    2 Ronan bowls and a cocoa smoothie
    Kaitlin C.

    THIS WAS AMAZING! It took us awhile to find the truck because it was unmarked and we just didnt see it but so glad we did! All the folks working were super friendly and having a great time. They have quite a few vegetarian options and lots of healthy breakfast options! What a win! We ended up getting two ronan bowls (minus eggs and mushroom on mine) and a cocoa almond chia smoothie. I couldn't stop talking about how tasty it was the whole meal. Very fresh and lots of flavors which were all balanced. They also have house made sauces as well (chipotle was delicious!) Normally with chia seeds they get stuck in your teeth but they blended the smoothie up so much I didn't even notice them! 10/10 experience. If I we lived in town we'd be here all the time.

    Steak & egg burrito

    Medium sized restaurant/coffee bar in a quiet neighborhood in NE Portland off the beaten path in the shadow of Mt. Tabor. We went (again) for their steak & egg breakfast burrito & their breakfast taco. The steak was extremely tender and perfectly cooked and my wife really enjoyed the taco. The service is about as quick as can be for freshly made food & the people are very kind. We also ordered a Green Smoothie, which was very refreshing, and a Mexican Mocha, which had the right amount of "spice" - not too strong, but just enough. We have recommended LO to our friends.

    Wonderful family run Taqueria! The homemade tortillas are amazing and complement the food. Pro Tip: order ahead and pick up to skip the line

    Steak and egg burrito
    Scott S.

    Had the steak and egg (w/o sour cream). All the ingredients were great however burrito itself was a tad watery. Not greasy though so that was a huge plus. They have a few salsas to choose from which were good but didn't try the habenero. The cart is very unassuming without any signage just being a black trailer in a parking lot. Thought there would be a line but turns out everyone was waiting in their cars so looked quieter than it was but still got my burrito in about 10 min around noon on a sat. Need to go back for a non breakfast option and get some of that hab sauce.

    a black food truck parked in a parking lot

    Perhaps the best burrito I've had in a LONG time?! This food truck is super hard to point out - it's just a black trailer in a small parking lot with no signs indicating what the place is called at all. There's only one single picnic table for people to eat, luckily our group was able to snag this just in time before the wave of people came. I ordered the Osita burrito ($10.25) - it comes with eggs w/ chorizo, black beans, pico de gallo, pepper jack cheese, and sour cream. We were coming back from a hike and the burrito definitely brought my energy levels back up lol. The chorizo was flavorful and perfectly spiced, the cheese was oo'in and goo'in, and you could tell it was wrapped with care because it held itself together nicely! The cashier was the sweetest person. She was super patient with us as we were taking our order since we were a larger group, and was very generous with the amount of salsa given to us when we asked. I'd definitely come back during my next visit to Portland! The crispy taco options are also great, try the brunch taco!

    Vegan and brunch taco: excellent
    Andrew A.

    Found this little gem via eater.com's "Where to Find a Real-Deal Breakfast" list. The brunch taco and vegan taco were delicious, love the thin crispy (but not hard) shell. Also enjoyed the steak and egg burrito with pico, their most popular item. They offer three varieties of hot sauce. The Mexican Mocha is one of the better, just hints of dark chocolate rather than overpowering. The owner is very customer service oriented, very nice. Spanish speaking customers which is a good thing at a Mexican food cart. Prices are very fair. It took me a few passes to find it as the cart is Black and somewhat hidden.

    La Maria Burrito
    Jenny T.

    Best burrito we have had. We got the La Maria Burrito, filled with carne asada beef, grilled peppers, cremini mushrooms, not too much black beans, cheese, salsa, & sour cream. It's filling! Will definite go back when in the area.

It is the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable settling into. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind, and the service was genuinely great throughout. We ordered the Quekas with vegan chorizo and black beans and they were SO good, honestly a standout. The chips and guac were also a hit, and I loved that the guac was actually cold. Such a small detail that makes a big difference. The Citrus Salad was super fresh, crisp, and delicious, which balanced everything out perfectly. I also tried the NA classic margarita and it was so refreshing. I loved the subtle touch of orange juice. Overall, such a lovely spot with amazing food, great vibes, and thoughtful details. I will definitely be back!

Today my wife and I enjoyed scrumptious Tacotes, one chicken and one Bok Choy with house made salsa. Also, the Tetela de Requeson, maiz, beans and sprouting broccoli with a house made requeson - kind of like ricotta cheese - very beautifully plated and so delicious. Extra side of yummy and creamy black bean frijoles with sour cream, butter, tortillas. Instead of desert, the Mezcal, chile and lime was refreshing. Right now open for lunch Thursday through Sunday 10-3pm. No fixed menu, changes with what's fresh - the way chef Angel loves to cook respecting what is in season. Service and ambiance is friendly and knowledgeable about the food and its origin - another reason I love dining here so I learn about what I'm eating and how it was inspired. Yes, the food plated looks so good, I am inspired to dig in. There's a reason it was recognized early in its start by Eater, Portland Monthly and the Oregonian as one of the best restaurants in the city because foodies seek out and love to go where the food experience is special - especially the chef tasting menus in the past. Now I'm watchful and ready to go back and see what the chef Angel is serving up. What else is so special is Republica was a James Beard award nominee too!
