50 Best Food Trucks near Gladstone

“My boyfriend & I order take out from here at least once a week & it never gets old. The prices are cheap for what you get. The selections of meat are good & not chewy. Drenching the meat & mac n cheese in the spicy red sauce is a must. We order the bulgogi beef, the chicken bowl, & a side of mac every time. The owner is a really cool guy that always has a huge smile on his face. The seating area is covered & pretty large for a food cart. 10/10 recommend“

“Since they're situated at a gas station, I can't give them full marks for "atmosphere," but they do the best they can. however, the food and service were both outstanding. This food is really, really good. Will definitely put in our regular take-out rotation.Dietary restrictions: One gluten-free and dairy-free eater here, and they accommodated the DF without issue. Delicious!“

“They catered my event and I was absolutely blown away by the exceptional service and delicious food by Sheesh Shawarma! They truly went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and the food was hands down some of the best I've had in a while. I'll definitely be returning for more, and I can't wait to spread the word to all my friends. Highly recommend!“

“I loved the atmosphere they created. They even went as far as to decorate the bathrooms with the same aesthetic. The mood setting was lovely, from the overhead lights to the mini tableside lamps, to the comfortable booths and chairs, the leather-bound menus, as well as the waiters kindness and amicableness. The 3 plates we ordered to share were perfect and quite delightful! Compliments to the prep cooks and chefs! I wouldn't change anything.The Mezza Platter Sampler was a perfect appetizer, my personal favorite was the Baba Gannouj. I loved the creamyness and slight tang that it had. But they were all a great try! We had it along with the Queen's Karak (hot saffron milk tea) and it was a perfect tummy warmer along with the freshness of the platter. It was quite aromatic and earthy and creamy all at the same time. Make sure to continuously stir, as it's hot and the spices fall to the bottom, making a delightful tongue punch to end the cup with.The "friday special" Lamb Shank Mandi was an absolutely delicious main entrée, with it's smoked lamb shank, aromatic rice, spiced and spicy dipping sauce and their vegestable stew. All the flavors mixed so perfectly together and filled us up quite nicely.We ended our lovely night in this cozy, beautiful atmosphere with a Date Cake & Ice Cream dessert. The nuts on top were a perfect flavor and crunch alongside the creamy, vanilla carmel ice cream, and the date cake underneath was a perfect pair to the rest of the dessert. Be careful ordering one; you'll get addicted and want more. I did, but unfortunately I was too full of the rest of the yummylicious Saudi Arabian food to get another. (Don't take the stick out of the ice cream, just eat around it carefully. It keeps the ice cream on top of the cake perfectly; no details forgotten.)Vegetarian options: There is one vegetarian appetizer that I saw and one vegan main entrée that I saw. The flavors and aromatics are to die for, so try it once, and if it's not the best, at least you tried it.Dietary restrictions: Dietary Restrictions? Bring your eating pants; everything is worth it and delicious.Parking: Free street parking after a certain point of time in the night; might have to walk a couple of blocks.Paid street parking during the day. If you can order and consume everything in under 2 hours, might be your best choice financially as the lots and garages are pretty pricey. Otherwise you can always move your vehicle and pay for another 2 hours on a different street.Paid lots and garages are scattered about along the streets. Current pricing is $6.00 first hour and $14.00 all day to my knowledge. Could change as years progress.Kid-friendliness: Well-behaved kids at this establishment... Not meant for the rowdy bunch. If you know, you know.Wheelchair accessibility: Completely wheelchair accessible; all on the first floor.“

“Michael and Bibi have made a FANTASTIC experience. Stop in, try a sample, you will not be disappointed.We had the chickpea and potato, and salfish bacalhaus, along with the chicken and potato on rice. All of it was amazing. I want to explore the whole menu now. If you're into spicy get their hot sauce for sure.Then take all your food and enjoy Fracture Brewing: they allow outside food in, have a ton of great beer on tap, along with ciders and a full bar! Space is inside and out. Wonderful!“

