Welcome to Caiman Cafe

“ Glad I stopped by for lunch, my pulled pork sandwich was delicious. The roll was fresh and it had the right amount of pork and lettuce. I'm surprised that there weren't more people during lunch hours. It's fairly close to the waterfront, and the courthouse. Definitely recommend! ”

“ We were in the area and specifically searched empanadas. They were a bit dry however tasted great, my favorite was the pork & pineapple. The sandwiches we ordered were exceptional! Bomb.com for real. The pan con lecho Americano was to die for and the Cuban was great too! Having been raised in Miami, the food was a pleasant reminder of home. The place could be cleaner but the music was great. Will be going back! ”

“ This place just undeniably rocks!!! The food is simply amazing with breakfast and lunch options, plenty of cozy seating all throughout, and the atmosphere was extremely cozy and clean! The woman working behind the counter was also so lovely! I cannot wait to go back and try their horchata latte. 10/10 eatery in downton Portland! ”

“ Great place to stop in and snag some lunch if you happen to be in the area. I was serving for jury duty and this place caught my eye. I’m glad I went in. The atmosphere itself is classic for what you’d expect of a family run restaurant. There’s nice decor on the walls and welcoming music playing. It’s not a huge establishment but definitely big enough for multiple parties to sit. I wound up getting the pork sandwich which came out in around 10 min with a small lunch rush. The sandwich was rich in flavor and the meat itself was super tender. The bread was also delicious as I know it’s made fresh locally. Some of the bbq flavor and the mayo I couldn’t taste so it might have felt slightly one note but it was a good note to say the least. Sandwich was a decent size but could have been a little larger for the price. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area. ”

“ It's hard to find good empanadas in Portland so I'm glad to have found this place. Both the savory and sweet empanadas were excellent! ”

“ I stopped in here for a quick bite and the food was really good. I didn't try much. They had a vegetarian option but I just chose to make my own vegetarian taco, which they were willing to do and I appreciate it and it tasted very good. I would love to come back here and try more. ”

“ Nothing bad to say, this place is authentic Mexican and Cuban food. They make everything fresh they don't pre wisk the eggs the smell of the place is amazing the customer service is great, lovely people. Overall great place ”

“ I had today’s special…tamale con huevo.. it was so flavorful and delicious! The person who helped me was kind. The place is simple and feels real. ”
