Food Carts Portland

Location: SW 3rd and Ash St
Description:
One of those days.  You wander and you wander by 10, then 20, then 30 different food carts and nothing strikes your fancy.  You just about to grab something you know will be good, but it isn’t what you’re craving when you decided to walk another two blocks. Those two [...]

Location: SW 9th and Alder (on Alder)
Description:
Sometimes, even during spring and summer, I want a nice warm soup. It has something to do with that feeling of your whole body warming up from the inside out. Add spice to the soup and I’m in heaven. In downtown, I have made an attempt to seek [...]

Location: SW Stark, just south of 5th ave.
Description: I wander down to the 5th avenue pod almost daily for lunch and when I saw that a certain gyros cart had moved, I began to wonder what would go in its place. For a couple of weeks, the spot was unused without indication of whom would [...]

Over the past month, I have had the pleasure of meeting a new friend, JohntheKiwi. Interestingly enough, he’s been friends with another buddy of mine for years and I am now just meeting him. Small world. John is also an avid food cart lover and at the beginning of June, he set out on a [...]

Now for the news:
Jr Ambassadors Summer Concert Series. Music and Ice Cream. Tonight (Friday, June 12), Jr Ambassadors [...]

Location: 13732 McLoughlin Blvd – Milwaukie, Oregon
Description: If you ever find yourself zipping down McLoughlin in Milwaukie and have a sudden hankering for a cheap, delicious food cart taco, there’s hope – it’s called Maria’s Taco Cart.
It’s a welcome site for many reasons, mostly because it offers some decent Mexican food for hungry eaters that [...]

Location: SW 4th and Burnside; SW 6th and College; PGE Park and all over the city
Description: Koi Fusion burst on the scene a month or so ago on Twitter. By the time they had their “soft opening,” there were lines 30 people deep. Now that is marketing. Koi Fusion’s ace in the hole is that [...]

VendrTV, a webisode production that travels America checking out local street food is in town this week filming.  I met Dan Delaney and his crew yesterday just after they finished up with Ziba’s Pitas and Spella Cafe up off SW 10th and Alder.  This isn’t your typical “hey, check out this food cart” type of [...]