“What a gem! We don't eat vegan exclusively but have egg and dairy allergies so getting burgers with cheese and ranch and shakes was awesome! The buddy stix (mozzarella) were not bad but the Paddy's Melt and Newport Nightmare were both great and the Smashed to pieces shake was so good we came back another time just for more shakes! This place is located inside Swan Dive and did not have a sign outside (as they moved recently to the kitchen inside).“

“This food is amazing. It is obvious the chef cares deeply about the food he prepares. The prices are more than reasonable, especially considering the size of plates. The value of money spent for product you get can not be beat anywhere. I'll always recommend this place first for catering or grabbing some lunch. 5 star for real!!!“

“The best food truck in Portland! The food is soooo good and the owners are so kind and friendly. If you haven't tried Burmese tea leaf salad before this is the place to do it!Dietary restrictions: I have many food allergies/intolerances and they were very accommodating.“

“Loved the little food cart and the overall atmosphere in the food cart pod. The Scotch Egg Sando sandwich looked impressive but ultimately the deep fried egg did not deliver on flavor (or texture). The bread was also very plain and didn't taste like shokupan.Overall, we loved the concept and menu and would come again to try a more traditional sando!“

“If you've never had Kenyan food, you need it in your life. If you don't normally like vegan food, you should give it a try... it had no right being as amazing as it was.Vegetarian options: It's all vegan. It's all incredible.“

“Ordered the Ropa Veija. It had the BEST flavor, and the meat was so tender. The black beans were delicious I have never had black beans that delicious before!!! Also ordered Tostones and the green sauce that came with it was sooooooo amazing. Is a little expensive but worth every penny.“

“I went to the food cart location and saw they now have gone brick and mortar. How exciting!! I had their street tacos and some Birria Consomé. Sooo super yummy!!There was plenty of parking and it is wheelchair accessible. The place looks clean. Hands down, these are the best street tacos I've ever had!“

“No photo can reflect how amazing this Smash Burger truly is. Fresh ingredients, made to perfection. I’ve come to this cart over a dozen times since it has opened, and quality has stayed consistent every time. The $15 order comes with fries, which is a great deal for the amount of food you get. Best smash burger in Portland by far!!This cart is located at Heist, which has a bar and various other food carts if you want to mix and match!“

“Great low-key atmosphere, rain or shine! Family and dog friendly. Tons of outdoor seating, dozens of brews on tap, and several food truck options. We opted for brews and 1/4 slices of Ranch Pizza's pepperoni pizza and breadsticks. Everything hit the spot, staff were kind and helpful, and on a Friday night there was live music on the patio. We'll certainly be back!“

“best food i've eaten in ages. not only were the empanadas some of the best i've ever eaten, the price was great ($8 for 3 big empanadas), and the service couldn't have been more friendly. thank you. this meal may have turned me into a “

“Literally can't not tell you how amazing this place is. Not only are they the KINDEST humans, but the food was beyond incredible. I was craving shrimp, and it was not on the regular menu since it's a random special. Surprisingly, he said he had some and would make it for me. We had the lollipop garlic noodles which were DELICIOUS, tofu, the fried chicken, and shrimp garlic noodles. They were so accommodating. We will be back 1 million percent.“

“My son had the Spicy Gochujang fried chicken and I had the snow cheese fried chicken. The food was good. All the chicken is double fried which makes it nice and super crispy. The snow cheese was sweet kind of like a parmesan cheese coating. It was good but I found it to be a little too much coating. I think I would have enjoyed it more had it been a little less of a coating but that's my own personal thought. My son really liked the Spicy Gochujang fried chicken. I thought it was going to be real spicy and I tried some of the sauce and it was really good and not overly spicy. He also got the kimchi macaroni and cheese which he enjoyed. All came with a side of pickled daikon radishes that were absolutely fantastic.Each came with three wings that were bone in and huge! I was really surprised at how large the wings were. Overall we would definitely go back again.You can also get your food and go into the tap House that it's connected to to have a beer or order a beer and bring it out to the food court! Fun little atmosphere and fantastic customer service!“

