Pepper Box Cafe - Portland

The food is excellent and what you would find in New Mexico. There's not much seating, so I suggest getting it to go.

The food is excellent! This place is just a little hole in the wall but it is so good! My husband had Huevos Rancheros and I had Calabacitas. We also got a side of sopapillas served with honey as they should be.

Came here on the last day of summer, so I actually got to sit outside.I had the primo taco ? (the one with pastrami It was fantastic, as was Alyssa (sp? who took my order. She was so wonderful-I really enjoyed chatting with her and swapping recipes.A real Portland experience all the way around!And the price was right for one person for breakfast ?

Good food, good service, good dining area, decent price. I was the first customer for the day so I got very fast service and really fresh ingredients, not sure if it's like that all day. In the 30 minutes that I sat there, the dining area mostly got filled up with customers so it's a pretty popular place.I got the huevos rancheros plate, which comes with two eggs your way over a corn tortilla, served with diced potatoes, pinto beans, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheddar, and red or green chili. It was really good, tasted like a nice home cooked breakfast with lots of effort put into it. The potatoes were delicious and definitely my favorite part. The dining area is pretty cool and cozy, lots of variety in seating options, and they have self-serve water out. I'd definitely recommend this place, but this plate was about $14 before tipping. In my opinion a meal tastes way better when you know it was a good deal, I'd give this place five stars if you could get a simple breakfast like this for under $10.

Best Nm red chili ever. White boy knows how to cook.!!!! Good authentic FOOD, and coffee. Excellent carry out or a patio dine in..Stop in for some pappas.
