Easily the best empanadas we've had and Portland has good food. And your cilantro sauce is sooo tasty! We miss you and wish we lived closer

Dipping sauces that accompany the order are as follows: (1) is hot and (1) is mayo based. I'm allergic to eggs. Call before you go looking for them as the wife will let you know where they are. She was sweet & called me back when I got the voicemail. Husband is super sweet as well. This was my 1st visit as I've had to miss them a few times during the Frmer's Market because they sold out. I will return as we have a GROUPON to use. So then, I'll let him know no egg with my beef.

I didn't know what to think at first because when you enter the establishment you walk through a mini market, but then you are seated at a nicely decorated Mexican restaurant.

One was cauliflower, another fried fish and another was shrimp and we also got chips and guac and a house-made marg. Everything was delightful! My friends all greatly enjoy their meals as well. Definitely recommend this place!

This is why restaurant week can be a plus for the restaurant because we will return. We went with friends for Sunday lunch. It wasn't too busy. The service was fast and friendly. Two tried the empanadas one beef and one Hawaiian. Both were good. The others tried the fried plantains with guac on the restaurant week menu. Very good. Three got the roasted quarter of a chicken which had a unique spice and was a hit. I got the pork which was very thin and a bit dry. The green sauce helped. The Tres Leche cake was excellent as was the thin waffle and jam dessert - very unique and tasty. The regular menu is huge. We will return.

The flavors lacked the depth and punch you expect from good Peruvian cuisine, and nothing on the plate felt memorable. With another Peruvian option in the area, it's hard to justify spending time or money at Mishqui. If you're craving Peruvian food, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Pikkito in Middleton is a far better choice and actually delivers on flavor and authenticity. Overall, this is an easy one to skip.
