Follow the crowd to Tito’s Taquitos for shrimp tacos, bright salsas, and warm tortillas that make waiting gladly part of the plan.
Portland’s food-cart rows change character when the sun drops, trading the day’s bustle for an almost festive calm. Lanterns flicker on, the air smells of smoke and lime, and people gather in small knots along the sidewalks.
Tito’s Tacos pulled in with the sharp scent of shrimp caramelizing, tortillas ballooning briefly before settling soft in the hands of the cook. Salsa jars glowed red and green under the bulbs, each one spooned out with quick precision.
I waited, watching how every plate left the window bright and balanced, how people took that first bite in quiet focus before chatter resumed.
The menu doesn’t bury the shrimp in small print or specials. It sits proudly beside the al pastor and carne asada, as if daring you to overlook it.
