Chayo

I wish I read the reviews before visiting as I enjoyed the Hot Oli sandwich, but wasn't wowed by it. It looks like the raving reviews are mainly for the Xicano Cheesesteak (carne asada.)The gal taking orders (owner's daughter?) was very friendly.I look forward to returning.

One word: get their cheesesteak. It's a new an upcoming truck and honestly I am all here for it. I was recommended by the gentlemen working at the fragrance store In front and he claimed it's his favorite food in all of Portland.I don't know what kind of special ingredients was placed in the sandwich but one bite after another was heaven. Lots of outdoor seating, no restroom, limited parking, but amazing service.

Alright. Tucked away in a CUTE alley is this little food truck. It was a quiet Saturday, and it sits by itself between some cute shops. We had NO idea what we were in for but WOW.We had the Xicano cheesesteak, and let me tell you - this was hands down the best rendition of cheesesteak I've ever had. The poblano peppers and the seasonings just brought this sando home. If you're in the area, come try this place!

Fun new find on Division. Chayo will not disappoint! Absolutely delicious Mexican cheesesteak sandwich. Highly recommended. There is seating in the alley for probably five or six groups of folks to enjoy this truck's fare. Order ahead to avoid any waits. So so good.

Wowow, I got a tinga sandwich and it was delicious! Soft bread, tasty chicken. Light but filling. I'm so happy to be able go walk to such good Mexican food. This rivals the Guero torta, as one of the best I've had in Portland.

Visit Chayo! They're lovely people who give you want you want: unique, high quality food, at a reasonable price. The Xicano Cheesesteak is my fave. It's a well-crafted twist on a Philly Cheesesteak that's at least as good as the original. The bread is perfect, plenty of meat and cheese, and loads of flavor from the other ingredients. The Oli sandwich was a little less impressive, but still delicious. I enjoyed how the subtle pineapple took it to a new place, with the sauces and caramelized onion. I preferred the Sonoran dog over the Ay Chihuahua dog. The former was loaded, flavorful, and visually enticing. If the latter had bacon on it, I didn't see it (maybe the bacon was chopped up with the beef, sprinkled on the dog?), and the bun was barely full, though it was still flavorful, savory, and unique enough to try. I really liked the Gringas, which I tried with both flour and corn tortillas. I had the mixto (carne asada and veggies) in flour tortillas and the veggie in corn (they split it into two for me, which I appreciated!). The core ingredients are wrapped in cheese and fried, then topped with condiments. Fried cheese, always for the win! I still need to try the chicken "tinga," but my faves so far are the Xicano Cheesesteak and the Sonoran dog.

This place is excellent - I've come here a few times now and I'm always impressed. Today I ordered the Xicano Cheesesteak and it blew my mind! Carne asada, tons of cheese, poblanos, onions and green peppers made for an amazing combination of flavors, but the addition of the avocado salsa and roasted tomato salsa sends it over the edge. The final element of perfection is the perfectly toasted bread that gives the perfect crunch. Highly recommend!

Food is so good. I had the hot oli. It is an amazing sandwich, probably one of the best I've ever had. Service was great. Lovely covered sitting area in tghe back in shade. Cool place all around.

I finally made it to the neighborhood food cart and now I know what I was missing. Freshly made beef tacos were fabulous! So tasty.

Had the Xicano Cheesesteak. It was great! The steak, cheese and toppings are great and the bread was so good! I'm looking forward to eating here again and trying other dishes.
