This place is wonderful! It was my second time there, brought my sister and brother in law for a special occasion. The food is so unique, each course was delicious and interesting. The service is attentive, the wine pairing was great and really enhance each course. We got cocktails which were great too. They were also very able to accommodate dietary needs, I know there are certain ones they can't, but ours were no issue which is really exciting when a tasting menu can accommodate. It's just a unique experience.

Had a great experience at Republica. Innovative cocktails. We started with the tuna tartare, the hamachi tlayuda and one of the maiz preparations that I, unfortunately, don't remember. They were all delicious. But, more than that, they were all innovative flavors and combinations of flavors that were truly exciting to discover. Our main courses continued to delight. We had the grilled sea bass frijoles and the pork chop in mole de frutas (persimmons). In both cases the food was superb and a remarkable discovery. The cuisson of the sea bass was perfect and the salsas divorciadas were each excellent in their own unique way. My pork chop was succulent and maybe the most tender, moist pork chop I've ever eaten. And the accompanying mole was delicate and flavorful. I am a sucker for chocolate mousse and this Mexican chocolate, banana cajeta and cocoa crumble did not disappoint. A total variation on the theme...this is not your average French mousse...but, once again, surprising and delightful. My guests shared a carrot cake which they enjoyed...but carrot cake is not my thing. Ambience: quiet and sophisticated. Muted, soft lighting and. colors. Service; Outstanding! Understated, laid back, extremely attentive and friendly. Excellence without stuffy formality. We loved this restaurant! Can't wait to go back.

Nice tasting menu. Service was pretty rushed but they tried to slow it down and pace it a little better. Wines were pretty interesting and dessert was great.

We go to this restaurant every time we are in Portland and have never been disappointed. Tried the a la carte menu for the first time last night and it was amazing! Service was excellent as always, great atmosphere and music. Highly recommend!

Our party dined with the tasting menu and wine pairings and WHAT A SPECIAL NIGHT!! The staff were all amazing: attentive, knowledgable, warm, and engaging. The FOOD was spectacular! There are not many opportunities to enjoy elevated Mexican cuisine in the area we call home (we were visitors to Portland) and this knocked our collective socks off. 10/10 would recommend and do it all over again on a future visit :-) THANK YOU, Republica, for a memorable evening!

Poor service. It is not what I expected. Not everything on the menu was available and forced to order the food I was not interested.
Brooke Appelhans
The food was so good and the wine pairing was excellent! Did the pre fixe menu and would definitely go back and do a la carte.
Incredible and novel in every way. Hospitality was on POINT! Shoutout to Eric and Andres and everyone whose name I was not able to get while I was there. The Mexico-forward concept was no joke. The Páramo is my new favorite cocktail. ¡Viva la raza!

This was my choice for my special birthday! We had a large group of 8 and it was not an issue whatsoever. We picked the testing menu experience and half of us opted for the drink pairing option. What an amazing adventure that was: In the course of 3 hours we we presented with amazing array of traditional and modern interpretations of Mexican cuisine. Delicious , intricate and spicy this variety of flavorful morsels took us on a journey aptly narrated by a friendly and knowledgeable staff. In my opinion some of the wine pairings ( as delitful and refreshing on their own) could not stand to the intense flavors of the presented dishes. They were all very good wines! It was on the pricey side, but very well worth it!
