    The best food I’ve had on the Oregon coast. FR. We got pupusas, wild mushroom pasta and rockfish tacos and all were to die for! Also the people are so kind!!

    Hands down the best food truck in Newport. We love everything we have tried so far. Today we decided to give the burger a try and first off, loved the fries, I can tell he cuts them fresh there, they’re a good size and amount. The burger itself was nice and big and we enjoyed the overall taste. Will be back again later this week. If you see them, check them out and if you love what you eat, spread the word!

    We have been visiting the Oregon Coast for the past 4 years now and during that time it's been a bit difficult to find good food to be honest. As we were driving down the coast I noticed a red food truck named Morels Restaurant. I'm big on yelp or any reviews because it gives me a better idea of whether or not I should stop at a place to eat. I have to admit there wasn't much except for 5 reviews on google but all of them had give positive reviews so I decided to give it a try. Let me tell you.... This food truck is delicious!!! It reminds me of homemade food my mom would make, it's so comforting especially when the weather outside is cold. We took everything to go but they do have one table under a tent set up for anyone looking to eat their food there. The service was friendly, fast and super helpful. I don't think we waited more than 10 minutes which was nice. My favorites are the chicken tamale (it's incredibly moist and melts in your mouth) and the potato empanadas. The tacos were filling and well made as well! I have visited their food truck twice now and plan on returning before we head back home. The menu also has a few other interesting items like ceviche, soups, fish and chips, and pastas. Go check them out. Guaranteed you'll love them too!

    This place was very friendly. I brought my baby with me and they were very kind and sweet. The food was great! I Got a chicken shrimp pesto pasta the best I have had. Better than most restaurants and a great price. It also had enough to share with my husband . We will definitely be coming here again.

    Super delicious and unique cuisine on the Oregon Coast. The choripan sandwich with chimichury sauce is easily one of my favorite sandwiches ever. The sautéed rockfish tacos are a vibrant kiss to one's taste buds. And the french fries with a garnish of chopped parsley are delectable. If you are in Newport run, don't walk, to Morels. José and his family are wonderful people to support.

    Found Morels on Google Maps. I had the rockfish tacos and my companion had a sausage type sandwich that neither of us can remember what it's called. The food was great! My fish was grilled to perfection. It included a lightly spiced marinara sauce that added a high note. The young man who took our order was friendly. Our food arrived in less than 10 minutes. They gave us complimentary wild mushroom soup that was also good. They have a variety of food options from fish and chips to a fusion of South American foods. We will definitely be returning.

    We had the Gnocchi and Shrimp, wild mushroom pasta, and the rockfish and chips. All we're delicious and we will be back. Highly recommend.

    The deep fried rockfish tacos hit the spot. The fixings were all super fresh and exactly what we needed after a few too many heavy meals along the coast. Splitting three tacos between two people was just right for a late lunch. I’m sure these guys will eventually have a brick and mortar with how stellar the food and hospitality was.
