About this business
One of the more refined Mexican dining experiences in the city, Nuestra Cocina brings a diverse menu of specialties spanning the central Mexico's renowned culinary palate with some lesser-known influences from other regions. The aroma of freshly prepared food wafting from the kitchen beckons you to the vibrant dining room teeming with the boisterous energy of kitchen staff and conversations among the lively crowd of patrons. The wooden ceilings with mounted antique-looking lamps provides good contrast to the colorful interio... read more

Good food - try the ceviche. – One day I was craving ceviche. So I came to Yelp, typed in ceviche & Nuestra Cocina was one of the places that came up. After reading all the great reviews, we decided to give it a shot. We did have to wait a bit for a table, but we were able to chill at the bar and have some drinks while waiting. Once we were seated, we ordered the Ceviche of the Day and it definitely satisfied my craving. My husband order lamb shoulder for his entree and I ordered carnitas - both were excellent. We also enjoy... read more
Warm Tortillas remind me of Abuela – I love this restaurant! The fresh made warm tortillas are alway tasty. The staff is very accomodati8ng and friendly. Their twist to familiar recipes are so wonderful, I am very happy to see a restaurant serving Latino foods that are not smothered in cheddar cheese!
Food is Good...but – Good Food and Menu, but average service and it was LOUD the two times we've been there. We would go more often if it was in a better location.
Sub par service, good food – Tried a neighborhood recommendation last week and while it has unique fresh food you can't help but be soured by a host with no interest in really seeing where you order is as those next to you are seated after you, order an appetizer and drink (like us) and are finished with their meal before ours is served. no apology, no its coming right up just a "they ordered an appetizer and thats why theirs is out first" We ordered appetizers too and that is no excuse. Thats the last we saw of our host. Gu... read more
Best food and service in Portland! – This restaurant is an absolute gem. I've been almost ten times and it amzes me every time. From the spicy chile infused tequila margaritas to the daily ceviche, to the open kitchen with friendly chefs, nuestra cocina is a one of a kind experience. My favorite restaurant in Portland by far.
Favorite restaurant in Portland - always great! – I have been to Nuestra Cocina so many times and always have a great experience. It has a pleasant "nice casual" atmosphere with friendly, helpful servers. The pretty, warm-colored dining room is relaxing and pleasant. The bartender is great and the chile-infused margarita is deliciously spicy. It is so homey to sit down and enjoy those little handmade tortillas. Some of my favorites - any fish special (don't even think about it, just get it, you won't be sorry) the albondigas... read more
Great food! Great staff! except Christina – I go to this restaurant often, I love the place. But, every once in awhile I have the misfortune of being served by Christina. Wow! She is possibly the worst server I have ever seen. I have had to wait many times at least 15 minutes just for her to stop by the table and even longer for a drink order or for apps. Several times other staff have had to take meal orders and most often deliver them to my table. Why Is this girl still working in such a great restaurant?
Better than most – Growing up in LA and frequenting Tijuana, I found the best Mexican food to be at hole in the walls, carts, food trucks, etc. It's just one of those cuisines that?s best when cheap. However, there's only one such place in Portland that offers excellent fare: little dive next to a market on Fremont and 84ish. Anyway, for the upscale variety, Nuestra Cocina outshines Authentica, Toro, Cha Cha Cha, and a host of popular mid-range establishments. Thanklfully, this is not a #2 special with rice and beans kinda p... read more
harried and busy constantly – Food is good, but expensive, just know that you are going to have to drop some cash to truly enjoy this place. Also note that portions are small. They are busy, busy, busy. We usually get seated promptly...each employee seems to be doing the best that they can, but the place is usually packed and everyone is running around like crazy. It is not a relaxing experience by far, you are encouraged to eat as fast as possible. It is not a place to go if you want to sit and enjoy your meal.
