It's a good food cart to grab some quick food when in the area. They are usually the ones that have longer operating hours than the other carts in the area. We stopped by and shared a chorizo quesadilla while waiting for our other stuff. The flavor of the chorizo was on point, and the quesadilla did its job. The person working there was friendly and quick to prepare our food.

Excellent choice for Mexican food at this great food cart pod I'm SE Portland. Fast and friendly service too with plenty of covered seating and a great little indoor bar where you can enjoy a beverage with your meal. I will be back to try more items from their menu. Someone I was sitting next to said the torta was very good so that's next on my list!

Los Plebes is part of the Lil' America food cart pod. The food was very good and there was a wide range of choices for both food and beverages. The prices are appropriate for the quality and amount of food. The only downside to my experience was the wait time. I, foolishly, didn't consider that I was ordering on Cinco de Mayo. The pod was busy but I vastly underestimated how many people had ordered specifically from Los Plebes. While this was mostly my fault, I would have appreciated a warning about the potential for a long wait. Otherwise great experience and would happily return. (But maybe only during off hours if it's Cinco de Mayo)

Chorizo empanada ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - recommended by cashier. Omg. May be my favorite empanada in Portland. - light. Crispy. A little oily, so I felt a bit guilty but it was perfect. - a good size! About the size of a small hand. - topped with sour cream, lettuce and tomato, may have not been necessary and made it definitely not a hand food. - the chorizo was a good call, it was so comforting. - the cheese inside. Wow. Great cheese pull. Horchata ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - loved this. Wasn't overly sweet. - had a hint of cinnamon, wasn't overwhelming
