Which caused the rest of us to laugh, too, as we split the packet all the way home. Once the candy started cracking and fizzing in her mouth, Adela couldn’t help but giggle. Once we hit the car, I poured out the candy into their outstretched palms.

She and Cruz pleaded for them and I consented. Adela spotted the Pop Rocks in the vending machine. But I’d absolutely order those addictive wings again.Īfter we’d finished eating, we noticed The Venderia vending machine stocked with trinkets such as a mystery “spirit animal” in a brown paper bag, earrings, playing cards and used books. If you’re looking for something a little heavier, we recommend their fried chicken sandwich, which comes with refreshing shredded iceberg lettuce, pepperoncini, and spicy mayo. It was comforting and filling, but overall I realized I’m a bigger fan of pho than ramen. The bowl of sari ramyun consisted of noodles in a housemade chicken-beef broth topped with brisket, seaweed, a soft-cooked egg and bean sprouts. The wings were excellent - saucy, slightly spicy with still a great crunch when you bit into them. I ordered the mild version of the soup the restaurant is named after, and fried chicken wings doused in gochujang chile glaze. I tried the other new establishment at The Zipper - Sari Ramyun, which took over the Wares space and serves up Korean-style ramen soup, bibimbap and Korean fried chicken. Bonchon, a Korean fried chicken chain with more than 300 locations world-wide, will open its first in Oregon later this year, the company confirmed Monday. I’m Mexican American, and between family recipes and Cook’s Illustrated instructions, we’ve joked that the best Mexican food in Portland comes from our kitchen.) Tight Tacos’ corn tortillas really starred as the perfect taco base, but the meats shone as well. (When we moved to Portland from Southern California 15 years ago, we missed the cheap, plentiful and authentic Mexican food found there. He declared these the best tacos he’s eaten in Portland. My husband also ordered from Tights Tacos - a trio of carne asada, carnitas and chorizo tacos on thick hand-pressed corn tortillas. The sniffles stopped when she started eating her quesadilla even though her scowl remained.

(Tight Tacos took over the Chickpeadx space in late September 2019.) The quesadilla was big enough for her to split with her little brother, Cruz. And luckily they were on the menu at Tight Tacos, one of the new additions to The Zipper. She’s a big fan of quesadillas, and beans and rice. After acknowledging her disappointment, we managed to lead her hiccuping into the building. But my 7-year-old daughter, Adela, who had kept a stoic face at the book festival, dissolved into tears when we were about to exit the car to head into the food hall on Northeast Sandy Boulevard. I hoped going out to lunch at The Zipper might salvage the remainder of the day. After everyone (unenthusiastically) checked out the children’s stage, we decided to head home. But the line for wristbands stretched two blocks long and the panel filled before we got checked in. My family had planned to spend the morning at the Portland Book Festival, hoping to catch Raina Telgemeier’s panel.
