Which food trucks are popular among Portland locals?
You have to try these few!
Fried Egg I'm in Love
This food truck that only sells egg sandwiches in Pioneer Square is a favorite of the people of Portland, and Fried Egg has its unique charm.
Bread slices baked in butter to crispy and soft, wrapped in soft and tender omelettes, served with sweet fried onions, fresh tomatoes, soft and waxy avocados, and served with fragrant cheese slices. This taste bites the mouth It is indeed one of the best, one of my favorite breakfasts in Portland. During the small holiday, I have a lazy sleep and get up to eat an omelette sandwich, as if I am happy to heaven!
It's only open until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. If you want a quick taste, you can count on the time.
Matt's BBQ
Matt's BBQ is the recognized "handle" in Portland's Texas barbecue food truck. With its unique seasoning and precise heat, it has captured the appetite of many Portland fans.Whether it's a beef brisket or a small pork chop, it will be tender on the outside and tender in one bite, so that carnivores like Xiaobian can get infinite satisfaction.
In fact, their beef ribs are the most outstanding work. When it comes out of the oven, you can see that it is thick and soft, and it has a crispy and chewy layer. One bite is full of oil, unlimited enjoyment.They also serve Mexican pancakes, which can roll up the meat to give the teeth another experience.
Stretch the Noodle
A noodle cart from Shaanxi that combines China and the United States. The aunt is responsible for the noodles and the uncle is responsible for ordering and seasoning. They only sell five single items, which are so popular.
The cold chicken noodles are very vigorous, and the spiciness of the medium spicy is enough. If you are not a Lianjiazi, please be careful about the heavy spicy.
The oily noodles are bright red and sweet, which is a bit more gentle than the sharpness of cold noodles.Generally speaking, it is already very happy to be able to eat such reliable Chinese noodles in a street food truck in a foreign country.
His family’s noodles are very large. Girls recommend that two people share a bowl, and the boy will definitely be able to eat one serving.It only opens until three o'clock in the afternoon. Orders between meals. They usually line up and move slowly. If you want to try, it is recommended to leave the itinerary in advance.
Farmer and Beast
This is a classic food truck that combines Portland's local seasonal produce with burgers.
The agricultural and sideline products produced in different seasons each year make up his colorful menu: strawberries, lettuce and cucumber in spring; grapefruit, peas and goat cheese in summer, and eat it in one bite, fresh as if the whole season has been bitten into your mouth. .
So, what is the taste of autumn in Portland?A little long holiday is waiting for you to taste!
Drunken Noodle
This is a food truck selling Thai street food. The editor was originally not interested, but after a gastrointestinal resistance, he was shocked.It is not that there are any clever ideas in the taste, but the ultimate order among the five tastes-balance.
A bowl of Pad Thai, a dish that can be found in almost every Thai restaurant, the sweet and spicy sauce, the crispy peanuts, the sour fragrance of lime, including the soft elasticity of the noodles, every taste is just right.I also recommend his curry powder, The Evil Prince, which is also very delicious. I highly recommend trying this Thai food cart while waiting for the pancakes!
Matta
Looking at the green color of the burger, you know that it is absolutely extraordinary! Matta is a food truck opened by Vietnamese, widely loved by the people of Portland.
The spices used in the Vietnamese cuisine it offers are lively and bold, full of exotic flavors, the shrimp is grilled to be crisp and tender, the ribs are cooked properly, and the pandan donuts have a slightly lower sweetness, which is suitable for Asian tastes. It is a dessert not to be missed!

JoJo
The JoJo dining car used their Chicken Melt Sandwich to capture the masses of Portland, and it was their boneless fried chicken legs that captured the editor.
The whole chicken leg is crispy, tender, and chewy, gently torn apart by the lines, and there is still soup oozing from the meat!If it is served with mayonnaise and lettuce bread, how can I miss McDonald's chicken drumsticks to the point of lovesickness!
His various burgers and sandwiches are also plain and delicious. Paired with the beer sold at the window of the John's Marketplace food cart area, it is also a solid and delicious meal!
The most important thing in Portland is the unique flavor
Top restaurants, French cuisine, Southeast Asian flavors plus Russian cuisine,
You can choose what you want to eat!
Le Pigeon
Le Pigeon is a relatively small restaurant. There is only a bar table surrounded by the operating table for a week. The chef is recognized as one of the top French chefs in the United States. You can eat here and enjoy the food while watching the chefs.

Langbaan is a small, very private Thai-style restaurant. "Langbaan" means behind the house.This restaurant is opened inside the Thai restaurant Paadee, which is a restaurant in the restaurant.Only 24 chefs’ menu items are served every night, giving guests an elegant and complete dining experience.
I had an experience a few years ago and I was particularly impressed.The ingredients of the chef's dishes are more common, but they can produce exotic flavors. It is completely different from any combination of delicious or Chinese food, with a trace of mystery, and it is hard to imagine the taste before the entrance.
Among them, the coconut milk scallops are rich and tender, giving people an unexpected surprise; the pork blood soup powder is fresh and sweet, without any peculiar smell; the final ice cream is refreshing and greasy, easily dissolving the extremely heavy taste of the entire menu after eating it. .

Kachka
Russian cuisine is not as popular as French cuisine and Italian cuisine in the world. It is even more difficult to get an authentic Russian cuisine, but if you come to Portland, you can get what you want. Kachka is a restaurant in Portland that serves traditional Russian food. The decoration style of the shop is very small in Russia. There are also many Russian-style furnishings and accessories. It is a treasure restaurant that the editor has kept for a long time.
The caviar in the store is the main dish, you can try it with confidence, without stepping on thunder; "herring in leather" is my favorite, with seven layers of flavor and seven layers of texture, crispy and dense, salty and fresh and slightly sweet, it is among Russian dishes. Outstanding.
In addition, the "Rabbit in a Pottery Pot" in the main dish is plump and delicious, mixed with the freshness of mushrooms, the sourness of cherries, and the fragrance of rabbit legs. It is worth a try.
There are also two-color brown bread with coarse salt and shallots. You can also experience the poverty and helplessness of Gorky's "in the world" style at the time, and cherish the good life now!You can try other dishes too, so you won’t step on thunder!
As one of the pioneers of traditional Russian cuisine in the United States, Kachka has super high-level dishes. It follows the old-fashioned Belarusian diet and provides the most original Russian flavor. It is a restaurant in Portland that is worth trying.

Watching the goblet hovering up and down in the hands of the little brother of the barista, the hand holding the bottle of wine and coffee raised above the head, the flames are burning from blue to red, this cup of Spanish coffee is considered to be the essence of drinking.
Looking at the handsome little brother barista, the aroma of Spanish coffee drank the taste of tiramisu. I really wanted to shout to the little brother and take me away! (Forgive the nympho of single dogs)
