The first thing you noticed about Pambiche is its odd exterior painting. Its bright colors reveal its innermost connectivity to the tropical islands of the Caribbean. This restaurant looks bigger on the outside. Inside, it is very small, almost too small. Seating is very crowded especially during busy hours. If you go during the busy hours then expect to sit by some people that you may not know. However, there is seating available outside too (approx eight 2-person tables).\r

As far as the food goes, it is one of the best in the Northwest. A lot of the food items on the menu are foreign to other restuarantes such as their yuca con mojo, tostones, beverages. They waiters serve a banana sauce with the tostones and a very wet hot sauce with everything else. \r

The prices are higher than most restaurants. (3 dollars for a can of soda). The same meal at another restuarante typically would run 2-3 dollars less than Pambiche. I paid fourteen dollars for a plato that would've cost twelve bucks at any other Latin/Mexican restuarante. So if you pack a heavy appetite, bring mucho dinero.\r

Pros: only authentic Cuban food that is in Oregon
