We had an amazing experience at Andina. The food was absolutely epic--every dish we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive: attentive, friendly, and really made us feel taken care of without being overbearing. The venue itself is gorgeous and has such a great atmosphere. It's the perfect place to gather with friends and enjoy a night out in Portland. Everything about the experience felt thoughtfully done, from the pacing of the meal to the overall vibe. Andina is Portland institution and pays such great homage to Peruvian cuisine. This restaurant never disappoints. Thank you Andina for always being a Portland constant...great food, great food, great service ! We'd definitely come back and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great group dining experience. read more

I seem to have a very poor memory of this place. I thought they had improved their menu and food and was looking forward to eating here again. Overall I would say it was a disappointing meal as the food quality and offerings don't justify the price point. Cocktails were good and perhaps just stopping here for a drink is all that's needed. For food we ordered the following: Empanada: Tasty and probably the best thing we had, although the portion was small for the price Scallop Ceviche: Red onion overwhelmed everything so was hard to enjoy Quinoa rice dish: Super boring and not very tasty Lomo Saltado: Overcooked beef and soggy fries. Strawberry shortcake: seasonal dessert: Cake was dense and lacked flavor. This was an exceedingly disappointing meal and I'm sad to see this restaurant hasn't improved over the years. read more

Great restaurant with cozy, but upscale ambiance. Our server was super kind. They had live musics and overall a Beautiful interior. Our food was delicious, I got the ceviche. I believe the menu had good option for a variety of dietary needs too. read more

Came here as part of my twelve months of dining Christmas present from my hubby. It also happened to be Portland Dining Month so great opportunity to try some of their special dishes! We started with a Pilsner and mocktail. I had the SUEÑOS DE PISAC which was very "bright" in flavor with pineapple, lime, and ginger syrup. For my appetizer, I had the Choros y Papas Fritas steamed mussels with fries. Hubs had the Alitas de Pato peking duck wings. Both were delicious! I preferred the mussels as I am not a fan of poultry skin. For my main, I had the Pescado al Rocoto y Kion market fish with ginger, scallion, ají rocoto, pork consommé, shiitake mushrooms, and baby bok choy. It was quite delicious too but also quite tiny! Overall, service and food were wonderful and yes, I'd come back! read more

I was looking for something delicious near downtown Portland. This is the land of good food so my hopes were high. This place did not disappoint. The service was impeccable, the wine selection was unusual and delicious. The tapas were amazing, especially the ceviche and the Peruvian beans. We went with the Lomo Saltado for our main dish, which is a national dish of Peru and it was delicious. We shared everything and the server perfectly curated our meal. The restaurant is large and dimly lit which makes for a perfect place to bring a date or enjoy a fun night out with friends and family. Apparently it was one of the original restaurants in the Pearl district, long before it was trendy and cool. It is readily apparent why this restaurant has had its staying power. read more

I absolutely loveddd this restaurant. I love Peruvian food to begin with but this place is just so good. Great menu with tons of options- small and large plates. A lot of vegetarian and gluten free options if you don't eat meat or have other dietary restrictions this would be a great spot. The duck was so good it fell right off the bone. So flavorful. Yucca fries were crispy and fresh, came with a delicious sauce. My mom thought the dessert we got was amazing. Servers were very friendly. It was crowded in here, almost every table full on a Thursday night. Also this is the most beautiful restaurant and they had someone playing guitar throughout the night it was so lovely. Definitely come here if you haven't. Portland gem. read more

Tasty Peruvian food! We visited Andina early on a Saturday night, and it was mostly empty when we arrived and about three-quarters full when we left. The restaurant is decorated with a plethora of plants and earth tones. Acoustic guitar music played during our visit. I tried the vicuna de cusco to drink, the ceviche de conchas as a starter, and the hongos saltados as a main. The vicuna de cusco had a delicious blend of flavors. The ceviche was tasty although it would have been nice if they drained a bit more of the liquid before serving. The hongos saltados had a tasty sauce and the mushrooms were delectable. It was a bit strange to me to mix in the french fries like they did, but it ended up being quite good. Overall, I had a great experience at Andina, and I would recommend them for Peruvian food in Portland. read more

