Carlandia Reviews

Lots of amazing food options. There is something for everyone and the prices are good for the amount and quality of food you get. Highly recommend it.

If you can't decide what to eat, and can find parking here, the variety is incredible. I love that its pet friendly too

I have to say my favorite cart is poco India. I like there bacon balls and how nice the person who makes the food is.

Big area to eat with ample parking. Would like a little more variety to the carts as there was a lot of Asian and Mexican food carts here. Something a little more unique in the food line up would be nice.

I enjoy Cartlandia because of the variety of food options at one location. You should definitely take the time to walk around and see what options are available at the time of your visit.

Some things to keep in mind:
Be sure to bring cash since many of the food trucks don't accept cards or there are additional fees.
It will take a good amount of time to get through the line to order and get your food at several trucks (they're not necessarily fast foods).
It will cost you more than eating at a fast food restaurant.

I've been here several times and even when it's been ridiculously busy I've been able to find parking and a place to sit and eat with very little effort (there are seating options indoor, outdoor, and even a "beer garden").

We ate at Koi truck and it was fantastic!!! We also stopped at Crepes plus for a beverage and the 2 young men there were so friendly and helpful to some out-of-towners looking for something to do in Portland for the day.

Wide variety of vendors, all food can be brought into the bar building which has live music in the evenings.

I'm bummed. We were here on a Saturday early evening and a lot of places were closed. I was looking forward to Rock House Grill and their big ass burgers, but they were closed. We walked around, but ended up leaving and going to Foster Burger.

Great place, even in the pouring rain! A little expensive, but ok.secure sights?

The Best Taste of India is fantastic! It's in the back and well worth it.

The entire place was nice & clean, plenty of parking, and everyone was practicing social distancing. A very good veriety of food from different cultures. And the food was really good

Let me just say: Mac' n' cheese burger. Crazy and excellent... the cheese is tangy and sets off the burger in a fabulously goofy greasy way. No, I probably shouldn't have them daily, and I do need to make my way through all the carts, but I need another of those burgers.
I miss Jane's 'London Pasty Company' cart, and the little Russian food one that was near the back for a while, but I have enjoyed every visit to Cartlandia... there's variety enough now to keep everyone strategizing about 'Well, I want this, but can I have a bite of yours?'

My favorite places to go here are we are baked Which have the best cookies around, and good and evil wrap, the food their is amazing!!

I've only eaten a few carts but they have a large enough selection that anyone can find something satisfying! Fun spot!

Mexican brother express is the best mexican food!! The bar has good drinks and food as well. Theres other food cart that are good too!!!

There are some good gems buried in this east side rough!

Always a good experience. Bring cash. Try the food from El Salvador. Or the hotdog stand. Or the Voodoo doughnuts. Or, Or, or... have I made my point?

Red brick house gets my vote for excellence...
?their greaseball for $10

I live just a few blocks from Cartlandia, so I have been here quite a few times. They have a really diverse selection of foods, my favorite so far is cheese steak nirvana. It's incredible. About 10 bucks for a big sandwich though. But still, it's worth it.

Best food carts in town. Free parking and tables to sit and eat at. It can get busy, bit worth the waite. Best Pad Thai in town.

Food I ate was mediocre at best... carts seem like a SCAM... same price to eat outside when I could be inside. Booooo... :(

Lots of food carts, great stuff. There's parking in the middle of the square, we went around 7PM and were still able to find a spot on a Friday.

Down to earth atmosphere, no frills good eats.

I can personally recommend Ms. T's chicken and catfish stand. We had both and it's really tasty food! They're very friendly.

My favorite carts on the east side. Great options. Good location. Parking can be a bit if a pain but it's worth it.

It's a pretty cool place to grab a bite. There seems to be a good selection of food, and I didn't notice any redundancy. My son goes there often.

Ms. T's catfish fry was tasty and fast. I'd recommend it.

Great food with large portions at reasonable prices. Seemed to be plenty of outdoor seating available when I was there.

Went to La Camel (Moroccan food) and got the lamb sandwich. It was amazing! I loved it and the service too. It would be a great place to try out

Went to Mizu Ramen because I heard it was the best in the city, and they did not disappoint! I got a large helping of delicious ramen for a reasonable price. Ramen fans should definitely check them out! And please feel free to tell everyone I said they're amazing!

Great carts. Mac and cheese burger, pupusas, Indian fusion tacos. They should shut down the through traffic access, people don't understand how to park rather than driving through all the carts.

