Came on a Saturday to have brunch with a couple friends. They weren't busy when we arrived (11a.m.), but packed by the time we were leaving.I had the Eggs Benedict. It was delicious, but the braised pork was over seasoned to me, still edible and tasty if you add a bite to the delicious little roasted potatoes.We all shared a side of Yuca fries, and pecan crusted/candied bacon. Both delicious, and the sauce provided for the fries was amazing.The service was also fantastic! Our server was very friendly and attentive.I would reccomend checking this place out. I will be back.

cute little spot on NE Fremont Street with good food and service. The appetizer we amazing but my braised meat dish was too sweet overall. Still very good spot for South American cuisine. Bright colorful and spacious dining room with a small area on sidewalk for some outdoor dining too .

Absolutely amazing brunch! Arepo Benedict, Huevos Pericos, Torrejas, and Praline Bacon were all incredible! Forgot to photograph their mocktail, Tasty Little Coconutty Drinky, but it was also delicious. Coffee was great too. If I HAD to complain, the Bloody Mary was just ok, I would’ve loved more spice, but our server told us it was the first one she’s made so I’m not sure if it was a good representation. And it was good!! Just not as amazing as everything else.

This place is incredible. En Vida is a hidden gem! This wonderful restaurant has homestyle Columbia cooking that remains humble in the largely oversaturated food scene of Portland. With lovely staff, and a cozy atmosphere you’ll feel right at home. When you go, order everything. I promise you, you’ll be coming back for more.
Darn good burger in Portland... Top 5 for sureThey also take a lot of care in the way they pack food for delivery.Definitely a Portland gem ?

Delicious food! My go to for lunch, pretty obsessed with their sauces and maduros. I tend to get a drink at the bar while I eat and chat with who is working. Everyone has been very friendly and plus the drinks are great!
The gentleman that helped us was informative and friendly. The food was fantastic! And the pork belly was superb. I recommend the fried plantains, they were delicious! The salsa is the freshest! Prices were great! Will go back as soon as I can!
Wow, this place is terrific. Best eggs benedict I have had in years. Lots of gluten free menu items. Everything we ordered was terrific and friendly service.
