19 Best Latin American Restaurants near Happy Valley

“Got an order of plantains. While waiting for them I decided to order something else. I didn’t take a picture of the original plantains or the meal I ordered because I ate it too fast. Ended up going back for 2 more orders of plantains for the road. The one pictured is the only one that made it home, It was a lady in the back and a gentleman up front taking orders. They were both friendly and it didn’t take long for any of my orders to come up. When I come back I will definitely be ordering more food.“

“Carlos went above and beyond. Good service all around, we shall be back again!“

“En Vida es muy delicioso. This cute little spot nestled away in a cozy corner of town is inconspicuous and tasty. I was blown away by everything I tried. Their empanadas were packed which is hard to find at times, the prices were reasonable, and the variety hits almost every Latin American country I enjoy eating in. 😂

Gluten free tip, almost completely GF except for the burger buns. They can be swapped out for tostones. It's a great alternative if you've never tried a tostone burger. Celiac friendly.

Cinco estrellas 💫💫💫💫💫

Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly, except the burger buns.“

“Went on a date with the wife last night here and was really pleasantly surprised by how good everything was! Super delicious cocktails and really decent pricing.

The ceviche and mussels were so delicious and the portions were much bigger than was expected.

For sure gonna come back!“

“Excellent cocktails, fun atmosphere, delicious food (recommend the ceviche) and a kind, attentive staff. We had a 6:00 reservation and were seated immediately. We will definitely be back.

Vegetarian options: Vegan banana flower tacos“

“Ok, the Plantain Sandwich (No. 17) is off the charts amazing. I have no idea how that meat is crafted but it’s perfection. A little salty, a little sweet, I topped it off with the INSANE garlic sauce. Brilliant. And the guys at the cart are super sweet!“

“Friendly service with a great atmosphere. I absolutely loved the salmon dinner, and the drinks are top notch. Thank you De Fuego Grille. See you again soon.“

“Amazing creative dishes. Palm ceviche is fabulous as are all the entrees I can’t spell and the empanadas are flaky and delicious salsas aren’t really necessary but they are also incredible. Causas were wonderful. I couldn’t like this restaurant more if I was vegan. Highly recommend Epif.“

“Hands down. Best Cuban foood in Portland“

“Burrito was dry & tasteless (I will never order a burrito with potato as one of the ingredients again! My bad?)
But the portable restrooms set up in parking lot are crazy awesome! Such a weird thing to rave about, but so cool!
Anyway, I’d totally go back to this pod since they have other interesting food choices (there’s a reason some food trucks having lines & others don’t! Duh!)

Dietary restrictions: Tons of vegan choices

Parking: Great parking lot right behind pod“

“Went here for dinner with the family and it was wonderful! Great margaritas, service, and food ❤️ What a gem this place is! Thank you so much for a great experience, we will definitely be back.“

“The food is excellent. I will be coming back. It’s in the middle of a pottery yard which gives the venue nice atmosphere. Also they have flan. This restaurant reinforced to me how much excellent dining there is to be had along the 82nd street corridor. And it’s very reasonably priced. My friend takes her grandma to Elmers, but after we ate here, dipping the papa fritas in the pepper sauce she said, “I think my grandma would like this place. So would my mom. I think we’ll come here again soon.” You could watch 50 kitten rescue videos and you will still not equal that warm glow of hospitality and welcome that one experiences here when you cross the threshold.“

“Best chicken and potatos 💯👌i ever had wowwwwww“

“This place has thee BEST Honduran dishes
We loved it! We waited almost 30 minutes and they don't speak English but it was great anyway. The dinner was 37.00 1 dish and 2 drinks. The portions are giant along with the drinks we will go back again for sure“

“The drinks are as Instagrammable as the decor. The cocktails are creative, the vibe is trendy, and the crowd knows it. Service is solid, though the prices might make your wallet cringe. Pro tip: sip slow—it’s a splurge, but a tasty one.“

“Omg so good! We got the lomo sandwiches and agreed it was the best sandwich either of us had eaten in a looong time. The flavor was so satisfying and delicious. The bread was also a surprisingly perfect choice, grilled to perfection. We were so happy!“

“It's a good food cart to grab some quick food when in the area. They are usually the ones that have longer operating hours than the other carts in the area. We stopped by and shared a chorizo quesadilla while waiting for our other stuff. The flavor of the chorizo was on point, and the quesadilla did its job. The person working there was friendly and quick to prepare our food.“

“The place is amazing! We love it here, tasty food, great service. For the first time visiting, have very low expectations first because some other people personal opinions and reviews , but was very impressed, the atmosphere is cool, cozy and nice. 👍“

“Sabor Catracho is always a fantastic place to eat, especially their pollo chuco. My wife, who is from Honduras, loves coming here as it takes her back home with every bite. The authentic flavors and warm atmosphere make it a go-to spot for us. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy genuine Honduran cuisine!“