“Comfort food at its finest. Guys working there are super chill and set us up with all their sauces. We took some time deciding what we wanted because all of it sounded so good. My brother got the trifecta combo and my husband and I each got the chicken sandwich. My only complaint is that the sandwiches were a little hard to pick up and eat just because they were so loaded. Don't let the website pictures fool you - these portions are huge (and the prices very affordable). My husband and I could have easily split one sandwich but instead have leftovers for tomorrow. :) everything just pairs well together. The menu has been well thought-out and I think we need to come back to try more!“

“The best Mexican food cart by far. I always get tacos and they've never let me down. Super quick and delicious every time. The man running the cart is always very nice and sometimes gives me extra food. This is always my go-to when I'm craving Mexican food.“

“Really friendly and great customer service! Got the brunch burger and it did not disappoint. Perfect burger for when you can’t decide what you want has everything you could need eggs bacon and hash browns! If you are in the area I would suggest checking it out!“

“My new favorite food spot! Great food and people. Every menu item I’ve tried so far has been amazing, can’t wait to try the rest of the menu! Highly recommend the whitefish sandwich and wash it down with an egg cream. Lovely spot for weekend brunch as well.“

“Hot damn, the meatballs are UNREAL. So fresh and incredible flavor. First time at this food truck and the portions are HUGE, the pasta was so fresh, and seating patio was perfect even in the winter in Oregon! Heated and covered! 10/10 and the owner was so kind and provided the best most welcoming service. This was our first time and was such a hidden surprise!“

“We live near the French Quarter food cart pod and Taco Express is a cart that we frequent every time we come (and that's often)! The kids love the breakfast burrito, their tacos are delicious, and seriously the fries are the best of anywhere in the Village! Friendly service and convenient hours. Love this place!“

“The Hotate or Sea Scallop sushi with yuzu pepper marmalade was out this world good. We also ordered the Guac N' Roll & French Quarter Roll. Excellent flavors. We didn't even need soy sauce. The Guac N' Roll has a unique presentation and the roll was balance & on point. I will recommend Yoshi to anyone interested in sushi!“

“I just arrived in Portland and was looking for good halal food. By luck came across this place thru Uber eats. Ordered kabali pilau and chapal kebabs. Hands down best food I have tasted in months. Taste was unbelievable as well as it was all fresh. In my book both restaurant and owners deserve 5 stars for the quality of the food.“

“I am by no means a Vegan. In fact if there is an afterlife I am sure I will have many many furry faces waiting for me for my crimes of rampant meat consumption. So setting that as the starting off point I eat the vegan bowl here like two or three times a week. This girl is an absolute wok goddess. I have no idea how she manages to cook every single piece of vegetables in her stir frys without ever making a single piece go limp. I have a deep and abiding childhood hatred of cauliflower. It is marrow deep to the point of irrational dislike on my end. Yet when that vile weed appears at random in her stir fry I am not only okay with it, but thoroughly enjoy the dish. Even her rice is several steps ahead of the competition. The curried Garbonzo beans are simply perfect. The fresh diced cucumber and carrot makes the perfect crunchy contrast with the amazing rice and curried legumes. The fresh lime juice makes her dishes flirt with sweetness while still being savory. If your tired of the same old boring grease soaked fries and cheese slathered mediocre slabs of low grade meat check out this cart. The flavors are both well seasoned yet not over powering. She has a chefs touch to be sure. Plus my heart I am sure prefers the fare far more than another artery clogging mass of American failure cuisine.“

