Vegan Tacos
Amayah E.

Solid vegan tacos, you can add vegan sour cream for an additional charge. The service is fast and there's an area to sit in.

Torta

I got a carne asada torta and loved it! It was a lot of food, it came out fast, and it was tasty. Fast service and good indoor/outdoor space.

Great selection, this last time I enjoyed the nachos (sauces available, just ask!) they have plenty of protein options!! They offer a bowl rather than a burrito for us gluten free people! Portion sizes are normal & as expected. The service is always excellent!! This location is cozy & clean. In colder months I'd plan on just pick up because there is room for maybe 5 people inside. Parking is just on the street, you will probably have to park a block over.

Pretty sad asada tacos
Ailun H.

The reviews on Yelp and Google looked promising so my family and I came here to pick up nine tacos to go. They have all the basic meat staples and nothing more - pollo, carnitas, pastor, asada, maybe there was another one but I can't recall. Each taco is $2 and topped with onions and cilantro with salsa on the side. They don't give you limes here so if you wanted a squeeze of lime, you gotta go buy your own. Additionally, the tortillas here aren't corn, they're flour. The onions here are also cooked. Overall, these tacos were very small and an average person would probably need at least 6-7 to feel full. I got both pastor and asada tacos and couldn't tell what was more underwhelming. The meat on both were dry and flavorless - the salsa verde was OK but could not save the tacos overall. If you had me blindfolded, I'd probably struggle to distinguish the pastor and asada. Maybe tacos aren't the move here. I definitely would not recommend coming here for tacos when there are so many other nearby options.

The wet burrito did not disappoint. I love how stuffed the burritos are with lots of beans, rice, and soy curls. The red sauce is not too spicy either. The only thing I didn't like were the veggies on the side. I felt like the chopped cabbage, tomatoes, and cilantro were soggy.

We've come here for pickup orders and have been very pleased. My big thing is nachos and these are really good, fully loaded. The tacos are simple, but the chicken ones are the best - really tender chicken. We've tried the torta and burritos and have never been disappointed. Reasonable prices and food is ready on time. Can't complain about the portions or service. What's even better is that you can get items made vegan without sacrificing because they have many options. We'll be continuing to come here.

Uncut Torta, yay!
Benjamin T.

First time eating El Nutri Taco. I opened my torta and it wasn't cut. If I were at home no big deal but I was not at home. Second thing I noticed, zero limes or salas, what? Seems like two big oversights to me, not a great first look. The food is lightly seasoned, kind of simple. Is it going to satisfy that itch for deep SE Mexican food, no. Does it come close? Kind of? The best part is you don't feel heavy after eating it, I guess? I will give it one more shot and update my review if I have a better experience. The low rating isn't because the food was bad it's because they didn't pay attention to small details. Prices are normal.

Nachos
Helena S.

Love the vegan- vegetarian- and meat options. They were very kind and quick to bring out our food. Everything tasted fresh and I loved the pickled jalapeños on the nachos! They have outside seating and thankfully the evening was nice outside so we enjoyed the patio a lot. Will definitely visit again.

Chicken Fajitas were good but, it's a different taste from other places I've had it (my love enjoyed it he said it had a very authentic flavor). Rice (fluffy) and Beans (well seasoned) both were really delicious. Service~Pearlina was super sweet, knew the menu very well and, had exceptional service. She made sure we had everything we needed and, continue to check on us throughout our meal. Ambiance~It's has a very calming vibe and atmosphere. I love the fact they have a privacy strip on the windows (so no one walking by watches you eat). It's a family owned restaurant and, I would recommend giving them a try. I feel what we ordered was worth it but, everything (except water) has a charge. Only street parking and, lots of indoor/outdoor seating.

Ordering was quick, but the restaurant was fairly busy on a Saturday afternoon. We both ordered the carne asada taco plate. All the flavors were extremely mild. I could have used more seasoning on the meat for sure. The meat had a bit more chew to it. It was a bit tough. There was salsa brought out to top the tacos, but it didn't do anything to disguise the under-seasoned beef. The rice and beans were also under-seasoned. Overall, that seemed to be the theme. I would give my meal a 6.2/10. It's definitely an option if you are craving Mexican food and you happen to be in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way. Maybe we would have had better luck with another protein option!

