Small Bites: Taqueria Mexa, Deals, Dediko, Ice Cream, and More

Taqueria Mexa interior. Amazing what kind of photos you can get when you live in your community.
This is the decor at Taqueria Mexa at their NE 82nd Avenue location.

Taqueria Mexa is opening a second location. They’ll be taking over the Poblano Pepper space by PSU. They have a location on NE 82nd Avenue—right next to where Florence of Nana’s Exquisite Confections was (she’s got a new spot further down 82nd, opening soon)—and their food is really good.

This is a great addition to Southwest Portland. They’ll be open every day starting at 10am, and closing at 8pm on Sundays, 9pm Monday through Thursday, and 10pm on Friday and Saturday. 1921 SW 6th Avenue, Portland

And just heard at 12:35, they are done taking orders for the day.” The end of an era and many will miss it. 17937 SE Stark Street, Portland

Screaming Sammies Ice Cream Sandwiches Pops Up in Sellwood

An ice cream sandwich
Not a Screaming Sammie, but a great ice cream sandwich I ate years ago.

On Sunday night, I learned about a handmade ice cream sandwich pop-up in Sellwood identified as “Screaming Sammies.” This is an old school kind of venture, with no apparent online presence, only a physical presence in Sellwood, and a reputation that is spread by word of mouth IRL and in online forums.
