I'd opt for two pieces of chicken for just $3 more.
Andrew A.

Popular during lunch as it's a stone's throw from PSU. The tender chicken pops with flavor and I love the clumpy-textured rice. The four sauces/condiments were good too. Only the salad was meh, not bad, just unmemorable. Service is robotic, but pleasant. Atmosphere is sauna-like, no frills.

This is the current menu.
James M.

Found this place on Yelp. The chicken is flavorful and cooked to perfection. Their rice and salad round out the meal. Owners are friendly and take pride in their service and what they serve. Place is small.

Single Chicken
Karen P.

Stopped by here for lunch. I got the single chicken dish with arugula greens and coconut rice beans. I felt like the chicken was little dry but I did like the crispness of the chicken skin. Mine was pretty burnt though and that taste came through. The rice was delicious, super moist and I finished all of it! The greens were nothing special. I got the orange sauce, which wasn't spicy at all. Just like it sounds, it was a sweet sauce that paired well with the chicken and rice.

Amanda N.

Wowww yummy! I love soul food. This was something different. We ordered then picked up. Parking is street. It's a small place but packed with flavor. I asked for the top sauces. Everything was delicious. I just wish the chicken was a bigger portion. I'm not a huge rice person, so that's why. But loved the sides.

Chicken lunch!
Tricia O.

Ok this place is fire. For $11, you can get the most perfect lunch of chicken, rice, salad and fresh sauces. I was a vegetarian for 21 years so I get kinda weird out about eating meat sometimes, by which I mean if I get one bad bite, I'm off chicken for a month +. I was nervous that they serve thigh, as I've had bad experiences in the past, but man! This was hands down the best chicken thigh I've ever eaten. Yum! 10/10 recommend!

Double Chicken
Ploy N.

They aren't the biggest spot in town nor do they offer the most variety on their menu BUT they di what they do soso well. The Chicken Thighs were as juicy as they come. The rice with red beans was also super delicous. I like how balanced their plates are with the green salad and side slaw and sauces. Also, huge fan of their Coconut Curry. Slightly sweet and reminded me of Japanese curry. Would go for a bowl of that and some thighs next time. Quick and easy. Perfect spot for a nourishing lunch!

Double chicken just before adding the sauces.

I love places that do a few things incredibly well and that is Love Belizean. I could eat this every day.

This is a takeout-first joint, by the look and feel. Decent, if a bit overcooked, chicken. Mushy rice & beans. The salad is fine.

I attended an all-ages event at Que Dicee with friends and had a very disappointing experience…read moreregarding staff professionalism, communication, and how certain situations were handled. From the beginning, when I asked simple questions about drink pricing, the manager (Monica) responded in a rude and dismissive manner rather than providing clear information. At no point were we informed about a 21+ bracelet requirement upon entry, and I was not given one by staff responsible for distributing them. Later in the evening, my friends and I briefly entered the restroom together due to a line and were not aware that only one person was permitted at a time. Instead of calmly addressing the situation, the manager attempted to force open the bathroom door while my friend was using it. The situation escalated when we tried to close the door for privacy, but we complied once instructed to come out after my friend finished. Afterwards, when I asked why the manager had an attitude since our arrival, she grabbed at my bracelet and repeatedly entered my personal space while speaking to me aggressively. While I was speaking with another employee, Monica approached me from behind and made physical contact by intentionally bumping into me with her shoulder. An older male staff member also pushed a minor in our group while attempting to remove us from the venue, rather than calmly letting us know to leave. Additionally, another employee pushed my phone while I was trying to take a picture of the manager. The staff continued to laugh and joke about the situation. We did not deserve this treatment. At no point was it clearly communicated that we were required to leave. Staff began physically intervening after being directed by the manager to remove us. We were escorted out before the performance began, and no refund was provided. While I understand that they have rules and expectations for guests, I believe situations should be handled professionally and respectfully with clear communication and without physical contact to avoid escalations. Prior to this event happening me and my friends came in with positive fun energy and we were just trying to enjoy our night out. I have documented the incident with video, photos, and witness accounts and will be reviewing appropriate next steps. I did not have the opportunity to try the food, but based on this experience alone, I would not return or recommend this establishment.

Some bulletpoints because theres so much to say! - hubby…read moreloved his So Real cocktail. He said "would drink 10." - Dungeness Crab Bruschetta was so so good! We recommended it to the table next to us, and they liked it too! - Mushroom soup was so smooth and delicious! Perfect mushroom flavor without tasting like dirt. - Beef Tounge was not for me (I really hate capers ). Also was not a fan, personally, of Blood Sausage. Hubby loved both so if thats your thing, you'd probably really like them! - The rest of the Asado Argentina for Two was AMAZING! - I put the chimicurri on everything and they were so nice and brought me an extra bowl of it AND extra togo!! Thank you!! - The wine selection was incredible! I had the '21 Sangiovese and it was so so good. - Our server was very familiar with the menu and gave us such a good description of the specials and each dish we asked about! - The rest of the staff was very nice and they took away dishes and cleaned our table (literally wiped away crumbs) from previous ones so quick. - The overall vibe was so cool! I really want to sit outside next time we visit! I will be recommending this place to everyone from now on!

