"Rocket Empire Machine is another successful variation on the food hall brewpub. Almost due north from Mount Tabor, this food hall offers indoor and outdoor seating, with dynamic food options including a second location of the Mercado’s popular Oaxacan cart Tierra del Sol, the rare Portland combo of sushi and Burmese curries at Sea and River Sushi, and extraordinary lamb and beef stews and spongy injera of Mia’s African Kitchen, all enhanced with house-made spicy sauces. From morning until evening, the Pie Spot is open to fulfill coffee fixes and pie cravings." - Nathan Williams
