Since 2000, Pambiche has been nourishing Portland with traditional Cuban dishes that have been in the Maribona Family for generations. We serve Cuban comfort food straight out of grandma’s kitchen with an emphasis on fresh, natural and healthy meals, just as she intended for us. Located in the Apambichao Building, a classic turn of the century Victorian landmark on Portland’s East 28th Avenue, our scene is straight up Old Havana and our hospitality is genuinely Cuban! Reservations are not necessary at Pambiche, we seat upon arrival on a first come first serve basis. Our sidewalk café is heated, ventilated, seasonally enclosed and open year round. We look forward to serving you the best in Cuban Creole Cuisine and Classic Cuban Cocktails!

Enjoyed celebrating my bfs birthday at Pambiche! On the surface the food may look “simple”, but it’s all well executed and fresh. Never felt like any of the dished were too heavy or oily.
I enjoyed the fish and loved the plantains. The embanadas were so good and I loved the sugarcane stick in our drinks. 10/10 for having a lot of tasty coffee drinks and desserts.

Everything I’ve tried here has been delicious. I’ve been coming to this restaurant since 2020. If you’ve never tried Cuban cuisine before, this is definitely a great place to start.

I’ve been here many times since they first opened and use to rave about the food. I haven’t been since the pandemic and went this week with some friends for a birthday. I was beyond excited for the Oxtail, but it wasn’t on the menu due to pricing issues and even being able to get it. It’s not their fault so I ordered Vaca Frita and made sure to ask for it extra crispy and it was good with char and everything, but I totally disliked their red beans and rice (It was mushy and not tasty at all). Their black beans were good but not flavorful. The Ropa Vieja was too chewy and not authentic, and the shrimp and the avocado salad was overly lemony/citrus and later I realized I needed to add salt and hot sauce to balance it. Most of the food tasted sweet and that was very weird. So it is not the way the food use to taste. Honestly my fave entree is always the Plato Cubano, and next time I would ask for more fatty pieces. We ordered plenty of desserts and we all had different opinions i.e. Arroz de coco was a bit liquidy and I’m used to a denser more creamy one; the cigar truffle is a sight and delicious taste and was all of our favorite!!! The Gauva cheese cake was good, and the Banana Pudin was excellent. The Dessert Empanada was to no ones liking and the potato and cheese Empanada was not to anyones liking. Honestly, if you are Cuban or Carribean like me you know it isn’t completely authentic, but the ambiance is awesome and the service was great. The coffee and espresso are excellent. I def reccomend and will always come back to try anything new:)

We ducked into this little shop just on our way to grab a coffee, but ended up staying for lunch and Cuban coffee. This spot has a great, affordable lunch menu with smaller portions of their famous dishes. We really enjoyed the staff who worked here, they were very friendly and accommodating. Super chill vibes indoors and it looks like some spacious outdoor seating (though we did come in the winter so nobody was out there). Overall a great stop!

Came here by myself for lunch on a Saturday. I got the Frita Cubano burger week burger. Everyone agrees that fries on a burger is awesome! Great burger.
I also got the Cuban Consomme with rice and lime. So good I ended up dipping the burger into it. The last little drink of it was the best.
As I was finishing up, the staff made one too many Sangrias and so they gave the extra one to me. Like some neat yummy unexpected desert drink.
Great service! My waitress was so nice and attentive to me and the other customers.
There were several couples there on dates, but also a few single people there like myself. Everyone was enjoying the food, service, and ambiance.
The whole experience felt so cool and dreamy despite the summer heat.

We had an excellent meal here, the food was authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The vaca frita and black beans were outstanding, the deserts were unique and perfectly made, and the service was friendly and attentive.
That said, the restaurant’s decor is heavily themed around Santería imagery and Afro religious symbolism. While I understand this is part of Cuban cultural history, the intensity of the spiritual imagery created an atmosphere that felt uncomfortable for us personally.
If you’re going purely for the food, it’s fantastic. Just be aware the ambiance leans strongly into religious and spiritual themes.

The food was excellent. Our group of friends all enjoyed their dishes and we all got different things. We had drinks, apps and dessert.

Very tasty food and drinks as well as very friendly and attentive service. Just note that it’s a very small place. Cozy but small. It’s perfect for small groups but I wouldn’t recommend large groups, which is fine by me. A neighborhood gem.
