    Margherita and fries
    Amy C.

    Im reviewing their happy hour. Their happy hour menu was small, the four of us ordered 4 food items off their happy hour menu and the special margarita. Red hotdogs, fries, empanadas and a puposa. All of those were just OK. The fries were soggy and the hotdogs meh. The star was the margarita. This is a place to drink, not eat. It was very quiet in the bar as it was pretty early. They have a dj and dancing that starts at ten. Its probably fun place to come drink and dance, just eat before you go.

    New bar right in the same building as Wilson's and Batson's. The redo of the space is amazing. They even have a balcony with bar seats and a bar will be going up there shortly. The drinks were okay but the vibe was better. On Friday and Saturday it turns into a night club feel where you can dance. We didn't try any food but I will be back to try. Overall a great new space in this area that I think will keep getting busier.

    Dips for the toston with pulled pork

    Checked out this new place snuggled in beside Wilson's BBQ in Portland. Still fairly new open just 2 months but will be a great spot out with friends. They are building a tiki bar upstairs with a separate bar. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bar tender, new to Portland but friendly and drinks were mixed perfectly: fun Latin food arepas, Tostons, street corn and fun hot dogs. If you are a tequila fan, this is the perfect stop for you.

    Great tapas spot in the downtown area! Had such a lovely waiter too during our visit. Liked all the…read moresavory dishes too, each with its own distinct taste! Ranking: 1) Spicy beef salad 2) Suckling pig 3) Pinkytoe crab 4) Lobster pasta 5) Bone marrow toast The desserts were nothing special but I did like the strawberry white chocolate one. The rhubarb one was meh personally; tasted like yogurt I could eat from the grocery store.

    We were happy with the service and speed at which the small plates were delivered to us however…read morethere was a small instance where we got a dish we didn't order (not pictured and it was the special). The lemon sole (fish) and octopus carpaccio (not pictured) were filled with flavor! The pork belly was very underwhelming and I would not order again. The waiter said 2-4 plates per person. I recommend starting on the lower end and adding additional dishes based on how you're feeling. The amount of food was very different from dish to dish. For example the tuna dip had way too much bread and the pork belly was very small in size. Overall I was half impressed. I wish the staff would take a moment to announce the plate as it's placed next to you or point it out on the menu for those hard of hearing and wanting to know what they are about to enjoy. However the music, overall restaurant vibe and half the dishes exploding with flavor made my experience pleasant and I will return again knowing a bit more of what to expect and looking at photos of the menu/meal options beforehand.
