These mahi tacos were an absolute standout. The fish was perfectly grilled--moist, flaky, and seasoned just enough to let the fresh flavor of the mahi shine. Each taco was piled high with crisp cabbage, fresh pico de gallo, cilantro, and a creamy sauce that added the perfect balance of richness and tang. The sides were just as impressive. The cilantro rice was light and fluffy, the coleslaw was fresh and crunchy, and the macaroni salad was creamy, well-seasoned, and clearly homemade. A squeeze of lime and a dash of the house hot sauce tied everything together beautifully. What I loved most was how fresh everything tasted. Nothing felt heavy or overdone--the textures and flavors all complemented each other perfectly. It's the kind of meal that makes you start planning your next visit before you've even finished eating. 5/5 -- Fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. If you're a fish taco fan, these mahi tacos are worth going out of your way for. read more

Mahi taco provides a more fresh, innovative take on Hawaiian food. It is found inside the Piedmont food carts, which provides a quirky, whimsical atmosphere to eat with abundant seating. We came on a hot day so they were only open after 7pm. As we went up to order, the owner seemed annoyed and grumpy with us (possibly because of the heat) Nonetheless our food came out fast. I had the fried avocado taco plate. The tacos themselves were just decent, the fried avocado pieces were underwhelming and bland and the tortilla was a bit too toasted for my liking. However, the slaw and all the different sauces really amped up the brightness and spicy/sweet flavor. The cilantro lime rice had good flavor, but the rice texture was mushy. The Mac salad was solid, but was missing the traditional sweetness I'd expect. It's worth mentioning my boyfriend really enjoyed his chicken and his rice wasn't overcooked at all. read more

WOW this place is SO good! We stopped by for dinner and we were back again for lunch the very next morning. The mahi taco plate comes with three sides - rice, Mac salad, and coleslaw. I am not a coleslaw girlie; I will go out of my way to get anything BUT coleslaw. However, this one is INSANELY good!! The Mac salad and rice are yummy and filling. Now, the mahi tacos.... YUM!!! The portion of fish in the tacos is super generous and it's well seasoned. The service is great and location has a lot of seating. Support your local small businesses read more

The service is phenomenal he was super nice and helpful. We got almost everything on the menu, the Mahi taco was better than the one I had fresh off the boat in Hawaii!! My mind was blown... the chicken taco was my next favorite, the fried avocado taco was alright I wouldn't order it again, but it was interesting. This place will transport you to a beachy vibe every bite you take. My new favorite fish taco place for sure. Thanks for taking me to the islands one bite at a time ;) read more

Great tacos! Really tasty sauces. Super nice guy, I love when we get our food from here.

I shared the 3 taco plate with my cousin and o...m...g.... The fried avocado was SO GOOD. I still think about it! Perfectly crispy, creamy, flavorful, and of course full of the magical essence of avo. The pork was really great too, but I don't remember it too much. Really, nothing compares to that fried avocado... My cousin had the mahi taco and she said it was super tasty! I tried two of the salsas. The green was good but the habanero was incredible. Too bad most of it spilled into the basket (our fault) and I didn't want to out them another splash of it. But I made due with what we could save, and I'll be dreaming about it until the next time I come by for the fried avocado taco... read more

Great spot for some island style tacos. I've tried all the tacos and pork sliders as well. The flour tortillas have just the perfect amount of char and crunch to them. You can choose natural or blackened, blackened is the way to go. Great value here, I usually spend about $10 and leave full and satisfied. read more

We visit this pod once a week or so...and have a bunch of favorites here, so easy! But we never tried Mahi Taco. After all, what could be differentiated about a taco truck taco? We tried it for the first time, and seriously, it may be the best taco we have ever had!! We will likely never have another trip to Piedmont food cart pod without a trip to Mahi Taco! The tortilla was amazing, crispy, and ingredients divine - check out the photo! Also, even if most other places are closed, this guy seems to be open more often and later than most others. So that Monday night craving? Yep... read more

Wow. New favorite taco/Hawaiian spot! I got the 2 taco plate with garlic shrimp and my partner got the blackened mahi-mahi tacos and we traded one for one and everything was DELICIOUS. The Mac salad was great, and I'm usually not a coleslaw fan but not the case here!! And it was $9 (a dollar off taco special). I hope the garlic shrimp stays on their menu. read more

Best fish tacos ever!!!! & the sides that come with the plates are light, & refreshing

Absolute best tacos in Portland. Come to this place at least once a week and it's never disappointed. 10/10

Delicious food & super nice guy at the helm--he helped us find the right dishes. The plate option is a great deal: 2 tacos with sides of mac salad, slaw, and cilantro lime rice for $10. Loved the fried avocado and kahlua pork tacos. Yummerz. read more

I literally never have written a review. Good or bad, I've been in Portland for a month and sadly, coming from NYC it doesn't even come close to holding up. That was until I went to maho taco. Even though I'm picky and I don't want this or that, they're still cool and understanding. Foods insane. 2 small pulled pork sliders in a potatoe bun for 3.50, and a slamming little quasedilia(sp) for like 2.50. Gimme a break! This place is unreal, a breath of fresh air!!!! Check em out! read more

we've been coming to this cart for yrs, all thru the pandemic too....we shared 3 mahi tacos and they were superb as usual...the man is so nice and the food doesn't take very long....it's fun at this food cart pod with so many choices.....it's very relaxing too with creative carts/eating areas with this converted gas station......thx so much read more

