Lime-marinated seafood of the day with tomato, onion and cilantro. $4.75
Taqueria Nueve, Portland OR
This was really delicious and fresh tasting. I liked that they served it on a tostada for some added crunch. It was on the small side but then again it cost less than five bucks so I can’t complain.
Chihuahua: Olmeca altos blanco, fresh grapefruit, St. Germain. $8
Chorizo rioja and mahon cheese. Sweetheart ham and zucchini pickles. Each $5
Pepe Le Moko, Portland OR
OK, this bocadillos were pretty good. Thank goodness after those chip-your-teeth oysters. I liked the simple, quality ingredients and they were nice and gooey from the hot press!
Manhattan.
Lay off the vermouth, sister! Apparently they don’t understand what “I don’t like sweet drinks” means at this bar. Between the snow cone Bakersfield and this candy Manhattan, I’d think I was at a malt shop instead of a bar.
With leeks, potatoes and a touch of cream. Served with poached eggs and whole wheat toast. $12.95
Mother’s Bistro & Bar, Portland OR
This hash was really flavorful, but the salmon was on the overcooked side. Kinda sad because I liked everything else about it.
Chocolate peanut butter walnut ginger molasses cookies. Complimentary with check.
That is a long name for a cookie!
