Mumbo Gumbo PDX Reviews

This was our first visit to this food cart. It won't be the last. The food was full of flavor, perfectly cooked and generously proportioned. My husband had the Shrimp and Grits and I had the weekend special, a Louisiana crab boil. The shrimp in both dishes were huge and tender. My dish was filled with corn on the cob, red potatoes, sausage, shrimp, and the legs and claws from half of a Dungeness crab, all swimming in a cajun butter sauce. It was messy to eat, but soooo good. My husband loved his meal, too. Service was friendly and helpful.

Outstanding Southern Food in SE Portland! I have walked by this food truck many times and finally had the opportunity to order takeout and meet Brandon (chef and owner!) Brandon is awesome! Very friendly and personable and has a deep knowledge of his beautifully crafted dishes Having recently returned from the South, we were able to experience many forms of shrimp and grits Mumbo Gumbo nailed the shrimp and grits! They were delicious and full of cheesy yumminess. The shrimp are good size and the flavors all meld together perfectly. We also had the gumbo and it was by far the best gumbo we've had in Portland! As a previous reviewer wrote it puts "the south in your mouth!" I cannot wait to revisit and try out some more of Brandon's creations!
