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

Bad Hostess – Several of my co-workers have taken clients to Nuestra Cocina & swear by the food. I thought I would give it a try and see what the fuss was about. Upon arrival, the hostess told us we would need to wait 45 minutes to an hour, at the worst. We got a bottle of wine & sat outside on the patio. More than an hour had passed without word, so we went inside to check the status of a table. Our table was "almost ready" so we continued to wait. After 1 hour and 45 minutes (9pm), we finally got seated. Having been strung... read more

Perfecto! – Nuestra Cocina provides a unique experience if you sit at the kitchen bar. You can socialize with the chefs as they prepare your dinner. The food is rich and wonderfully prepared. The wait can be long - come prepared to enjoy a margarita while waiting on their outdoor patio. The menu is simple and changes slightly with the season, but each item is delicious.

Nuestra Clos-ina – We were indeed looking forward to our well-planned evening at this restaurant, after reading so many enthusiastic reviews. Unfortunately, after battling parking and wintery wind in this urban neighborhood, we found the restaurant CLOSED. It was an ordinary and early Sunday evening, so it is surely recommended to phone ahead for reservations and check for special "family" hours. Disappointing.

Okay, but over rated – After seeing Nuestra Cocina listed in Portland Monthly as one of the two best Mexican restaurants in town, we immediately went to try it out. It was prime time and we had to wait an hour for a table. But even in the autumn the covered, outside seating area with space heaters was pleasant. As others have said, the appetizers and drinks were good enough, but all six in our group agreed the main courses were bland and nothing special for the price. I also thought it was a little miserly to charge us for t... read more

Amazing Mexican food – The food and drinks are always excellent here. Also the wait staff are great as well. Favorites are the specials, margaritas, sangria and the hot tortillas...Can be a bit pricey for what you get, you won't leave here "stuffed". But we've always been happy. Can't get enough of those home made tortillas. Wait staff are very friendly and enjoy their suggestions as well as the bartender who is a great guy. (We've run into one hostess who was a pain but that was only once). Great special night out or just w... read more

Amazing Night – It was a perfect place for us as we were not in a hurry, and the wait staff let us take our time. The margaritas were terrific (both the traditional and the spicy were great), as were the food (two appetizers and we split a main course) and ambience. We sat above the kitchen, watching them prepare the food, and it was a real treat. Will go back as often as time allows...

Amazing Appetizers – Nuestra Cocina has the most amazing appetizers, margaritas and sangria I have ever had. From the Black Bean Chorizo to the Pulled Pork Tacos, everything we sampled on the menu was delicious. The Margaritas are outstanding, flavorful and fresh, and the Sangria is refreshingly complex. We ordered three desserts all of which were wonderful.
