Recently nominated one of the Top 50 Restaurants in the Country by the New York Times, Lilia offers dishes like Pork Collar Confit and fresh Aguachile, leaning on Chef Juan's Mexican-American roots while showcasing hyper-seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The airy, unpretentious space and breezy patio befit the South Waterfront vibe.

                    Amazing food. Each course was better than the last. The pork collar was melt-in-your-mouth. Would come back again.

                    Love this place, feels like the chef sold a large chunk of his soul to get this good at making things delicious and it was worth it. Wine pairings are perfect.

                    Wonderful experience all around - friendly, professional and attentive service that was clearly organized and intentional, but not pretentious. Creative and delicious food that was incredibly unique - I wanted to eat and enjoy it slowly as it was so good. Highly recommend!

                    What a wonderful experience! The service is beyond compare and the food is thoughtfully prepared both in presentation and taste; each course, along with each wine pour, is accompanied by a detailed overview by the server. Our party of 4 enjoyed The Chef's Dinner (a 6 course prix fixe) which we all loved, with two of us indulging in the wine pairing, which was equally as delightful. Highly recommend Lilia Comedor, a hyper local farm-to-table Portland gem! Be prepared to find parking as there is not a designated area for restaurant patrons.

                    Every dish at Lilia was presented absolutely beautifully and so delicious! We dined with a group and ordered each menu item. We couldn’t pick a favorite. The flavors and spice levels were fantastic. The Lilia team members were really friendly and the wine program featuring many Mexican wines and BIPOC, Women, and LGBTQ+ Winemakers paired beautifully with the food. With how local/seasonal the dishes are, hope we can dine here again soon!

                    This is an extraordinary experience, and not only for the tastebuds (though mine were leaping for joy after this exceptional meal.) The staff, including the chef, were so very human, warm, informed, engaging. We sat at the counter and enjoyed hearing the chef's stories, his passion for seasonal food and building community through farm-to-table relationships. We also learned a lot about mezcal, the servers were extremely knowledgable and willing to take time to share their time and warmth with us. We left feeling like we'd just gone on a three-hour vacation for all of our senses to enjoy. And again, the food was truly some of the most beautiful tastes I've experienced in my life.

                    Once again chef and team at Lilia absolutely killed it! We sat at the counter our favorite spot to watch the Lilia team create magnificent dishes. Every single dish that was put in front of us was beautifully plated and delectable. Lilia is a perfect place to take a date, friend, and family. There is something amazing for every human who enjoys perfectly made food.
