El Pilon Kitchen

I wanna give 10 stars to this place but is not possible! This is the first time tried and everything was amazing Beef empanadas, Yuca fries, pan de bones, milky passion fruit juice, this last one was a game changer I never had something like that before, this place is highly recommended!!

We go here pretty often. It's hard to find GOOD gluten free food the whole family likes. Even my gluten eating teenager loves their cheese empanadas. The only "complaint" I have is that they no longer have the Hawaiian empanadas on their menu, and it's been one of my pregnancy cravings .. lol Otherwise 5 stars ! We love the vibes, the customer service is wonderful, food is always fresh and hot.

I had a small office party catered by El Pilon. It was a positive experience all around. I was confused by some things on the catering menu and needed to ask some questions, Martin responded promptly, and communication was easy. The food arrived on time, and it was really delicious. It was amazing that such a delicious variety of food is gluten free, and Martin made accommodations so that some dishes could be made dairy free as well. When I need catering again, El Pilon will be at the top of my list!

One of the best literally “hole in the wall” places I’ve ever been in Portland. The prices are very fair, the service is speedy, and the food is made to order, fresh and delicious. Definitely a small business Im happy to support.

OMFG, so good. I cannot believe that food this good is tucked away in this little place. We tried most of everything–Arepas, Empanadas, the bowl (which came with tostones, maduros, arroz and super tasty beans, carne), Passion Fruit and Soursop Juice. All super excellent. The staff were super friendly too. We ate with our Colombian friend and she gave it top ratings as well.
