Pambiche, Portland

This is one of my favorites in town!! Haven't had one thing there that I haven't liked - the picadillo empanadas are amazing!

some of the best food in portland!!! id eat there daily if i could. it is well worth the wait anytime!!

What a huge disappointment! After waiting outside in the colf for nearly 40 minutes my party finally took our seats an the scant 300 square foot dining area. The waiting staff was friendly but the service was poor. They attempted to make suggestions and talk of the food, none of which seemed to help. When the food arrived it was bland and some was even luke warm to cold. Had there been some type of Cuban music in the background, I could have imagined myself as an adult living amongst Castro's communist society as I picked around at my rather bland and uninspiring Arroz Compllo. Overall this place was way over rated and way over priced. For a group of four, the final tab was nearly $120.00., which wouldn't have been a big deal if the food and service was much better than what it was. I think once is enough for me at Pambiche and I'll try Cuban food the next time I get to Miami. Give it up Portland!

Went there yesterday for lunch, WOW! such a little restaurant with HUGE pleasantries! My husband and I were very impressed. The food was fabulous and so was the service. The staff was extremely friendly and the housemade Sangria was delicious! I have all ready recommended it to all my friends. Definately a must go to for great food.

awesome, simply awesome, the mango fruit drink is delicious and the shrimp dish is to die for :)

Pambiche is an absolutely wonderful tiny cuban cafe with really nice wait staff and fantastic food! Very cozy and can be hard to get a seat inside, but has heated outdoor seating and totally worth it! Breakfast served til 2PM during the weekend!

This little place serves up big when it comes to flavor, portion, value, ambience, true-to-the-heart ethnic dishes, and the most beautiful pastry case your eyes can possibly take in. A great restaurant choice for celebrating with family, with a bunch of good friends, or for date-night...though go early, or else be willing to wait in line. Your wait will be well rewared! Can we spell Y-U-M, people?

Combining the best of latin-creole cuisine and American fare, Pambiche provides the ambience of a upscale cuban cafe. You'll get the basics from rice and beans to tantilizing chicken and pork dishes. And if you've been really good, treat yourself to the authentic deserts that will make you want to slap your dietician for suggesting such deliciousness is not OK!
