I am *so* excited that they are back open! Once again, I was on my way to pick up Thai food close by when I saw their sign out. Three years! I've been waiting for this day for three years. Best. Day. Ever. Best empanadas in Oregon! Seriously. The chaufa is awesome. And the chimi fries are a favorite. Perfectly crispy. Amazing owner, great service. Congrats on reopening! read more

Really happy that Chef Loretta has Rocoto back up and doing the vegan tofu and mushroom saltado again. This is a great place when you have both vegan and meat eaters as the food is always flavorful and well prepared - everyone that I've brought here has come back on their own because the food is very delicious. Service is always great and Loretta does an amazing job at providing a wonderful experience! If the weather is nice, there are picnic tables you can eat at and there is some parking in the area where the food truck is located. read more

My sibling had been raving about this place reopening and I finally got the chance to try. So good!! The vegan options are so delicious I will definitely be back read more

I have been reading about this place on my Next Door app and had to check out the place after so many rave reviews. Stuck on a parking lot off Highway 99 the red truck is hard to miss. I have never had Peruvian food before and was excited to give it a try. We had to wait a bit since there were a few people before us . There is ample parking and some picnic benches set up with a fruit and flower stand in the corner. We were given a pager when our food would be ready. So we brought some strawberries and peonies and waited. The food is fresh and tasty. There were some Asian and Italian fusion dishes as well. We opted to split a mushroom sandwich and the chicken fried rice. The only disappointment was they were completely out of empanadas and all the desserts. Will go back to try those items, but will get their early. The chef takes great pride in his work and is very personable. read more

As they sat down south "Si Si Si Si Si!!!!" I live pretty close and have passed by a lot. Finally I get my chance to try. I love that I can park right by it and stay in the car after I order. They were out of empanadas. He said why but my sorrow was blocking my ears. So I settled for the Pan con chicharron. Oh boy. Think of the greatest banh mi you've ever had with triple the meat. I actually don't like raw onions and I don't care much for sweet potatoes (like I said I was bummed about the empanadas) but the combination is perfect! Sweet salty tangy. So much good stuff. Little crispies from the pork make it all the better. The bread is a little bit dry so it's not a pretty sandwich to eat. Definitely a take home item. The chimichurri fries were awesome. I love how each fry has a uniform coating of seasoning. The only thing is no human or two humans or even three humans could finish an order. I'll definitely be back. read more

Our first stop at Portland and this food truck caught my eyes! We ordered Lomo Saltado, mushroom Saltado sandwich, and chimichurri fries. Food were extremely good and authentic. The sauce is perfect to dip both main dishes and fries in. There is parking space and outdoor sitting area as well. read more

11am on a weekday already a cars coming in and waiting, You know something is up! Browsing on Instagram and found this food truck as well as seeing it a few times. I decided on some empanadas and was in luck as the owner put a few in the oven to cook, before making more. They only had the creole ones so far and got a couple of those. I was told while waiting that they supply to restaurants and make them from scratch and fresh daily so they take time. I was greeted right away and helped as well as things were getting set up. There is a small sign for customers to wear a mask and hand sanitizer provided. The staff is wearing masks as well. I really like that they give you a buzzer to wait in your car and then pick up your entree when it vibrates. Helps with not only social distancing and limiting capacity but convenience and organization too. The creole empanadas were hot and warm. They were filled quite well and real pieces of garlic with the sirloin. Spices weren't overpowering and the sauce was a nice accompaniment. Not too spicy or mild, it was great to eat a couple bites with the sauce and then plain too (both ways are good). The dough was flaky but not crumbly as everything stayed intact and no leakage, a really great texture and softness before getting the meat and spices. I'll have to come back to try the main entrees and desserts later on in the day too. Handmade fresh read more

The empanadas sell out fast, so if you want one hot and fresh be there as soon as they open, they do get busy; but they hand out pagers so you can stroll the Mercado while you wait. We ended up finding a great smoothie to accompany our meal in the main building that was amazing. Has plenty of seating but be prepared to share a bench. Market inside has some amazing guacamole btw read more

Rocoto Peruvian Kitchen - Traditional Beef Empanada - Food Trucks Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

So excited about this place! Owner / chef Nelson makes everything: the mayo, the hot sauce, the bread! I got the chicharrones sandwich, bursting with tender succulent pork (not for the fat-averse! This is made from a fatty cut.) Also a beef empanada (delish) and a passion fruit juice, as good as any I've ever had, not too sweet. Word is the empanadas sell fast. They were just coming out of the oven around 11:15, 11:30 when I was there. Also vegetarian & vegan friendly, with a vegan empanada & a mushroom-based sandwich. Classic dishes like Lomo Saltado and Tallarin Saltado are on the menu too -- they both have asian roots, reflecting the multi culti deliciousness of Peruvian cuisine. Gonna try them next! These delicacies are made to order, people! My food came out pretty quickly, but it is not instantaneous. However, SO worth the wait. It's really high caliber food at food cart prices, so CHECK IT OUT! YUM! read more

