The Meddling Lime

I guess there is no lack of great reviews for this place, but I feel moved to add my own. I've searched high and low for healthy, tasty Mexican fare in Portland and this place is it! I love the fish tacos. The rice and beans are a meal in themselves. The prices are very reasonable and, as others have mentioned, the proprietors are friendly and kind. Just go there! It is easy to park on the street and side streets, so you have no excuse.

One of my favorite places to eat in all of Portland. The beet and avocado tacos are out of this world. The shrimp burrito is phenomenal. The service is also top notch. Every time I visit or call to place an order, they are so cheerful and friendly, it instantly puts me in a better mood. I called once and they didn’t answer in time (on another call). I didn’t leave a message, but they saw my caller ID and called me back within seconds to take my order on their own accord.

Culinary perfection! Mexican inspired food cart with picnic table seating. Perfect blend of flavors and ingredients and very well-priced. Endless menu options. Opted for 3 a la carte tacos (pastor; pescado; beets), and I couldn't have been happier. Random find but so glad I did! Highly recommend.

I’m one of those (California transplants) with high standards for Mexican food and had been severely underwhelmed in Portland… until we found Meddling Lime. We order out at least once a week and it is consistently so, so good. I always get chicken tacos, my husband gets the crispy rice al pastor, and my son gets the kids burrito. In fact, my son’s first ever solid food was the verde chicken, haha.

Delicious food. This place is BUSY and there's a good reason. Their fried chicken is so good, and the burritos... Even better. Big, packed full of all the good things you want all the way to the very last bites. The only thing I wasn't super jazzed on was the salsa - the spicy one was very good, the medium red salsa felt like something you dip chips in, not something you pour on a burrito/taco.

Itl probably take about 15-20 minutes to get food during peak hours, but it's well worth the wait.

The cart pod here only has a few tables so seating is limited.

We love this place. The food is always delicious, and the people who work in the cart are really friendly too. Recommend the salads! Also all the tacos and burritos we have tried have been great too.

I recently moved into the area, and this food cart was one of the first places I ate at, and I'm planning on making it a regular spot. The seared cod tacos were some of the best fish tacos I've tried and were very affordable. Light, delicious, but a little wet, so grab extra napkins. I'm planning on trying a lot more items off their menu soon. Parking can be limited during busy parts of the day, but street parking should be available on the side streets.
