Salt&Pepper perumex llc — Restaurant in Portland

Dont sleep on this hidden gem! True definition of a hard to find, mom and pop, delicious hole in the wall type of place.

Hidden in the upstairs room of the Mexican minimart, El Campesino PDX. This Peruvian place has the best food out side of Peru, according to my husband! I got the Arroz Con Pollo- the chicken was so perfectly cooked and the rice was so amazing! The blended cilantro gave a flavor very similar to Indian palak paneer while still being it's own distinct dish. The cheese potatoes were so soft and wonderful! My husband chose the Lomo Saltado which was well flavored and good portion sized. He had the same dish in Peru and said it was definitely on an equal footing! Our child got Tallarin Saltado with chicken and that was a great noodle dish! Definitely big enough for 2 people to share so they have another serving for lunch tomorrow! We also got an order of Picarones which were so amazing! Such great natural sweetness of the sweet potato and that fig syrup was the perfect compliment! This is also one of the few places to find Inca Cola- which is basically bubble gum flavored soda- and a great...

We just ordered two chicken quesadillas, I’m still eating while I write my review. I live just a couple of blocks away, so we have eaten here numerous times. I should have left a review sooner, in all honesty. We love their food! Their ingredients are high quality, & customer service is exceptional. My husband picked our food up tonight, they told him to tell me hi, which warmed my heart so much! Service like that is hard to come by post pandemic. Their nachos are $17 now, but don’t be deterred. They are HUGE! I’m talking party platter huge. Ceviche is fabulous. We have enjoyed everything we have ordered. All I can say is you will not have any regrets ordering...

This is our 3rd time visiting Salt&Pepper and it was great! If I could give 10 stars I definitely would. The owners are profesional and super kind. The food quality is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time. I always go for the "Ceviche mixto" and OMG! As a Mexican, I recognize the best Ceviche is from Peru. My husband has tried 3 different dishes and he is very impressed about the delicious flavors too. They also offer Mexican food like "Tacos al Pastor" which my kids have everytime we come, they are also de-lee-shus! The prices are fairly reasonable. And lets not forget about their desserts, I'm inlove with the alfajores😋...
