I love this place! When you're here you are transported to somewhere else. Delicious food that's flavorful, affordable and true to its roots. Service was spectacular! (rare in Portland these days). Thank you for being fabulous for the last 26 years. Cheers to many more to come. We love Pambiche- it's like we're a part of the family.

I got a Cuban to go. It was meh. They give you a pickle on the outside. It's supposed to be in the sandwich. It was dry and flavorless except for salt. I will try other things on the menu but I'm not hopeful. For context Im Puerto Rican and I grew up on the east coast. Ive had many Cuban sandwiches. Not authentic restaurant. Tres leches is Mexican, not Cuban. I do love tres leches though. I didn't order it from here

Wow! So delicious, friendly, vibrant, accessible, comfortable, intimate, quick. So glad we found this place and will be sure to return. Love their empanadas, traditional and homemade plates, and phenomenal desserts. May just come for a romantic cafe Bombon and dessert next time!