Great food! We ordered a combo, a pork dish, and a side of patacones (fried plantains). The owner was extremely, extremely kind. The food was ready in a very reasonable amount of time. The rice was killer. Probably my favorite element. Extremely flavorful and lasting taste. The portions were generous. Satisfying meal with enough leftovers for a second. The patacones were originally left out but when we told him, he immediately set to making them. They were ready in no time and he even included an extra for the "inconvenience." Would definitely return and, what's more, bring someone else. So worth it. read more

Alright. Let me start by saying I don't write reviews, but this place made my heart and belly so happy that I really wanted to write one. I am a vegan living in Tigard with my non-vegan boyfriend. It can be difficult to find places for both of us to eat. I have gotten bored with the same ones we visit and tired of driving out to Portland just to get a good bite. I stumbled upon Rocoto on yelp and noticed it driving by. I got REALLY excited to see that they had multiple vegan options AND vegan empanadas. I mean, I don't know of any places around here with vegan empanadas. We got the chimichurri fries(amazing). I got the vegan tallarin saltado(amazing!!!). Boyfriend got the lomo saltado sandwich(he was silent all throughout eating it which means he's in heaven). The machine they use to make empanadas was down unfortunately, but we were told next week they'll have them. Thank you Rocoto for finally making me exciting to eat out again! Our new favorite place! :) read more

I've been driving past this truck for years going to and from HMart, but never stopped because my brain is typically laser-focused on Asian food. But today, as the wife and I were trolling for dog-friendly eats at a ridiculously late hour for lunch, we stopped at the truck on a whim not knowing what to expect. Well...lemme tell YOU what to expect: Fantastic food! The menu ranges from interesting sandwiches, to noodle dishes, to stir-fry, to empanadas--the latter of which were sold out. I had the Pan con Chicharron sammich--a generous length of baguette packed with Lego-sized hunks of roast pork, pickled red onions, chimichurri, and their house sauce. It was a super satisfying package of juicy, crispy, porky goodness counter-balanced by the tang of the onions and chimichurri. Wife had a special item, bratwurst with chimichurri and pickled onions. This was not your Wisconsin bratwurst, but is a bratwurst that any Wisconsinite would inhale quickly and then demand seconds. We needed a snack for the puppy (don't judge us!), so we ordered the Papas Deluxe. My god! It was a mountain of fries supporting more hunks of that awesome roasted pork and moistened with a creamy house sauce. That dish alone was enough to feed two adults--and it did. Sorry puppy...una para ti, y dos para mi. Everything we had was really, really good and I am now kicking myself for not taking photos or better notes for this Yelp review--but I'm guessing you sense my enthusiasm and will use your own common sense to give Rocoto a try sooner rather than later. A few final points: they have outdoor seating at clean umbrella covered tables, offer vegan options, accept credit cards, and do not sell alcohol. They do, however, sell an Inka Soda that (to me) tasted like bubble gum. Next time, I'll sneak in my own beer. read more

I don't know exactly where to start here.... With all the other five star reviews, I feel like this place already speaks for itself! Whether you're the kind of person to base a five-star experience on friendly interactions and customer service, or you're the type to ignore flattery and only judge the food, I have a hard time believing you could walk away from this place leaving anything but five stars. If you've come this far into the reviews and are still deciding between this place and another, do yourself a favor and pay this little food truck a visit! The owner claims "if you don't like my food, I will give you your money back twice" so what do you really have to lose? read more

My wife who is Peruvian has wanted this spot for a while so, we decided to go to dinner with 2 of our friends here on Friday. This was the best experience ever. My wife ordered her favorite which was the Lomo Saltado beef dish. First, the beef was cooked perfectly. They did not shy on portions. It was big enough for 2 people. I had the original empanadas and YUCCA frites which is essentially yucca french fries and they are amazing!!! Thick cut, pairs wonderfully with their salsas. Speaking of salsa, if you never experienced the beautiful world of Peruvian Aji (salsa) then get your butt over now and try some. It's the right amount of spice but it's clean and packed with flavors. She sells her salsa by the JAR. I would recommend stalking up on jars everyone I can rave on and on about all of our dishes! It was true Peruvian cooking that the PNW has been missing and needing for quite sometime. Please go and check them out. They are also open in the mornings! Grab yourself an empanada and coffee from them, you won't regret it. read more