“We like to be safe and warm during the cold rainy days. Coffee is god's bitter apology for everything else. We all want to see a familiar face at the end of a long journey. A knight without a kingdom fights for the one who can understand him. A soldier in peacetime fights the battle in his mind. we are hard shelled on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. When you drop your ice cream on the ground, mother says you can have another one, yet you still cry, fearing the day when there will not be another ice cream, another weekend, a familiar face, a just ruler. The Big City with a Small Town charm. Soft clouds, soft lighting. You can sleep in. All is forgiven. Breakfast goes till 2PMGet the double stack, it will not be too much.“

“Randomly decided to stop here while walking my dog and am sooo glad I did! I chose the house curry, pot stickers and spring rolls, everything was delicious and flavorful. Plenty of food for two people.The customer service was exceptional, a true joy. Highly recommended.“

“Nested in a nice food park, Saint Burrito has delicious burritos and friendly service. Ordered carnitas which was flavorful and had a slight crunchy texture from the searing. ? I also ordered the harbanero salsa but thought it would be a bit more spicy as a good middle ground of the choices. ALTHOUGH!, the salsa has a fantastic authentic roasted texture and color which I absolutely love. Will be returning.“

“The tacos are really tasty (though I have only had the al pastor and chicken), I imagine the others are good as well. The Keto tacos are unique being a fired cheese shell, and are really good. The guacumole is chucky and plentiful both on the side or with their tasty nachos. The Mexican fried rice is a combination Spanish rice and Asian fried rice, very different and good. The burrito takes 2 hands to hold, it is big, also flavorful. I highly recommend eating here, I do at least once a week. The owners are also really nice people!“

“Awesome food!! The owner was also SO friendly and kind, she greeted me with a huge smile. The food portions are quite generous and delicious! The kimchi is also super bubbly and fresh I couldn’t get enough. The prices are also the best I saw among all the others. For the quality, amount of food and super friendly owner I can definitely recommend this place and will definitely be back!! 맛있어요!“

“I don’t know how authentically Turkish their offerings are, but their döner salads are a cut above salads at other halal carts. You get generous amounts of yogurt dressing, pickles, and olives. They used to include other pickled vege but no longer. Still an excellent halal cart salad. Other offerings are very solid, tho the falafel is a bit blander than other places. The salad is great tho.“

“I just returned from a month in Colombia and the empanadas at this cart are better than any that I had in the whole country. Mind you I tried everything on their menu basically, the yucca fries, the plantain they have empanadas with beef and potato and the patacone with cheese, along with a couple of juices.Their patacone was delicious and the perfect line between crispy and soft. These were always a gamble in Colombia. Sometimes they would be so crunchy. Your teeth were hurt and other times they would be undercooked. This cart gets it perfect. I love it with just the cheese. It's simple and super delicious.I would definitely order that again, but the real stand out to me was the empanadas. They were perfectly lightly crisp, not greasy at all, and the filling was very well seasoned and flavored. It's also hard to find gluten-free empanadas anywhere else besides Colombian food so I love that. The ladies that were working, the cart were great and very helpful. The Arepas were pretty good with well seasoned meat, but I'm definitely more of a fan of Venezuelan Arepas with a lot of stuffing.Only change or feedback I request is to get rid of the lettuce on the items, and one day add Arepas de Chocolo with cheese to the menu because they haunt my dreams since I left--one week ago. Very authentic, try it you haven't visited Colombia or if you have!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“I can't believe it took me so long to try Joe Daddy's. I live in northern Montana and we come down to visit family often. We finally made it out to Damascus today and we were not disappointed. The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was outstanding. I would make the 500+ mile trip just to get some more. I ordered the double with bacon and onion rings, my wife got a single with curly fries, and my kiddo got a milkshake and fries. All of it was delicious and beyond expectations. I can't wait to come back!!“

“I miss this place so much, I remember going here during the end of the year of 2023, Fofo said that she would be closing :( I went to check it out on the way out of Portland and her food cart is no more. Her food was absolutely amazing. I am yet to find a place that could top her hummus and tzaziki. Absolutely unmatched and her kafta plate was amazing. And on top of that she was very nice and had a great sense of humor I miss fofo“

