Portland, OR When most people think of Portland, images of rain, hipsters, and bicycles, the city has actually become quite a food mecca. With over 650 active food trucks in the city limits, a plethora of specialized restaurants, and a major focus on farm to table/sourcing locally, Portland is one of the largest food-tourism destinations in the country. In fact, tourists spend more money on food than any other activity.[1] This coupled with the fact that you can get incredibly high quality meals for quite a low price means that we are serving up a serious amount of grub.

Food Carts

The city is home to over 650 food carts. This number was rapidly growing for quite awhile, but eventually slowed and has hovered at this number for about a year now. Carts offer delicious, gourmet meals at a substantially lower price than restaurants due to reduced operating costs. The problem is that food carts often close or change locations, so finding them can be a bit of a pain. Here are a few of mattdev's personal recommendations.

Greek

Indian

Italian/Pizza

Mexican and Central/South American

Middle Eastern

Thai/Laotian

Vegetarian

Eateries that pride themselves on being totally or at least mostly vegetarian focused go here. While many Indian places could fit as well they should stay in Indian.
