"Rather than simply duplicating the original restaurant’s winning formula, the República team has launched a string of thematically connected but distinct restaurant and bar expansions throughout the city. Perhaps the most exciting is Lilia Comedor — a tribute to chef Juan Gomez’s mother — taking the “Mexico-forward” approach of its parent restaurant to creative heights. The menu is highly seasonal and changes frequently. Opt for the tasting menu to enjoy a multi-course meal that might include scallop crudo, Oregon Coast Dungeness Crab, or pork collar confit — depending on the season." - Rebecca Roland, Nathan Williams
