Carioca Bowl with Peanut butter
Asha B.

Loved the vibes here. We were craving healthy acai bowls and this place does not disappoint! THE FOOD We ordered two Carioca Bowls, one with added peanut butter. They were both densely packed with nutritious ingredients. The fruit was super fresh and tasty and the acai was delicious. Loved the honey roasted granola as well. THE ATMOSPHERE Very serene and tropical. Loved the kitchiness and all the décor. One a nice day, the outdoor area would be a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Inside there are a couple of rooms to sit and enjoy tea/coffee and conversation. THE SERVICE Very nice service staff and great conversation. I would recommend and plan to come back and try more of their menu offerings.

I really liked this place! A favorite part of travel to Hawaii is an acai bowl, but it's some something I've seen often in Portland. The bowls were loaded with fresh fruit and really all around tasty. Was just counter service, so not much to say, but the seating area is like a cozy house. Nice vibes and the kind of place you could relax and chill for hours.

Power bowl, breakfast Sammy, honey matcha, avocado toast, rose city bowl.

Tried the avocado toast, the sausage breakfast sandwich, the iced honey matcha, the power bowl, and the rose city bowl. My friend got something with coconut and almond butter. Everything was SO amazing! The bowls all had distinct different flavors which was nice because most açaí bowls all taste very similar. The fruit was very fresh and they had so many good toppings which really made their menu large and unique. The hot food was also super delicious and fresh, made to order and quick service. Not from here but would love to come back to try more from their huge menu!

Eclectic hippie spot for delicious acai bowls! The menu is extensive with plenty of options for customization (I recommend researching before going). The acai bowls were dense and nutritious with a generous amount of toppings. I ordered the ultra bowl and added blueberries! The acai is not too sweet and the fruit toppings were ripe. I love the almond butter they use! Superbly nutty and not too oily. I would avoid the cheese bread. It was a bit too chewy, spongy, and pale. The acai shines here. Expect to pay $14-18 for a medium size acai bowl and $4-8 for a drink. Street parking is plentiful. Service is friendly but can be a bit slow.

Carioca bowls was absolutely incredible! We all finished every last drop of our bowls. The ingredients are fresh and so tasty, you can tell how much thought is put into the ingredients. The owner Richard and his dog Tozi are both incredibly kind and welcoming. The seating area is cozy and has a great energy with the beautiful plants. This is a gem and a must try!

Acai Oatmeal Bowl
Thuy N.

Staff is friendly and helpful. Spacious and cozy area to have a catch up with friends over a great cup of chai/coffee with declious small bite or filling bowl of deliciousness. Give the warm and savory menu a try! It's new and our favorites the açaí oatmeal bowl, plantain stuff guava and topped with melted cheese! Oh and don't forget to try the house made chimchurri sauce on avocado toast!

A blessing in a bowl!

I've always wanted to try one of these açai bowls ended up getting a 20% off coupon at Forge hot yoga's, yoga in the park event so I decided to try them out and oh my goodness amazing everyone needs to try one of these. They also cater the for hot yoga, yoga in the park events pretty often so if you attend a yoga class in the park, you could get an opportunity to try one of these bowls if you're lucky.

I've come here two times since I've discovered it on TikTok and absolutely love it. There's much more seating outside (which is perfect for the summer and sunnier days, although not the best for rainy days), however, there's still plenty of seating inside too! The cafe is brightly colored and gives off a very fun, casual vibe. The first time I went, I made my own bowl. However, after trying my friends' already curated bowls (ie. the carioca), I decided to do the same when I went my second time--and I highly recommend doing the same if you don't have any strong preference. The pre-curated bowls are so filling. They have great portions and the toppings match so well with the blends they provide. I loved all the toppings and the different blends they offered. This is such a light, but filling way to start your day and I think it's the best acai spot in Portland.

The cheese puff rolls are so addicting good. They are chewy and I love that texture. The açaí bowls are topped with fresh fruit. The medium bowl is on the small side. Half of the bowl is placed the smoothie, the other half is the granola. Most people don't know that there aren't fresh açaí in the US - all acai bowls are made from frozen ingredients. This place also have coffees and tea available. Service is good. The ambience is very down to earth with lots of wood furniture, suitable for the tropical field. Good amount if seats and natural lighting.

Cute açaí bowl place! Their bowls are delicious and fairly large! Their fruit ingredients are really fresh too. Their cheesy bread too is a fun and delicious snack to try out! Speaking of the interior it's really cozy with a small dining area that's decorated with lots of plants! They even come bring out the açaí bowls to you when you eat in. I would recommend you come check it out!

The classic, medio
Pauline T.

