A New Portland Pop-Up Is Recreating Food From Ancient Rome | Eater Portland

"A food-cart pod returning to the same lot on SE Foster Road and 52nd Avenue after the previous iteration (Carts on Foster) closed in 2023; it is reopening under new ownership, has room for 20 carts, and will include a covered stage for music, stand-up, and other performances (Bridgetown Bites reports)." - Harry Cheadle

I was here on a beautiful Saturday evening, there was live music and the place was hoppin’ ! Lots of kids dancing to a great duo, trumpet and tuba playing fun music. It was pretty busy but thankfully there is plenty of seating and a wide variety of great carts. I ate at Jumbo Burger, ordered the avocado and jalapeño burger/fries combo. The burger was great, I’d call it ‘substantial’ - make sure you get extra napkins, you’ll need them! The fries actually outshined the amazing burger, crinkle cut, crispy perfection. I wish I took a picture but I was completely distracted with my dinner.. i did remember to snap a picture before I left, I was a beautiful night.

Foster Food Carts they just did open a couple weeks ago very nice place with a lot of room I heard more updates coming. We went with my family this week and we had the fish and chips and also Mexican food, both of them were delicious. They do have sitting area with covered area and heaters as well. For sure, we will be back.

MumboGumbo_PDX did it again! I will drive the hour here for some good gumbo but honestly everything from his food cart is amazing! The shrimp and grits or banana pudding are my other favorites

Love this pod and am so glad they are in the neighborhood. Lots of great carts to choose from. We came on a Saturday evening and there was live music. I ordered the Pad Se Ew from the Thai Style cart and also taro cake. Both were amazing! The owner of the cart is so sweet too. Excited to come back and try some of the other carts.

Nice place, lots of really good carts. Went with my wife and daughter on a saturday night, they had a live band playing and there's a nice play area for the kids in back. Glad to see it's open again! Shout out to the Venezuelan place, really good arepas and aji

Has a cover with heaters. I had never tried food from Ghana before but the food cart called “Vivi Grill” was absolutely delicious. We tried the Beef Stew and Jollof Rice with Beef. Meat was so tender and food was so flavorful!

The Foster Food Carts pod is a great place! There’s plenty of covered seating, it’s very clean, safe, with several food truck options. There’s even a bar with a many options! I happened to stop in on a Saturday afternoon where there was an amazing live jazz band playing! If you’re looking for something to eat and want a nice environment head to Foster Food Carts. Bring your friends and family, lots of seating. Don’t let the weather sway you either, there’s great covered seating!

VIVI GRILL. Healthy Ghanaian food. Waakye dish = a huge meal of choice of protein with large servings of beans + rice, AND a hard boiled egg, AND a small cabbage slaw salad,AND avocado slices. You will not walk away hungry.

When I found out the foster cart pods were making a come back, I shedded a few tears of joy. My best friend organized a Sunday lunch gathering since they lived close by. I parked in my usual spot in the neighborhood and checked out the latest offerings. The only cart I recognized was the egg cart. I was tempted but also wanted to try something new. There is plenty of seating spread out and I loved that. They still serve beer and it's inside a tented area with additional seating. I felt at ease and not claustrophobic like some other pods that have opened recently. The food we had and the service delivered was stellar. I loved what I had and I cannot wait to return, cheers!

This is a soft opening of the food cards. The grand opening is May 17th which is coming up fast. Don't miss it. They have a different variety of food carts, and they are nicely spaced apart. There are also a couple of heated tents that you can sit inside and plenty of tables outside. Parking is not an issue as there is plenty of street parking around the area. We came in a bit late so many of the carts were closed.

They're back and they're even better! Great selection of great good. Great tap-tent with great beer selection. If you are trying to figure out what to eat tonight, come here. You won't be disappointed!
