This is a perfect place to try a few things and share with other people.I went with my boyfriend and we ordered the El Diablo Arepa, a Smokey Pollo Plate, and 3 Arepitas. Everything was excellent. We kept saying that we were getting so full but could not stop eating. We were both really pleasantly surprised by the El Diablo. He LOVES pork belly so we order it a lot whenever we go out to eat (in all it's wonderful forms) but it can be too fatty for my taste sometimes. But this was so meaty and delicious.I am excited to try the other location in Alberta. If I had 1 gripe, it would be the odd hours at each location. Make sure you check their hours of operation before you go to either location!!! But definitely make it a point to check this place out. You won't be disappointed.
We tried Teote for lunch today. We ordered the bowls and they were pretty yummy and came out fast. Loved the plantains and the shreeded beef was on point. The only thing that baffled me were the arepas, which were pre-cooked (maybe defrosted) and quickly reheated, super dense instead of fluffy and made with made maseca or some coarser corn flour ... Not with harina Pan which is what Venezuelan and Colombian arepas are made of. If these were made fresh and with the right flour, it would have been the perfect lunch... But the arepa, which is the staple and star of any Venezuelan dish, was disappointing.The host that took our order was very nice and attentive. We liked the service.
Great food they did ask for vaccine card so make sure you bring it. Would definitely eat here again
Lots of food for the price! Nice buttery arepas and delicious margs! Kind of a small cafe space not super interesting no amazing ambiance but nice in terms of its proximity to other cool places
Food here is absolutely delicious! Very fresh and creative! Honestly one of my favorite places to eat while in Portland.
Teote is a fabulous choice for individual or family style eating! Their food is top notch, authentic, and delicious! I recently placed a large order for a work event and upon delivery discovered that Postmates had not given me two bags worth of food. My practice manager went over to the Teote location on SE 12th where I had ordered from and they were so kind and gracious about replacing the missing food. Our team has varied diets of vegans, vegetarians, gluten free, and meat eaters - everyone was so happy to find amazing and delectable options from one place. 10/10 would recommend!
I've had ok experiences in the past, but service is definitely not what it used to be. I was extremely disappointed with the employee that was working at the counter on December 29th 2021 at 5:50pm We ordered 2 beers and 2 plates of food, we both went up to the counter together and were holding separate menus but decided to pay together. When the food arrived we discovered she only charged us up for only one plate.... She did not apologize or offer to make it right. We were on a time crunch and decided to just leave at that point since we had already waited 30 minutes for our food and also noticed take out orders seem to take priority over waiting customers. She also asked for vaccination cards in a condescending way and did not very ID'S to ensure it was our Vaccinatio cards which makes the entire thing useless and just a feel good tactic... Anyone can just show anyone else's documents. We appreciate the enhanced safety, but not the incompetence.
Far far from what it used to be. Only the first floor was open. The register kid was confused about what was available and was not having a good day. They didn't have lemons or limes, and many of the dishes where crossed out (also no Chorizo, only some kind of soy substitute); portions were much smaller.I'm hoping this is just a result of reopening, cuz this used to be an amazing place where I brought many out of town folk. Wish you the best Teote.
The service was good but unfortunately the flavors were not banging. Also the serving size of food given was not entirely satiating.
This place was delish!! A must visit spot to eat in Portland:)
