I recently had the pleasure of dining at this amazing Mexican food cart, and I have to say, it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the service was outstanding - the staff were friendly, attentive, and eager to help me navigate the menu. Speaking of the menu, it was filled with a wide selection of authentic Mexican cuisine that made it difficult to choose just one dish. I ended up ordering tacos and the pozole, and let me tell you, they were absolutely delicious. The flavors were bold and authentic, and each bite was a burst of Mexican goodness. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and truly satisfying. Not to mention, the portion sizes were generous and left me feeling completely satisfied. What really impressed me was the quick service. Despite the large crowd, my order was prepared and served in a timely manner, allowing me to enjoy my meal without any unnecessary delays. The efficiency of the staff was truly commendable, and it added to the overall pleasant dining experience. I am already looking forward to my next visit to this food cart. With such great food, service, and atmosphere, it's no surprise that I am eager to try more items from their menu. I highly recommend this Mexican food cart to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic dining experience. 5 stars all the way!

This is the 2nd time I've come to Prost and order a burrito from Mole Mole. Both times. The quality and taste of the burrito has been ridiculously great. The burrito is huge, but so much flavor. Honestly, came to prost for beer, but leaving full with such a great meal will keep me coming back.

We got the super bowl w/birria and the carne asada plate. Both were excellent! I especially loved the great variety of vegetables in the super bowl, which were perfectly cooked. We’ll be back! Also we appreciate that they cut down on plastic waste by serving food with reusable plates and utensils.

This Mexican food truck has amazing food with some of the best prices around Portland, especially for Prost/Mississippi area. The Burritos are $10 and huge. Almost all the tacos are only $3.50 and they have so much flavor and are loaded with meat. If you are looking for great tacos in Portland I highly recommend stopping here. I got the Mole, Pastor, Tinga Pollo, and carnitas. All of them were exceptionally flavorful and large. When you eat in at the food truck pod you actually get real silverware and plates which makes the experience nicer.

Birria Enchilada plate is the best Mexican food I’ve had in Oregon by far. Coming from a CA native. Service is always friendly. They have everything you could ever want on the menu. I love that they give you real, colorful plates despite being a food truck (please don’t ever change that). Also, margaritas at the bar are usually $10 or less.

Went to this location and had great service, definitely made me want to return. Unlike the Alberta location, these folks actually appreciate your business here. Clearly marked vegan options on the menu make this place awesome. The vegan soyrizo burrito is yummy and big enough to split. Warning- a couple dogs were allowed off leash in the dining area and caused some aggressive barking and the owners were totally oblivious. I wouldn’t bring my dogs here.
