"With multiple permanent restaurant locations and a presence at Portland farmer’s markets, Verde Cocina is a leader in Portland’s gluten-free scene, known for its produce-heavy take on Mexican classics. Each Verde Cocina cafe offers lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, but it’s the brunch that truly shines, from horchata French toast with New Cascadia challah to Buenos Dias breakfast with scrambled eggs, chickpeas, and smoked pork belly bacon. Non-meat eaters may prefer dishes like vegan chiles rellenos or tofu mole, with even more options available for paleo diners." - Sararosa Davies, Eater Staff
