SE Portland Restaurants

Nuestra Cocina

2135 SE Division Street
It’s hard to tell from the street, but you’re in for some of the city’s best Mexican food. Think about some of the great tacquerias in town. Now crank up the style factor and add a full bar and inspired dinner menu. Nuestra Cocina packs diners in, despite their strict no-reservations policy. What are they clamoring for? For starters, it’s fresh-made tortilla chips with seviche or queso fresco. Dinner can be thinly-sliced steak with a spicy chile sauce or pork tamales. Whatever you do, don’t miss dessert.
