Weil Arcade Food Park Adds More Fun To Hillsboro's New Food Cart Hot Spot

It has only been three weeks since the Weil Arcade Food Park opened, and things seem to be heating up! Saturday Farmer’s Market has brought some good crowds who have tasted the delicious food coming from the food cart owners who have opened so far. At full capacity, the Park will have 10 or 11 carts. Owner Jay Weil could have designed for a much bigger and tighter setup like so many recently opened pods. But Weil told the Herald he is focused on a high-quality setting, the best carts with foods from around the world, and a fun environment.

“We want to be Hillsboro’s living room where the food brings you into Hillsboro’s historic downtown, and you stay and enjoy our food park and the city. There are so many great things here, so we will focus on making sure people have a great experience and hang out when they come here”

The living room will include fun things to do while people eat and enjoy all the amazing food. This weekend, people can try riding Buster The Bull. Yep, he is a full-scale old-school Urban Cowboy bull with a safety crash pad to protect those who don’t stay on! There is also music on selected days, and more fun things will come as summer comes along.

Check Out Buster be taken for a ride right here- https://youtube.com/shorts/6hNWbxfCdoI?si=HqQnGGIZn8LHhWko

What about the food? Well, our offices are across the street, so we have tried them all. The food is as good as any you will find on the Westside—that is all I will say or should need to say as we rate and check out many food venues.

Here are the great men and women who have set up their food carts so far—and boy, are they all killing it! Check them out!

The food is great, and Jay is right. This is the best spot in Hillsboro to congregate, eat, shop, or just relax! Come down and check it out for yourselves!

Here’s wishing nothing but success to Jay Weil and his new group of businesses. While not necessarily fitting in architecturally with the rest of Main St., it certainly fills a need for court jurors and the rest of us.
This unlike the bazaar Venetian down the street which has become a ghost like mystery. Overpriced meals & libations, and an ignorance of what downtown Hillboro needed and would support doomed it from day one. Who thought $100 family Easter brunch or $125++ dinner for two would surive on Main st.?
Good Luck Weil Arcade Food Park!!!

  Having a guy from Neshaminy making the cheesesteaks and roast pork is a great step… and having another lunch option that doesn’t require waited tables or a 15- to 20-minute wait is huge for Downtown. To-go food has long been downtown’s Achilles heel, despite Abu Rasheed and Chaat Wrap’s best efforts.
  The Venetian’s failure as a restaurant was both telling and entirely predictable. Nobody moves here for a $100 brunch: McMinnville this ain’t. But if you listen to the staff at Top Burmese, Blue Ox, the arcade or La Mixteca tell it, that failure was one of the best things to happen to Main Street. That forced the Venetian to be a venue where the food was an incredibly minor footnote. So when the dude finally opened the doors to corporate parties, weddings, proms and (despite his initial reluctance) quinceaneras, all of the pre- and postgame overflow came through the local businesses’ doors. We saw prom couples at Top Burmese about a week ago and asked wait staff about it, and they said the Venetian has been creating that kind of business for them, Syun and Collective for a while now.
  I’m guessing the cart pod will reap some of the same benefits. Here’s to unintended consequences…
