    Vegan Tacos
    Amayah E.

    Solid vegan tacos, you can add vegan sour cream for an additional charge. The service is fast and there's an area to sit in.

    Torta

    I got a carne asada torta and loved it! It was a lot of food, it came out fast, and it was tasty. Fast service and good indoor/outdoor space.

    Great selection, this last time I enjoyed the nachos (sauces available, just ask!) they have plenty of protein options!! They offer a bowl rather than a burrito for us gluten free people! Portion sizes are normal & as expected. The service is always excellent!! This location is cozy & clean. In colder months I'd plan on just pick up because there is room for maybe 5 people inside. Parking is just on the street, you will probably have to park a block over.

    Pretty sad asada tacos
    Ailun H.

    The reviews on Yelp and Google looked promising so my family and I came here to pick up nine tacos to go. They have all the basic meat staples and nothing more - pollo, carnitas, pastor, asada, maybe there was another one but I can't recall. Each taco is $2 and topped with onions and cilantro with salsa on the side. They don't give you limes here so if you wanted a squeeze of lime, you gotta go buy your own. Additionally, the tortillas here aren't corn, they're flour. The onions here are also cooked. Overall, these tacos were very small and an average person would probably need at least 6-7 to feel full. I got both pastor and asada tacos and couldn't tell what was more underwhelming. The meat on both were dry and flavorless - the salsa verde was OK but could not save the tacos overall. If you had me blindfolded, I'd probably struggle to distinguish the pastor and asada. Maybe tacos aren't the move here. I definitely would not recommend coming here for tacos when there are so many other nearby options.

    The wet burrito did not disappoint. I love how stuffed the burritos are with lots of beans, rice, and soy curls. The red sauce is not too spicy either. The only thing I didn't like were the veggies on the side. I felt like the chopped cabbage, tomatoes, and cilantro were soggy.

    We've come here for pickup orders and have been very pleased. My big thing is nachos and these are really good, fully loaded. The tacos are simple, but the chicken ones are the best - really tender chicken. We've tried the torta and burritos and have never been disappointed. Reasonable prices and food is ready on time. Can't complain about the portions or service. What's even better is that you can get items made vegan without sacrificing because they have many options. We'll be continuing to come here.

    Uncut Torta, yay!

    First time eating El Nutri Taco. I opened my torta and it wasn't cut. If I were at home no big deal but I was not at home. Second thing I noticed, zero limes or salas, what? Seems like two big oversights to me, not a great first look. The food is lightly seasoned, kind of simple. Is it going to satisfy that itch for deep SE Mexican food, no. Does it come close? Kind of? The best part is you don't feel heavy after eating it, I guess? I will give it one more shot and update my review if I have a better experience. The low rating isn't because the food was bad it's because they didn't pay attention to small details. Prices are normal.

    Love the vegan- vegetarian- and meat options. They were very kind and quick to bring out our food. Everything tasted fresh and I loved the pickled jalapeños on the nachos! They have outside seating and thankfully the evening was nice outside so we enjoyed the patio a lot. Will definitely visit again.

    Went here for my friend's birthday dinner. I don't think I've been to a vegetarian Thai place…read morebefore, but the food was amazing! We took the bus here and it was close to a bus stop, and I think there's also street parking available as well. The decorations were very cute--it's a smaller restaurant, but they really made sure the ambiance was nice. I ordered some tea and a see ew, and we shared waffle fries and brussel sprouts.

Since it was my first time, I asked the staff for a recommendation. They suggested the bibimbap and mentioned it was on the spicy side, which I was totally okay with. While their cocktails looked really tempting, I ended up getting a Mexican Coke, and I loved that they had it. The bibimbap was absolutely delicious. It had so many different flavors and textures, and somehow they all worked perfectly together. The waiter also suggested mixing everything together before taking the first bite, which I really appreciated. The ambiance was super cute, with a cozy little tiki-bar vibe inside, and they also have a few outdoor tables. The service was exceptional throughout. This is an easy 5-star review from me.