“A food truck with mighty flavors in their tacos! This was featured in netflix so it was a must stop to check out during our portland trip. It's located in Hinterland Bar& food Carts. The truck is at the end of the row, near their version of indoor/outdoor seating..The covered outdoor seating has heat lamps. The dining areaWas nice and cozy during the day. The seating area have a fair amount of seating, self-serve water, and a modest shelter from the wind and rain..I ordered the chopped brisket tacos which consist of brisket and guacamole. The brisket was the epitome of juicy. The tortilla were soft and warm. The brisket flavors together was savory delicious. It's safe to say my tastebuds were seredipity! The size of the tacos are surprisingly deceiving as they leave you feeling a healthy full..I also got the smoked turkey taco with guacamole and it was pleasing to the presentation. The turkey taco had good chunks of white turkey meat. The taco was refreshing too. I wouldn't have thought about smoked turkey tacos as my second choice but it was great to experience something different. It's great being adventurous sStreet parking since it's near a residential area. The server whohanded me my food was nice. The ordering process was a breeze as you order on atablet located at the front of the truck and they text you when your order is ready. Matt'sBBQ Tacos is a revisit when I am craving a snack at the food trucks and l'm looking forward to trying out other creations. Hope this review is helpful and thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day.“

“Ribeye tacos!!! Mouth watering, so good.... I ate the whole plate.. no left overs for husband.. we will be returning again, and again, and again, and again... then we went shopping for clothes at MORBS clothes next door. This place rocks!! I can't wait to try the steak tacos... ? and then the panini!!“

“I always get the same thing when I find a place and a dish I love. This last visit to Sherpa Kitchen at The Zed food hall, the talented chef and proprietor Mingma, suggested I try the Chili Chicken w/ rice dish instead of my usual, and I went for it, medium spice. OMGoodness, so good! Thanks, Mingma! Then, I got a small bowl of the Dal to add to the dish, feeling adventurous. I loved this combination... love. So glad I branched out, or was told to branch out. ;) If you already know you like these kinds of things, you will likely be blown away. And if you aren’t sure… you may also be blown away. :) Plus, the proprietor and his staff are amazingly kind and you won't be sorry for ordering and supporting the business. If you have not yet been to The Zed (formerly Zoiglehaus) in SE Portland, then you should go. And if you have not been in a couple of years, you are in for a really uplifting surprise. This is a real community gathering place. Sincere thanks to The Zed and all of the amazingly dedicated folks who help keep it going! Ps- I may not go back to the chicken fried rice for a bit, but it is some of the best fried rice around, and basmati, so cool.“

“BEST vegan tacos and vegan burritos I've had in the city!!! The tortillas for the tacos were the best tortillas I've ever had in my whole life and I've eaten a lot of Mexican food. The habanero salsa is a spice lover's dream come true. Can't wait to go back. What an absolute gem.“

“Moore Food is my favorite thing to eat in all of Portland and I simply will not eat a cheesesteak anywhere else. Once I found this true to taste Philly Cheesesteak, which is the closest thing I can find to actual Philly Cheesesteaks I have been a fan ever since. The front end staff knows me and my family and is always friendly, hell I have even got the owner/cook to soften up at times. When my family visits from California this is the only thing they must eat every visit.“

“Love this local spot! They use the best chai (Dragonfly) and have both spicy and sweet options - or ask them to mix it like I do for the perfect balance. Great vibe, amazing baristas who have turned my day around several times, delicious gluten free treat options. Plus they support the local community in so many ways and have handmade gifts for sale as well!“

