Literally everything was amazing. So many options. So flavorful and fresh. This chef knows what she is doing!! If you’re in Portland this is a must stop.

Another visit to Portland, another great vegan experience. Coming from a smaller town without a single vegan/vegetarian restaurant, it is such a pleasure to have not just vegan restaurant options but to be able to experience and enjoy vegan renditions of cuisines from around the world.
My first time trying Venezuelan food was/will be a memorable one. My wife and I tried the Patacon de Carne Asada and the Arepa de Carne Asada. Both were very good, with the Patacon being both of our favorite.
Definitely recommend to anyone looking to try vegan Venezuelan 🇻🇪!

Never having eaten Venezuelan food in general (let alone plant based), we didn't know what to expect. We got the carne asada patacone and the reina pepiada arepa which were both incredibly delicious (and came with a couple of maduros). We couldn't restrain ourselves enough to take a pic first, but trust me, it's so worth the trip! Additionally, they were really friendly and let us use the tupperware we brought instead of the to-go boxes and didn't look at me like I had 2 heads for asking haha. Will be back!

I've been craving an arepa and conchapa for so long, and El Salto hit the spot! Fantastic food and nice staff. It's a must try!

I was jumping for joy at the appropriately named El Salto (translation “the jump” or “somersault”). All vegan Venezuelan cuisine made fresh to order.
Empanadas made of plantain dough and stuffed with house made vegan meats and cheese? Por supuesto!
Arepas (think an open stuffed masa cake like a tamale) stuffed with avocado and vegan meats/cheese of your choosing? Delicious salsas and sides of plátanos…
volveré muchas veces #Veganuary

This 100% vegan gem was a phenomenal find! If I hadn't told my partner and verified, I'm not sure I would have known our meal was totally animal free. The sauce served with the dish was what topped everything off and pulled it together . Carnivores, omnivores and all the unsure and skeptical- give this place a shot and you'll realize just how good the Vegans can make life good. ❤️
Thanks for putting so much love and care into your labors. Viva Venezuela! ??

I wish I’d known about El Salto before today! I had the carne asada arepa for lunch and it was delicious and now I’m talking myself out of going back for dinner. The arepa was the perfect balance of soft yet crisp, the vegan carne asada was so flavorful and perfectly seasoned, and the tostones with guasacaca were also great. I grew up eating Guyanese-style plantains and I think I like tostones more now ? I will be back soon!