    Watch in-depth video breakdown here…read morehttps://youtu.be/2LsMS2vxzRU?is=U5MfItnpo97tUvuq Dirty Lettuce had me questioning whether I was really in Portland or somehow got transported back down South. I'll admit, I came into this place with a slight bias. I'm from the South, and maybe it's ignorant, but when I hear "soul food," I automatically think of the South. I grew up around soul food. I know what good collard greens taste like. I know what good mac & cheese tastes like. So when I heard people on TikTok raving about a vegan soul food restaurant in Portland, Oregon, part of me was thinking: "Soul food? In Portland? How good could it really be?" Well... Dirty Lettuce shut me up pretty quickly. I originally found this place while searching TikTok for vegan restaurants in Portland. Dirty Lettuce kept coming up, and people especially hyped up the fried chicken and BBQ ribs, so I had to see for myself. I ordered the fried chicken meal with collard greens and mac & cheese -- two sides I take VERY seriously. The fried chicken was incredible. The seasoning and batter reminded me of some kind of combination between KFC and Popeyes, while the inside stayed moist and tender. At certain points I genuinely forgot I was eating vegan chicken. It tasted and felt like I was eating a Southern fried chicken plate somewhere in Mississippi or Alabama. Then came the collard greens. Man... These greens tasted like somebody's grandma was in the kitchen cooking Thanksgiving dinner. They serve them in a bowl with plenty of pot liquor, so initially I thought they might be a little watery. Nope. That broth was PACKED with flavor. It was almost like a collard-green soup, and I mean that as a compliment. The greens and the broth complemented each other perfectly. And the mac & cheese? A1. Creamy, rich, flavorful, with this subtle smoky taste that I wasn't expecting. I don't know exactly what they did to it, but whatever they did -- KEEP DOING IT. I also tried the BBQ ribs. They were good, although they were probably my least favorite item compared with everything else. But that's almost unfair because the chicken, greens and mac & cheese set the bar ridiculously high. I also went into the ribs with huge expectations after hearing people hype them up on TikTok, and I'm not really a ribs guy to begin with. So take my opinion there with a grain of salt. They were still good. My one area for improvement would be customer service. The woman who took my order wasn't rude or anything, but I personally would have appreciated a warmer greeting and more inviting energy. I'm very big on customer service, and I think the person at the front counter sets the tone for the entire experience. Maybe she was just having an off day -- we all have them -- but that was really the only part of my visit that didn't match the quality and energy of the food. The restaurant itself is small, clean and has some really cool artwork on the walls. It has a nice atmosphere without trying to be anything overly fancy. But the FOOD is the story here. At one point during my meal, I remembered that Black people make up a relatively small percentage of Oregon's population, and I became convinced somebody from that percentage had to be back there in that kitchen cooking. Because there was no way these greens were tasting this close to something my grandma would have made on Thanksgiving. I came in skeptical. I left thoroughly impressed. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or eat meat every day of your life, I'd recommend trying Dirty Lettuce. And if you're from the South and you're skeptical about getting legitimate soul food in Portland like I was? Go ahead and try it. It legitimately reminded me of a Southern Sunday plate from somebody's mama's kitchen. Dirty Lettuce proved me wrong -- and I'm glad they did. Highly recommended.

I am vegan while my friend is not and we had no struggle finding options that suited our needs. What stood out: Service: The staff was knowledgable and checked in on us frequently. Our food only took about 20 minutes to come out despite a busy dinner rush and we were offered chili flakes to spice up our curries. was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Food: For the table, we ordered the samosas which were perfectly flaky and filled with fresh veggies. I ordered the ruby garden non alcoholic beverage as well as the tofu curry with coconut rice. Every bite and drink of what I ordered tasted unique and made with intention. The samosas were incredible dipped into what tasted like a sweet and sour chili sauce. My tofu curry and coconut rice had a delightful blend of textures and tasted like no other curry I have ever had before. Ambiance: The atmosphere is so cozy with Burmese decor alongside dim lighting. It is perfect for a date night or catching up with a friend. Overall, I will be returning to Top Burmese to enjoy more of their vegan friendly curries and appetizers!

People who have never worked in the service industry are generally clueless and walk into a restaurants like it's their first day on earth.
