Brooklyn Carreta Bar & Carts

One of Portland‘s latest combined bar/food cart options. This place has more choice of food carts then beer (only 10 different draft beers available). Food options are varied and very high in quality. Air conditioned indoor tables and shaded/sunny outdoor tables are plentiful enough for the rush hours. 15 stools at the bar are also an excellent option.

Such a great reuse of an iconic spot. La careta stood boldly on that corner for so long and was such a great loss when it closed, this has created a wonderful new life for the lot. There are about 10 currently and space.for a couple of more. A super cute game room, Moody's coffee and a nice bar inside. There is a decent amount of parking on site and more available across the street. They have a teeny kids corner and a good number of seating between indoor and out. Excited to see how this space develops.

Lots of choices at this food truck park. From Mediterranean to Cuban to Thai this place has a whole bunch of delicious options to try! The real magic though are in the facilities itself. A great cocktail bar, live music and even some pinball machines this place is a great place to spend some time with your friends. The only downside is there aren’t enough tables but honestly that’s because there are just so many people who love it here. Pro tip1: take a look at the menus and order family style Pro tip2: bring your own chair or blanket to make your own space.

Love this place! Right in the hood! Delicious food, beautiful aesthetic a great bar. Game area with pinball great for families, friends, kids and Ive even seen dogs. Have yet to try Moody’s the coffee spot, but on my list. We first went and got the Nour Thai , Bollywood Dhaba Indian, And Havana Cuban And all raved delicous and great beer. And we went back and just had Bollywood Dhaba again, and it was so good. It’s a must try. So happy theres a place here, as we really miss La Carreta RIP 😢, so its nice to now have Brooklyn Carretta Thanks for making a new fun hang out!

So excited that Namo Buddha has opened a second location at Brooklyn Carreta! I was already a regular at their original Heist spot, and now with this one being much closer to me, getting my favorite vegan momos just got way easier. The quality is just as amazing—flavorful, consistent, and made with care. That delicious tomato sauce still hits every time. Definitely check out their noodle dish too—it’s just as solid.

This place just opened before my visit on 4/4/25 and while they needed to add a few more carts and fill all their taps, it is a beautiful and versatile space that is great for families. The patio is about half covered half uncovered but it’s all open air and they have huge heaters hanging from the covered part for when it’s cold. The inside is also spacious and airy. Cool little arcade and some games for the kids makes this place a must-visit.

Just what this corner needed! I visited during the grand opening weekend and was so impressed with the design, layout (the space feels HUGE) and incredible selection of food carts. They have a well-stocked bar with friendly bartenders, coffee shop (I arrived too late in the day to try it, unfortunately), and two different play areas for kids. I tried the Korean cart and the dumplings were delicious. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the carts.

I ate at Milwaukie Cafe and Bollywood Dhaba (pictured are the small Cafe Potatoes, Biscuit with Sausage, cheese and jam, Mango Lassi, Garlic Naan, and Butter Chicken). Each meal ended up around $15 and was plenty filling for a meal! Really enjoyed both places. The Carreta has plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor (both covered and uncovered). There's a small kids area with a connect 4, pretend kitchen. Even though it's right next to 99, the sound is pretty isolated and you're able to easily have a conversation and listen to the music on the overhead speakers.