I'm so lucky to come across with Rocoto Peruvian Kitchen while visiting Oregon for the first time. This place deserves to keep 5 stars! This is the first place I have came to the same food truck/restaurant for the second time, as a San Franciscan foodie, this place is top notch and you won't find his food anywhere else, I made sure to come back and get his chicharrón sandwich before leaving from Oregon. You can tell how every appetizer and entry meals are made carefully with love, the lomo saltado and the chicharrón melts in your mouth as well as his alfajores cookies, everything is made by the owner. I will recommend you to drink his natural drinks, sadly when I came he didn't have chicha but I will make sure to give it a try when I come back since you can only try this type of drink in South America. I'm sure this place will innovate and expand in the near future, you can smell, taste and see his passion and love in his food. I hope I can see his business around in San Francisco. The owner is the only one working in this place, I admire his hustle and his multitasking skills. read more

Rocoto Peruvian Kitchen - Pan con Chicarron - Food Trucks Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

This place lived up to the reviews. They had sold out of the empanadas but having had the Lomo Saltado and Tallarin Saltado, We will be back! My steak could have been slightly less well done but I'm not taking away stars for it. The flavor profile was phenomenal.. both spicy (but not too) and full of flavor. Their salsa was also super enjoyable. It has a slow burn that sneaks up on you but unlike traditional salsas, less jalapeño and more unique peppers that I've never tasted before. You taste the peppers and spices before the slow burn hits which we all really enjoyed. It tasted fresh, unique, and delicious! Love! read more

The food I've had is excellent, and there are some rare soda beverage options! They give you a pager device to alert you of your food being ready. It is a nice, spacious outdoor area for eating, whether you use one of the tables or sit on the grass. If it's very sunny, there are large trees with shade. read more

I've been coming here almost every week since they opened up, and I am just as impressed everytime. The owners are super kind, so that's always a good place to start. They'll always make sure that you are taken care of, and their cooking is exceptional. They provide plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, which you don't always see at other restaurants. Definitely give Rocoto a shot, you will not be disappointed! *Their coffee is wonderful too if you're a coffee person :)* read more

Finally got a chance to stop by here and I'm very glad I did! My food was fresh and delicious, and it stayed hot the whole walk home. Everything was really tasty and the portions are great too.

They say that good things come to those who wait, this is no further from the truth when eating at Rocoto. The lomo saltado and the sándwiches are a must have to anyone trying Peruvian food for the first time.

We ordered the Mushroom Arroz Chaufa, Chimichurri Fries, and Tallarin Saltado. It was phenomenal. All the food was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to the right temperature. Meat was tender, noodles were al dente and portion sizes were plenty to share. We have eaten at other Peruvian restaurants and this one is by far the best we have had. read more

I was out in Portland visiting my brother with my boyfriend. I am used to eating homemade Peruvian food from my boyfriends family. My boyfriend and I were craving Peruvian since we were away from home, we searched for Peruvian and this was by far the best rated place. We drove out almost an hour to try this... We fell in love. WOW. The flavor, the tenderness of the steak, the noodles in the Tallarines, the juicy tomatoes in the Lomo Saltado. Perfection. 10/10 would recommend and I'm definitely going back when I go back to Oregon. read more

The chimichurri fries were amazing. The churros were god tier. The sides surprised me more than the main dishes tbh.

I first heard about Rocoto's through the "Ecuadorians in Oregon" facebook group that I'm a part of! I'm on the eastside, and I just so happened to be on the westside, so I figured this was my chance to give them a try! The menu provided some of my favorite Peruvian dishes Lomo Saltado & Chaufa and I like that some of them are Vegan as well! I ordered the Ecuadorian BBQ featured dish by Menestras El Naño and the flavors took me back to my Tia's house in Guayaquil. It has been really hard to find Ecuadorian food in the PNW. Thankful to Rocoto for inviting El Naño over to showcase his talents! I was even able to buy a small jar of the Aji Verde to take home! I am definitely coming back for more! Gracias! read more

Food truck in Tigard with Peruvian food. Everything is great! Large portions. Savory but not overly spicy.

YOU WILL NOT REGRET EATING HERE ITS AMAZING!!!! THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST PERUVIAN FOOD IN ALL OF PORTLAND. I have ate at this place 5 days in a row and I can't even explain how good this food really is. When you go ask for Nelson make sure he is cooking your food. He takes his time and prepares hands down the best food you'll probably eat in all of Portland!!! read more
