Mexican & Northwest fusion with fresh, local ingredients
"The Hillsdale outpost of this Portland State University farmers market favorite offers gluten-free, vegan, paleo, and vegetable-heavy interpretations of classic Mexican dishes like enchiladas, chiles rellenos, and fajitas, served with sides of garbanzo beans and quinoa. The cafe also now serves a weekend brunch menu with steak and eggs, huevos rancheros, and breakfast tacos." - Rebecca Roland
"Although the Pearl location closed, the restaurant specializing in Mexican cooking with Pacific Northwest ingredients still has its Hillsdale location open for dining in and takeout with dishes that accommodate various dietary restrictions." - Alex Frane
"Verde Cocina, the family-owned group of Mexican restaurants that specializes in providing options for all kinds of dietary restrictions, is having a hard year. Besides losing its Pearl District location due to the coronavirus back in May, last Thursday a fire broke out in the Sylvan Highlands location, causing extensive damage. Verde has set up a GoFundMe account, aiming to raise $30,000 for its restoration. Diners can visit its location in Hillsdale for patio seating, takeout, and delivery." - Alex Frane
"I describe Verde Cocina as offering family meals at its Hillsdale and Sylvan Highland locations that serve six to eight people, accommodating dietary restrictions with gluten-free, vegan, and veggie options, and offering hot or ready-to-cook choices like mac and cheese (with optional meat add-ons), chimichurri, enchiladas, tortilla casserole, and roasted meats and vegetables." - Alex Frane
"Family-friendly and personal-diet-friendly Mexican restaurant group Verde Cocina will serve a special Mother’s Day brunch at all three of its locations. The meal includes choices of starters, sides, and mains, with vegan, paleo, and gluten-free options at each course, including brunch salad, vegan ceviche, smoked pork belly bacon, fish or veggie omelet, and French toast with strawberries." - Alex Frane
