Downtown Taco Truck La Piñata Takos Has Closed Temporarily After a Fire | Eater Portland

"An under-the-radar downtown food cart I go to, La Piñata Takos on SW 3rd (108 SW 3rd Avenue), has temporarily stopped serving after a fire on the morning of April 27 that left the Mexican food cart charred; the owners say it will be out of commission for four to six weeks. A sign posted on the cart’s window reassures customers—"Everyone is okay"—and states, "We will be closed until further notice." Portland Fire & Rescue Lieutenant Rich Chatman said the fire likely started because someone left the stove on. The cart is a favorite lunch spot for downtown employees, known for $1.50 fish tacos and late weekend hours (it often stays open until 3 a.m.), and the sign points fans to Facebook for updates, though the cart’s phone number, (503) 943-9725, might be a better bet." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
