    I'm Argentine for a moment Caught in-between Franklin and Tabor And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to give you stars I'm Empanadas for a moment They taste better than ever Olives and garlic endeavor Cooling us down from Clinton Park Argentine, there's still time for you Peruse Alecocina's menu Argentine, there's never a dish better than this When you've only got 66 words to give

    Chicken milanesa a la napolitana. 2 big milanesas with tomato sauce and cheese, fries( you can substitute for salad) and chimichurri

    A truly gem in SE for those looking for comfort food from Argentina. The owner is a native from Argentina so everything is meticulously made. There's no fake or wat I call "lazy repulgue" and that adds more value to me. The food itself it's delicious and abundant for the price! The space is clean and I add extra points to the effort to make the place inviting. The details are so nice on the table. And Ale, the owner, is so nice.

    Alfajores traditional Argentinian Pastry!

    Best alfajores ever Ale Cocina is a high quality and delicious food! Those alfajores is a sweet treat mouth watering for any ocasión! Just at the first bite is full of flavor and the texture is a smooth and so moist and creamy inside! You can't have only one! Los mejores alfajores que he comido son de Ale Cocina hecho con altísima calidad y deliciosos! Estos alfajores se te hace agua la boca con solo verlos y son para cualquier hora del Día! La primera mordida te viene todo el sabor y la textura es muy suave y muy cremosos! No te puedes comer uno nada

    Simply the best empanadas in Portland made by a wonderfully sweet woman and her son. My new must have spot!!

    Coming from an Argentinian family it's difficult to find food that taste as good as mom makes, but Alecocina has for sure satisfied my search. Alecocina has surpassed my expectations with the cooks amazing skills. The empanadas are filled with flavor and the milanesa napolitana is incredible, definitely worth every penny. Will be back very soon! 10/10 :)

    This is a great little food cart with ample outdoor seating. The empanadas were homemade and delicious. She obviously makes her own dough and the fillings were very delicious. I will be back!

My ID, social security card, all my credit cards, jewelry, my other phone and my AirPods. The way the staff handled the situation and comforted me meant more than I can put into words. I was beyond grateful for their kindness, care, and compassion during such a stressful and upsetting situation. They packed up all of our food and gave it to us on the house, even brought me a blanket and wrapped it around me to help comfort me. One of the waiters even went with my husband to help look for my bag. If it weren't for him and the valet worker, who I believe was named Jacob, the situation would have been so much harder than it already was. Even before this happened, every time I've come in, the staff has always been so kind, welcoming, and professional. But after yesterday, I have an even deeper appreciation and love for this place. Not only is the food amazing, but the people here truly care about their customers. I will forever be grateful to their entire team for taking such good care of me during a difficult moment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Took a seat at the bar and was greeted promptly. Looked over the menu and decided on the smoked angels envy old fashioned. It was happy hour so I got the half wedge salad. Was not a traditional wedge but was really good. For my main I got the lomo saltado, mole rubbed steak tips with onions, peppers, French fries over rice. Was a wild mix of stuff. Steak pieces were pretty small but full of flavor and the sauce over the whole thing was delicious. Was worried the fries would be soggy but the sauce made them better. Sopped up the sauce with the rice and fries. Amazing. Asked for a margarita to go with the meal, seemed appropriate. Sat at the bar so service was good, kept water full and checked in repeatedly Was a great time and great food

That note aside, the Happy Hour menu was great, food was absolutely fantastic and the wait staff was on point! I loved the lineup of sexy NA drinks in addition to the unique cocktails and solid wine lineup. Unfortunately the acoustics were outdated as was the interior overall. It needed some freshening up for a Hilton. The outdoor seating could only accommodate groups of two which was a bummer. Those points aside, everything we sampled tasted fantastic and the wait staff made the experience fun.

    As a non-vegan, I have tried most of the flavors and have enjoyed almost all of them, the…read moreArgentinian "beef" being my favorite and the corn&parmesan being least favorite, kind of boring. My main critique is they are small and expensive. You can get 3 for 15.50 which I already thought was expensive but the next week I went back & it was 18.50 for 3, but you have to pay $2 extra for the chimichurri dipping sauce which is a kinda lame. I am a lighter eater but 3 barely fills me up so wouldn't be a sufficient meal for many. You can buy them frozen to bring home and cook tho for a bit cheaper.

    This review comes second-hand, as it was my wife who ordered from this cute little cart, but after…read moreshe got over how small her single empanada order was, and ordered a second to make a full meal out of it, she was a pretty happy camper. For the price (~$5/each), you get a piping-hot little pocket (NOT a Hot Pocket) of whatever goodies you want from the available choices: she ended up with a chorizo and potato, and a mushroom and goat cheese, the latter of the two being her favorite (I could have guessed: goat cheese anything is always a win). It's hard to beat the price, even if you're going to need 2-3 to fill you up; at least then you can try a whole selection of savory snacks, and really experience the variety of wonderful flavors here. If only more food carts had the option to sample multiple entrées in an almost a la carte fashion, like you can here at Masa, because I know that, many times, choosing just one option seems like you're missing out. If variety is the spice of life, then Masa is the spicy little seniorita making it all worth while!

    we had been wanting to try Salvador Mollys for a while now…read more we went on a Thursday around 6:15 pm and it was pretty dang busy! the parking lot is small so we parked across the street, worked out perfectly. the baja fish tacos deserve a 5/5. they were exceptional. the flavor was on point. the fried fish was DELISH. the fish was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside. i'd totally come back for those again and again. my partner got the sliders. they were a bit dry for bbq pork sliders. i love my sliders a bit saucy so i was disappointed they weren't a bit more sauced up. the coleslaw was yummy :) chips were salty and crispy. the guac was tasty and i liked the fire roasted flavor in the salsa. i added a lot of salsa to my fish tacos! i tried a bit of the Barbados mac and it was soooo cheesy! i had a few bites of the jambalaya too. it was a more toned down jambalaya than i am used too but good flavor nonetheless. the mango cheesecake bars were lovely too. not overly sweet and the mango really shined. they also gave us the bread pudding as a birthday dessert. the flavor was piña colada. i loved it. moist & flavorful with chunks of pineapple & coconut. i was truly impressed with it. prices were reasonable. decor and atmosphere were fun as well. for a neighborhood watering hole, i'd for sure go back for apps, drinks, and those delish fish tacos.

The burger was an actual hockey puck. We were not sure if it was meat or a burned black bean burger.....maybe the meat was rancid? We had many questions and were waiting for someone to come back outside to check on us. The table next to us also got served gross food and wanted to be comped for the meal. The manager came out and said rudely, "nobody ever has complained about the food", where our table then had to pipe in to say, "we haven't had our turn yet to tell you our burger is inedible". She looked at our table, did not acknowledge us, stated to the other patrons, "fine, you want the whole meal comped? FINE!" The waitress was so lovely that we weren't going to make a big deal, but after seeing how terribly the manager acted towards the other table with valid complaints, I asked for the inedible items to be removed from my tab. We made sure that the waitress received a tip that reflected the tab if it had included the removed items, and I vowed to never return. My family, who live in the neighborhood however, have a fondness for the restaurant and the owner. They plan to share their experience with him the next time they go. I worked in food service for many years. It's ok to have a bad night, but the manager needed to own that the crappy food and poison tasting cocktails fall under her responsibility; apologize, take the items off the tab and hope they don't write about their experience on Yelp because you did your due diligence to clean up the mess in real time. The manager chose not to have that experience with us, or others, eating there last night.
