No time to take pictures before biting into it. Delicious. Nelson was so kind to show us that everything is freshly made and unique. Tastes very good, I highly recommend it ! It’s more than just authentic it is tailored one of a kind food. If I could I’d give him 10 stars. Every bite is so good!!

Only reason we drive to downtown Portland; tried the chimichurri fries, median noche, Salchipapas, Maduro frito, menestre. Each plate is full of flavor & the sauce that comes with the media noche is amazing! The owner is very down to earth and knows how to make a bomb sandwich. Great service, great food can’t wait to come back to Portland

Such a great mix of Argentine, Peruvian sandwiches, stir fry and potato dishes with tons of sauce!! He makes his own organic French bread and sources everything with great care. Salut! Lomo Saltado and pan de Chichorron were both fantastic!

Absolutely delicious! El Ñaño parrilladas, small truck, BIG menu! There are many choices to choose from. Their salchipapas and sandwiches are great if you want to grab something small. If you have a big appetite, go for the menestra. It tastes homemade and it brought me back to Ecuador. Recommended place for all!!!

Took a trip to Portland and mapped out the best food places to go to but this hands down was the best place. The customer service is amazing and we were told the owners story and how he came up with his menu of recipes from the places he’s been to. He makes the bread fresh for each sandwich and all the ingredients were very fresh as well. Would 100% come here again

Wow! What a great experience I just had! After spending a year in Portland, I’ve been trying as many food carts as humanly possible. This was easily and by far the best one!

Absolutely delicious! I got El Argentino Vegano and it was just about the perfect sandwich. Made with Impossible meat, it was succulent, flavorful, just a little spicy, and perfectly textured with a little fried-potato crunch on top. The bread was especially good, and the owner told me it is his own recipe made with organic ingredients at the bakery down the way! You can really tell how much passion goes into this truck’s food. I’ll be back!

This is one of the most slept on food carts in Portland… 10/10. You can’t go wrong with the El Ñaño sandwich, it’s incredible. The steak, fried egg and sweet fried platano work so well together, and the bread is perfect. I’ll be back asap to try everything else! This is the only spot in Portland that does South American street food the right way, and the owner is the nicest guy. Please go here asap, they deserve your patronage!

This is our absolute favorite food cart for multiple reasons. Reason one, the guy that runs it is super nice and friendly, and we always have a great conversation while he makes our food. Reason two is the food is absolutely amazing. He’s been to multiple different countries and learned different recipes throughout his travels and the food is absolutely worth it.
