Matt's BBQ Tacos

"Matt’s Texas-style BBQ already had a legion of local fans, but when they started serving their now legendary slow-smoked brisket and pulled pork on homemade flour tortillas, their popularity soared. Located at Hinterland Bar & Carts near Mount Tabor (you can also get them inside Great Notion Brewery on Alberta), people come for the all-day breakfast tacos and more-is-more creations like the G.O.A.T. (no goats are harmed in the process). It’s a Tex-Mex showcase for juicy brisket and pulled pork served on a corn tortilla on top of a flour tortilla, glued together with queso. Let’s hope Taco Bell doesn’t catch wind of this glorious beast." - Krista Garcia

"Specializing in, but not limited to, breakfast tacos, Matt’s BBQ Tacos in the Hinterland pod on Southeast 50th presents Matt’s signature charred-but-succulent brisket, pulled pork, and other expertly smoked delights in airy flour or weighty corn tortillas. Breakfast options generously pile on the eggs, potatoes, and guac, a common brunch move in town. Matt's BBQ Tacos is also operating a second location at Great Notion Brewery on Alberta Street." - Nathan Williams, Ron Scott

"Matt’s BBQ Tacos is perhaps the most widely known Portland Tex-Mex purveyor, though those looking for enchiladas and chili con carne will be disappointed. Of course, pitmaster Matt Vicedomini is known for his barbecue, so this cart serves things like tacos filled with smoked brisket or pulled pork. In the mornings, flour tortillas come layered with refried beans, cheese, and egg, plus add-ons from the smoker. However, the sleeper hit on the menu is likely its migas, a tortilla chip and pico scramble with cheddar and guacamole, all tucked into a tortilla. The queso here is also a standout." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"I’m a sucker for Matt’s BBQ Tacos. I grew up in Texas, so a breakfast taco is the perfect meal to me." - Thom Hilton
