One day I didn't budget my time properly so I was looking for lunch that wasn't fast food that I…read morecould eat in the car. Fish and chips to the rescue. I got the cod. It had a panko crust which sometimes I prefer to batter. They were a little bit salty for my taste but ever since I got COVID lots of things have tasted salty so take that with a grain of salt I'm not a tartar sauce guy but this is some great sauce. I feel like later I got a piece of tarragon(?) out of my teeth and reminded me of the herby yummy sauce. I scoffed at first at the chips. Very non uniformly cut but surprisingly all well cooked. I don't know if it's they type of potato but the skin was really off putting. But solid toothsome chips that a splash of vinegar helps a lot. If I end up in a similar position again I'll definitely consider coming back.

Friendly owners. Sizzling fresh food. Price was decent for a food cart serving seafood. I got the…read morelarge serving for $16 and that was a good choice. I came after a review I read on Eater for FoPo area eats. I'm not a huge fried food fan but this place was good. I got the Steelhead trout fish and chips. Wait was ok they give you a buzzer so you can stroll around the food court. Took about 10 mins not bad. The locally sourced steelhead was a delicious surprise. Tender, juicy fish with crispy breading. Good seasoning. Fries were thicker so not as crispy but still hearty. 3 medium sized pieces of fish. They included ketchup for the fries as well as malt vinegar and tartar sauce for authentic fish dip. Wedge of lemon, too! All in a earth-friendly cardboard box. They take credit just fine. Very convenient location at Carts on Foster just down the street from where I was staying. So I walked back and enjoyed there. If you're staying you could probably cruise over to any local breweries or the bar cart for a beer to complement the fried food. Good time!!!

TLDR: Popular Portland food truck with a long wait, friendly service, and filling sandwiches that…read morewere worth it. ------ One of my Portland friends brought us here, and it ended up being a great recommendation. The food truck is located inside a food truck plaza with plenty of options nearby and ample outdoor seating with picnic tables. This particular food truck had a long line, which made the wait to order a bit lengthy. However, it was well worth it. The woman taking orders was incredibly kind and bubbly, which added to the overall experience. After ordering, the food took about 20 minutes to come out, but I did not mind since the sandwiches ended up being really good. The sandwiches were flavorful and very filling. Honestly, I probably could have been satisfied with just one sandwich. Overall, I thought this spot was worth the wait. I would definitely come back if I were in Portland again.

Overall: 4.2/5 Tried the Original Tokyo sandwich and the chicken nanban. Original Tokyo sandwich is excellent, with a really good mix of flavors that combine really well. The black garlic here provides really good flavor. Nanban was a bit disappointing, sauce was a bit one note. Unfortunately the line was super long when we went so it took a while to get our food. Probably go at a less busy time (weekday) but worth it for visitors.

The vegetables had good flavor and texture, and the whole thing came together really nicely. Honestly this was a really good veggie burrito, one of the better ones I've found at a food cart. Salbutes (4/5): Very fresh and good. The toppings were crisp and the tortilla held up well. A solid choice if you want something lighter than a burrito. Quesadillas (4/5): Good, and the kids loved them. They were simple but made with quality ingredients, and the cheese was nicely melted. Great for a quick bite or for picky eaters. Service: Not Rated Very friendly. The person taking our order was welcoming and patient with questions. Ambiance: Not Rated This is a food cart, so keep your expectations casual. You actually need a step to reach the window to talk to the person. There are two small tables and a canopy (an extendible tarp cover with stands) for some shade.

However, it was made up for not just by the pickled cabbage, but especially by the tortillas: these are the best handmade tortillas I've had in at least a year. I personally prefer the salbutes because they're softer and more foldable, but the crunchiness of a panucho is like if the ideal tortilla chip expanded into a whole taco-sized tortilla. (Also: avocado was fresh and salsas were tasty.)

Each taco had a weird single slice of pineapple on top so that the flavor isn't distributed evenly. Carne Asada was similarly bland. The Carnitas I'd give 4/5 stars to. It was good, but not great.

The way they cook them they get stuck together so annoyingly you can't even remove the extra tortilla. The brick and mortar might be better. Haven't tried it. But won't be back to the food truck.

The burrito was a little smaller than I expected, but still a solid portion.

The chips and salsa are only $3, and the bag of chips was huge (the salsa felt a bit small in comparison). The hot sauces were a highlight--perfect if you like a good amount of spice like I do! The food cart area also has an indoor seating space, which looked really nice. It was late so I didn't stay to eat, but I walked through while waiting and appreciated having that option.