The food is decent (hit or miss experience, as you'd expect), the bar is cool a lot of the cart owners are nice - but beware, you get a decent number of sheltered happy valley types here and they ultimately define the ambience - these are the types of people that believe everything should be formed in the image of their liking (read reviews complaining about homeless people in the general area to see what I mean). Vegetarian options are present but limited.

If you want an authentic food cart experience, go downtown. If you want to pretend you're "roughing it" while avoiding any of that, this is the place to go.

Love Cartlandia. Something for everyone there, no matter your tastes. Wonderful place for international cuisine.

Everything here is awesome.... Best Taste of India, The Burger Place, Boba place, Shawarma place, and the place that sells California burritos!!!! This is our go to every week for our 1 night out!!!!

The food was very good, and the people were very polite. I will be going back again soon.

Go to the back of the lot. Second-best Indian food in Portland is there: The Best Taste of India. A lot of the more uncommon cultural cuisines are found back there as well.

An example is the Middle Eastern cart. Normally Middle Eastern carts are good and satisfying, but not memorable. This place is different, and definitely worth a try.

Also try Chop-Chop; amazing Singapore noodles.

Been here for many years , I enjoy the variety of ethnic food

Had my first sushi burrito I had the double dragon delicious filling and at the right price. Cartlandia is a collection of food trucks serving Asian, Mexican, Indian, southern (U.S.),and Arabic street food . Sheltered seating, huge selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages mostly adequate parking enjoy!!!

An extensive cart pod with the best burrito cart I've seen!

This place. If you've not been, you gotta go. They've got everything to entice the tastebuds! From ramen to shawarma, you need to try them all! The blue room bar is the spot too! Amazing drinks, solid well and can eat inside!

So good to eat fantastic Beef soup and very friendly

Delicious. Wide variety of food carts from Mexican to Indian to Indian Mexican fusion. Plenty of space to sit, indoor bar and bathroom. Plus, there is a voodoo donut truck - you can't go wrong.

There aren't enough words for how much I enjoy this spot. Can't decide what to eat? Let's go to Cartlandia! When my qp and I can't agree on food, this is the safest bet. Delicious carts, great service, wonderful people.

A diverse place with very rich food and very affordable prices

This is by far the best food cart section of Portland. We went to several and this one had by far the better carts.

Always love the food carts. This area had a bar that is next to the carts and allows the cart food inside. A good selection of carts, drive in possible but a little cramped, bike racks.

Lots of options of food. Large servings at inexpensive prices with customer service.

All the food was great, and the vendor's are very nice

I love this place, so many options its hard to choose one, everything I've try is delicious, big portions and cheap prices.

The place to go when in a group and cant decide what to get. Mostly Asian fusion carts are opened late. There was a large Mexican cart and a Ooh Pasta cart that had the crowd on a Monday night. We went for the ooh Pasta cart and it did not disappoint at all. Cool little area for sure. Especially for those who are out of town.

Ate at 4DubGrub, the food was excellent and the staff was very friendly and quick. Would definitely go there again!!!!

Always a blast visiting the food pods at Cartlandia!

We are huge fans of the tacos at Brother Express taqueria and I especially enjoy boba tea at Boba blastic. Good and Evil Wraps is also a great choice if youd like something healthier.

Parking can be tricky so be flexible if you drive here.

A great place to eat with a variety of choices!!

Cartlandia is a very large food cart pod, just off of 82nd Ave. All sorts of international style food are represented here, including Salvadorian Pupusas, Bubble Tea, Mexican food, specialty burgers, Vietnamese and other Asian styles, and more.

This is handy for cyclists, as it is quite close to the Spring Water Bike trail. TriMet #73 bus passes by there very frequently -- about every 10 minutes. Wheelchairs could easily get around inside Cartlandia's large lot. Parking is somewhat limited long adjacent side street.

Gyros & street tacos some of the best ive had in portland you have to try it..

A fun variety of restaurants! Everyone got something they liked!

The quality of the few carts we tried was very good but I did not enjoy the set up of carts. There were too many hidden in corners and I felt unsafe at times with the cars driving through the walking areas. Even through there were a bunch of carts I would love to try I probably wouldn't go back based on the set up unfortunately.

A wide variety of food carts that all have their own unique taste. Best part is that you can pull up, park in the lot and sit under the tent and enjoy your meal. It's a perfect spot to grab a quick bite and have a bite from every corner of the Earth

I love the diversity! so many different foods to choose from!
