“ 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! ”
