The 18 Best Food Carts In Portland 2024

"One dish we’d nominate to represent the Pacific Northwest are jojos. Nobody does the thick-cut, deep-fried, and battered potato wedges better than this SE Powell food cart (they have a sit-down restaurant in the Pearl District). They’re not relegated to just a side here, though, as you can get them loaded with cheese and one of their ten different sauces (go with the jojo sauce, a blend of Duke’s mayo and ketchup). Despite the cart’s name, they also make a standout spicy chicken sandwich with pepper relish, honey, and alabama white mustard sauce that puts Popeye’s to shame." - krista garcia
