Check out this top dog – Victory Dogs was ranked the best hot dog in Oregon by Travel + Leisure. With more than 60 types of hot dogs and 1,500 variations, the dog that put the “V” in Victory is the Crack’in, a massive (family-size) 4-pounder with more than 10 meats, endless cheese and a whopping four buns.
Pupusas on Wheels is where you’ll find the drool-worthy El Salvadorian dish with tasty offerings like revuelta (pork, beans and cheese), pollo (chicken and cheese) and chorizo (pork sausage and cheese). Vegetarians delight over just as many options, such as calabaza (pumpkin), frijoles (refried beans) or jalapeno pupusas.