My husband and I went to try Andina for the first time on our Anniversary, and they didn't disappoint! The sommelier helped us paid the right bottle of red wine with our meal. He took the time to explain how it would pair and came back to check on us to ensure we were enjoying the wine. We started with the pineapple salsa and bread mix - the sourdough was so fresh! The multigrain had a strong star anise flavor and hazelnut butter spread was fantastic. The causa de pulpo (octopus), starter was tender with the right amount of heat and the potatoes were fantastic! The grilled salmon was fantastic. The amazing team at Anding brought us a tasty matcha butterscotch ice cream to help us celebrate our anniversary. Never would have guessed that flavor combination but it was a perfect pairing! The only aspect that we had a bit of a hard time with was the volume in the restaurant. It's gorgeous in there but it was loud. We said across from each other and had an extremely tough time hearing each other talk between the music and general restaurant conversation. Temperature was perfect, though and all the wait staff were friendly and helpful! Will definitely go back! read more

My partner and I went to Andina during Portland Dining Month and we really enjoyed it - probably one of the best Peruvian restaurants I've ever been to. For our first course, we got the choros y papas fritas with mussels & the alitas de Pato with peking duck. For our second course, we got the lomo saltado and pescado al rocotao y kion. Everything was delicious, high quality, and had a balance of flavors. I especially enjoyed the choros y papas fritas! For dessert, we tried the fritters and pot de creme (with the pot de creme being the better choice). The service was really great and the ambiance is nice. I did find it to be very loud in Andina, but it's also a sign that everyone is having good conversation. I'd definitely come again and can't wait for PDM next year! read more

We tried many starters and sides. The best were the Yuca Frita, Char Siu Ribs and Calabaza con ocopa. I tried the Lomo Saltado beef & really liked it. However, I ordered the Grilled Wild Salmon medium well and it came much less done that that. I sent it back and it still came back half raw. Check out the photo - that is nowhere near medium well. That was very disappointing. I brought it home and cooked it more the next day so I could eventually eat it. read more

Andina - Grilled salmon - Wine Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

There's no shortage of great restaurants in the Pearl District, so when my business dinner reservation happened to match ChatGPT's recommendation, I had a feeling Andina would be a winner--especially for its Peruvian cuisine. It turned out to be even better than expected. The cocktail menu is fantastic. As a mezcal lover, I was delighted to see Ilegal Mezcal on the menu--the same bottle I keep at home, famously known for its smuggler-backstory. I ordered a mezcal-based cocktail that had a touch of spice, beautifully balanced with citrus and bitters. Truly exceptional. We shared a selection of vegan appetizers, all of which were outstanding. Although I don't eat meat, I have to admit the Chinese five-spice pork ribs looked delicious. For our main, everyone chose the trout--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I loved every bite. Andina is the kind of place that immediately makes you want to return so you can explore the rest of the menu. A memorable dining experience from start to finish. read more

Fantastic dinner at Andina to start my Portland trip. I flew in straight from the airport and they have coat/bag check! The vibes are romantic and chill, and I loved the interior. So beautiful looking at the fall foliage while eating delicious food. I loved one of the empanadas (forgot which one but it's the veggie one) and the dish with pork cutlet with pasta. Ooooooomg so tasty. I would pass on the Lomo and beef hearts though read more

Andina - Wine Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Our first experience was so positive we decided to come back on another weekend spent in Portland. Well, some of the food was still good and we enjoyed the drinks, but the quality has dropped for sure. Appetizers: The octopus was very salty, and some pieces were a bit tough. Ceviche remains a highlight, but I was sad to see they only had one option on the menu now. Yuca fries were also still delicious as well. Main dishes: There were steamed mussels with my trout and half of them were inedible, the smell was so bad. The fish itself was fine. The chicken was pretty dry, but the yummy sauces sort of make up for it. However, some of the fingerling potatoes were also inedible because of being rock hard. Lomo saltado and grilled salmon entrees were both good, cooked perfectly and had balanced flavors. Overall, for the price range, it was not worth it to return, especially because our service was not the best this visit. It was slow - our waiter filled our water glasses twice before asking for our orders. It was 20 minutes between getting seated and ordering food. We weren't asked how the food was either, no check-ins until he came back for plates (and still didn't ask how everything was). read more

I've been meaning to do this review!! Wow this was our first time here & I couldn't believe this place was missing from my life. Everything was amazing here. From the service to the food & the drinks. First, our server was Brooke & she made the experience even better. We've never had Peruvian food so it was nice of her to tell us about the dishes. Drinks were delicious. I would come back for everything we got. the Char Siu Pork Ribs & the Lomo Saltado were our favorites! We could lick the plates clean haha. Their version of the tamale & empanada were both yummy. The lighting was nice & dim with live music! read more

