The food is glorious. And it was packaged so nicely and attractively! Plenty of limes on the side even though we didn't request additionals. I had the Tres Quesobirria tacos and each was so packed with delicious beef! The bouillon was incredibly flavorful. I could only eat one, but one of my guests had one of mine and liked it very much. I had the last one just heated in the microwave the next day and it was almost as good as the first day. My husband and another guest both had the carne asada tacos and liked them. My husband is picky so I was relieved that he was satisfied - he actually used the words "really good" which sort of amazed me. Another guest had the chicken taco salad which was generously adorned with probably an entire avocado, and quite a lot of chicken. It was artfully prepared. Sides of rice and beans were even special; tasty and appreciated. I will be making a trip to La Catrina in person sometime very soon.

They were so delicious. I paid 38 dollars for all that food. The food cart area itself was adorable.

The menu is not marked as gluten free, so I took a gamble re: cross contamination. I ended up fine by the end of the meal, but ask your questions and proceed according to your own needs.

The kids shared the quesadilla from the adult appetizer menu and it was plenty for two. The adults had tacos. Lots of meat on the carne asada street tacos even though the shells are small. The other tacos are NOT small. Very generous portions for the quesabirria and the shrimp tacos. Everything tasted great and fresh. Make sure to squeeze the lime on the shrimp. *chef's kiss* Our server was friendly and quick. The decor in the place is colorful and cute.

We were given menus almost immediately and we ordered the salsa starter which came with 6 different types of salsa. These were amazing, I couldn't pick a favorite even if I tried. I also got a pineapple jalapeno margarita which was delish, and worked really well with the pineapple salsa. I went back and forth on what to order but eventually decided on 3 tacos. One of them, the soft flour taco, was a mistake (it was super bland) but that may have been on me for ordering it. The other two I ordered, the fish taco and al pastor, were great. The service throughout was great and our server made sure we had everything we ordered and more than enough water.

For those that it matters to, I walked into the employees and management loudly proclaiming their support and genuine proudness that Trump will be coming into power. If this is ok with you, then please ignore. If you don't wish to support those that push fascism PUBLICLY while customers are in their establishment, DO NOT SUPPORT BURRITO USA. (Don't believe me, ask the employees. They were the ones loudly discussing their support). Considering the sad irony of supporting a POTUS that is threatening their ethnicity specifically, I would really encourage those that care to not support this business. read more

This place is the JAM. The family that owns and runs it are wonderful and the food is fantastic. This isn't fancy Portland taqueria, but delicious straightforward family style mexican food. I love the carnitas burrito and the steak fajita tacos. Both are damn tasty. The guy that cooks is some sort of time traveling wizard and can usually have your food ready in a flash. I would happily choose this place over a PDX option. Its great to have such good cheap tacos in the Poose. Thanks guys! read more

The team at La Cabaña is a fun time and will be ready to make you believe in Mexican cuisine of small towns. Our server, "Martha12" as the receipt indicated, was a blast. She was non-stop jokes and sass, especially given that I am a very white man who clearly rarely consumes this fantastic cuisine. We started simple with carona, limes, and some chips. After some time reviewing the very large menus, she came and took our orders. Each of us went with an enchilada and burrito, with added refried beans to load up on more carbs and protein. We had ample time to relax, and the large umbrellas made me happy to be out of the sun. I ordered a piña colada, and holy heck, did it ever come in the largest cocktail glass known to man. Thank god I had help to consume it with a friend. The indoor space is quaint and small, so I expect in cooler weather that it would be hard to find seating. In summer there are several outdoor seating areas. There aren't many places to keep bikes when eating, so the team recommended the alley nearby. Ours ended up being safe, but, I would definitely recommend bringing locks. Parking should be ample, and the cute small town streets were a nice vibe. I left very content, and would definitely return on my next cycling adventure.

Troutdale Station is my favorite food cart mall I've been to so far, because it's so clean and well organized, so diverse, and so well curated. For anyone who isn't familiar, tinga is a traditional way of making chicken with chipotles, adobo, tomato, and tomatillo (which my autocorrect wants to call "tomato Lloyd). The meat is typically shredded, spicy, and saucy. Traditional toppings include onions and cilantro. They kept it basic, with a large pile of shredded chicken topped with onions and cilantro over what may have been a homemade tortilla (or at least a really good store bought one). The flavor of the meat was on point. Not my favorite taco of all time, but good enough for a 5 star review. The meat smelled good, which, as a once-upon-a-time vegan, is not something I'll say often. The service was really friendly. Most of the food cart operators are super personable. Some of them will try to win your business with jokes and free samples. It was easy to find a place to sit since this food court has a ton of indoor and outdoor seating. Parking was also easy since the parking lot was huge. I love trying new places, and I love when there is an affordable option like a taco or sope I can try before I decide whether or not I want to eat there again.
