The Hottest New Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland, November 2024

"This new fish taco cart in the Nob Hill pod specializes in the seafood dishes found in Baja California. Crispy, batter-fried sturgeon — mimicking the angel shark tacos spotted in Ensenada — arrives topped with cabbage, pico, pickled onions, crema, and chipotle mayo, plus a choice of cart-made salsas for a touch of heat. The highlight, however, is a Sinaloan dish, tacos gobernador: A crisp, quesadilla-like taco filled with saucy tomatoes and poblano peppers, queso Chihuahua, and juicy, plump shrimp. The octopus “al pastor,” served with a cool avocado mousse and nutty salsa macha, is another strong contender." - Eater Staff
