    While La Carreta de Mi Tierra (#1) has been quietly blowing up the taco street scene in Salem, just…read moreacross the street lies Los Pinos, an older, more traditional taco truck where tastiness and authenticity go hand in hand. Some would say this is the best street taco experience in the city, which is hard to argue, especially when the tacos are this good. Their tacos are around $1.50-$2.00 each, which beat the competition in terms of pricing but I trust this price will catapult in a very short time. Their version of carnitas are stewed and fried to perfection and their lengua / al pastor is fantastic. When available, their fish tacos are worth every dime, though they are a $1 more. It's not all tacos, they also serve a decent variety of burritos, quesadillas, and tortas. They're very good about stuffing every morsel of food into the tortilla / bread, which is abundant in its own right. Do not forget to use as much of their condiments to really enhance the flavor. Thankfully, it's never too busy here and the staff is super friendly. The last time I checked they were still cash only and parking is extremely limited. They've done well to attract a lot of local clientele, many of whom visit the truck during the late hours into the evening. There is some seating with these makeshift tables, but I prefer to take my food to go. When it comes to Los Pinos and their wonderful variety of street inspired food, everyone wins. _________________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-carreta-de-mi-tierra-salem

    After all the previous good reviews I had to try Los Pinos today. My bf ordered four tacos (two…read morechicken and two tacos de lengua). The guy who took our order and put everything together was really nice and patiently listened to how we wanted the tacos and burritos - no beans, etc. First bite was close your eyes good. There is some kind of salsa poured over the tacos that made their deliciousness more delicious. Lots of cilantro and onion and almost like a gravy. Then there was the burrito. Oh man it was so good! We tore it apart in greed and burrito lust and panted in shame afterwards. But not so much shame that we didn't plot to return next week.

    Having moved to Salem recently from Portland, I thought that I had seen every iteration of what…read moreThai food could be but boy was I wrong. Big Blue Thai BBQ is everything that I could ever want from Thai food. Our main dish was the Grilled Pork and Papaya Salad combo and it was absolutely addicting. The beautiful smoke on the pork from the charcoal grill complemented perfectly with the spicy, tangy papaya salad adding so much freshness to the dish. While the food was amazing, the real star of the show were the lovely people that operate the truck. They were both so genuinely friendly and welcoming and made our experience exponentially better. We only wish that we had found this place sooner.

    We had a great experience at Big Blue Thai BBQ! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly…read more-- especially the chicken, which was juicy and grilled just right. The sauce that came with it was remarkable -- sweet, savory, and totally crave-worthy. We ate outside and it was a really nice setup. Staff wasn't great. Relaxed, clean, and a great vibe for enjoying food truck-style Thai BBQ. My husband ordered one of the spicy dishes (unfortunately I can't remember the name), and just a heads-up -- it was next level spicy. He's a total spice connoisseur and has eaten some seriously intense heat, but this was the first time I've ever seen him unable to finish a dish. So definitely be careful if you're spice-sensitive! That said, it was still a 5-star experience overall. Amazing food, friendly atmosphere, and definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

    Willamette Valley Smokehouse is such a great find if you love BBQ and a cozy, casual atmosphere…read more The space has that welcoming Oregon vibe -- firepits glowing outside, live music setting the tone, and plenty of room to relax with friends or family. The BBQ is exactly what you want: flavorful, hearty, and clearly made with care. But the real standout is their Friday Seafood Fest. They serve whole Dungeness crab and BBQ oysters, and it's easily one of the best weekly specials in South Salem. Fresh, fun, and a perfect pairing with the smokehouse vibe. Whether you're stopping in for comfort food, live music, or a laid‑back night out, this spot consistently delivers great food and a great atmosphere. A solid local favorite.

Since it was kind of rainy and chilly out, we sat under a heater in the covered seating area and ate our food. My friend ordered jalapeño poppers and I stole one - excellent! Service is nice and friendly, food came out quickly, we ate and then played some Crazy 8s using a deck of cards from the basket near the tables. I took half my meal home for breakfast the next day and it was just as good heated up as it was fresh the day before. Easy access from I-5, lots of parking and plenty of tables. Go get you some!
