Tacos el Guero

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!!!

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.

This food truck…read moreis located in a food cart area with a ton of carts around so there's ample seating and a variety of options if you're coming with a group. The line ended up being pretty long around 3pm on a Saturday (they close at 3:30pm) and between ordering and getting our food, we waited about 30 min. I did really like the sando though. The scotch egg was nicely fried and crispy on the outside with a soft gyoza stuffing filling. My only wish is that it was a bit easier to eat and that it had more seasoning as the gyoza filling was a bit bland and the egg smaller than I thought it was be. But overall pretty tasty and definitely worth trying. I'll have to come back and try their OG Tokyo Nando sandwich.

The burrito was a little smaller than I expected, but still a solid portion. The chips weren't my favorite--they almost tasted like wontons--but paired with the salsa and food, they were still worth it. The salsa definitely tasted homemade, which I loved. 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.

Service~Great! I was greeted immediately w/ smile and, it was few people behind me in line and, a few waiting. I let the owner know I haven't been here before he didn't rush me but, asked "what I liked". I told him "I wanted the birra tacos" he said "it's a special today" w/ it being it's Taco Tuesday!!! I said I'll take 5 to go. I asked him about the drinks he said told me which one he likes. I chose the cucumber (I love cucumbers) but, I'll definitely try the passion fruit and mango he recommended next time!!! He said "ok I'll will be 3-5 minutes" I said "20" he said no "3-5 minutes"! It was ready in 3 minutes!!! Yes it will definitely be a next time!!! I felt the portion were great for the sizes of the double tortillas and, I'll be going on Tuesdays for now on (when I am craving it)! I can honestly say the flavors are still lingering on my tongue!!! Ambiance~it's really nice food truck w/covered clean seating (it's about 5-6 large tables, picnic seating, with rolls of paper towels (you're going to need them)! I decided to eat my meal there and, that was the best decision after I took those 5 down I ordered another 5 to go!!! Parking~ it's a lot it's another business in the lot but, it was plenty of parking! It's located on a business street but, very calm driving and foot traffic! I would highly recommend you giving Birriera PDX a try if you want good tacos and great service!!!
