Portland, Oregon – Pambiche

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.

El Caracol Mexican Cafe is a hidden gem and total hole in the wall specializing in authentic Mexican-Hondurian and Salvadorian food. It’s very popular to the Latin American locals in the area and it’s very affordable and traditional.

Cobre Nuevo Latino is supposed to be a “blend of Mexican, Cuban and Argentinian flavors”, but I found it more West Coast or Pacific Northwest fusion with some Latin flare. Don’t expect authentic, it’s not in the name and it’s not trying to be, so you have to let go of that idea.

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. Update post!!!!

I revisited the restaurant and tried the purple corn drink (Chicha Morada), Peruvian spiced mashed potatoes (Causa a Limena) and a mini pork belly burger (Chicharron Sandwich)… oh god the pork belly burger… I’m still thinking about it.

Guy Fieri from Triple D where are you?! I think Vancouver just schooled you! Talk about hidden gem! Mochikas Peruvian Cafe is located inside Platinum Touch Auto Spa. It was either going to be really really good, or really really bad, and I’m happy to say it was the prior!
