Where to Find Stellar Caribbean Food in Portland and Beyond

"Bistro Cubano frequently manages to lure Portlanders craving Cuban and Caribbean fare down to its location in the heart of Oregon City. This cozy, tucked-away corner restaurant features an array of cocktails to sip alongside panko-breaded mahi-mahi, basted with a turmeric-tinted coconut milk and roasted with potato, stewed tomato, and garlic. The lechon asado — slow-roasted pork marinated in a garlicky-citrus sauce — is a specialty available as an entree plate served over rice, beans, sweet plantains, and rice, or as a filling in one of the restaurant’s several Cubano variations." - Ron Scott, Olivia Lee
