Poblano Pepper PDX — Restaurant in Portland

TLDR; Shudder... Blech

This truck is part of a food truck pod. I tried a few other things from other trucks and wanted to try a taco from this place. I walked up and ordered a taco. The guy repeated my order back but increased my order from one taco to two. I repeated that I only wanted one taco. He looked at me like I had two heads. He paused for a few seconds and said that the minimum order for credit card was $5 and that I had to get two tacos. I whipped out cash and you could see him physically deflate. He reluctantly took the order, giving me cold looks the whole time, then said it would be 10 minutes. I acknowledged it, and stepped back from the window, wanting to be close so I can hear when my food was ready. A minute later he yelled at me saying "I said 10 minutes". At this point I went and sat down at a table within sight of the window. I kept catching the guy staring at me. The whole thing made me feel uncomfortable and a little angry.

After all of this, the taco had no salsa, was dry, overcooked, and flavorless. The only slightly redeeming factor was that the tortilla freshly made.

I want to love it, I truly do, but until ya’ll start picking over your carnitas better, I’m out. Like pregnancy pain, I forget and think “mmmm carnitas”, until I get it and chomp into a giant pile of fat. I am aware that cut of pork has a great amount of fat on it, yum yum that’s where the flavor comes from, but YA’LL - don’t leave all of the fat in there and serve it like it’s meat, because meat it ain’t....
