Worth the wait. Be patient! The bacon-wrapped Sonoran Dog was by far the best dog I’ve had from PDX to SEA. The jalapeño and tomato garnish tasted ‘just-picked’ fresh and the bread was unbelievably melt-in-mouth magic. Thank you to food industry workers! You make the world a wonderful place. Nice little patio in the back, pricing is very good for the quality. Make sure to stop at Carter & Rose next door for some amazing ceramic and plant selections

I absolutely loved my steak sandwhich I had last night! The sandwhich was not only stuffed, but it was filled with the perfect proportion of meat to vegetables. I appreciated how it had a lot of flavor but not overwhelming to the point where it takes away from that classic cheese steak flavor! I also wanted to mention it was filled with steak bits and not the usual shredded type of steak which I thought was neat and made the sandwhich feel a “level above.” I hadn’t eaten all day so I was able to finish my sandwich, but its definitely a reasonable “meal” for $16, and I felt full but not bloated afterwards! Great food, cooked and handled with care and precision 😊 I will be back!

You could say this review is biased because I work on Division. You could also say I'm qualified to write this review based on the sheer number of Sonoran hot dogs & Gringas I've consumed since they opened. As the daughter of Mexican nationals, my standards for Mexican food, or Mexican-fusion are quite high. I am often disappointed by Portland's take on Mexican which lacks the flavor & depth achieved through traditional techniques. Most of the go-to places in the area cater towards an American palate, and I am often left wanting to call mi mamá for some comida casera (home cooking). !Chayo! is different. With a nod at his Jalisco roots, the owner creates some of the most savory Mexican bites I've had in PDX. My current favorite: the Ay Chihuahua hot dog. Similar to the bacon-wrapped So

Everything is super clean, the food is incredibly tasty, the food looks beautiful like in an expensive restaurant, high quality containers, and napkins! The best food truck I have ever seen in Portland! I recommend visiting. If I am hungry, I will go to this place.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wowow, I got a tinga sandwich and it was delicious! Soft bread, tasty chicken. Light but filling. I'm so happy to be able go walk to such good Mexican food. This rivals the Guero torta, as one of the best I've had in Portland.
