I saw a tip that this cart has the best breakfast burrito in Portland, so I had to stop by. It's located at the corner of Hawthorne and 32nd. The pod has seen better days and could use some TLC to look a little bit nicer. Service at this car was friendly and quick. Prices seem in line with going rates these days. The breakfast burrito was really good. Best in Portland? I'm not sure I'm qualified to say, but I would probably put it in my personal top 5, if not top 3. read more

Some of the best Mexican food we've had in the United States! We had the Quesabirria, chicken taco, traditional burrito, and California burrito. Everything was delicious and fresh! Great spot on Hawthorne Avenue with benches out front that are covered and shaded. 10/10 recommend! read more

We arrived around 11:30 and there were a few people waiting. We made our order and the woman at the counter was friendly. The truck itself looked clean with no observable issues. My daughters and I walked around and looked at the other food trucks in the pod (great selections that I'm interested in trying). The food seemed to take a while (20 min) to come out with minimal people ordering. We got our food and headed home. We ordered the asada burrito and carnitas quesadilla. The food was good but not exceptional. I'd definitely eat here again if I was in the area and would like to try some of their other burritos. read more

3.5 Stars. Before you get excited about the lower than average price of a breakfast burrito know that the size is also smaller than what you normally get at a Mexican food cart. Overall, it was decent. The eggs were omelette-like rather than scrambled. The white cheese was nice and gooey, while the potatoes were neither hashbrowns or cubed. A nice surprise were the complementary chips and a delicious whole jalapeño pepper. The sauce was the normal boring red and green. The guy was very nice and parking is doable depending on the time of day. They seem to enjoy a following so many are more impressed than I was. read more

This review is long overdue because I have been coming here for years and I always recommend this place to people but they have the absolute best breakfast burritos in Portland. Hands down. The traditional burritos are also excellent and both salsas they make are different but very flavorful and compliment each other. This place is my go to on the regular! read more

I specifically asked whether it was sausage or chorizo, and she said it was pork sausage. But that's misleading--chorizo isn't the same as American sausage. It feels like she either didn't understand or just flat-out lied to my face. read more

I got 3 authentic street tacos, traditional refried beans and rice. I'm Hispanic descent and my grandmother made food of the same quality. I tried 3 different taco meats and loved all of them! It was only $13 for the plate and o had leftovers for a snack later. Delicious! read more

My favorite Mexican food in Portland! I highly recommend if you're looking for great tacos or burritos.

Delicious! I'm all about classic street tacos; flavorful, grilled, marinated meat topped with chopped onion, cilantro and a big squeeze of lime on homemade corn tortillas. For me, no cheese, salsa, lettuce, sour cream or other Americanized fixings; I want the classic style. The tacos at La Morenita deliver! I chose the pork carnitas which they grilled so the taco arrives piping hot, tender and juicy, with those much coveted crispy bits. Totally legit. Prices are totally fair and reasonable, $2.00 and under. If I lived in the area I'd have these every week! Of course they also make amazing burritos that I make two meals out of. For the $7, it's not only delicious it's economical. They do breakfast burritos that are the bomb! Next time I plan on getting the chilaqueles, one of my faves, but on this day I just could not resist the tacos as I'd had them before and knew how good they are. Owners are really friendly and work hard to get your order completed quickly while still serving quality food. Located on SE Hawthorne in a food pod area, you can't miss this brightly painted cart right next to Fried Egg I'm in Love. They have outdoor seating with a tent and of course take-out. Park right on SE Hawthorne or on the side street. Go to La Morenita to satisfy your Mexican cravings, you know you have them! read more

Spicy pork tacos were absolutely amazing. I would definitely put them up against the best I have ever had.

By far the best Mexican food I've had in Portland. The mole enchiladas are out of this world - my favorite - but the fish tacos are a close second. Everything here is super fresh, made by the kindest people. The food at La Morenita is infused with love. Highly recommend supporting this lovely family. read more

Burritos so good, it's even good when you're sober. High strung off my coffee next door at Tōv's bus cafe, I contemplated on whether I was hungry since coffee tends to suppress my appetite. I went with my gut feeling that it'd be best to eat anyway, and oooh I'm so thankful for my gut for nudging me to this taco stand. Seeing people eat their food was itself already promising as their faces were filled with delight. I saw this man chowing down on a burrito and knew I needed to get one of those. I got the traditional burrito with asada as my choice of meat, priced reasonably at $6-7ish. It was a good size, and most importantly, TASTY. I didn't even need to be hungry to want to keep eating. Quesadilla was also a great choice. Spot was a great find and certainly memorable, and even unforgettable. read more

Great tasting tacos especially the meat. Cool that they add chips to all their orders however there were stale. This place took a little longer that I'd like. I would come back for the cheap good tasting tacos! read more

This review is limited to one menu item that get every time, the machaca burrito. A machaca burrito has shredded beef and scrambled egg, and I love it. What I appreciate about their version is how well spiced the beef is. read more

Best spicy pork tacos in town! Friendly service, unreasonably reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