Great food, good prices, and friendly service! Having lived in Hawai'i for many years, I'm always missing a taste of the islands. The grilled mahi taco reminded me of Maui Tacos, and it was delicious! Flour tortilla instead of corn, grilled fish (can get blackened, but I opted for "natural"), crema, pico, cabbage, and cheese. It was really tasty, and all the ingredients were well thought out and complimentary. I opted for the plate which came with mac salad, coleslaw, and cilantro rice. The rice was the only miss for me. It was dubbed "cilantro rice", and it was literally steamed white rice topped with minced cilantro. I was expecting more of a seasoned type rice, kinda like Chipotle, but it was still good. Normal plate is $8, but only $7 for "Mahi Mondays". I'll be back! read more

I had the best experience here. The guy who owns it and runs it was so good to me. I messed up my order by not realizing the lime sauce was sour cream based, and I can't eat sour cream. With no complaints he took it back and made me a new one without it. We got to talking and he shared he was working two jobs - the cart and a second one. The cart pays for the cart, the other job for his life. As a performing artist, it felt familiar. And did I mention the taco was fantastic? Check this place out! read more

Two grilled chicken tacos and 4 pork sliders, now our favorite place to stop. Excellent food, superb service!

Honestly this is some of the best food I've ever had. The meat is tender and juicy and the flavor is amazing. I've never had a bad meal from here. Can't recommend it enough!! read more

We each had a fish taco and a fried avocado taco plate, with a kalua pork quesadilla. The pork was dandy, the quesadilla toasted just right. The tacos were fresh and very tasty, with excellent sides too. By unanimous agreement, we'll be back. read more

You cannot go wrong with anything on this menu - highly recommend trying this out. Great local spot who gained a new frequent customer.

I love the food here, I go to these carts specifically for this spot. However, went here on Monday during lunch and he was opening late (totally fine, we had a beer while we waited) and when he opened I went up to place my order he was very rude to me and seemed annoyed that I wanted to order food there. When we later asked for some to-go boxes, he was very hostile towards us for it. Again, the food is fantastic, but it was not great to be treated this way. read more

Best. Tacos. EVER. Seriously, no others can compete. I found this place on a whim and have gone back several times, being sorely disappointed any time they were closed! I've since memorized their hours and go back as often as I can! You've got a regular in me as long as I live in PDX and any time I come back to visit. read more

I would like to say that I have never ate here before. I come to these specific food carts all the time(at least once a week) and they are NEVER open. Which is unfortunate because I really want to try their food, seen so many good reviews but have never seen them open within the couple years I've known about these carts. read more

Fish tacos were spot on. Fish was fresh and flavorful. The pod is great with beer and bathrooms!

Holy cow! Fantastic fish tacos and pork sliders! The guy is super nice too. Will definitely be back!

Best tacos in Portland! Jeff is dedicated and an awesome chef! Everything is super fresh and he really cares about his neighborhood and customers. read more

This Place is AMAZING. The Mahi Mahi is on point, the lime cilantro rice a nice balance and the slaw was refreshing. My bf ordered the fried avocado taco and it was our favorite thing we tried. My only complaint is that the portions on the platter felt small. I didn't leave full! That being said... Super worth the trip. The owner was super gracious and we could tell he really cared about his food and pleasing his customers. Will be back without a doubt! read more

Great food and service! There is something on the menu for every member of my family (kids and adults alike.) I love the sliders!! My family and I leave full every time! Thank you so much Jeff for taking pride in what you do! Forever customers right here:):):) read more

Tacos were good, not mind blowing. Clean and fresh, but not exactly packing a flavor punch. I almost want to give 4 stars because the owner is awesome. I had a pork, Mahi, and fried avocado taco. Avocado was the best. Tortillas are a little think/store bought. Pro of that, is that your taco won't fall apart on you. I didn't try any of the sides - Mac salad etc. A plus service and ambiance, but for me best fish taco in town still goes to Pepinos. read more

I have been looking for fish tacos for awhile, and I did in fact go to Mahi Taco with them in mind... but I got to his window and was enamored with the aroma of his kalua pork, so I ordered that instead! He serves it on King's Hawaiian bread, the perfect choice for his tender, flavorful pulled pork. The red cabbage slaw is a nice foil for the meat and bread's sweetness, just enough tang to balance. We also got a chicken quesadilla, and again, perfectly tender and tasty meat, with colby cheese. His house-made lime sour cream sauce ROCKed it, a way cool twist! If these members of his menu were this good, then I can't wait to go back for his signature dish!! His food made PDXeater.com's Top 17 Food Carts Blowing Up Portland, and it's EASY to see why! Looking forward to my next visit. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile so I was so happy they were open. I tried their pork, Mahi(curse word, these are amazing) and avocado taco. WOWWwwieee chefs kiss. Can't wait to come again! Don't miss out on their sides either, a lot of bang for your buck. read more
