It’s loved by locals, hence this second location in Soho. I almost ordered their entire tapas menu, and honestly there wasn’t anything that wasn’t good, just things that were better and I would come back for those things in a heartbeat.

The owners, chefs and cooks are all Cuban, or of Latin decent, and they claim the food is authentic, but I couldn’t help but to think it was catered to American tastes, although still very good. The ingredients used are all fresh, local and sustainable.

It’s a popular hot spot & local favourite in Portland, Oregon serving eclectic tapas inspired by local ingredients for breakfast, brunch, and dinner. It’s definitely a neighbourhood and local favourite and it’s one of the less obvious choices for tourists too.

Ah Mis Trucos… I can’t help but to smile every time I think about it. What can I say? I really like this place. It’s one of those places that leave a lasting impression on me. The food is honest, with high quality ingredients and the chef is passionate and you can taste it.

The menu is seasonal and it changes frequently, but it’s more or less modern Mediterranean style tapas. It’s “Western” dim sum with a “dim sum” order sheet for a menu. Overall the food was good, but also not as impressive or satisfying as I thought it would be.
From the outside, it doesn’t look impressive. In fact, it almost looks a bit divey, but let me just say that this is a hidden gem and local favourite that incorporates Latin, Spanish and Mexican flavours in a very contemporary and gourmet way.
Mis Trucos serves individual tapas, share plates and big plates. They have a nice selection of Spanish wines as well as a few desserts. This review focuses on the dessert portion of dinner.
