"I ordered take out, and the short time my food was on my passenger seat the smell was taunting me. As soon as I got home I dug into my meal, and not a single bite disappointed. Spicy, but flavorful. Savory and bright. Can't wait to try everything on the menu."

"One of my favorite new places for when I come to Portland. Amazing taste, variety of options and a friendly and chill atmosphere. The 3 for $12 empanadas are a great place to start!"

"Quiero Cafe is a welcomed Latin inspired restaurant in the heart of Portland. Stopped in with my partner for lunch and ordered right away. It’s super cute on the inside, very clean, and easy to find a table after ordering for two. We got the two veg options for empanadas, tostones, yucca fries, and rice and beans. Everything was extremely flavorful and nicely presented. We had food to bring home as well, which was a bonus. I can’t wait to go back to Quiero Cafe and I highly recommend visiting if you live in Portland AND/OR are visiting. Thanks, Quiero Cafe!!"

"Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, and the best churro I've ever eaten! We will definitely be coming back here 💖💖💖"

"This is a no frills, order at the counter kind of place, which is fine. My adult son had a burrito that was a hefty portion, and he said it was good. I had a carne empanada and a chorizo empanada. We both had water to drink (not bottled), and the total was $30+. I recognize it's Portland, ME, but really? My empanadas were just okay, with crusts that were nothing to write home about. The carne one had no flavor, but the chorizo filling was tasty with some good spice. Would I go again? The food wasn't worth the price, so probably not."
