My team had a guest in town and was looking for a business lunch. La Factoria had been on our radar…read moreso off we went. The location is unsuspecting - lower level of The Yard apartments, across 2nd from industrial warehouses. Not the sort of place you wander into accidentally. The interior is that non-nonsense semi-industrial chic that seems to me popular. It's photo-ready but not exactly warm. The bar is impressive in size and scope but being a working lunch, was off the menu. Next time. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. We started with a round of chips and salsa. The chips were fresh and the salsa was tasty. The menu is large and in charge for brunch and dinner. I opted for the breakfast enchiladas (despite reservations about enchiladas made using flour tortillas), my companions went with the Piso 21 salad, the breakfast burrito and the Don Benedicto (chosen in a coin flip vs the Golden Duo chick and waffles) Everyone really enjoyed their meals and noted the portion sizes were large. It was a good experience and I'm sure I'll be back - particularly for a happy hour sometime

The restaurants interior is a site to behold. And the art work is attention grabbing. You can walk through and simply check out how meticulous their designer was with putting it all together. One thing I really liked was the menu; the choices were many but not overwhelming and they had vegetarian options for my friend. I ordered a cuban with fried yuca and I could tell the chef took their time making sure it met expectations. I truly enjoyed every bite. All in all they manage to encompass so many things perfectly. If you want a cool place to stop in for coffee in the morning, a sheek brunch spot, a sexy restaurant for a diner date with your partner/friends or how bout a fun place to go to late night for live dj events just to dance your cares away then La factoria has it all while giving you a taste of vibrant latin culture. I hope they become a staple of Portland.

The service was very nice, allowing for free hints or questions you can ask them on a iPad, so even if you're stuck, you still have chance to get clues. The puzzles, while challenging, are very creative for anyone to enjoy and can be a memorable. The ambience in the room can feel immersive and have the whole group be cautious. Either way, if you pick (or don't pick) the Frozen Forest room, each one will bring a complicated, amazing time for your team!

Other than that, there isn't food food here, but they do allow outside food and they even recommend places in the area. I got the Wayfaring White flight and my friend got the Voyage Francais. My friend and I definitely enjoyed our flights. Both of us liked half of our flights and LOVED the other half. By the end of the night, we were laugh crying. We also ordered cheese, crackers, nuts, and dried fruits. All so delicious and great to snack on while we sipped on our flights. The cheeses were delectable. We also got truffles to end the night off on a sweet note. Our server was so nice and kind. She was very helpful and I could tell she wanted us to have a good time there. I vaguely remember there being games at the front of the store. It seems like a nice place to just unwind and just have fun. It's a really cute and clean spot. Parking is atrocious, but that's not their fault, just a busy area.

Portions were great as well as the herb platter but I wish I didn't have to ration the broth as there wasn't that much. Prices are a bit high for Vietnamese but probably in line with the location here on Mississippi street.

The venue had an incredible assortment of food options along with tons of outdoor activities for our grandson. It made for a fantastic trip to the Art District. We tried all kinds of treats. I had the Lamb Tikki Gyro and started with a fresh Dragon Roll. My grandson devoured 3 corn dogs and fries! My wife loved the Philly Cheesesteak, and my son enjoyed a fresh sushi plate along with a Spam Musubi. Everything was absolutely delicious and freshly made. The service at each truck was excellent. One of the highlights of the day was playing ping pong with my grandson -- such a fun family atmosphere. Great food, great energy, and a great experience overall. We'll definitely be back next time we visit!

5 Stars - WonderLove is Portland's best-kept (not-so-secret) adult playground!…read moreJust off SE Main Street in the Central Eastside (right at 2nd & Main), WonderLove feels like someone took a classic food cart pod, cranked the creativity to 11, and built a three-story party fortress around it. This place isn't just 'grab your food and go' it's a full-on hangout destination that makes regular pods look boring. The carts might not all be the heavyweight champions of Portland's food scene, but who cares when the options are this diverse and tasty? From Guyanese bakes at Tu Tia (those fluffy pockets are killer) to Honeycuspe's next-level waffles, Gyro Bistro, sushi poke, Indian plates, and more there's something for everyone. I grabbed snacks and a drink and could've stayed all afternoon. But the real star? The setup. It's got tons of covered picnic seating on the ground level, an elevated sports lounge in a stacked shipping container (complete with TVs and wood flooring salvaged from an old college basketball court how cool is that?), and a killer rooftop deck with awesome views of downtown Portland. You can literally sit up high, sip a craft cocktail from the bar, watch the world (and traffic) go by, and feel like you're in a treehouse for grown-ups. Plenty of interactive vibes too games, space to move around, live music stages ready for DJs or bands. It's giving big "block party every night" energy. I went during the daytime and it was already awesome bright, clean, colorful murals everywhere, easy parking, and zero sketchy downtown feels. I can only imagine how epic it gets in the evening with lights on, music bumping, and that rooftop catching sunset or city glow. Not scummy, not skimpy just fresh, inviting, and thoughtfully built. Food carts don't have to be this fun and hangout-friendly, but when someone puts in the extra effort? Chef's kiss. Extra star for pure creativeness. If you're tired of the same old pods, add WonderLove to your list immediately. Great for a quick bite, a drink with friends, a family outing, or turning into a full night out. Highly recommend especially as evening rolls in. I'll be back for sure, and I'll be shouting out my favorite carts next time. This spot made the 'must-return' list on day one. Go check it out! "