During a girls' trip to Portland, we visited Andina on our first night in town. We loved the atmosphere, especially the musician performing at the bar. Our server was very helpful, the drinks were fantastic, and the food truly stole the show! We shared several appetizers, all of which were great, but the Lomo Saltado was by far the best dish we enjoyed. One of my girlfriends even tried it with mushrooms since she's a vegetarian, and she said it was just as incredible as ours looked. read more

The Andina brunch was quite excellent. I never thought I would say this, but the absolute hands-down favorite was their drip coffee. It was bold yet as smooth as could be. You have to order the pastry roll; it's perfection with the coffee. Not to be left behind, the food was actually equally good. We had the pancakes, which were so delicious they didn't even need butter. They were perfect just the way they were. The potato rosti (think a thick potato pancake, almost a cutlet) with smoked salmon roe and a delicious sauce was also a highlight. Finally Ari was the best server one could ask for, kept that coffee coming We shall be back. read more

4.5 stars. The duck ceviche was delicious. I was so surprised that I liked a meat based ceviche but it's balanced (not so acidic as other ceviches in the past), the meat is tender, and the combination of the ingredients was a surprising hit on my palette. I also ordered the fried chicken appetizer and yuka chip side, and pot de chocolate. All are solid, as was the argyle sparkling wine. I tried the Sauvignon Blanc and orange wine but didn't like them. A two-people band was playing cuban jazz and other Latin American music. A beautiful spot with tall ceiling and beautiful Lighting. Server Austin was fantastic. I lingered for about 2.5 hours by myself and had a great time. read more

*** 4.5 stars *** 5 stars for the octopus ceviche! My friend and I sat at the bar for a quick, early bite and were so obsessed with the ceviche that we ordered another. We also had some chicken skewers and papas fritas, both of which were also great. I was little wined out from a day in Willamette and opted for a Cider that they had, which I loved. Service was friendly and attentive even though we were just happy hour customers. I would definitely come back for dinner! read more

Went on a weeknight with a group of 4 for happy hour. They have a good selection of food and drinks. The quality was EXCELLENT, everything was flavorful and well cooked. The only downside is the tiny tiny portion sizes. For example a plate of chicken skewers came with two (see photo) and a portion of samosa was one. I think the ceviche was my favorite and probably the only item priced reasonably. Between the four of us our bill was just over $200. The interior was gorgeous, dim lighting but didn't impact visibility. Overall good experience however would definitely reserve for special occasions. read more

Overall was a great meal! The pork dish wasn't what we were expecting, but was really good despite being very heavy. Hmm... Collagen boost, anyone? Lomo Saltado was flavorful, with really good garlic rice on the side. Yuca fries were too hard and dense for my taste. Beef heart was an acquired taste, just sadly, not mine. Very lively restaurant with live music and attentive service. read more

Andina, like many Portland restaurants, loses in their intentions to be gourmet. Their scallop ceviche was not fresh. Of, course I ate it so the wife wouldn't get mad at my complaints, however they charged an extra $6 to have chips with my ceviche. No chips with ceviche? Also, their empanadas were re-heated and pretty sub par. I didn't complain to the waitress regarding the odor of the ceviche or the insipid flavor of the empanadas. (When I complain about the food my wife gets upset.) Funny thing is, she said the food was a 2.5/5. Save your money. Go elsewhere. read more

This would be good if I don't have prior experience with Peruvian food but this wasn't quite it. The flavors were not quite there and the price point for what you got was too high. Ordered family style for a group of 3, we shared the lomo saltado, pollo la brasa, anticucho de pollo, ceviche de conchas, and yuca fritas along with some pisco sours. The sauce on the lomo saltado was close but was lacking some flavors and could have been thickened a bit more. Overall all of the sauces, which are heavily relied on were on the bland side. Including the amarillo sauce and the lime sauce on the ceviche. The chicken skewers were good but it was funny to see 2 tiny skewers come out for $15. As far as the rest of the food it was fine but it wasn't quite Peruvian. Service also wasn't anything special. Our food was dropped off and we weren't checked on afterwards until it came time to pay. The restaurant is nice and has a dim setting. read more

