"Overlooking the Willamette River, the upscale Del Alma draws inspiration from Latin American, Caribbean, and Spanish flavors. Adobo-rubbed filet mignon arrives topped with smoky blue cheese butter and a shiitake mushroom roasted garlic jus, while chile-spiced cauliflower “chorizo” flautas, sitting in a smoky salsa ranchera, come sprinkled with cotija. For drink pairings, Del Alma’s extensive wine list includes German rieslings, Oregon pinot, and Spanish tempranillos; the cocktail menu features a number of inventive drinks, including the restaurant’s take on a mojito, made with house-infused chocolate, cinnamon, and yerba maté rum. Every Wednesday, the restaurant offers a three-course prix fixe for $30. It’s open for limited indoor dining, summer patio dining, and takeout." - Mariah Botkin, Sukhjot Sal
