Ask anyone in Portland about their favorite lunch place, and it’s even odds that they’ll name one of the hundreds of food carts that populate the street corners and parking lots of our fair city. Well, clearly they’re on to something: US News & World Report just ranked PDX number one in its list of the World’s Best Street Food. Edging past formidable (and mouth-watering) competition that included Paris, Morocco, and Istanbul, Portland was awarded this culinary crown based on the “diversity, quality, and affordability” of our city's street cuisine, as well as the friendliness with which its served.

So go celebrate another win for Portland! With almost 700 licensed carts to choose from, you're bound to find an award-winning lunch.
