Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in Portland

The flavors are fantastic - complex, but not pretentious. Our party ate through the entire menu, which is encouraged and it felt like we were on a food adventure with each dish building on the last. Staff was delightful and informative. As a non-drinker I liked my mocktail choices. The dining room had cozy good vibes. We will be going back!

Incredible. The staff are absolutely lovely. Food is phenomenal. Tells a story and pays homage to the culture.

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.

The place has a good atmosphere. The service is great, They are attentive without being obtrusive a hard balance to strike. The food is good. The value at happy hour was quite good. Really do my wife and I finish dinner at around $50 and that was with 2 ciders. It was a perfect place to have dinner being only a mile from the Moda center where we saw a concert that night. If you are looking for a place to eat that is close to event centers this is a great option.

Loved everything about the Restaurant from service, to selection, to presentation. Everything was executed with care and confidence. Food was amazing and authentic from the various regions in Mexico. I highly recommend Yototo!! Very authentic cuisine and delicious!!
