    Lamb gyro
    Haley L.

    The best Gyro I've ever had. Ordered a lamb gyro with extra sauce and it did not disappoint. Very juice and flavorful. My grandmother ordered the chicken gyro and she loved hers as well. Highly recommend. I wish that we had this place in vegas. Can't wait to go back.

    Its surprisingly near to find a cart that offers paella. There's not too many of them in town that I am aware of that has this offering. I decided to give it a try and ordered the chicken paella. I am super glad I did as the dish came out tasting wonderful. The chicken itself was most and had lots of great flavor and went really well with the dish. The person in the cart was very nice and friendly and gave me an extra plate and utensil so I could share it with the others.

    Vegan Paella
    Austin K.

    Flavor overload! If you are wandering through cartlandia you may walk by La Camel without giving it second thought. The small menu may not have the same wow factor as the many other carts plastered with huge menus on the front. But what the menu lacks in length is made up ten fold in flavor. I tried the vegan lentil soup and the vegan paella and was delighted by both. The soup was hearty and had a rich flavor deep with spices that had clearly simmered for a long time. A great start to a meal that will warm you up if it is a chilly night. The star of the meal is the paella! It is clear that the proprietor of the cart is passionate about his craft as everything about the paella was great. There was a nice layer of rice that had a little crunch, the veggies were thick chopped and not over cooked, the seasoning was not overpowering the flavor of the veggies, and the dollop of what tasted like veganaise really added some richness to the very bright flavoured dish. The portion size was big enough to split if you are only after a light meal and it was a good value.

    Kafta kebab gyro and eggplant feta gyro = $16
    Amanda M.

    The food was delicious. After ordering, the food came out a few minutes later, but the flavor depth felt like it was cooking for hours. My son got the Kafta kebab gyro and told me it's a nice combination of spicy and savory. Also noted how the meat felt homemade and high quality. I ordered the eggplant feta gyro and it was equally delicious. Very filling, flavorful and loved the vinegar punch that made me sweat a bit. The pita is perfectly chewy and not too dense. You can tell the owner and chef takes pride in his cooking and representing morocan flavors. We will be back.

    So delicious!

    Paella(rice dish) was on my list of foods to try. I'm so glad I walked past this cart and saw they have seafood paella! I've wanted to try paella at a few restaurants, but they don't come in single servings. So I am happy that Portland has a few foodcarts that makes delicious paellas! I really liked it, it was what I expect from a paella. It tasted as good at it looked. Fluffy flavorful rice! The flavors were new to me, and I liked it a lot. It was so delicious and satisfying.

    Seafood Paella
    Felix R.

    I wanted flavor... and I GOT IT! Bonus for the variety in my seafood paella. Will be coming back to try the chicken paella and gyros.

    Seafood paella was amazing!

    Great food cart! Friendly service with excellent food! We enjoyed lamb gyro; seafood paella and hot mint tea (my favorite). They are now located at Sellwood food cart...go check them up!!

    Unbelievable great food and value! Defintely try the paella fishes, either the seafood r the chicken. Add the fresh hummus as an appetizer. There is agreat variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian and each dish will be perfectly seasoned. You can text orders to 503 778 0604.

    Chicken and couscous
    Misty S.

    I love working near the carts - There are so many great food options! Welcome to the pod, La Camel. I'm very happy you're here serving up delicious, comforting, looks relatively healthy Moroccan dishes! I started to feel a cold coming on today and I was in need of some comforting food. I was on my way to do some damage at 808 Grinds when I stopped to check out the options at La Camel. I went with the Chicken and Couscous ($8.75)... Delicious! I really did think about licking my foil container after. The chicken was baked and the couscous accompanied it perfectly. The little bits of cranberry gave me little bits of surprised sweetness. The broth was light and flavorful and honestly tasted like a home cooked meal. It was perfect! I will definitely be returning to work my way through this menu. The forbidden rice dish and paella caught my eye while I was waiting for my food and about gave me buyers remorse. Until next time!

    This food cart has easily become me and my boyfriend's go-to Mexican spot. Each time we have…read morevisited, the service is great. We love the tables to sit and have our food fresh, but the takeout has also been easy and just as good. The price for the portions is great and the food delicious every single time. We have tried a lot of options here, tacos, burritos, nachos, the super taco combo, and their different juices. All good. Would recommend if you're looking for a chill Mexican spot with even better food.

    Ah man! I was so excited to try this food truck after reading the reviews. We arrived just after…read morethey opened and the gentleman at the window was very friendly and helpful. I tipped generously assuming the food was going to be excellent. We ordered 2 Langua tacos, asada burrito, carnitas burrito and a carnitas quesadilla. We were told that it would be about 15 minutes. The space is right on 26, so fairly noisy. There were a few tables an available. The food was ready on time and we went home. I cut the carnitas burrito in half for my daughter and found 2 large bones. My other daughter, who ordered the carnitas quesadilla, found a bone as well. The carnitas itself had good flavor but an abundance of grease was an issue. The asada was pretty good and balanced with the beans and rice. The Langua had some spice to it and was flavorful and tender. The tomatillo and spicy sauce were great. The burritos were mislabeled on there boxes (asada was carnitas and vise versa). Pretty disappointed and hope this occurrence is not the norm.
