Grill On The Go Portland

There's a lot of really good mediterranean food in Portland, and a lot of good mediterranean food trucks at that. I imagine it must be very difficult to stand out from the rest, but this one does just that. I was looking to pick up lunch for a Saturday office conference of about 11 people with a fair amount of vegetarians. I wanted to pick up something that everyone would be happy with, so I gave Grill on the Go a call. They put together a fantastic spread with pita, falafel, stuffed grape leaves, hummus, baba ganoush, tzatziki, and fattoush salad. Everything was amazing. The falafel was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside even coming out of a catering tray 15 minutes later, and was still delicious the next day as leftovers. The dips/sauces were all very delicious as well. The standout star of the lunch was the rice though. I will be having dreams about the seasoned rice. It's not because everything else wasn't also fantastic but that rice was just indescribably good, I wish I could describe it but I'm not familiar enough with the spices to point anything out in particular. (Cumin definitely, turmeric, sumac, cinnamon maybe? Perfectly balanced though.) I will definitely be coming back, both on my own for lunch and for future office catering needs. Keep them on your radar, they'll even deliver for a good sized party of people. I believe it was the owner who helped me out, I forgot to get his name, but he was very friendly and helpful in helping me put together a good spread.

I was NOT expecting this place to blow my mind with flavor, but WOW. juicy, flavorful chicken, perfectly cooked rice, and the best part is the salad?!?!? the salad is amazing. super vinegar-y, tasty dressing. can't believe how good and cheap and fast this is. wow.
