Food carts in downtown Portland are a great source of inexpensive food. Inexpensive and good food. You can get Indian, Thai, Peruvian, Czech, Mexican, Pasta and more at these tiny food stands. Knowing where to go to find the food you desire can be tough, even if you work downtown. Correction, it was tough. Thanks to Audrey Eschright it is now easy to find a cart with the food of your desire. She maintains a great map of central Portland food carts. You can filter the map to show only, say, vegetarian or coffee carts. Her food cart map is based on Google’s hybrid map mode so you can zoom in and out for the view that’s best for you. At some levels landmarks, like the Galleria, are identified to make finding the cart of your appetite easier. You’ll need to zoom in to the closest view for some locations because there are so many carts.
I never ate at the Peruvian, Bosnian or Polish carts. Wish I still worked downtown! If I did I’d be heading over to Tabor (at Stark and Fifth) for lunch today.