What a cute spot (it looks like a house) to get a refreshing and filling açaí bowl. I had a great experience with the staff and the food was delicious. One medio bowl was just the right amount for me. The Brazilian cheese balls are a MUST have here. A nice pairing with the bowl and they also have vegan options as well for the ball.

I'm a fan of this shop and have been for years, as you can see by previous review from 3 years ago. They do açai bowls right and the location is pretty neat too. I stopped by recently for their 7th anniversary - they were giving out free bowls to the first 25 people in line that day and doing discounts and giveaways all day. They post promotions like this on occasion on their social media - worth following to find out what they've got going on. My go-to order has changed since I last left a review, and my appreciation for açaí has grown, though the toppings are still delicious. I usually now go for their signature Carioca bowl. If it's good enough to be named after the place, or vice versa, then it's good enough for me. Like most things, costs have increased over the years. Right now their "medio" size bowls range from $10-12, and the "grande" size from $13-15. I also really enjoy their Brazilian cheese bread. It's only $1.50 for one, or $8 for six. They have a second location in Slabtown, but I've only been to this Alberta St location. I still find it as charming as ever, with the many plants and the great outdoor seating.

Ashley D.

SUCH a good find. The place had plenty of seating where I stayed and read my book as I ate my bowl. The price is good for an açaí bowl. The fruit was so fresh and the base was delicious.

And they were pretty good, but clearly lacking the flavor fully marinated meat flavors that tacos are famous for. BUT -! Tonight my dreams came true when I ordered -- and promptly devoured -- the vegan carne asada taco. Never have my taste buds danced with such ecstatic bliss as when savoring this bliss of spicy sabrosa-ness! Next I sampled the 3 Hermanos Empanada-- the interior was and cashew crema was delicious...and here is my only critique: the masa-based "pastry" (that enfolds the interior) was too heavy and dense. Now, truth be told my standards are epically high for empanadas, as I come from THE OTHER PORTLAND (Maine) and, as odd as this sounds for such a white-bread state, the best empanadas I've ever eaten (and there is a long list of empanada places I have eaten in NYC and SF) is in Portland Maine (it's called Quiero, and for good reason). So if I could conjure the greatest empanada ever made, it would involve the pastry shell from Quiero in Portland Maine with the interior 3 Hermanos filling from Mis Tacones in PDX. Mic drop, I'm out! Ps. Incredibly colorful, arty and fun interior. Pps. Cute queer staff who steered me right and are definitely flirt-worthy.

I'm definitely neither a vegetarian nor someone who appreciates vegetarian/vegan places that rely only on firm plain tofu or some other reformed soy products carby patty things as their protein source. So when I go to a vegetarian or vegan restaurant, I tend to order dishes where I can still see and recognize the actual ingredients. I was very happy with my calamari (oyster mushroom rings). The crust was crunchy and savory, it almost felt like eating flavored chips or other crunchy snacks like the Korean brand onion ring snacks. Inside the mushrooms were well cooked, they were hot and juicy. As a lover of savory crunchy snacks and mushrooms, this dish had me at the first bite, and I didn't even need the dipping sauce (but the sauce was good though). I finished the whole plate! My partner is a vegetarian, and he loved his bowl. I had one bite of it. The chicken popcorn looked quite real, but I still prefer real chicken popcorn. The gravy potato was a bit plain and light for my liking, but then again, I'm not someone who seasons food with only salt and pepper and put mayo and ketchup on everything, so you can be your own judge there. The ginger lime soda was super refreshing, zesty and icy, and it was perfectly sweetened to my taste. Staff were friendly and nice, indoor was warm and bright. Definitely a place worth to come back for the mushrooms and drink!

I came with three friends for lunch; we all placed individual orders then took our numbers (on a small standup sign) back to our table to chat and enjoy the day. Soon food came for the two men in our party, and we women encouraged them to eat rather than wait on our food. So eat they did, and in another 10 or so minutes more food arrived, but not my order. After a short discussion we realized that my food had been given to one of the men, and he had eaten it; now the food he actually ordered arrived, leaving him with two meals and me with none. Our server seemed to think it was our fault that we got the wrong food, and brought me a roti to eat but never replaced my meal. I was not pleased to have spent $17.50 for a serving of roti, which wasn't exactly the lunch I had paid for. I think i wpuld have liked the food if I'd had a chance to eat what I ordered. it would be most appropriate for the restaurant to refund my money since, through no fault of my own, I did not receive the food I paid for. It was the server who mistakenly put my food down elsewhere, and my friend who ate it had no idea it wasn't his. Unfortunately there was not so much as an apology, and I won't be returning to Mirasata.
