" I have to hand it to El Goloso, it’s refreshing to find such a high-quality food cart! Each item is made with care, resulting in fantastic flavor profiles! I loved the huarache, to say the least. Moreover, it’s great to see a food cart that adheres to real cooking techniques and authentic recipes. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Goloso deserves all the praise it receives! The food feels like home, and you can see the passion in the way they prepare their dishes. I ordered the burrito and couldn’t believe how big it was! The quality ingredients made such a difference! If you seek authentic Mexico, this is the place! " (*Curated Review*)

" This food cart is a gem! I've been searching for authentic Mexican flavors since moving to Portland, and I finally found a place that delivers! I ordered the carne asada tacos and was mesmerized by the depth of the flavors. Each taco was filled to the brim and had just the right amount of salsa. They even offer a vegetarian option which makes it great for my friends who don't eat meat. The owner was super friendly, and he clearly cares about the quality of the food. I can't recommend this place enough, I'll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit El Goloso, I'm met with a consistent level of excellence! The chicken tinga burrito is my personal go-to. The balance of flavors is incredible, and the portion sizes are generous. Even the guacamole has a homemade quality that shines through. The atmosphere is always friendly, and everyone seems happy to be there. I'm bringing friends next week so they can enjoy it too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Goloso from the reviews, but unfortunately, my meal didn’t live up to the hype. I tried the carne asada burrito; it was overly greasy and lacked the promised flavors. I caught the staff on a bad day perhaps, but the service was not up to par either. I expected more for my money. The atmosphere is a bit cluttered too. I might give it another try later, hoping for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have a special place in my heart for El Goloso! The tacos taste fresh, with every component meticulously crafted! The owners are always there, making sure every guest feels special. It’s not just a meal; it’s a little piece of home. You can taste the quality and authenticity in every dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed a great meal at El Goloso; my go-to here is the al pastor tacos. The meat is marinated perfectly and has that beautiful caramelization. The salsa selection is diverse and elevates the meal. I’m always impressed with how clean the whole setup is! " (*Curated Review*)
