Suggestions for Authentic places near Downtown Portland, Portland

CA M. • November 9, 2013This place has awesome, authentic Mexican food. Don't be deterred by the person who wants plantains. Think Mexican not Nicaraguan. And the Margaritas are awesome!

Barry G. • June 12, 2021As authentic as you’ll find in PDX, triplets were mesmerized by the raised platforms, removing shoes, sitting low to the ground. Food was very good. Looking at the place for years. So glad I went in.

Christina M. • July 4, 2012This place is absolutely THE greatest authentic Vietnamese food in the WORLD! Okay Portland at least.... But tried half the menu and nothing was less than perfect!! Highly recommend it!!

MinTz • September 19, 2014This place is the most authentic Thai restaurant I've ever seen in US. Their Khao Man Gai is exactly the same with the one in Thailand.

Nina K. • August 2, 2015This place was great! The seating had bars, booths, and tables. The wait staff was friendly. I ordered the steamed buns as an appetizer, tastes very authentic! And the beef in the pho was perfect.

Jessica L. • August 23, 2021Great place to go to before a timbers game. Has that authentic Irish pub vibe that some east coasters look for when they visit Portland

Hannah S. • January 27, 2010This place is incredible and very authentic. I always get the chicken or beef with rice, salad and Kurdish sauce.
