    Shredded chicken quesadilla
    Cheri A.

    So good! I got the chicken quesadilla and a plain churro. My husband got a carnitas, chicken, pastor and asada tacos and said they were great too! Service was nice and food was quick. There is a separate truck for alcohol so we also got a chelada. The food cart is located in a food truck area with nice outdoor seating that has shade. Overall great, would definitely recommend.

    Nothing like a great torta on locally made bread. As I've stated before, 82nd is the place to find some really good stuff if you know where to look. I randomly passed by this area and found a small food pod. Cuban food, Korean and Rosita's. All were great options but I needed to move quickly for an appointment so I figured the torta would be the quickest. Carne Asada was my choice. They didn't have too many meat choice, but it is a food cart. All the standard veggies were on the sandwich. Avocado, onions, tomato, jalapenos, but surprisingly no beans. Believe me the food was good, but I was looking for some frijoles to add an extra layer. The sandwich was a good size and the habanero sauce I got with it wasn't too hot but had some good flavor to it. I'd easily stop back here soon, but I know I'd also like to try the other spots in the group of carts as well. Enjoy.

    CREME filled and warm for $1.50!

    Another hidden gem. I can't count how many different breakfast burritos/sandwiches I've tried, the version here is one of the better. I suggest skipping the ham at any Mexican hole-in-the wall or cart as it's usually of very low quality. Their orange sauce is hot, but not overbearing, just right for the breakfast burrito. The refried beans were perfect, get that black bean stuff away from me. The star of the show were the warm, creme-filled Churros for $1.50. Nice owners who run it, a bit on the slow side.

    5. Wet Burrito

    Unfortunately they no longer have Chile rellenos, but I got a carnitas burrito with ranchero sauce and the flavor was fantastic, enough for two meals as well.

    Yes!!!!!! All you need to know is YES!!!!!!! Street tacos al pastor. Really good, and the perfect late breakfast (sort of lunch at this point).

    Had an amazing taco salad here. One of things I've noticed in everything I have ordered from here, is the freshness of the ingredients and also very distinct delicious flavors. So many mexican carts are good, but don't really stand out to you. This definitely stands out and is worth the trip!! I also on another visit ordered the taquitos and I pictured just plain old taquitos, but they came with fresh salsa made right there and were not just bland. My point here is, definitely stop here - delicious and the owners are great!

    Tuesday: Chimichanga special
    Huong D.

    We came here because of all the hype reviews. The quality was really great and it was made with the freshest ingredient and all but I was actually disappointed in the food. The food was bland. The grilled chicken was not seasoned or something as it did not really taste authentic and same goes for the asada. The carne asada had a really strong peppery taste, mainly the pepper overpowered the rest of the taste of the asada and other seasonings. Im not sure how they do chimichangas here or was it just badly made because it was a Tuesday special. I saw picture of it on yelp looking extra crunchy but mine came pretty soggy and soft (even thought it was a take out, it was like 5 minutes from my house). The inside was alright nothing that jump out. It tasted straight up like a bean burrito with cheese it wasn't that great with all the ooze supposedly beans? The three additional side was superb though! Salsa, sour cream and delicious guacamole. I was looking forward to the asada fries but mine was really dry. I thought it suppose to have cheese sauce in it? Mine didn't come with cheese sauce just shredded cheese, asada, sour cream and a freshly made salsa on top. Some pieces of french fry were over fried so it was extra crispy and crunchy. All in all maybe we came in the wrong time? But it wasn't that great compared to the copious amount of Mexican food carts on 82nd stripe. But I'll have to say they use fresh ingredients, clean environment, fresh to order. The additional sour cream, salsa and guacamole on the side to accompany the chimichanga was a nice touch to showcase their fresh ingredients. Maybe I will try other menu items next time.

    Wow is this food absurdly delicious. I'm so full after half a quesadilla that I feel like I ordered too much food. The carne asada fries are perfect for a group. My wife got the chimichanga and is loving it.

    The Thai food here is impeccable, and it might be my new favorite food cart in Portland! I had the…read morepad see ew and also got to try their fried chicken with yellow curry and rice. Both were fantastic! It was very flavorful and well spiced, with the perfect amount of salt and aromatics. The chicken is extremely soft, and the noodles are fresh and properly chewy. The Thai iced tea was very sweet even for my taste, but I still enjoyed it and expect it would be more refreshing if the weather wasn't so cold as it is now. The wait time was maybe 15 minutes, which isn't bad at all, and the cashier was very cheerful and pleasant. The food cart is in the back of a fairly vacant lot, so there's not much to comment on when it comes to ambiance. Overall, it's an excellent choice for takeout that I recommend enthusiastically, and I hope I get to try more of their food next time I'm in the area. :-]

Unfortunately, I came away pretty disappointed. Everything except the pork belly was actually really good. The rice had a good texture and separate grains. The fried egg was crispy and had a nice runny yolk. The cucumbers had a nice thickness and crunch to them (could been colder though). The prik nam pla (fish sauce, chiles, maybe a little lime?) was really great -- something about the flavor really popped for me and was tasty. And everything was served hot and fresh. But the pork belly sucked, and that kinda ruined the dish for me. The fatty parts weren't melt-in-your-mouth at all. They were just chewy. The skin wasn't crispy, it also was chewy. The meaty parts weren't juicy at all, they were tough. I dunno, everything about it seemed wrong. And getting the pork belly right seems like a crucial part of the overall dish. After eating maybe 1/3 of the pieces of pork belly, hoping each time that the bad pieces were just outliers, I gave up and just pushed the rest of them to the side while I ate the rest of the dish. Oh well.

Perfect to balance out the sweetness. The quiche is substantial enough to share, though I admit, I could have demolished the whole thing.

They also have other breakfast-y & dessert options including egg & biscuit sandwiches and waffles, and coffee beverages. And they have frozen quiches you can take & re-heat at home. It's a cute little cafe, and the lady working was very sweet & helpful.
