Guidebook for Portland
Food Scene
Go for happy hour! The line seems long but generally moves quickly and the food is worth it. Divided into $2 and $3 categories, two diners can easily piece together a meal from just a half-dozen of the restaurant’s 20 small plates. It's my favorite restaurant in Portland!
My personal HH recommendations: Chicken salad (so big for $3!), coconut prawns, and garlic string beans... a full meal for $7. My favorite (non-alcoholic) drink CA PHE COLA ($4) or order the daily HH cocktail for $6, HH beer special for $4.
This guide is intended for general information only, please check with the restaurant for current hours and protocol.

Located at the Cartlandia food cart pod a mere few blocks from the house, Taqueria Brother Express may be my favorite Mexican food EVER -- huge $6 burritos, overflowing $1.25 tacos, and a variety of giant tortas for CHEAP! From savory carnitas to moist white-meat rotisserie chicken, the meats offered are a cut above many other Mexican places. Simple yet delicious.

A nice assortment of food trucks from different central and south American cultures, very close to the house. We're not talking about typical burritos here. Authentic and amazing. Even better, you can take your food inside to the Barro bar and enjoy local beer and wine. Several trucks have vegan and vegetarian options.

Featured in national news and on Portlandia! Currently a herd of 14 named for their original Belmont Ave location in the heart of southeast Portland, the goats were originally 'hired' in 2010 to maintain a lot that has since been developed into apartments and retail. A true Portland experience! Once right here in the Lents neighborhood, the Belmont Goats (and Juniper the hen!) have recently relocated to:
Carey Blvd Greenway
6631 N Syracuse St
Portland OR 97203
According to the herd's guardians:
"You always can visit the herd through the fence, but you can come inside during scheduled public visiting hours. Please read our rules on your way in. Do not park on N Syracuse; park on N Macrum or take public transit."