“Senyo by Ramen Ippo is the best ramen in Portland. Dice is absolutely amazing at what he does.His tan tan is incredibly well balanced. The broth is almost creamy, yet so smooth. Very satisfying on a cold, wet day.Their garden ramen is fresh, healthy. We get it a little spicy (level 3 out of 5).Go early so you can get one of his amazing eggs!Six stars out of five!“

“How I heard of this place: Visiting Portland, friends suggested Persian Kabab as the best in the city. It was out of the way last time, but we made it be on our way this time. Type of cuisine: Persian food in a Southwest food cart! Ambiance: It's a food cart, so less to write about, as it faces the street, along with about a dozen other carts serving Mediterranean, Mexican, Japanese and other meal options. The cart is pink with a sketched drawing of the proprietor, who looks just like the drawing! What I ordered: We selected a mixed combo (joojeh & Loo idea kababs) with rice and BBQ tomatoes (additional $1 each). The two meals were served in a foil container "to keep it hot" (a nice, thoughtful touch), with fresh basil, and spicy red onion on the side. What I loved: the joojeh (chicken breast) kabab was juicy, fresh and perfectly seasoned. The rice was flaky and lightly greasy, which we loved. BBQ tomatoes can't be missed! Why I loved it: Friendly proprietor, delicious food, and a pink-painted cart! Cost: Average“

“You know how you usually think of tamales as dry and generally lacking flavor? NOT this place!!! I've had their mole and their verde chicken tamales, and both are tender, moist, and PACKED full of flavor. I can't say enough good things about this food cart. The home made tortillas they use for their tacos are probably one of the best things I've put into my mouth and their al pastor was juicy, flavorful, and delicious. The lady working the food cart was amazing, gave me a complementary taste of their hibiscus agua fresca, and encouraged me to take a load off in their cute little outdoor space. Do yourself a favor and stop by, you won't regret it!!“

“The tacos are amazing. I ordered asada, pollo , lengua and tripe tacos. The lengua were my favorite but all of them were amazing. i had some green and red sauce on the side and normally I don't like the red sauce much and prefer the green but the red sauce has the perfect heat and it's slightly smoky with good flavor. As long as they keep this quality I won't go anywhere else for a taco again.“

“Best pizza in PDX. Great, fast service. Lots of seating. Covered fireplace seating. Picnic tables. Heated transparent tent.One star off for atmosphere: Often have to request water cups and getting the heat turned on in the text. But that said, there's always alcohol spray and paper towels on the tent tables. And they are generally super clean. As is the whole pod area.This is a tasty, comfortable regular haunt. Plus it's close to other eats & hangs. A keeper.Dietary restrictions: Has a no nightshade pizza on the menu.“

“This place is my go-to late night. They're so friendly, remember who you are, and their food is so good and the perfect spice that my partner and I crave. So easy to call and order and pick up. Especially love the pad kee mao and egg rolls.“

“I’m not sure if Jane is the owner but was very nice. There are two tablets to order on and it was super nice to have a sink to wash your hands not within the bathroom. The pricing was a little expensive but the food was delicious. I enjoyed a single hamburger, fries and even the chicken strips. The flavors really hit the spot! Ava loved the chocolate shake and she was even given quite a few unicorn stickers which made her day.“

“Hands down the best wraps iv ever had. My entire family loves this place. My husband and I had our first date here five years ago, we love coming here every time we are in the area!!!! Our kids love it as well, we get the pepper jack stake wrap we can not get enough of this place. Customer service is very delightful and kind, we always enjoy ourselves every single time we go!!!“

“My GOODNESS!We came here after my TV dad, Phil Rosenthal, recommended it (Somebody Feed Phil) and it did NOT disappoint. Sometimes I get nervous about places being hyped up but my friends, this place deserves the hype! We ordered the rolls, rockfish sliders, funeral potatoes (pretty sure they are named that because I want to be buried with them?), pork chop and cookie and everything was absolutely fire. This place really highlights the ingredients in a way that makes them all shine.Ok, I will stop gushing over this place… but you’ll get it when you go.“