The best of both worlds for a vegetarian and a meat eater in one burrito. Well, not really, but you throw a chile relleno stuffed with Mexican cheese and steak in one tortilla with beans and guacamole and you have some magic there. That would be their signature burrito. The Morenita. Now I'm a frequent visitor to their immediate neighbor Tov Coffee (i.e. the big, red, double decker bus) and I have eaten at Fried Egg I'm in Love but I hadn't had the Mexican food at La Morenita. I'm glad to say that I've now had one of their honkin' huge burritos and they are inexpensive and damn filling, also damn tasty. The salsas were pretty good and not overly spicy in both red and green and even with a huge burrito lurking in my basket, there was also a side of chips with pico de gallo on them. I washed it down with some mango necter and I needed a rather lengthy walk afterwards. The steak was seasoned well and the chile had some charred flavor to it. The guacamole was fresh and the beans were creamy. It came together very well. I can only imagine how the rest of the menu is. They don't have a huge selection on meat choices, just the standard ones. No lengua or unusual meats that some other places will do but after this burrito, I think I'll have to try some more offerings. Friendly service and the food wasn't a long wait. Enjoy yet another good food cart here in PDX. read more

I had food poisoning from their steak. I visited this food truck on June 29th, and ordered 3 asada tacos to go. After eating the tacos at home, I had an immediate reaction and vomited profusely. I couldn't hold any food down for the rest of the day. I would have to blame the tacos on this. I won't be returning, sadly. read more

Tried the veggie burrito with chicken. The tortilla was good taste and texture wise. The rest was weird. From the first bite, there was this weird soupy texture. The flavor of all those juices was disappointing at best. Won't be back. read more

So, so, SO good! Tacos are the best anywhere. Transcendent. You will walk away feeling that your soul has been fed.

Let's get down to it. Pretty good burrito here. 5-6 bucks each. I got the shredded beef burrito. Very tasty. Their menu is typical food cart Mex with some Chile Relleno based burritos thrown in the mix. Yum. read more

Great Breakfast Burritos! I had the shredded beef & the partner got chorizo. Both amazing. Not greasy. Not over stuffed. Easy to eat. Got off the grill & just right! Also, the guys at the truck are super nice! If you're deciding if you should wait in that long ass egg truck line (which is a great truck too), don't. Give their well priced amazing breakfast burritos a try! They also throw in chips in the bag for free! So good! read more

if it's your thing to try and support POC( and owned by the sweetest Mexican couple) food establishments... La Morenita right on Hawthorne is the spot! Not only are they SO friendly, the food is so good! I generally get my taco fix, but today I branched out and got a chorizo burrito that was HEAVENLY. Give them your business! read more

What's one food that you can eat constantly and never get tired of? Tacos! Well maybe you get tired of them, but I can eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner 7 days a weeks and still love them. With that being said, La Morenita is my new favorite food truck on the east side. Always super friendly, fast service! They have a large selection of burritos and tacos. The first time I came I had 3 tacos. The shredded beef, grilled steak, and grilled chicken taco. Each were $1.75 ($5.25 for all) Three was plenty to fill me up but if you are feeling a little hungrier you can still get lots of tacos for under 10 bucks. All three were super flavorful and came with cilantro, lime, and guac. My favorite was the shredded beef. Perfect little hand tacos! (Came with a side of chips) The second time I came for a breakfast burrito. Since the shredded beef taco was my favorite I decided to go for the machaca and egg burrito $5.50. Beef, eggs, potatoes, peppers, onions and beans (comes with cheese but I asked for none). Most of the time when you get a breakfast burrito it is mostly potatoes and very little meat. Not here! Out came a massive and I mean massive burrito that was 90% beef and 10% fillers. It was steaming hot and delicious. Flavorful and warmed my sole. If it wasn't pouring rain right now, I would be on my way to get some lunch tacos but I can't seem to pull myself away from my bed at this time. read more

Way above expectations. Had the chorizo and egg burrito. Both huge and excellently flavored. Will def visit again when I'm in town!

Awesome taco spot that deserves support! Incredibly tasty and affordable tacos and they also hook you up with all the salsas you need which are also amazing. The people are friendly, too, which is an added bonus. My only complaint is that they aren't open later! read more

A wonderful food truck sharing the same podlet as Fried Egg,I'm In Love and Carte Blanch. Opening at 9 am, they offer a breakfast menu (until 11 am) that, in addition to the standard breakfast burrito choices, offer a half dozen or so egg dishes such as Rancheros, con chorizo, con machaca, etc. I had the chorizo version which came with the sausage scrambled with eggs, rice, beans, and four nice corn tortillas for $5.50. They also offer three delicious torta choices (milanese, chorizo, and pineapple) for $6.50 and they are STUFFED. I've also had their signature burrito ($7) which is is filled with carne asada and a chile relleno; very good, but I prefer the aforementioned tortas. Polite prompt service and a hot sauce option which is truly hot, highly recommended especially as a quicker breakfast option than Fried... read more

Awesome little spot with great breakfast burritos. These guys know how to grill their meat

Solid burrito, decently flavorful. Not the best I've had in Portland by any means but certainly not the worst. Average Mexican food. The burrito is more of a flat style - as in - it's not particularly stuffed with meat, etc. I didn't leave hungry but I've also had more stuffed burritos with more generous meat portions. I did however enjoy the crispier tortilla style as it made it sort of a cross between a burrito and a flat pressed wrap. Would not go out of my way to go here, but would not hesitate to order if next door and hungry. Expect to be satisfied, but not wowed. read more
