The Fettuccine Alfredo is to die for and Angie is a sweetheart!
So I start out looking for Ray’s Kitchen the reviews are good, I’m famished, google guides me through the winding roads of Southwest Portland like a child on an adventure ride. When I arrive at this row of slightly weathered food carts, Rays Kitchen is nowhere to be seen! As cars rush by the closest thing I can find is Angie’s so I ask, where’s Ray’s and the lady up there in the cart says, “Ray is my nephew, he don’t work here no more.”
And you know what? It don’t make no difference. Because the food is fantastic and Angie is a good sport and she treats this old geezer nicely, and the day ends ones on a happy note! So there!
The Fettuccine Alfredo is Creamy and filling, the Garlic Bread is garlicky and perfect for sopping up the extra sauce! I would have loved a table, but sitting in my car, with my dog staring fixedly at my food while watching the endless variety of Portland characters come and go from the various food carts more than made up for it. Really, they should charge admission! Keep your windows rolled down so you can visit with people. Good food seems to make people make want to talk. Gotta love it!
Food carts are dangerous. A Whole Damned Rabbit Hole that could pull me into a never ending time and culinary time warp that I might not ever escape from. I can feel the pull.

My wife and I recently moved away and one of the things we miss most about Portland is this food cart! The sandwiches are phenomenal. We will be stopping by whenever we visit!

I got the caprese panini and caesar salad, both were delicious. Both the salad dressing and the sauce on the panini were packed with flavor, all of the veggies were crisp and fresh. Every element of this meal was wonderful even the bread the panini was served on was light and fluffy. You can tell they have a lot of love and care for the food they serve their patrons here. Beyond just the quality of the food being excellent, the woman working there was very kind, helpful and quick at getting peoples food out. This was my first time eating here and I will most definitely be coming back.

I got an Italian panini and it was delicious. The ingredients were fresh – the produce was crispy, and the cheese was flavorful. The bread was soft, garlicky, and so satisfying. Friendly service, too! Will definitely eat here again.

This is their carbonara, it is so creamy and yummy. I was impressed. I also got the fresh bread come with it. I love this place.

Food is good but she constantly messes up your order. I’ve received the wrong dressing, no dressing, no protein on my pasta, etc. Nice lady but struggles to understand phone orders.

The food is outstanding, especially for a cart in the uni area, and it’s such a treat to order from Angie’s talented-yet-traditional kitchen. I even move my lunch hour back a little if I hear she’s not open yet. (Generally noon+)

Gross. I got a meatball grinder, y’all call’em subs but either way it was tasteless mush. The bread was soggy, the sauce was from a can with no extra seasonings and the meatballs were tasteless commercial kitchen products. These people don’t make them. Portland used to be a foodie town, after COVID most places aren’t worth your while anymore. Higher prices, less flavor… I’m done with food carts

Amazing Italian food! The owner is super sweet and is always on top of it! I’ve had the salads the paninis and pasta ALL 10/10 so happy I found a place that’s not insanely expensive and CONSISTENTLY delicious ❤️

The only thing my daughter and I don’t like is the bread that is served with the pasta, and is also used to make the Panini. The bread is so bad… I don’t recommend the Panini.
My favorites are the Carbonara and Gnocchi.
