Absolutely a flavor explosion inside your mouth! Next, the smoked bone marrow with chimichurri and bread was fantastic. Rich, smoky, herby, and just ridiculously good. The pork belly baocitos were my absolute favorite! The foraged mushrooms with bread were another HUGE surprise!! WOW. Incredible flavor! The grilled octopus with potatoes was good, although slightly overcooked and I didn't get much of the grilled flavor. The flank steak had delicious smoky flavors and an amazing sauce, but we were so full by then that we couldn't finish it! I loved the variety here. Lots of bold flavors and fun combinations, and the sharing format makes it easy to try a little bit of everything. Definitely come hungry! As an aside, there is a tank of jelly fish when you walk in, and another tank with fish. Pretty cool.

Upon entering the restaurant I really enjoyed the decor and atmosphere. Although it was small and busy it felt very comfortable and laid back. I ordered the Canchánchara cocktail and was very impressed with the taste of the drink. Along with that I ordered the Vaca Frita with plantanos. The shredded beef was so delicious and the salad was probably my favorite part of the dish. Combine the salad with the beef and it was the perfect combination. Unfortunately they were out of empanadas so next time I'm in the area I would love to give those a try!

They have both indoor and outdoor seating and we arrived around 9 pm and were sat down immediately even though the restaurant seemed busy. Luckily we were there during happy hour. Waitress was polite even though they were super busy! I would also say prices were average. We ordered a bacan de pollo, camarones al ajillo con setas, ropa vieja, chocolate, canchanchara, passion fruit limonade, flan and pudin. I absolutely loved the avocado salad in the camarones of ajillo. My boyfriend said the ropa vieja plate was solid. I wasn't the biggest fan of the bacan. I just feel the flavors weren't there compared to the other plates. The highlight of the night for me personally were chocolate drink and pudin. I cannot speak on the flan as I did not taste it. Pudin was absolutely yummy, not too sweet and the chantilly was sweet and creamy. The hot chocolate was absolutely delicious and I loved the mint twist in it. I don't know when we will be in Portland again but I can't wait to try their empanadas and their other desserts!

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 !

I've tried the mole, the elote, the empanadas, and the carne asada bowl so far. O My Great God it's so good. For sure more expensive than I'm generally comfortable paying for food so it isn't an all the time thing, but I like how easy it is to split a bill and order through their QR codes *and* their chip reader, if you're not a tap guy like me. I am non alcoholic but Grandma really loved theirs, mezcal I believe but I may be incorrect! It is LOUD outside on the patio, because duh, you're right on the busy street. If you live here, you're quite used to that! Quieter inside, the music is loud enough to confidently have a conversation without lowering your voice too much, but not so loud that you can't hear your friends. Waitstaff is pleasant, accommodating, and compassionate! It feels and smells clean inside, and my experience in back of house food let me perceive that the dishes had been freshly cleaned and steamed dry; they just had that feeling on the fingertips. (I wish the cleanliness of dishes wasn't a highlight in Portland but here we are.) Also the water didn't taste like fish OR rocks! What a win!!! If you're not sure what to get I recommend starting with the empanada plate and some elote to share with a group of three, to build your expectations.

We were seated right next to the misters, which felt magical.

We stopped in for a quick bite for lunch and ordered a few tacos, which were solid - plus flan for dessert. We couldn't stay as long as we would've liked since we had somewhere else to be, but we really appreciated how welcoming and accommodating they were on a busy day.

We were provided with complimentary tomato bisque in cute little cups to start off the meal. It had a nice, light spicy kick that immediately got things going. We ordered the clam chowder with bone marrow, and this was absolutely the best clam chowder we have ever had. The dish comes with a cooked bone marrow on top that you're meant to scrape into the chowder, along with five medium clams still in their shells. Remove everything from the shells, scrape that glorious bone marrow into the chowder, and give it a really good stir. Keep the bone in the bowl for the extra flavor. Then enjoy what might be the best clam chowder of your life. We also ordered the beef tongue, which was another amazing appetizer. The combination of horseradish, tiny potato salad, capers, crispy little pork rind pieces, and the sauce on top of the beef tongue was SO flavorful. I was, indeed, back in divine food heaven. For our entrees and sides, we ordered the green beans, skirt steak, and pork chop. The green beans had an Asian-inspired preparation with fish sauce, cashews, and Thai basil. They were incredibly flavorful, with the Thai basil adding a nice freshness. The skirt steak was perfectly cooked to medium and seasoned beautifully with smoky flavors. The accompanying chimichurri added a fresh, herby contrast. And then there was the pork chop, which was a hugeeeee surprise! Our waitress told us it was one of their most popular dishes, and now I understand why. It was huge, perfectly cooked, beautifully grilled, and served with a slightly sweeter sauce that worked so well with the pork. We ended the meal with sorbet, which was fantastic and a refreshing way to finish everything. My life is complete!

Was not a traditional wedge but was really good. For my main I got the lomo saltado, mole rubbed steak tips with onions, peppers, French fries over rice. Was a wild mix of stuff. Steak pieces were pretty small but full of flavor and the sauce over the whole thing was delicious. Was worried the fries would be soggy but the sauce made them better. Sopped up the sauce with the rice and fries. Amazing. Asked for a margarita to go with the meal, seemed appropriate.

It's a beautiful restaurant, we had a large party seated by the window, and our server was SO fun. Everyone was incredibly sweet, and the service was perfect. It was also close to my birthday, and they ended up singing to me twice because our server didn't know the first time! They even brought me a complimentary cake, so it made for such a fun memory. Food-wise, the burrata needed a little more balsamic, but the empanadas were a 10/10, the sauces were amazing, and I loved the fried grit fritters and bread. The drinks were also SO good. Our entire group became obsessed with the Coco No Loco and kept ordering them all night! Unfortunately, my steak was where they lost the star. It was SO tough and honestly difficult to chew. The flavor was also spicier than I expected, but that part is on me! I think they may have just had an off night with the steak, because everything else was incredible. I'd absolutely come back, I'd just order something other than steak next time. 4/5!
