verde cocina

we went with a friend a friend for happy hour. the margaritas are well priced and plain. some might want them a little sweeter. the guacamole was served with some thick, soft corn tortillas. but would have been much better with some salty crunch in the from of crisp chips. the pulled pork tacos arrived on the same soft tortillas, with a small bit of pork inside. perhaps the full dinners would be more satisfying.service was very attentive and friendly.

one of my favorite mexican restaurants in the area. the tortillas are delicious! my favorites to order include the tortillas and guacamole and the gringos con mole. also try a margarita!

i ordered the new york strip, which admittedly isnt an obvious choice at a mexican restaurant, but it was prominent on the menu. the steak was seasoned perfectly and very flavorful but while ordered medium rare it was barely rare and lots of gristle - just not a good cut of meat. my wifes ceviche was mostly veggies. the margaritas were exceptional, but overall it was an uninspired dinner.

great food. very comfortable environment and service.

healthy and delicious!. i love this place! in my top 5 portland eats! healthy, simple, delicious food! paleo, vegan, gf, dairy free foods!!! service is ok.

i am a huge fan of verde cocina. we first discovered them a few months ago, in the pearl, and enjoyed their happy hour and some dinner. i just love that every dish is filled with veggies. they gather whatever is in season and add it to their dishes with a mexican flair.  ever since we went for the happy hour i knew i wanted to return some day for their brunch. so return we did. only this time we chose the hillsdale location. the brunch menu looked fabulous, but i went with the special of the day, which was salmon hash. my biggest concern with this is it would be salmon and potatoes, so i asked and he assured me it was filled with fresh veggies.  oh, he was right!  two eggs over easy thrown on top of this flavorful dish. huge hit. salmon hash loaded with tons of veggies my daughter got the gringas con mole. this is such a great dish. i had ordered this on our last visit with pork, but she got v

fresh tasting and inspired food. great service. one of the better places to eat in the area along with sasquatch next door.

excellent balance!. after loving at the farmer's market, i am so happy they have made a successful transition to a fixed place.
the mix of ingredients is genius and delicious, extremely well done and the staff are great! the parking situation is a little dicey, but worth the effort. a meal that leaves you satisfied and feeling great.

ok, but not great. pros: their signature mound of veggies is tasty, the tortillas are fresh, food is locally sourced and healthy.

cons: healthy mexican doesn't have to mean boring mexican. the two main dishes we tried (one from breakfast menu, one from lunch menu) were not very distinguished. at the very least, they should have a few tasty salsas on the table, so you can add flavor to the dishes.

if verde cocina cafe were in inner se portland...... .....there would be a line around the corner. fresh and creative vegetable and bean sautes anchor eggs and meats for breakfast with excellent homemade tortillas. it's the kind of breakfast that gives you sustenance and energy for the day, not leaving you feeling like you want a nap. if you're expecting breakfast potatoes, do not go here....but you won't miss them!

excellent! the food was fresh, flavorful and not over spiced. farm fresh eggs, homemade tortillas and a big pile of veggies made my huevo's rancheros perfect. husband had the steak and eggs- steak was a bit chewy and in my opinion could use a bit more flavor. he was pleased with his meal. staff were very attentive, and it was a bit busy ( saturday morn). small menu, but i think it decreases your wait, and we had no problems finding something. if your looking for puffy pancakes and lots of carbs, this isn't your place. if you want a good, sturdy breakfast that won't leave you feeling like you need a gym, step through their door !!
