I had the cheese and veggie empanadas. Both were very delicious and had me craving for more. The empanadas were small so I recommend this place if you are looking for a small bite that’s rich with flavor. The workers were friendly and provided excellent service. I would rate this place a 5/5 on flavor but 3/5 on value. 4/5

Oh, WOW! Such a good find. The best empanadas with a variety of fillings. Authentic Colombian food and sauces. Very welcoming and friendly. After trying one I bought two whole trays so we can freeze them and have them available (as we don’t live in Portland). All our family loved these. Very reasonably priced, too.

So very good - we will definitely order from here again.

I've been to many Venezuelan and Colombian restaurants, but El Pilón truly stands out as the best! Their arepas are absolutely incredible-fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. Not only is the food amazing, but the prices are also unbeatable. The empanadas are equally delicious, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The staff is warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. I can't wait to come back to Portland just to enjoy this place again! Highly...
