I have been going to Pambiche for years (well over 10 years) and I have never been so disappointed. They got rid of the oxtails which was one of the most delicious things on their menu. Not only that, I was told by the waitress they removed tostones from their menu as well, so the only option is to have ripe plantains. If you don’t like sweet plantains, then you’re out of luck. I ended up ordering the Plato cubano, when we got the plate, the food looked amazing. However what we weren’t expecting was this to be extremely flavorless. We tried adding the two sauces to the the plate to give it more flavor, but it wasn’t enough. Over time the recipe for the two table sauces have changed dramatically and now has a very mild taste. I gave two stars because the appetizer order of empanadas and the beans that came with the Plato cubano were absolutely delicious.

It's been a long time since I ate here and now I wonder why it's been so long! It is delicious. We tried almost all the desserts and several entrées. The empanada is a must try. There's several flavors to choose from. The coleslaw is more like a salad and it's really good!

We were looking a fun new experience before an event in Portland. This was a great choice. Delicious food and drinks. My sister is hard of hearing and the background music was a little tough for her to hear our conversation but it didn't effect our good time. Our server was great and attentive.

Is this appropriate for girls night celebrating my birthday in July? Does it have live Latin music Sat nites?

Its very small. The outdoor seating is on a public sidewalk. The food is excellent. It depends on the type of ambience you want.

Do they serve bistec empanizado or pallomia? Also do they have pastelitos?

We no longer serve bistec empanizado or bistec de palomilla. We did do a killer empanizado circa 2002-2004 and palomilla a caballo right up until the pandemic, but both plates unfortunately are no longer with us. We do however make empanadas dulces de guayana con queso (guava & cheese pastries) that are quite similar to the pastelitos de guayaba popular at many Miami bakeries. I prefer our version and think you will too!

Do they take dinner reservations?

Currently I am not sure. I went in yesterday and it was fairly steady so I don't think they were necessary.

I see menu items that could possibly be vegan. Are there any actual vegan options?

Do they still offer Batidos (milkshakes)? We would travel there just to have one. I don't see it on the menu.
