Saw them at…read morean event, was tempted by the other truck nearby but came here- and was tempted by several items. Picked almost at random: jerk chicken bowl. Loads of tender meat, flavorful and a bit charred on the edges. Yum. Over good rice, and plenty of veggies. A bit of heat, just a touch, either from the jerk or the tomatillo-jalapeno sauce. Big and filling, had some for later. Friendly fast service. Decent price. Now I want to try the rest of the menu.

Many people had ordered ahead on the Streetfood Finders app and pickup was running smoothly. I ordered in person from the truck and waited about 7 minutes for my meal. I ordered the Mofongo Sandwich and it was tasty! Unique with the plantain on top of the pulled pork and filling. I also tried one of the Cajun Fish Tacos which were impressive. Huge piece of flaky fish with great Cajun flavor. For sides we had some Gorilla Fries which were even great heated up the next day, some chips and queso, and the churros. The churros had a dulce de leche inside which was also very good. I'd recommend everything we ate!

I had him order three now I wish I had 5 lol .. also got the yellow rice. I would say it was okay. I could kinda get the puerto rican taste. Wish it was a bit more bolder. Also ordered a side of beans. They were good. Light brown full of sauce. The steak was a little chewy. But had a nice flavor. The potato salad wasn't for me. I kinda like either mustard or sweet. That one was a little dull to taste for me. But those empanada are winning for me!

We came across Por'ketta at an event again and grabbed two sandwich/side meals: the classic BBQ…read morepork sandwich (BBQ sauce and pickles) with chips (a bag of Lays classic) and the Pigcasso (pork, pickled cabbage, pickles, lemon aioli, and Bama BBQ sauce) with potato salad. They also had a seasonal summer salad starring zucchini on the menu, which also sounded good. The sandwiches are great sized and really loaded up with meat and toppings. Everything was much enjoyed and really hit the spot. The staff was friendly and efficient. They took the order with a phone number and then texted us to come back for pick up when it was ready.

I have eaten Por'ketta many times. They've never disappointed so I keep coming back. I first…read moreencountered them on the inaugural CBus Ale Trail outside of Zaftig (in it's original location). I remember it clearly as I was a newbie to Central Ohio and they sold Cheerwine* in bottles. From there, I've caught them at a handful of small festivals, at Platform, and at Pins Mechanical when they parked there for a while. I've had the por'ketta sandwich, the potato salad, and the pork sundae. I could have reviewed these guys quite a while ago but I guess I was waiting for a certain dish to push me over the 'review this now' ledge. Well, I had that dish this weekend at Platform. (Where these guys are parked on Saturdays.) I had the breakfast sandwich. The bread, same that is used for the other sandwiches, was beautiful. On the sandwich were roasted red peppers, that had been peeled! I really dislike fire roasted things that haven't been peeled (i.e. tomatoes, peppers) so when I saw that the ones on the sandwich were peeled I was stoked! It shouldn't be a secret, I freakin' LOVE mayo and mayo based things (Duke's mayo forever). But, MAN the aioli used on this sandwich was on point. The thyme in it took it over the top! The bacon was great and complimented the other ingredients well. The only thing I wasn't too keen on, at first, were the scrambled eggs on the sandwich. It looked (and smelled) a bit overcooked on one side of the sandwich. However, after a few bites into the sandwich, my dislike of the scrambled eggs changed when I realized that they had crisped the cheese to the bottom side of the eggs. I love crispy, toasted cheese! With the sandwich came a side of griddled potatoes. These guys are likely the same potatoes that get crafted into potato salad. There's a vinegar backing that reminded me of the potato salad. They complimented the sandwich oh so we'll. The gentleman that was working even brought out our dog some chicken! Our dog loved it of course and wants to already know when we can go back for brunch at Platform. Por'ketta serves the breakfasty side of their menu till 2 when they switch to lunch. As a note I had my wife order the sandwich as it comes; these guys would surely honor egg style requests. Next time I get the breakfast sandwich, I will ask for an egg with a soft yoke- as that would have made this sandwich untouchable by any other food truck (and likely restaurant) breakfast sandwich. ----- *Cheerwine is a North Carolina based cherry soda. You can find it a handful of places now- Kenny Road, Savor Pints, any of the City BBQs just to name a few. (p.s. I am not affiliated with Cheerwine, just a Southerner who likes a little taste of home)

