Best Cafés in Northeast Portland

Most of the food was very good except the chicken was dry, overcooked. Crab in the special was overtaken by the tomatoes. The Caesar is always good. The ciappino was said to be very good but different.

My table was ready right when I arrived and I was quickly seated. The restaurant was super busy! Just about every single table was taken. I know the waitstaff were doing the best they could but they definitely needed more staff. It took a little while for the server to come take our order and then it took another while to get our food. The humita and abuela Chona are my favorite and as always they were delicious! It was disappointing that they empanadas came out first and then later the fries. I would have liked everything at once. And then we didn’t see anyone from waitstaff until the end of the I was able to order some to go, but not seeing waitstaff, we had to wait a while plus no water refills. I understand how busy it was and just hope that on busy weekend nights they add more staff to help. Other than that, food was great, the waitstaff that was there was friendly I just know they were slammed.

A group of friends that regularly get together at Marco’s really appreciate the wide range of options in the brunch and lunch menus. We enjoy the ambiance and service!

Valentine's Day special was wonderful. I was pleased to see a full house that night.
