Teote Tavern

Stopped in here shortly after opening one recent evening. Had the El Diablo Arepa and it was terrific, as was the margarita. And good chips and salsa--always a sign that the food will be worth it. Very friendly staff and the interior is hip and stylish and fits the mostly South American food theme. And great jazz music playing. It's a bit hidden away slightly down the block from the corner of 30th and Killingsworth but well worth seeking out.

The food was delicious!! Our table order two arepas, the salad, stew, and a tostada. Everything was phenomenal!! The guacamole was also so fresh! I got the naked and afraid cocktail, which maybe the best mezcal drink I've ever had! And amazing friendly staff and lovely ambiance to top off the night! And the price point was very good for the portions!

The food is incredible! I had the green chili chicken and we also got chips and guac. But so many other options I can't wait to try! The chef (and owner I think?) came by to check on us and brought us a plate of cinnamon churros. This place is rad!

Stopped in here tonight with a friend and food was delicious. We both got the tacos and they were really good. The atmosphere is also nice, it's a little dark but that's pretty typical for this type of restaurant in portland and it doesn't bother me but just a heads up for some who hate dim lighting! otherwise great service and food
