Reviews for Pambiche in Portland, OR
nice cuban food. we had the fish sandwich and it was great to split. the patio outside was huge and there were lots of good... doggies lounging around. Read more
I was excited to try this restaurant. The food looks great on the reviews and when it is in front of you. However, I was a... little disappointed after a few bites. I tried the Plato Cubano. The presentation is great, but the food kinda lacks flavor.With all that said, I think the Hot Chocolate was great. Maybe I'll go back and try something else in the future. Read more
I have been going to Pambiche for years (well over 10 years) and I have never been so disappointed. They got rid of the oxtails... which was one of the most delicious things on their menu. Not only that, I was told by the waitress they removed tostones fromtheir menu as well, so the only option is to have ripe plantains. If you don?t like sweet plantains, then you?re out of luck. Iended up ordering the Plato cubano, when we got the plate, the food looked amazing. However what we weren?t expecting was thisto be extremely flavorless. We tried adding the two sauces to the the plate to give it more flavor, but it wasn?t enough. Over time the recipe for the two table sauces have changed dramatically and now has a very mild taste. I gave two stars because theappetizer order of empanadas and the beans that came with the Plato cubano were absolutely delicious. Read more
It's been a long time since I ate here and now I wonder why it's been so long! It is delicious. We tried almost all the desserts... and several entrées. The empanada is a must try. There's several flavors to choose from. The coleslaw is more like a salad andit's really good! Read more
Stopped in for a quick bite. Got the Okra, corn and chicken empanada. It was pretty good. Would definitely try the others! We... also got a hot chocolate and tres leches cake. Both were very delicious. The tres leches was absolute perfection! Definitelywill be back to try more food...and desserts! Read more
We were looking a fun new experience before an event in Portland. This was a great choice. Delicious food and drinks. My sister... is hard of hearing and the background music was a little tough for her to hear our conversation but it didn't effect our goodtime. Our server was great and attentive. Read more
Pambiche is one of the most reviewed Cuban restaurants in Portland. The restaurant space is relatively small but the menu is... packed with a variety of delicacies from Cuba. One of the hallmarks is that this spot has a lot of vegetarian options as well.Meat lovers can choose from chicken/pork/beef or seafood. We ordered a lot of food and had a great evening over here. The placehas really small tables, so we barely had room to keep our plates on the table! We were thinking about skipping dessert but theserver mentioned that the owners of the place are actually bakers and specialize in desserts. That promoted us to try the guavacheesecake. That is a unique item that I haven't found on a lot of places. I was initially skeptical about guava in a dessertbut the dish passed with flying colors. The cheesecake was cooked perfectly and it had a subtle after taste of guava. The guavaglaze on top looked appetizing and had a butter scotch type texture and taste. Stay tuned for more reviews of this place in thefuture. Do try the desserts if you visit them! Read more
