the spot is cute. lots of options (vegan included), & there's bathrooms onsite. would recommend

This is a cool spot with something for everyone. I liked that there was both covered and uncovered seating as well as a restroom. My friend and I had poke bowls while my bf had a gyro option. The main bar serving beer was good and I liked that there was a seltzer option. Nothing that we had was out of this world good or unique but it's a cool place to hang out.

Rainy day. Actually, a rainbow day- pouring rain then blue skies. Place was decently hoppin' for a Tuesday lunch. Plenty of dry and comfortable seating. Oh Yum's (new 2nd location)- vegan rice bowl was fresh and delicious. SO good. (Be sure to get a side of the 'hot sauce' which is super flavorful but not HOT- I personally consider this a bonus) The owner/ service was kind, informative and fast. Recommend, recommend, recommend!

Came here on a busy Saturday evening and got some yummy food. We needed up getting a combo of steak and lamb cheese steak sandwich that was super yummy. The cheese was so stretchy and the meat was cooked nicely. Also went to the Asian food cart with the pad Thai shown in picture. Wasn't the best pad Thai but was good. They didn't give a line sadly either. The pad we ew was good but both were not authentic. The place was cute with all the food trucks in the area with shared seating. Music was playing as well from somewhere.

We parked in a nearby lot on SE 11th Ave & SE Madison St ($3/hr) instead of trying to find street parking. It was pouring rain on a Wednesday at 1pm in February and the carts were still open. It wasn't busy at all. There was seating near the fire pit or more seating in the back with heat lamps! We ordered a vegan club from Smaaken Waffle Sandwiches that was very good. It took a while for the order and they didn't give me a buzzer. We also got mac & cheese from Le Bistro Montage Ala Cart. There are 2 bathrooms (no code needed). I was surprised that they were actually pretty clean. Definitely would recommend coming to show friends around.

I really enjoyed this place! Visited my cousins in Portland October 2023 and I saw some mixed reviews for this food truck pod aka: an area with multiple food trucks. The vibe was super fun and chill! It was bustling on a Saturday fall around lunch time. My boyfriend and I ordered from the Burmese food truck and had their noodles (fry) and the coconut soup one. Both were delicious!!!! And our first time trying Burmese food. We also had the fish and chips from the seafood truck in the back. It was pretty popular and I like how you can choose the fish you want: (eg: Cod, Tilapia, etc). Overall, there is plentiful seating and you can park in the very close by lot (paid) or on the street. This was a cool place to try in Portland!

Nice food truck area with plenty of options and outdoor seating. They have a bathroom and it's accommodating. Casual atmosphere and good place for a quick meal or socializing. It looks fenced in like it was a real insane asylum.

My sister and her husband took me here while I was visiting from Arizona. As they said, it's a Portland experience you can't miss. In Arizona we have food truck fairs but they're pretty pathetic. Questionable food safety practices, price gouging, and the temporary nature of the events in a 'here today see if you can find us tomorrow' sort of way makes me pretty leery of the food truck experience. She was right in that this was a totally different experience from what I am used too. The trucks here are more permanent than not, as the location doesn't change every night. There are actual restrooms and shaded places to sit and eat. This was not the sketchy dusty vacant lot location I was used to associating with food trucks. The food was good, and the prices reasonable. There is a variety of food options to choose from and deciding what to try took a bit of doing. My wife will tell you that I just not into food trucks. Won't she be surprised when I tell her I've got to bring her to Portland to try one!

I came here the other day for lunch and this place is amazing. This is one of the food truck pods that is absolutely amazing! They have a ton of different food carts that have a huge variety. You can find literally anything your heart desires. My favorites were the Waffle station and also the Texicano for some amazing street tacos. They have plenty of heated lamps too so don't be shy about coming out in the winter. Although with the wind, I would absolutely bring a coat with you. IG: @QueenOfAdventureNYC

Well well well, we all know this looks like a para military fortress... being in the heart of portland, guess that tracks. I was expecting a junk yard dog to chase me out with a chain saving me at the gate! Its a wild space, portland food carts via waterworld... we were finishing up a round at the minigolf pub down the road, and been meaning to check out new pods, and havent had the excuse to stop and park near here. Lots of seating, covered and heated for most, but keep in mind, its a wind vortex somehow, so its still pretty cold... if you get cold. Id say about a dozen carts, ill review those as individuals. The pod has bad parking, so hopefully youre walking/biking. They have typical 10-18$ priced items (crazy carts are costing what restaurants cost) so pick something that looks extra yumm! That said, the neighborhood has taken a big turn, and probably wont be here for those reasons, the other half doesnt feel safe alot on foot in these areas, and really neither does my car windows. I hope these thrive and slowly turn it back to the Portland I knew and loved, Hawthorne used to be one of my faves!!
