Taco Food Carts in Portland

If you love tacos, Portland’s the perfect place to be — taco food carts offer this perennial favorite at great prices, in every style you can crave, all across the city.

One of the cornerstones of food cart history remains among the most popular options today — and the most delicious: The mighty taco truck is flourishing in Portland, with options in every quadrant and well over 100 food trucks serving tacos across the city. Some stalwart carts have been perfecting their recipes for decades, like Taqueria Antojitos Yucatecos, which serves up Yucatecan tacos on freshly handmade tortillas, and Taqueria Lindo Michoacan, which specializes in tasty street tacos featuring fresh local ingredients. Other mobile taquerias have emerged in recent years and already made their mark: Taqueria Quintonil is a Jalisco-style cart offering a tempting array of top-notch tacos (be sure to try the birria and the camarón). Mole Mole is a family-run operation specializing in the namesake mole, but don’t sleep on the tacos — order the pollo con mole taco or the soy curl mole taco to get the best of both worlds.

The abundance of food carts offering tacos in Portland means if you can dream up a twist on the traditional taco, someone’s probably serving it. Looking for the perfect marriage of tacos with slow-cooked, tender barbecue? Check out Matt’s BBQ Tacos. Craving a Korean take? Get to Korean Twist pronto. If you’re looking for vegetarian or vegan options, the Portland taco truck scene has you covered: CoKiea’s Kitchen, Habanero Burrito and Azul Tequila Taqueria, among others, offer plant-based fare that’s sure to satisfy.