Oh, the joy of Ox…read more It's become a staple -- the kind of place that quietly works its way into your rotation and then suddenly holds weight in your personal ranking whether you meant for it to or not. As of right now, it sits at number one for my dad and a few of my friends alike. For me? I'm not ready to crown it just yet. I need a few more visits, a few more comparisons against my usual haunts. But it's up there. No question. When I first moved to Portland almost a year ago, this was one of the spots that kept coming up. Highly recommended, spoken about with a kind of confidence that usually means it's either overhyped or the real deal. We went for Mother's Day. Then again for Father's Day. My parents loved it -- the kind of love that doesn't need explanation -- and honestly, I get it. The service is immaculate. Thoughtful, attentive, but never hovering. You feel taken care of in a way that's increasingly rare -- like the front of house actually wants you to have a good time, not just turn the table. There's a real sense of pride in what they're doing. The team feels aligned, almost symbiotic. Front of house lifting up back of house, back of house delivering in a way that makes that support feel earned. Whether that relationship is perfect behind the scenes or not, it reads as seamless from the outside. And the food -- it's just excellent. Cooked perfectly, consistently, without unnecessary theatrics. No foams, no gels, no overworked plating trying to prove something. Just honest, confident cooking over fire. The kind of food that reminds you how good simple things can be when they're done right. It's indulgent in the best way. The kind of meal that might even tempt a few vegans back to the dark side -- at least for a night. It's not cheap. Let's be clear about that. I don't go here casually, and I'm not pretending I do. Thanks, Mom and Dad. But it's the kind of place that's worth saving up for -- not just for the food, but for the experience. For some people, this might be a random Wednesday night. For most of us, it's something you plan for. And when you do, it delivers. It's special without making a big deal about being special. And that's exactly why it works.

Came over for the first time to celebrate my birthday with a few friends. We were meeting for…read moreHappy Hour and was surprised how big the lounge area was. There were many large seating area available. One main cedar table was a big attraction. There is a fireplace with a table by it We got a table. I ordered a Borgona, fruit puree juices mix with Sprite. Never had one, but sounded really good. It came and it was delicious and fruity for a mocktail. We ordered a shrimp ceviche and octopus skewers to start out with. The Shrimp Ceviche was very delicious and it was something that I was very happy to share it with my friends. It was a big portion of shrimp cocktail with salsa on the bottom and these large sized blue chips. It was so good that we ate it quickly. Octopus skewers was a tad charred. Yet very delicious especially if you eat it with the pineapple together. Brings out the flavor of the pineapples quite well. We ordered the Pork Belly Tacos and Mole Shrimp Tacos which came in 3. I absolutely loved street tacos filled with good fresh ingredients. And both of these hot the spot. The pork belly was an absolute great flavor of the pork belly. The Shrimp was delicious. Cook perfectly and easy to devour quickly. DeFuego Nachos had Jalapenos. But wasn't listed. The nachos were delicious and it was quickly devoured. Wings came in 4 wings with garlic parmesan with carrots and celery and ranch on the platter. Heavily garlic on the wings yet very delicious. Half wedge salad was a surprise how much there is in the salad. A lot of fresh veggies there with cherry tomatoes and sliced radishes in it. I had a absolutely fun experience celebrating my birthday here. DeFuego had Happy Hour from 3pm to 6pm, seven days out of the week. Seems the Happy Hour here is very popular. You have 21 appetizers to choose from on the Happy Hour Menu. There are Mocktails, and any drinks you want available. Definitely will come back again.

Shoot. Last night I took my boyfriend here to celebrate a special event & we left so disappointed!…read moreWe got there at 7:15 & we were stuck there for over 2 hours! I ordered 2 things and both came out wrong. Our waitress spoke very loudly and we could hear her having long personal conversations with people a couple tables away from us for 10+ minutes at a time, several times. While we waited for her, we ran out of water a few times and I had to ask for more. It was over an hour before our order was even taken. We did flag her down to order an appetizer, brussel sprouts with cheese on the side due to a dairy allergy, but... the sprouts came out with cheese on them. They corrected this fairly promptly, but then we sat for another 45 minutes before our order was actually taken. I ordered a steak as "somewhere between medium & medium well" and she correctly repeated my order back to me "medium/medium well." When the steak came out, it was WELL well done. Like, burnt. I wanted to send it back, but I didn't want to deal with the embarrassment or have to wait even longer for food. We were about an hour & 45 minutes into dinner by the time we got our food. I was so disappointed! I also wanted to get dessert to celebrate the occasion but the service was SO slow that we had to cancel our after-dinner plans. We ordered it anyway & requested the check promptly, giving up on our plans for the rest of the evening. We were only a party of 2, we arrived early for our reservation, & we watched several larger parties come and go while we waited for our order to even be taken. It was a Wednesday night and not overly busy, there were several empty tables, so I'm not sure what the hold up was. We were also seated at an odd table next to the kitchen with a small divider between us and the staff. It was noisy and I even heard 2 staff members exchange a joke about how someone else had left & said they'd never come back. They laughed about it. I wish I had the guts those people had to get up & leave! I've never once left less than a 20% tip and felt immense guilt not tipping well, but after experiencing the poor service then also hearing the staff blatantly acknowledge it & not care.... I was appalled. The Hilton bought the hotel attached to De Fuego and I'm shocked. This was a Monarch hotel before and I'd assume that the Hilton's standards would be higher but the service and quality here have tanked hopelessly low since the acquisition. I had a similar experience at The Underground before it closed. I've learned my lesson & won't come here for a special occasion again.
