Review: DC Vegetarian

5 stars
Easily one of the best vegetarian/vegan food carts in Portland

Great vegetarian+vegan comfort food, lovingly prepared. A bit on the heavy side but when that’s exactly what you’re craving, don’t hesitate. Not far from the waterfront if you’re looking for a nice place to sit down.

Individual menu items I’ve tried:

  1. Italian sub - really solid, fresh & filling. Five stars.
  2. BLT on wheat (with avocado - do it!) - fantastic, with great veggie bacon and lovely nutty flavor. Five stars.
  3. Bacon cheeseburger - decent, but didn’t love the cartmade patty. Four stars. [*]
  4. Chicken salad - ginormous but a bit bland (basically just a huge amount of soy curls). Maybe try it with some extras. Three stars as-is.

[*] There are veggie patties and then there are “fake meat” patties. This one falls more on the veggie side. I’m personally more a fan of patties that come closer to meat-like flavors & texture without the dead animals (e.g., Beyond Meat’s Beast Burger patties). YMMV.
