Reservation confirmation said, that door opens at 6:30pm and dinner service starts at 7pm. Phew, I'm sometimes bad with predicting the traffic patterns, so that gives you a little cushion. AND I arrived at 6:30pm on the dot. Ha! Plenty of street parking, but I wasn't sure I was in the right place since there was no sign. But, the building's number is clearly marked. So I stepped inside. There was music playing from the back of the building and I just kept moving towards the music. After 2 doorways, my husband remarked it was like we were entering a speakeasy. We stepped into a living room and proceeded through another doorway to find an open kitchen and jaw dropping red alder dining table. Standing in the kitchen was Chef Riley Eckersley and he greeted us like we were old friends. He had a couple of cocktails ready to pour and explained his concept of his place that has only been open for 3 weeks. Imagine an intimate dinner party (6 guests the night I was there) gathering for conversation while being taken on a culinary journey around Oregon. Throughout the evening, every detail was carefully curated, from the ingredients (from the coast to the mountains, he covered every corner), to the plating, music, and drinks (everything from mezcal, sake, orange wine, etc). The whole experience lasts 2 1/2-3 hours and I enjoyed every minute. I will certainly return as the menu changes with the seasons of Oregon. We began the evening as strangers, and ended as close friends.

The food was beautifully prepared and delicious, with a lovely table setting and company. The only thing I was warn people is that a couple of courses my evening was spicy, which is fine for me, but maybe not everyone.

The flautas delivered an exceptional crunch with a lot of filling - alongside their lettuce and sauce that just made the dish amazing. The guacamole tostada was to die for. It's refreshing and very unique and complex in flavor. The sashimi was very fresh and beautifully presented. I think I could have lived without the Hokkaido Scallops and the Ceviche, but they were still fresh nonetheless.

Their beverage service seems to be a bit of a cluster as people wanted something while waiting so went to the bar inside which they initially served people but then they started telling people you couldn't order there so would need to wait in the hourish line again for something (ie if you wanted something after ordering your food or like a modelo cause they moved them all from the inside bar to the outside). Probably had the worst tasting Hazy ipa ever from their interior bar as they would only allow cans for the exterior after saying they wouldn't serve the exterior people (much of what they said didnt make much sense and seemed like they just couldnt handle doing that many orders although the interior was only a couple patrons). Took about 30 min to get food. They say they sell out but seems like they just put up the sign and post that on ig once the line length will take them to closing (ie about an hour to hour half line from 8pm). Foods good but seems poorly managed creating waits and wasn't really that busy compared to other places of similar menus.

This is elevated mexican food so you won't find any burritos here and many dishes are seafood, three dishes (empanditas and quesadilla, hongos/mushroom main) provide vegetarian options. The menu is two sections, appetizers to share (most easily shared 2 people per dish as they come with 2 tostaditas) and a shared larger dish section of a protein with accompaniments big enough for 2-4. Order from the wine menu by trusting your waitstaff - you can get half pours to try more from the well curated list. Dishes are flavorful and fun and you'll want to leave no drop of salsa behind.

Those who know... Know…read more We first got to know chef Lauro Romero's work at República, then at La Fondita, which filled a very special place for us as transplants from Mexico who missed the food from home and loved his elevated take on it. This new project replicates the magic but keeps the approachability that we loved so much about La Fondita, this time in an evening format. Expect a family style dinner with Mexican staples like cochinita and carne asada, elevated with exquisite salsas and handmade tortillas that have real nixtamalized heirloom corn. If you don't know what wine to order, ask--and you might get a chance to taste before you commit to the full glass. Or order a half glass and create your own wine pairing menu. You might think that a chef with a heritage like Lauro Romero might break the bank, but you would be wrong. We paid about $120 for multiple courses + desert for two. While I don't have a problem paying top dollar for good food, and Clandestino could easily be that kind of restaurant, I appreciate the philosophy of keeping elevated food relatively affordable. How else are Portlanders going to learn what the real thing tastes like? Of course, there are some small things they are still working out as a new restaurant. I would have liked to see some Mexican wines on the list, and it's unfortunate they only open Monday-Wednesday. But all in good time. Meanwhile, we will be taking advantage of the fact that it's still relatively easy to get a table and sharing this place with people we know will appreciate it for what it is.
