I don't want to take any stars away, but I'd noticed recently a more sporadic schedule of operation down here. For the past couple months I'd drive by and some days they were supposed to be open they weren't...or sometimes they were.
Turns out they have closed this cart and are attempting to sell it while they get their actual restaurant in order. I found out most of this via their twitter page. Word on the restaurant is that it will be around 12th and Division and should open after the New Years because of holiday delays with final inspections.
I'll miss the convince of this cart, but I can't wait for the restaurant to open!1 Previous Review: Show all »

This place is amazing. For some reason I've only been once - but seriously - I have never been to or heard of another place like this. Completely vegan yet delicious Mexican food run by real Mexican people. I got the Mulita and my friend got the soyrizo burrito. Usually I think that fake meat stuff doesn't taste very good with Mexican food but the soyrizo was amazing. Great refried beans. The vegan cheeze even tasted good. Authentic real-tasting Mexican comfort food. I am getting hungry just thinking about. Very good deal too. Enough food for two meals for about $5.
Why haven't I been back???
Also, wonderful people working. -

¡AY-QUE RICO! Super-delicious, totally vegan taqueria-style food cart with
huge portions, FYH cheeze, soyrizo & friendly staff. We shared the massive burrito and mulita - both were copious portions and amazingly good (esp. The mulita). The hot red salsa was mediocre (really heavy on the canned garlic), but their mild tomatillo (green) salsa was excellent.
Highly recommended. -

For those of you who want Dairy, THIS IS A VEGAN FOOD CART! go somewhere crappy like Muchas Gracias. Seriously. This place is Great!
I don't know anyone who doesn't like this cart. It's always a special treat to come here on a work break, or have that special someone stop at my work with a Fajita Burrito and Ramekins full of their delicious red sauce.
I definitely couldn't eat here several times a week, but it is a wonderful treat every now and again. Plus, the owners are sweet, honest people I would support any day. -

So good! All-vegan and all delicious. Has a handful of things the Gorditos I cart doesn't have, like empenadas, with either soyrizo or tofu (sometimes they only have one or the other), but they've also implimented the latest and greatest in soy technology "soy curls." They have these at Food Fight! vegan grocery too. Soy curls are good, they have sort of the texture of chicken, a lot like seitan for you vegans out there, but without the puffy-skin feeling all that gluten gives you.
I have trouble sometimes at mexican restaurants because mi espanol no es bueno, pero they certainly speak enough english to take my order with perfect accuracy.
I only gave it a four star rating because its a cart, so in portland's sassy-ass weather, there isn't much in the way of comfortable seating-space.
Remember to bring your own container so you don't have to use toxic plastic. -

Wow. Gone are the days when I complained that I couldn't find amazing Mexican food north of San Francisco! This cart is Mexi-heaven to me. Never a worry that maybe the beans and rice are "really" veg, and the staff are super sweet. Try the mulita or the soyrizo tacos. You will not be disappointed.

Incredibly salty, very messy, and an unfortunate lack of dairy options (sorry vegans - when it comes to Mexican food, this is a legit gripe). I've been going here once a week for the past couple months, trying different things almost every time, but I think I've about given up. Which is too bad; they're nice folks, and there aren't many decent lunch options around these parts.

The food is sooooo good. Yum yum yum. I wish they had a few picnic tables with umbrellas.
