Hidden Gem in Portland ! Ruta Del Mar is Bringing the Heat with Real Mariscos Flavor 🦐🔥
Right when I walked in, I got hit with good vibes. The place is clean, has a cool coastal/banda feel, and the staff made me feel welcome right away. Music was bumping but not overwhelming, and the tables were spotless. First impression is solid !
I ordered the Mar y Tierra as well as the Molcajete, and everything tasted super fresh. You can tell the seafood is legit — not that frozen, rubbery stuff. Flavors were bold, spicy where they needed to be, and the presentation was clean.
One standout was the Molcajete — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The michelada was 🔥 too — cold, spicy, and rimmed perfectly.
Staff was super friendly and helpful with the menu. Even with a few people in line, I didn’t wait long, and they checked in once food came out. Could tell they actually cared about the customer experience, which goes a long way.
Tables and floors were clean, bathrooms were stocked and fresh. Music set the right mood — felt like I was back in Mexico by the beach. A great place to bring friends, or even come solo and enjoy a beer.
Ruta Del Mar is the real deal if you’re into fresh, authentic Mariscos. Great food, great energy, and definitely worth supporting if you’re in the Portland area. I’ll be back soon for sure.

Oh and bottomless...

Our server Aly/Alley (spelling) was a complete gem…ask her for dish recommendations if you’re on the fence…she was spot on and attentive to our group. This is one of...