Since moving to Portland about five years ago I had been wanting to go to Republica for a while. I…read moreavoided it because Republica only offered a tasting menu and there was always some ingredient or dish on the tasting menu that wasn't for me. Then one day a few months ago I was walking by and saw that they are open for brunch. And that dishes are under $20 for the most part. Cool, I'm in! It didn't disappoint. The thing that stands out to me most about Republica is that they just genuinely give a shit, and that really makes me happy. I think it's exemplified well by this carrot dish I posted a picture of. The owner explained to me how much goes into it: salt it, rest, roast, wait, soak in butter, wait 48 hours, do something else -- I don't remember exactly, but it's definitely a process. Carrots for brunch seemed odd to me at first but the menu sold me. There is a different menu each week and it includes something journal entry-like; something that explains the thought process behind the dishes that were selected. The owner seemed excited about the carrots, and I like to lean into dishes that the chefs are excited about, so I went with it, and it was great: textures, flavors, colors -- it all just worked well. It's not just the carrot dish of course. It feels like they take pride in everything they do and hit on a lot of small details. Example: they use avocado leaves when they cook the beans, similar to how you might use a bay leaf. It does something to the texture, breaking it down and making it easier to digest. I'm usually not much of a bean person -- I'm ok with them as a compliment to a dish but in isolation I find them too mealy and bland -- but these beans were actually really great. They were properly seasoned, had a nice hint of spice, and had a sort of rich, buttery mouthfeel. To be constructive, I will say that I didn't enjoy the mole negro. The owner did explain how it's meant to have a sort of charred flavor and shouldn't be overly sweet. I appreciate pursuing a vision, but I found the charred flavor to be pretty strong and unpleasant. It also wasn't really balanced by other flavors; the char was basically the only thing that came through for me. Maybe you need to be the type of person who enjoys black coffee to enjoy the mole negro. I don't like my coffee black. Overall, I think Republica is a fantastic place and would recommend it. The food is good, it's novel and creative, I think it's a great value at the price point it's served at, the ambiance is nice, wait staff courteous, and, my personal favorite -- there's an undeniable sense of craftsmanship. I'm excited to continue visiting.

I'm not really much of a Sunday brunch person, but I'd never had the brunch at Republica. I'd…read morewalked by Republica while exploring the downtown area on my way back to the hotel, but it was closed at the time. Thankfully, they had a menu posted by the entrance, which listed some intriguing offerings. As a result, the wife and I made 2PM reservations for brunch that Sunday and I'm so glad that we did. We were seated promptly upon our arrival. The dining room was largely empty since our reservations were late in their service. We started off with cocktails. Republica's brunch, thankfully, doesn't do bottomless mimosas, but it does do excellent cocktails. I had a La Michoacana ($13) made with Mexican rum, vermouth, orange liqueur, and citrus. It was refreshing, balanced, and a perfect daytime sipper. I'd describe Republica as serving a farm-to-table Mexican brunch focused on freshness and seasonality of ingredients rather than the usual suspects (think Chilaquiles and Huevos Rancheros) found on many brunch menus. The menu was concise, but offered plenty of delicious-sounding options. However, for us, we thought the "Let Us Feed You" tasting menu ($44 per person) was the only way to go. We received the following shared plates: Q'anxe Ik P'ak, Tomates En Salsa Verde Arabe, Arroz & Frijoles, Tacotes, Tostadas de Verano, Enmolada Divorciada, and Mole Manchamanteles. Each course was beautifully presented, vibrantly colored, and aromatic. Our food was equally vibrant and flavorful on our tastebuds. Republica's menu changes frequently based on ingredient availability and seasonality, so what we received on our visit will likely differ substantially for others. I cannot rave enough about Republica. It was the biggest, most pleasant, surprise and best bang for the buck value meal the wife and I had while we were in Portland. I highly recommend!

Inside is my favorite spot - the light is good, everything is nice, and it stays cooler in the hot months (won't everything be the hot months soon?). My friend loves eating outside - those adjustable, wall-mounted tables are great. I have only had four items from their menu: the bean torta (the first thing I bought and took to eat with a friend - so long ago I remember nothing!), the tostada (nothing that stands out, but definitely fresh), the burger (I got it without ham and it blew my mind!), and the Cart Bowl. Reader, there is something about that bowl that makes it almost impossible to order something else. I did those two times, but once I had tasted the Cart Bowl with their chicken and avocado, it was game over. For a while (3 years?), I came here with a friend every Thursday evening. Every Thursday I had the bowl. I never got tired of it. The way they cook their meat, the flavors of all the ingredients when combined, always tastes perfect. I have had their margaritas. They are really delicious!! They also have bottle and tap beer options. I usually come during the day, so try to resist the margarita (margarita = mid-day nap time), but I look at other people's longingly. It is first come, first seated. The weekday lunch rush can be frustrating, so don't come if you have limited time to get back to work.

We asked for the bean dip, but we found out when we received our bill that it's not complimentary anymore. Bummer. It was good, but not worth the extra $5. They were extremely generous with their chips and salsa, so in the end we were okay paying the extra $5. We ordered the chicken quesadilla and charbroiled burger. Both were great! Fresh ingredients.