Walking up to the truck, the guys running it were super friendly and energetic. The wait time wasn't bad at all and you get a lot of food for the price. I got the 2 piece fish and fries and the 2 piece pastelillo and fries, both to split. The seasoning of everything is very good. If I had to make a complaint, my only thing is I think there's just a tad too much salt on the fries. But still good! I will definitely eat here again and recommend it to others!!

Everyone hates on Columbus for not having "good/authentic" Mexican food; you just aren't looking…read morehard enough. This is no Tex-Mex joint, nope, not a sit-down restaurant, and no, definitely not within the 270 comfort zone. No quesadillas, no fajitas, no enchiladas, and no tacquitos. So don't expect it. This is a taco truck parked in Speedy Mart's lot with $1.50 tacos, $5 tortas, "horchata and tamarindo straight from the barrel," and not to mention homemade icey treats (nieves). Tacos come with the requisite radish slices, onion & cilantro, and lime wedge. Fillings: asada, carnitas, pastor, barbacoa, lengua, pollo, and tripa. Tortas: quesillo, jamon, chorizo, milanesa, and asada. Red & green salsas and guac on the side for personal flourishes. I like my lengua tacos with a squirt of green and two of guac. These are the best lengua tacos I've had outside of Roosevelt Ave in Jackson Heights, Queens. Miles better than Xalisco and Cuco's. Hours: Tuesday - Sunday, 11am-midnight. Rain or shine.

If you come here, know your Spanish because the staff here didn't speak English.

Even at that, your order might end up wrong! Several of us there got different things than what we ordered but they were all good anyway! The nieves servings are large and are about $3 each. I had Nut and JM had vanilla. He had never had this before and he was pleasantly surprised! It was delish! There was a picnic table out front so you can eat there and you pay after you eat so eat as much as you want!

It has a buffalo macaroni and cheese flavor, and a sloppy Joe flavor. The empanadas themselves are pretty crunchy and filled with lots of cheese and meat. It also has vegetarian flavors.

The Cubans are textbook and everyone in our group went crazy on the tamales. I know better. I held out for the Ropa Vieja. They tell me it's one of the national dishes of Cuba. Pulled stewed beef with various Cuban spices. It's served with Moro rice, which is basically white rice and black beans. They add a salad mix and it's a marvel. This is some of the better food truck fare we've had here in Ohio. We just can't get ahold of a schedule and it's been months now. Hoping and praying they still exist! 10/24

For me the Cuban sandwich is the star here with perfectly cooked braised pork and good quality ham. They actually use Cuban bread here for the sandwich which you don't see much of in Columbus. It's about as traditional as you can get. I've also tried the Ropa Vieja, which is another famous Cuban dish, and it was super tasty as well. It's beautifully seasoned shredded beef on top of Moro rice with a salad mix. You can't go wrong with this one. They also offer empanadas, tostones, and tamales among other things that are all made perfectly. If you see this truck around, or find it on StreetFoodFinder, you should definitely make it a point to stop in and give it a try.

For this meal I settled on Pablo's Havana Cafe for Cuban food. I like to try a little bit of everything, so I was excited to see the Bocadito Sampler that included Picadillo, Ropa Vieja, Pork, and Chicken. They were all delicious, though if I had to choose just one I think the chicken was my favorite. I also tried the yucca frita, though they warned me when I ordered it that they didn't have their normal yucca so it was more like french fries. The market was very crowded, but we managed to find an empty table at the far end. It was loud, which is to be expected around any good bar during Friday Happy Hour. Appreciated that the garages provided free parking.
