Restaurants near Oak Grove

“My wife brought me here for my 70th birthday. She asked, "where would you like to go?" "Surprise me.", I told her. Oh my! My grandmother from Puebla, Mexico would have loved this place. The tortillas were fresh, Handmade! I ordered the Pozole. Oh so rich and fragrant and bustling with pork, hominy and a very wonderful broth. Did I mention the tortillas?? Oh Lord!! I plan to bring my three adult children here for my son's birthday. I plan to eat my way through the menu, over the course of the next year or so. I can see that there are many others who love this place. The entire time we were having dinner, there was a steady stream of people coming in for takeout. Yep, this is a gem of a restaurant. Come enjoy.”

“I love this place! I could get a cup of coffee anywhere but this shop has become more than just great food and drinks - it’s a place for neighbors to gather and the owners have fully invested themselves in our community. Love the breakfast sandwiches, my daily coffee and Friday evenings on their back lawn with a beer and friends!”

“Extraordinary ice flavors! Delicious! Great coffee! Very nice people!”

“The food is amazing!! No matter what you get. The amount of food you get with your order. The prices are very fair. The workers are always nice to me, pretty sure everyone else as well.”

“Mudd coffee is roasted locally by Marco (1/2 Pint Cafe), and Local Coffee makes a jazzy Nutella mocha that is soo sweet! Love it! The Mexican mocha is also delicious! Remember to use your Fred Meyer gas receipt for $1 off. --- frugal kugal”

“What a wonderful surprise! This restaurant was recommended by a family member, and we ended up making a reservation for our group of 12 for a birthday dinner. The service was outstanding from the first phone call all the way through to our server wrapping up our leftovers for us. The food was outstanding, generous portions, fresh beautiful vegetables, wonderful flavors. I would absolutely recommend them and hope to visit again next time we’re in the area!”

“They have great service, great food and amazing Steaks! Love this place”

“They have the best Mexican Food on McGlouphlin blvd. Their Taquitos are excellent alond with their homemade Salsa.”

“A funny near not funny thing happened in Starbucks parking lot at this location. I parked my car in the lot across and over a bit from Starbucks. My husband and I got out of the car and started walking towards the door and after a few steps we both took a bit of a dive downwards as the slope was steep and was not obvious. It would have been bad if we didn’t catch ourselves because we could have done a face plant right into the asphalt! OUCH! But maybe someone else might not have been so lucky and might have completed a face plant. Why they didn’t even out the grading is a mystery to me! It’s an accident waiting to happen. BTW, our drinks were fine.”

“Adore the peeps that make this place flow from the cooks, bartenders of all personalities (which I love) and the poker crew! Feels like… a better version of CHEERS! Winning 😍”

“Great place to unwind ... machines seem to hit here more often which is good for the pockets ... And between Terri and Mandi the bartender attendants the service is on time an awesome.... Food.Beer.VPoker is a mix of good times and helps the spirits heal from the negative BS ...??”

“What an adorable hidden gem! Just off McLaughlin Boulevard, this cozy little bar is a must-visit. The bartenders are fantastic, serving up amazing drinks that hit the spot every time. Plus, the patio is a blast with a giant Jenga set—perfect for a fun, laid-back evening!”

“The best pizza I’ve had in Portland. They sat 4 of us at the bar, two adults and two kids. Our kids loved watching the pizza being made. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The dough was perfect.”

“It was delicious!!! Rabbit, foie gras, pigs feet, escargot, halibut, eel, scallops, all the fancy sauces….SOOO good!! Every bite was just perfectly executed. The staff was so friendly and engaging which made it really fun to sit at the chef’s counter!”

“We went for the last week of the summer menu. The restaurant place is converted from an old houses and therefore has very nostalgic interior vibe.

The foods are all very delicious and fairly priced! We especially like the chicken liver tart, the cube-shape Wagyu beef check, and the desserts!”

“Lilia is an absolute gem and my new favorite Portland restaurant. The menu changes weekly based on the freshest ingredients, and every dish bursts with bold flavors and inspiration from across Mexico. The vibe is chill and the staff are sweet and knowledgeable. Music was great (rock en español) and not too loud, so you could have a conversation at your table without yelling (yay!)

We tried the chef’s tasting menu, which included two appetizers (PNW oysters and tomato/melon salad, two large plates (mushroom barbacoa & cheese-filled corn dish and king salmon which was caught that morning) and two desserts (fig pastie and a creamy Asian pear). We also got the carnitas chilaquiles separately—highly recommend. Each dish was beautifully prepared, incredibly tasty, and unforgettable. The wine pairing ($68 per person) was thoughtfully curated and well worth it, and the cocktails were just as impressive.

Can’t wait to go back!!!!”

“Really delicious, and so happy to have a Japanese sandwich cart in Portland. I loved the Pork katsu!”

“From our nine year old: Amazing service and great mocktails! We went during the make your own Gimbap and it was absolutely amazing!!”

“Came in with some friends. They had patience of waiting for the long line but I did not. I just grabbed the pint of honey lavender flavor ice cream in their fridge then went straight to the cashier so I didnt have to wait in line. The ice cream was delicious and one of my favorite flavors, then 2nd would be blue cheese n pear flavor. The atmosphere was clean and the place smells like amazing vanilla scent because of the waffle cones they make there. One of my favorite ice cream places ❤️”

“all I can think saying is it’s delicious every spoonful come out and have some …delicious I promise”

“Their shrimp pasta is DIVINE! It's so flavorful and they're quite generous with the amount of shrimp too. I like how they don't take reservations because it just means you're guaranteed a spot if you're there right when they open up.”

“They limit the daily selections to 2 or 3 items, plus available appetizers etc. What they do make is just simply the best pho I ever recall having. The owners are always there and are the most welcoming hosts imaginable. 110% Satisfied!”

“Came in on a Sunday and sat at a cozy table in the back. Received great service and enjoyed the drinks and food. Get a drink recommendation—you won’t regret it!”

“We sat at the bar and loved the atmosphere… service was superb (thank you Nick) and the food delicious”

“Wonderful neighborhood restaurant. It's absolutely beautiful inside and we can tell this restaurant is a real labor of love. The food is delicious and the cocktails are the best I've had in Portland (honestly!). Glad they have reservations now! We'll be back!”

“Cozy neighborhood vibes. Had to remind myself it is a bar. Kinda loud, but then again it is a bar. Scored low on service because there is zero table service. You have to keep getting up to order at the bar. Good burger and fries. Trout chips and dip was different but tasty. Overall good experience.”

“Everything is bomb! my favorite restaurant in Portland! Try the dumpling Soup! Also the best Thai Tea in Portland and it's reasonably priced which is great! Love it here!”

“We ordered the fried chicken, summer salad, hummus with burnt beef tips and the corn ribs. Everything was unbelievably delicious. The summer salad in particular was refreshing and different. I can not recommend this place enough.”

“I went to this place for me and my partners anniversary. I have never been and neither had he. The experience was top notch! I came in and the waiter said he was going to change my life and he did just that. I also had a gift card that had a generous balance and I was so impressed with the service and food that I was embarrassed to use it so I paid out of my own pocket. Best tapas in Portland hands down! My partner usually is the one who picks places because I’m bad at it and he was also incredibly impressed with me and my choice to try Urdaneta!”

“I haven't been in person just yet, but have ordered from this place many times. Delicious gluten-free fried chicken every single time! Although I can't seem to find any info on if the other things are gf as well. Mac n cheese? Gravy? The sando? Would love to know.”
