Portland food carts

One thing I really love about Portland is the food carts. There are clusters of food carts all over the city, mostly in parking lots. It's the ultimate cheap comfort food. But it's no less gourmet. Here's a photo of the cluster on 5th and Stark. What it doesn't capture is the irresistible aroma of a mix of all the food there.

We were looking forward to trying out "Built to Grill", an Italian food cart serves mostly pasta dishes. It's widely loved by many people in Portland. But we found out it wasn't open today when we got there. So we walked over to Tabor, a Czech food cart a few blocks away. I have eaten at Tabor once before. But we wanted to try a couple different things today.

We got the Schnitzelwich and Bohemian Goulash, and watched the owner prepare the food in his little kitchen.

Schnitzelwich: Breaded pork loin in a Ciabatta roll with lettuce, paprika spread, sautéed onion and horseradish

Bohemian Goulash: pork stew served with traditional dumplings

The Goulash was very aromatic with fennel seeds and fresh herbs. Perfect for a snowy day like today. The horseradish adds a strong kick to the breaded pork loin in schitzelwich. The texture was just perfect.
Everything is under $7 at Tabor.
