Bridget Barron: Carnitas tacos are fabulous! Brisket are good as well, tho a little on the strong side. Also recommend trying the queso dip.
Matt Helsley: The tacos, chips + green Chile queso.. They just need a better beer selection.
Akemi Ishikawa: The beef puffy tacos are my favorite. I also love the margaritas and queso dips.

Stacie Marie: Black bean queso is the best! All the happy hour food is very good! Goat cheese stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon and a strawberry salad are great choices.
Ell Bradshaw: Not that it's a surprise, but the calamari is a hard pass. Tough and tastes of nothing but vague fishiness. Get the Black Bean Queso or Street Tacos instead, both are delicious.
Eric Schrader: Booths high and romantic. Wait if time. Also bar seats by fireplace. Pepper tortilla chips & ask for habanero sauce to mix w/salsa to dip. Amazing flavors! Go-tos: sprouts, wings and spicy enchiladas

Travel + Leisure: Por Qué serves the famous ‘Bryan’s bowl’ (meat or vegetables, rice, beans, guacamole, and queso fresco).

Burt Rosen: Tacos are great as are the chips. I’m in love with the barbacoa taco. No, really I am.
Spencer Moe: Ask for a queso burrito. Doesn't cost extra and it makes it extra tasty.
Celso Orange Tree: Whole30 meal idea: Salad - lettuce, carnitas, guacamole, and tomato salsa only. Add green tomatillo salsa for an extra kick.
Mitchell Milliron: Avoid the guacamole upgrade if the short gal with two-toned hair is serving. They don't call her "Light-hand McGee" because she's Irish.

Brandon Lee: Pork belly rice bowl with poached egg and kimchi is 🔥
Andy McMillan: Picking a sandwich at Double Dragon is like falling in love. Sure, there are probably other options (read: sandwiches) out there, but once you've found true love (read: the pulled pork), who cares?
Ellis Johnson: Amazing pork belly bahn mi.
Michael B.: The Lighthouse Burger is a must!!!
Ross Henrickson: Poor service, unless you're sitting at the bar you will be forgotten. Drink order was wrong brought back another wrong drink and my wife didnt want to hassle with it a third time. Bill never came.....
Fritz Mesenbrink: Beautiful woodwork, beer & shuffleboard. This place is worth the trip.

Benjamin Chait: Sandwiches are great. Staff is delightful. Everything on the menu is yummy.
Lisa: The only indoor cuban restaurant I could find in Portland and it is AMAZING. After living in Miami and moving back to Portland, I needed a good place. The empanadas are to die for.
Ashley: They have a killer happy hour menu! And they have heaters above each table outside!! One of our new favorite places.
