3 dollars for something they could get at a taqueria for about half the price.


I still pay a dollar at most taqueria's. Too many places that charge a dollar for them to charge more.

lol.....yeah, I won't pay those prices. I know how to make them and do every now and then. If I was stuck paying that I would always be making them.

You should have gone the meal deal route: two tacos, chips and salsa + drink for $7.50.

While i think it is a little overpriced, it is good food that I'll buy when I see it (which isn't often).

I believe the one on that picture is the asian taco.

If they provided 3 tacos instead of 2 for the same price I would give them another shot since the tacos are good. Or at least make the 6 dollar burrito the size of a typical burrito that price instead of the size you find in a TV dinner.

Maybe, I saw the corn and it threw me off. That might just be a rogue kernal.

I've only eaten there 2, 3 times max and never had the burrito. If I go again I'll make sure to avoid it, thanks.

What? Tacos?


If I had a vertical broiler I would never have to go to a seedy taqueria again. But alas, it's hard to make al pastor at home and I don't always have 3-4 hours to cook lengua.

If they are good tacos, I'd pay 2 bucks for them maybe, just because typically what I order isn't always convenient to cook at home.

But 3 dollars a taco for just fajita is crazy.

It's prob been 6 or 7 weeks. They're online menu says $7.50, but I guess it's possible they haven't updated it. It fills me up enough for lunch and better than paying the same price for a burger and fries from McDonald's.

It's an ok treat for me, I don't eat it enough to get caught up in the price. Would I look for them more if it 75 cents less per taco? Prob not. My wife usually cooks lunch/dinner for me so I rarely eat FF, food truck, etc.

I ate it once, thought the taco was deicious, but like others have said WAY overpriced. I left hungry.


This is how I feel. Give me 3 tacos at that price, and I'd be OK with it.

Was just downtown BR and got the fish and chips from the red colored one off of north 3rd street. Cant remember the name. Fish and chips was only $5, and right tasty!

Hmm havent seen on with fish and chips yet.. Was this maybe Allstar? They have a menu that seems to vary. I had crawfish ravioli and crab cake from them one week which was pretty good. That was an $10-11 but was a good bit of food.

I don't see a red one here other than Ninja Snoballs. Although Salivation Station isn't pictured but they are mainly wraps anyway.

I know Allstar has a friar because I remember Opie talking about frying pickles on the truck.

Allstar seems to be a new truck I have only seen it once. I swear the dude that works it must have worked the line at Copelands or something though because the crawfish ravioli and crab cake I had just seemed to be done up the same way Copelands does it.

Seemed like the menu was a good bit of fried stuff. I stopped looking when i got to the fish and chips part of the menu (and the $5)

I don't know but in my experience with food trucks, which is a lot. I would bring cash, it's more than likely reasonable. Not sure what the going rates are down there but I won't pay more than a dollar per taco.


Why are you trying to answer his question in a way that turns this thread into the Portland food trucks and your own personal food truck preferences thread? Self centered much bro?
