    Crispy fried rockfish taco
    Kade H.

    Crispy. Flavor. Service. All present. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Picnic tables outside Forstside Brewery.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Order at the window, they give you a beeper. Pickup when it beeps. Simple. Will definitely come back.

    This was our first visit to El Viejon Fortside and it did not disappoint! We ordered outside and got our buzzer. We went in and enjoyed Fortside while we waited. It didn't take long and our food was ready. I had an assortment of tacos. The shrimp taco and the fried fish were my favorites. It was great they have the salsa bar, I like the hot salsa option, it really brought it all home for me! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, great service, great location![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    My second visit here and it was again a 5 star experience. The birria is exceptional but the chicken tacos are my absolute favorites. We ordered at the truck and were given a pager, went into Fortside for a beer and within 10 mins, our food was ready. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is seating outside, it's a big area, or you can go into the brewery.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The people working in the food truck were friendly. I highly recommend this truck to anyone looking for authentic tacos!!

    Carne asada burrito
    Jessica R.

    I got the El Gobernador and the rock fish tacos. They were phenomenal. My family got the carne asada burrito. It was enormous and the meat was perfectly seasoned and the guac was bomb. I've got so much food here and it's all been phenomenal.

    Holy cow! Alpastor taco on point! Same with the shredded beef, rockfish, and shrimp tacos! Transported us right back to Mexico. Gosh dang! Get down here today to get these tacos. Service = Amazing! Their salsa with the chips and salsa... well words can't describe! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing this brewery and incredible taco cart are missing... is a beach![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll skip the beach all day for these tacos and beer! Boom! We'll be back! Keep up the great work y'all!

    Quesabirria taco and mahi mahi taco
    Camille H.

    Always love to get tacos from this food cart! Went to Fortside for the first time and had to get a quesa birria taco to go with my beer. That's my favorite taco to get! So good! My husband tried the mahi mahi taco and he liked it. Food typically comes out quick and the service is good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating right outside the cart that is covered or seating inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check them out when you're getting a beer!

    Absolutely the best! Birria, fish taco and carne asada taco. Delicious!

    Another location located at a great brewery in Vancouver, Fortside Brewing. El Viejan offers up some authentic Mexican style favorites and easy is prepared fresh and full of flavor. My go to is the birria, fish tacos and the carne asada. So good that you must give them a try.

    Fried oyster taco, shrimp empanada
    Travis W.

    We got food while at the taphouse right behind it. The prices are good, and the food was fresh and hot. At first I was uncomfortable about 8 bucks for chips and salsa....until they told us the salsa was for a group (they give you a lot) and it's made fresh. I hate to say it....but I'd pay for the salsa again (the chips are only two dollars per bag). The empanada was amazing. By far my favorite thing I tried. I also loved the fried oyster tacos. My partner got the Pollo asada tacos and said they were great (he got pickled onions on them as a side). I highly recommend trying all of their salsas. Great flavor (especially the habanero)

    I've heard a lot about this spot, the tacos are good. I wouldn't say amazing, but it's because I've eaten lots of tacos in SoCal. They give a lot of filling for their tacos and the corn tortillas taste delicious. Orders came decently quick and I could tell each order was made fresh. The staff suggested some of the popular seafood tacos people order and so I got those - the fried rockfish taco and the el gobernador. The el gobernador is something I haven't had before, lots of cheese stuffed in what seems to be two tortilla with lots of shrimp and there's some sauce. It was pretty good. The fried rockfish taco had freshly fried rockfish. Crispy, juicy, topped with cabbage, pickled onions and a sauce. I also got the carne asada and al pastor which was okay. Good amount of meet to toppings. I also got a Jamaica not pictured which was a nice refreshing drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Based on their location, they are outside a brewery so you could also get other drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's decent amount of parking here and there's indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall good experience, definitely recommend their seafood tacos.

    Kimberly C.

    Me and my hubby's favorite spot for a quick drink and some good food. We love the shrimp empanadas and El Gobernador Tacos.

    Burria taco and mahi taco

    A hidden gem!!! The mahi tacos are out of this world!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute spot too for being in a parking lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also the beer at the fort was awesome!

They were both very dry and flavorless with only carrot and cabbage filling. Barely any sauce and no flavor. Hard to eat due to being so dry very bland to the taste.

Parking was easy but if it gets busy there's limited formal parking spots. I had a hard time deciding (everything sounded so good!) so I asked for recommendations. The gal mentioned the most common met and vegetarian dishes--for the meat, she recommended chicken dumplings and for vegetarians the cheese pierogis. I was quoted a 10 min wait time so I would expect a longer wait time if there was actually a line. I'm more used to Asian variations of these types of dumplings. It came with a container of sour cream and it added a layer of hearty deliciousness I wasn't used to but was a rich treat. It was a fabulous comfort lunch on a chilly rainy day. I'll happily come back with some coworkers the next time I'm on that side of town!

    I tried this place for the first time, after hit and miss, with them be closed for several reasons…read more However, I called today to make sure they were opened and they answered. So, sure enough I made a trip out there...It's a good 25 minute drive from where I live. I ordered the Huli Huli Chicken and it was some of the best chicken I ever had! Even with a plastic fork and knife, it was super tender and moist. Grilled perfectly and tasted so darn delicious! They gave me a side of Teriyaki, which I barely used on my rice, since the Chicken was flavorful enough! The Mac Salad was very good as well! If it seems a little on the speedy side, it cost me almost $17 with tax, they justify by giving a big portion of Chicken and rice. It's enough to split among two people. Next time I make a trip out there, I would like to try their Garlic Chicken or their Poke dish. I wanted to try their dessert, but I didn't see a Chocolate dessert listed on the menu. Maybe next time! ;-)

The woman who took my order, pretty sure she's one of the owners, was very friendly and kind. We chatted for a bit as I was waiting for my order which was very nice.

You get A LOT of food for your buck which is awesome. Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh! This is located on the side of a mini mart, initially when I pulled up I thought it wasn't there but then finally saw it and had to turn around. Nice food truck with lots of yummy options. Excited to come back and try it again. However they did say they were closing for the rest of the year for winter break. Also, take note this is cash only! Luckily I had some cash but they have an ATM in the mini mart it's next to if you don't have any.

    Came to this place because I am from KC and love bbq and also love to cook brisket myself. I also…read moreread a review that the brisket sandwich was pretty good here. I won't be coming back. The gentleman who runs the place is very friendly. I noticed the price for the special was $12.95 but then he told me it was $14.06 with tax. The sign that he has that states special of the day "brisket sandwich" $12.95 and does not state anything about plus tax at all. So that was a surprise. The other thing the sign does not say it comes with a small bag of lays chips either. I guess the chips he gives you is consolation for the fatty, salty, chewy, fatty small two pieces of brisket he puts on the sandwich. Plus who adds lettuce to a brisket sandwich anyways. I took two bites. The first bite was full of fat and tough chewy, salty brisket. The second bite the whole piece of fatty brisket came out from between the buns and the sandwich eating part for me was over. I left the bun, lettuce and pickles on the to go container and tried to choke down a bite or two of some of the salty, fatty, undercooked brisket that remained. To me, brisket should be tender and you should be able to gently bite into it and you get your bite. This was spongy and too tough to even bite into. Then, I went over to the taco truck and got a quesadilla because I was still hungry and their food was not much better either. Oh well not my day at the food carts in downtown Battleground Washington.
