JoJo food truck is giving away free meals in Portland today
One of the best places in Portland to get fried chicken in a few ways, and inarguably one of the best food trucks in town, JoJo has an extra connection with the city and people of Portland.
For those looking to take part in the free meal, you are asked to not make phone orders, and not form a line (shoulder to shoulder) outside of the truck.
After taking your order — yes, you can yell from six feet away — JoJo will place your meal on their window, then close access to the truck. Once there is a safe barrier, you’ll be able to approach and grab your free meal.
This offer comes after the truck gave away free meals to service workers and local kids on Monday.
“Due to the overwhelming success of offering free meals to service workers and kids, we have decided to offer free food to everyone today,” writes JoJo.
Their menu includes their famous Fried Chicken Sandwich, Cheeseburger, Nuggets, JoJos (wedges), and Fried Brussel Sprouts.

For those that aren’t in need of free food during this trying time in our communities, JoJo has opened up their Venmo account where folks can donate some money to help support this program.
I went to Jojo food cart to try their spicy cheeseburger and Jojos at 12:15, during peak lunch hour. Their customer service was excellent and for the amount of orders they were pumping out, they must have been working very fast, because it took less than 30 minutes for them. While I waited, I sat in the pavilion, which had lots of room.
As for the food, the burger was excellent and very spicy. It wasn’t dry and the fillings – American and Tillamook cheese, caramelized onion, Sambal mayo, pepper relish and shredded lettuce – didn’t fall out. And, the bun wasn’t soggy. The sauce, seasoned with pepper relish, had the perfect amount of spice. It felt like my mouth was burning.
