    Fried chicken
    Matthew A.

    Being a Texas transplant, my husband and I have yet to find a decent fried chicken joint that we love. 10/10! Seriously, it was tender, juicy, yet stayed crispy! I'd come back for the fried chicken alone! Also had the HH pupusas revueltas. They were packed with filling, the masa was soft center crispy outside, and was brilliantly paired with the spicy salsa and curtido. Next time I'm in the city, I'll definitely be stopping here!! Staff was super friendly. Cozy environment, good vibes, even better music playlist.

    Strawberry cider so good and Kauana was great and Anne was great and I spent the whole time talking with Gabe about stuff lol

    As a gluten free girl, this place was incredible! I can't remember the last time I had crispy fried chicken. It was perfectly cooked and the fried chicken was insanely good and the crunch was off the charts! The fries were perfect as well! We got 1 of each of the sauces and all I can say is 10/10. The service was amazing and the best gluten free fried chicken in Portland by far! I can't wait to try the fish and chips next!

    Food was incredible - my wife has celiac and we both loved the papusas and fish & chips. Would highly recommend stopping by!

    I first visited Bicho's on a rainy Portland afternoon. My fiancé sweetly gave me a few lunch…read moreoptions, and this was one of them. I had been craving pupusas, and the moment I saw they had a good variety to choose from, I knew he made the right choice. I ordered the pork with rice and beans pupusa and the chicken with beans pupusa, and both absolutely hit the spot. They were filling, flavorful, and comforting in the way only good, handmade pupusas can be. The curtido and sauce tied everything together perfectly. Honestly, I could've just stuck with the pupusas and been completely satisfied. But I was really craving plátanos, so I also ordered a side of plátanos with beans and crema ..and wow. That combination was next level. The sweetness of the plantains with the savory beans and creamy crema was so good that I've decided from now on, that's the only way I want to eat them. The whole meal kept me full and happy for hours. One thing to note: you do bus your own table here, which I personally don't mind at all! just something to be aware of when you visit. After I finished eating, I took a walk down Mississippi Avenue, which made the whole outing even better. It's such a charming stretch -- little boutique shops, a cute pet store, a piercing shop further down the street, and plenty of restaurants and dessert spots if you want to keep the day going. Comforting Salvadorian flavors, this spot is definitely worth stopping by.

However, I wish it was bigger considering they charged $16+. We very much enjoyed the bean and cheese pupusas that were fulfilling enough to have 1 for each person. We ordered 3 and the cabbage was enough for 2 people. I recommend ordering extra if your 3rd person wants some as well. The place appeared clean and the workers were kind. Despite the cashier accidentally charging more and the price of it being higher than other spots we have been to, I would say you pay for the quality of the food. Other items can be overcharged (i.e a small fountain drink was $7).

This is not the case of Sivar's.... I've been coming to this small hole in the wall, in a middle of a busy Central American mall, next to Super Mercado in Hillsboro and I am keeping it to my heart. There is this amazing strong woman who is an angel in the kitchen! I have been trying her pupusas since she opened her place.... amazingly delicious and honestly prepared, right there, in front of you. I have been drinking her Atol de Elote and I love it... no milk. Horchata is amazing, no milk, just rice cinnamon water sugar and morro fruit. I'm talking about Salvadoran horchata here, not the milk infused Mexican stuff. Please, don't get me wrong, the Mexican horchata is delicious but the milk, it kills me, especially the condensed milk. What else? Caldo de res, beef soup. Holly smokes! Do you want beef soup that you eat it with a spoon? No need to cut your beef with a knife, because the meat was so tender and deliciously blended. Her work team and her efforts are incredible; this is my secret spot when I want to eat like a human, no industrial food here!