Andina has long been and still is one of our favorite restaurants in Portland. I've been here for after work happy hours (4-5 daily in the bar area), work events, special celebratory dinners, and general dinners with friends. The service has always been incredibly friendly and accommodating, and it's always a treat when Mama Doris would come say hello! The food is always incredible. I always enjoy the seafood options. I don't think I've ever had a dish here that I didn't like! It's a great wine list, too. The dining room is a beautiful open space with comfortable booths along the windows. If you're looking for event space, I've been to intimate dinners in the private dining space downstairs and larger corporate events, and the staff always does an amazing job. Parking in the area can be tricky, so plan for some time to find street parking. Or there's a garage a short walk away. Always looking forward to my next meal at Andina! read more

3.5/5 stars I will start with saying I came for a private group dinner, not individual dining. We sat in a private room in the basement that had a single private restroom around the corner. Service was very attentive for water but I do wish they had asked us for drink orders more than once for those of us not enjoying wine. I also wished that they had kept some of the plates on the table when they switched out courses. It would've been nice to have some potatoes and salad with the meat, which was served the next round. There was quite a bit of time between the different parts of dinner being served. Unfortunately, that also meant that the entire main entrée service was lukewarm, if not cold. We were served fried fritters and beet skewers for appetizers. The Ensalada con Kiwicha served at the table was fairly basic and uninteresting. I enjoyed the Papa a la Huancaina but there were far too many olives on the platter. The side of rice was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The vegetables, on the other hand, were bland and undercooked. My table commented how the carrots seemed to be raw. Lomo Corto a la Parrilla had good flavor but was very very chewy, to the point where I found it offputting. The Pasta Al Pesto was great and very interesting- the mushrooms added a nice element of texture to the dish. The Pollo a la Brasa was delicious as well- perfectly cooked and the salsa it was served with was a huge hit at the table. We were served panna cotta and cookies for dessert- which were alright but nothing I'd think about again. I was a bit bummed about this experience because Andina has been on my go-to list for quite some time, but I'm glad to have gone and will continue to explore the rest of the Portland food scene. read more

Vegetarian review: - mushroom toast: tasty and sharable. The mushrooms were great- grilled or sautéed or something, but savory and warm. Sauce was creamy and really made the dish. Bread- soft where it should be soft, and crispy where it should be crispy. - lomo saltado: replaced meat with mushrooms. Pretty good. Not exactly memorable, but pretty good. - yuca fries: the least interesting. Came with 2 sauces- mint and a cream one. Warm and crisp, but underwhelming. Service was great. Personable and pleasant. Parking wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (Thursday, 7.45pm). Street parking read more

Nice location and nice ambiance. Not a ton of menu selections for the mains (1 pasta, 1 beef, 1 chicken) but the dishes were good. Had a bit of a struggle with the sommelier who strongly recommended a wine I was not terribly excited about, then spent several minutes teaching a graduate level wine class at the table (none of my guests cared). Eventually I sent the wine back, something I never do, because the wine was just not going to be drinkable without another hour or two of air. The som was apologetic and didn't charge us for that bottle (we barely touched it) and brought out one of my original selections. Partially my fault, I should have been less persuadable. My main complaint was the undisclosed 3.5% "employee health" surcharge that showed up on the bill that I didn't see until later. I detest extra fees like that, especially if they are not disclosed openly and clearly. If restaurant costs are going up, adjust menu or drink prices but nonsense fees like that mean I won't ever return to Andina. read more

Honestly couldnt say enough about how amazing this restaurant is. If anyone comes to Portland, they must try Andina. The ambiance of the restaurant was very aesthetic and inviting. The staff were superb. I was visiting with family and decided to try a variety of things but the one that stood out to me the most was the trout dish and lomo saltado. Both dish made to perfection. 10/10 for the various tapas too. read more

My favorite restaurant in Portland! We were visiting for a few days and decided to try Andina. We made reservations in advance and were seated promptly upon arrival. Our first impression of the ambience was that it was beautiful inside, I loved being able to see the kitchen and watch the food being served while we waited. We ordered the ANTICUCHO DE CORAZÓN (beef hearts) , CEBICHE DE CONCHAS, EMPANADAS (beef), LOMO SALTADO, and PAN-SEARED RIVERENCE TROUT to share for 4 people. Every dish was delicious and I'd definitely recommend this place! read more
