Matt’s BBQ Tacos

I was literally squeeing— squeeeee!! — earlier this week on Tuesday when I saw the news that Matt’s BBQ is opening up a taco cart probably sometime next month in March 2019. I had a chance to enjoy Matt’s BBQ Tacos when they did a pop up with Shipwreck back in 2017, and they were legit the best breakfast tacos I ever have had. I can’t wait to have more.

Since then Portland’s BBQ prince Matt Vicedomini has already launched Eem Portland with food friends Eric Nelson of Shipwreck PDX and Earl Ninsom (of Langbaan, Paadee, Hat Yai), a brick and mortar restaurant of Thai and BBQ mashup on North Williams. I had been hoping that maybe breakfast tacos might pop up there now and then at Eem to re-live this previous popup, but this news is even better. The Matt’s BBQ Tacos will be a food cart on SE Hawthorne, and though I don’t know for sure what the menu will offer, here are some possibilities…

The breakfast tacos at this previous event were served using flour tortillas made with lard. However, tacos could also be made vegetarian or turned into a hash for gluten free guests too at that previous event, so it is likely Matt’s BBQ Tacos will still support options for constrained diets.

Some of the breakfast tacos Matt’s BBQ Tacos offered included a Basic Taco with scrambled egg, potato, cheddar and/or

• Brisket Taco with scrambled egg, potato, cheddar, brisket;
  
• Sausage Taco with scrambled egg, potato, cheddar, and jalapeno cheddar sausage;
  
• Mushroom Taco with scrambled egg, potato, cheddar, smoked mushrooms;
  
• and a Pork Belly Taco with black beans, cotija, tomatillo salsa, and pork belly.
  

Until then, get a taste of this Texas meets Portland BBQ at the Matt’s BBQ food cart by North Mississippi by Prost, or at Eem Portland.
