Plant Based Papi - Portland

Came over this place when we were looking for a quick bite. it was taco Tuesday by chance. absolutely loved eating. had the elote, vegan tacos (mushroom and jackfruit). would recommend this place to anyone who wants to taste vegan food. will be back when we visit portland again.

Hang down the best vegan mac I ever had the pleasure of eating and I tried a lot! the nachos were delicious and the “out and in” burger was delicious. street taco was also bomb. vegan preggo demand satisfied and I am sure that I will be back for more soon. the bar in which it is called fortune is really sweet with great service.

Our family came first and it was taco Tuesday. we didn't know what to expect, except that the food is plant-based. our young daughters loved eating as we did! one of my daughters said: “best afteros ever! another highlight of the visit was the accompaniment with the cook. a very gracious and friendly soul. they taste his love in every bite.

Eating is very good, but I waited for an hour and for my order. I saw how many people get their food before me, even though I ordered before them. the workers said I didn't take my number that is not true. I gave them a second star because they composed the meal after the request that they do.

The food here is some of the best vegan food I've had (except the cheese..vegan cheese is still nasty) but the overall experience brings it down to 4 stars. I'm a meat eater that does 4 months of no meat or alcohol each Jan as a goal and to reset for the year so just something I do. This also gives me some time to try out new vegetarian and vegan places to eat. I'm familiar with this place since it used to be on the other side of the river and since I've been working from home I don't get to Portland much from Beaverton. I think I like the old location better. Even though it was a longer drive, it was easier to order and find parking. This place is located downtown across from the Hyatt centric hotel in another hotel I think called the governor and it used to be a bar called jackknife... I wish the Instagram page would say hey Fortune PDX is in the old jackknife restaurant place. That would help me know where it was a little bit better. I went online and tried to order online but everything that I was looking for said it was not available at this time even though I put in different times of pickup. So I'm not sure what the deal is with the website but that means I have to drive all the way down there to see what they had it available and then order at the bar and then wait about 35 minutes for my food when it could have been being prepared as I drove down there. Total travel time from my house down there and back was about an hour and 45 minutes and most of that time was spent waiting for my food and since I'm not drinking alcohol I would have preferred to not have to wait inside of a bar. The fact that this place is also 21 and over means that my daughter who is also does this diet with me. I can't take her to the restaurant to have some dinner with me. So for other folks, before warned that you have to show proof of vaccination even if you're doing a takeout order which I think is a little bit over the top because I saw DoorDash people coming in there and I don't think they were asking for proof of vaccination from those folks. Now as far as a food goes, like I said previously, this is some of the best vegan food I've had around Portland, but if you get a cheeseburger and you're not used to vegan cheese, I would suggest you skip the vegan cheese. I read an article recently that was talking about how vegan cheese has been improved over the last few years and I think it's still stinks and makes my food taste Chemically. I can almost guarantee you that the hamburger that I posted a picture of that If you're a meat eater, you probably cannot tell that that is impossible food. I also got the jalapeno mac and cheese and it is very delicious so obviously they're not using that same vegan cheese that they put on the hamburger on the mac and cheese. Food is excellent but the service needs some work and some clarifications on the website. As I remember the lady at the bar telling me that the website ordering was only available for people who get it delivered via DoorDash.
