Nelly’s Taqueria gets hyped. I recently came across this video by WhyteFoxx Media on Nelly’s Taqueria, which is located inside Su Casa Supermercado on Stark and 162nd. The video features some of Portland hip-hop musicians asking for and enjoying the special Whyte Foxx Burrito, created by hip-hop artist Whyte Foxx. DJ94 Prynce, Indo Slim, Smurf Luchiano, and Swiggle Mandela all give it a thumbs up. Note: Nelly’s has a sizable number of vegan items on its menu. 16100 SE Stark Street, Portland

Four Things I Learned This Week (August 30)

Nathan Hart delivers melons (and more). Each summer Nathan Hart, the Watermelon Man, sets up shop along NE Prescott on the Cully/Roseway border. He’s sold melons out of his truck for years, but this is the first year I know he’s able to deliver. Along with watermelons, he is selling berries, corn, onions, cantaloupe, and honey. Call 503-756-1257 for delivery or more information. NE Prescott Street and 68th Avenue, Portland

Takibi will return. After a fire in January, Takibi, and izakaya, had to close for repairs. Fast forward seven-and-a-half months, and they are returning. “We are excited to announce that Takibi will return in September with a new team and a new menu.” Excellent. 2275 NW Flanders Street, Portland

New Thai cart at Upright Beer Station. I noticed a new cart as I was driving by NE Prescott and 72nd: R-HAAN Thai Kitchen. Google confirms they are there as does their website. No idea the quality of the food, just that it’s there. 7131 NE Prescott Street, Portland

Great steak reported at Covert Café. Over on Reddit they were talking about where to get a tasty steak in town and someone recommended Covert Café in Montavilla: “The owner hand picks the steaks from a local farm and grills them to perfection $20 (ish)/ plate.” You can see it on their menu as Steak Dinner: “Top sirloin cooked to your desire, garlic herb butter, potato salad, spring mix salad with croutons.” 803 SE 82nd Avenue, Portland

P.S. Light posting this week because I got to spend time with one of my favorite persons. We ate at some great places, including Steam Rice Roll King (photos on Instagram), The Paper Bridge (photos on Instagram), and had tea at the Umami Café at the Japanese Garden (a couple photos on Instagram plus shots of the amazing Garden).

Also, don’t forget: the Reeva block party is this weekend! The Romanian Festival and Arab Rajan Festival are also this weekend.

Four Things I Learned This Week (July 26)

Teote Tavern has closed. A Bridgetown Bites tipster emailed me with the message, “Looks like teote closed again.” Google confirms it; the website for Teote Tavern also says “Closed.” Disappointing news, for real. 5513 NE 30th Avenue, Portland

All hail the return of Nathan the Watermelon Man! I heard the good news from friends in Roseway about Nathan‘s return. While I was driving along NE Prescott yesterday, I saw his signs out. Looks like he’s set up on NE Prescott and 68th Ave.

Hummus Vitality has closed. Hummus Vitality has left the building. Well, they left Argay. A sign on the door says, “We’ve moved to 3223 NE Broadway St. as Nicholas Restaurant. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.” I was just over there recently and had some really good tzatziki (the hummus was less interesting). Sorry to see them leave. Thanks to my honorary Montavillans for sharing this update. 13816 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland

Get your ful at Yigebe Coffee. This little Ethiopian cafe on NE Sandy in the Rose City Park neighborhood is now serving Ful for breakfast. Ful, or Ful Medames, is a traditional Ethiopian breakfast dish with a base of spiced beans, often favas (I’ve seen it made with black beans). It’s topped with a white cheese, tomato, onions, jalapeño, and avocado. 5730 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland
