"This sophisticated tasting menu restaurant in Portland’s Pearl District explores the personal and cultural influences on Mexican cuisine through history, filtering many of those food stories through a Pacific Northwestern lens. In practice, that means ceviche courses may use Oregon albacore, topped with a cracked buckwheat oblea; or, foie gras and scallop taquitos may arrive topped with Oregon strawberry “pearls.” Tasting menus start at $128 for seven courses." - Michelle Lopez
