everything else. When you stop by, don't forget to try a portion of the Coxinhas and the Pudim for dessert. These were some of the best I have ever had! This cart really does justice to Brazilian food - everything is prepared fresh, with good ingredients, and dash of love. read more

Authentic Brazilian Flavor on Wheels! If you're craving authentic Brazilian food, this food truck is a must-visit! We had the feijoada, and it was absolutely delicious--rich, hearty, and full of flavor. The black beans were perfectly cooked, the meats were tender, and the seasoning was spot on. It came with the collard greens and we ordered a side of Petisco (fried yucca & plantain). The service was friendly and fast, and you can tell they put love into their cooking. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. Whether you're familiar with Brazilian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this food truck is a fantastic find. We'll definitely be back for more! Highly recommend! read more

The woman who took my order was really nice, but I don't think she should have been taking orders. Even with me being bilingual and her daughter helping translate, she had a hard time understanding what I wanted, even though I was reading it directly from their menu. The wait time was short. Everything was fresh. The pupusa dough, the veggies, the toppings-- I loved everything except the chicken, which tasted like it had been boiled or canned at some point. But that's my fault for ordering chicken from a Latino food cart, knowing they sometimes take these chicken shortcuts. The salsa and queso fresco were both bomb. 5 stars on both of those. The portion size was a decent value for the price. It was too much food for me to eat in just one sitting. If I came back again, I would order literally any meat other than chicken. I might even ask how it's cooked first, just to be sure. Overall I thought it was pretty good, and I would definitely come back again. (I just wouldn't get the chicken.)

Real paper bags, sturdy, environmentally-friendly containers, and look at that cute sample spoon. Really shows that while its about the food, sharing with the community is also about hospitality and the little extra care. Thank you so much, Chef!

My main critique is they are small and expensive. You can get 3 for 15.50 which I already thought was expensive but the next week I went back & it was 18.50 for 3, but you have to pay $2 extra for the chimichurri dipping sauce which is a kinda lame. I am a lighter eater but 3 barely fills me up so wouldn't be a sufficient meal for many. You can buy them frozen to bring home and cook tho for a bit cheaper.

This review comes second-hand, as it was my wife who ordered from this cute little cart, but after…read moreshe got over how small her single empanada order was, and ordered a second to make a full meal out of it, she was a pretty happy camper. For the price (~$5/each), you get a piping-hot little pocket (NOT a Hot Pocket) of whatever goodies you want from the available choices: she ended up with a chorizo and potato, and a mushroom and goat cheese, the latter of the two being her favorite (I could have guessed: goat cheese anything is always a win). It's hard to beat the price, even if you're going to need 2-3 to fill you up; at least then you can try a whole selection of savory snacks, and really experience the variety of wonderful flavors here. If only more food carts had the option to sample multiple entrées in an almost a la carte fashion, like you can here at Masa, because I know that, many times, choosing just one option seems like you're missing out. If variety is the spice of life, then Masa is the spicy little seniorita making it all worth while!

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.
