Alright - i tried their ceviche last night. I hesitated for a very long time because why would i risk it on seafood when i KNOW their chicken is scary good? Fellas, try it at least once. It is also scary good. Hot, fresh tortilla chips, wild caught TODAY crab and shrimp, and fresh herbs. Everybody does ceviche a little differently but all i can say about Salvi is that they do it *right*. It goes without saying that their chicken is so good that finishing your plate is upsetting. Their sauce is incredible. Put your leftover sauce on your eggs. Put it on your baked potatoes. Try it as a crema with a little added lemon juice, drizzled over a salad. And the PUPUSAS. Peak comfort food. Somehow an incredible texture, like a warm embrace after struggling to navigate the world of gluten free restaurant flops. They absolutely deserve the price they charge, even if the price keeps us from patronizing them as often as we wish we could support them. let me be the one to say, as somebody with celiac, Salvi is an AMAZING restaurant to reserve for celebratory events. One day, i hope to pay Salvi to cater at a ceremony. read more

Get rid of the stupid QR code ordering! What a pain, especially as you need to place a separate order if you want beer. Their entry into Portland Taco Week 2026 was creative. The regular version was good, the veggie not so much. Where it kinda failed was in functionality as it was difficult to eat without a mess. Nice server. Bartender was very cool. read more

I swear I reviewed this place before but seemingly not. Best pupusas in town! I've come a few times for their Wednesday night pupusa deals. I love they have loroco as an option which is near and dear to my heart. Everything is fresh and super tasty! Be sure to read closely on the website when you order since there are sometimes things on the menu that aren't actually available. read more

Fried chicken! Do I need to say more? I am dairy and gluten free, and tbh I am not sure even when the last time I had fried chicken. I was happy to learn that Salvi can make decent fried chicken and meet my dietary restrictions. I think regular gluten and dairy eating people would be pleasantly surprised. It was noted on their menu that it will take at least 25 minutes to cook to order. No worries, you can enjoy a beer at GroundBreakers (highly recommend) or order in advance and pick up. Plenty of options, people. I did order Salvi's version of Frank's red hot sauce. It was good, but not sure if I would order again. Overall, this meal satisfied my craving. Ohh, and order fries because fries and fried chicken are a meal, and after running 11 miles earlier, I wanted to treat myself. Also staff is super friendly and f&ck ICE. read more

The pork and cheese pupusa was delicious, along with the sassy wings! My partner had the fish and chips and very much enjoyed them too! Highly recommend! Service was great and ambiance was very chill! read more

Super good food. Amazing staff, very friendly. The beer menu is very good too. It's a little bit difficult to order using the QR code, but the staff are very helpfu read more

This place sucked. The wait to get our pupusas was an hour, then it took another 10 minutes for our wings and chicken tenders, and it took another 15 for our fried chicken. The wings didn't have many options for sauces, and none of them were good. The area was very loud, and we had to yell to hear eachother. Multiple people who came after us got their food first, and our entire family was upset while waiting. read more

Being a Texas transplant, my husband and I have yet to find a decent fried chicken joint that we love. 10/10! Seriously, it was tender, juicy, yet stayed crispy! I'd come back for the fried chicken alone! Also had the HH pupusas revueltas. They were packed with filling, the masa was soft center crispy outside, and was brilliantly paired with the spicy salsa and curtido. Next time I'm in the city, I'll definitely be stopping here!! Staff was super friendly. Cozy environment, good vibes, even better music playlist. read more

Delicious pupusas and wings. Paired with drinks from Ground Breaker Brewing. A great place to hang with friends.

Not a fan. Fish and chips was very greasy and the ceviche was so bland....nothing like Panama ceviche:(

Strawberry cider so good and Kauana was great and Anne was great and I spent the whole time talking with Gabe about stuff lol read more

As a gluten free girl, this place was incredible! I can't remember the last time I had crispy fried chicken. It was perfectly cooked and the fried chicken was insanely good and the crunch was off the charts! The fries were perfect as well! We got 1 of each of the sauces and all I can say is 10/10. The service was amazing and the best gluten free fried chicken in Portland by far! I can't wait to try the fish and chips next! read more

New favorite place for pupusas in Portland. everyone was so friendly and Ground Breaker selection of drinks was good. SalviPDX also has Cola Champagne on the menu as an added Salvi treat We will be back to try more of the menu! read more

The gluten free breading of the chicken was really good! It was crispy and it actually clung to the chicken, which is hard to find with regular friend chicken. Would recommend for people looking for a dedicated gluten-free restaurant with gluten free beer. There's no cross contamination, either! read more

The fried chicken was incredible! Most flavorful meat i've ever had in an order. It's an overused statement, but you really won't be thinking Gluten Free at all while eating it. read more

Food was incredible - my wife has celiac and we both loved the papusas and fish & chips. Would highly recommend stopping by! read more

Love this place! amazing food. so yummy! The pupusita happy hour is a fav, but the fried chicken basket is also amazin.

Delicious and Gluten Free :) they also worked with the brewery to make a fantastic mango hazy IPA

Came here for Burger Week. Good service. Pretty big space indoors and several benches outdoor. I really enjoyed the papusa burger bun made for the burger. I ordered online first. There is a 3% credit card charge and then another 3.5% credit card charge ??? read more

We had the salsa and chips. Salsa had so much flavor. The pupusas were really flavorful. Highly recommend. Excellent service too.

So happy to find an all gluten-free food service, and they're located at a brewery! (A gluten-free brewery, too: Ground Breaker Brewing) The Hubs & I shared a few things: - 2-piece fried chicken, which was a drumstick & breast. The breading was deliciously seasoned & perfectly crispy. Fried chicken does take 25 minutes to prepare since they make it to order, but it's worth the wait. - vegan nachos, it was a large portion loaded with black beans, pico & pickled veggies - Pupusa, they have several options for these and we opted for the pork & cheese one. It was tasty and came with a tangled pickled slaw and some sort of sauce that was a very-thin tomato sauce. I think the sauce needed to be thicker as it was like a little cup of juice. You order online via the QR code at your table in the brewery and then they bring it out when it's ready. The guy that was bringing food out from the kitchen was very nice. read more

Wonderful custom service with the best pupusas in Portland! Prices are as good as the food!

got the pupusas and fried chicken and both were delicious. not even "good for gluten free" just actually good.

I am celiac and I have given up going out to eat /...and drinking! But this place has given me hope usually I can't find anybody who wants to go to a place thats gluten-free but my whole family went with me. The food was so delicious that when it hit the table, there was complete silence except for the sound of drooling. Their fish and chips are incredible ! I predict good things for their future . 2 thumbs up! Thank you thank you thank you! read more

Horrible service and a dirty restaurant. The food was not at all eatable. Avoid at all cost.

I have Celiac and I haven't had fried chicken in over 5 years since my diagnosis. I came to Salvi and had the best gluten free fried Chicken of my life. The atmosphere a 10/10, the staff a 20/10 and the food a 50/10. It blew my mind how delicious everything is and I will most definitely be back and will be taking my celiac friends as well!! Great job Salvi! read more
