South American Vegan deliciousness - Edit
Overall, the food is great. Strong flavors and bold choices. There are nit-picky things, but I did enjoy the meal. I will say that the empanadas and sopapilla weee delightful. The quiche was not my favorite, but it was not terrible. More of a matter of taste. Nice interior and easy to find. Quite an enjoyable experience. Also, I appreciate the focus on South American and not relying on Mexican flavors, which I also love. It is a unique palate experiences

Entire menu is plant based! - Edit
Had a lovely experience the other night at Epif where all the food is vegan and comes on small plates - but it’s all shareable. My date and I picked 3 dishes each and shared every one. We had 2 empanadas which were excellent, the salad, a polenta cake, the butternut squash bisque, and the fried pumpkin bread. I was stuffed! I didn’t even take any pictures - I was so enjoying the food and the company that I didn’t even think about it.
Read morePros: Everything is vegan, Warm and open atmosphere , Friendly service
Cons: Moderately expensive, Hard to find parking

Pretty good - Edit
The food here is pretty good and they definitely do a good job at plating and paying attention to detail. The cocktails are also good. It's just a little expensive for the amount that you get.
Read morePros: Tasty food
Cons: Portions are small for the price

Flavorful - Edit
There was so much flavor in the dishes! We really enjoyed every dish, especially the soup and the sauces for the empanadas. The staff was so helpful in guiding us what to order - we had a great experience!

Ok but underwhelmed - Edit
We came here with high expectations based on a number of reviews but found the food just ok. The stuffed peppers and salad were less than stellar—lacking in flavor and presentation. The quiche and baked empanada were better, but every dish was covered in dill which we found overpowering and lacking in creativity. With all the vegan options in Portland, I sadly wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

Cute to go cocktail mason jars. - Edit
Empanada B was very greasy, but amazing, the Ají Verde sauce was bursting with flavor. Everything was well balanced with flavor. Much more we’d like to try.

Epif is one of the best, most fancy vegan dining experiences you can have in Portland. Their food is art and the flavors come in fireworks. They have amazing cocktails, and scintillating, savory dishes. Treat yo self at Epif ASAP.

Gotta rinse the Q! - Edit
I figured a native chef from South America would know to thoroughly rinse the quinoa before cooking. I am one of the 15% of people who are sensitive to the saponin film that needs to be rinsed off. Loose stool in the morning.
Read moreI should have known this place would be less than expected when I was the only customer there and nextdoor at Güero esa hoppin'. The Q dish said it included garbanzos, and I found both at the bottom of the salad ( not billed as a salad). Chips were insipid. In the end I was still so hungry I had to eat more when I got home.
Pros: Cloth napkins, Friendly service, Nice music
Cons: Not enough food for the price, Quinoa poorly prepared, Food not as billed on the menu

Exquisite ambiance, wonderful food - Edit
It's impossible not to be charmed by this warm, inviting, artful, cozy little restaurant. Especially impressed with the pimentos rellenos, and whatever their house-made moz was in their squash bread. Melty and an absolute joy to taste. The mocktails were lovely as well!

Very delicious - Edit
We tried all three salsas they offer. Each was very fresh and flavorful. The sopapillas con queso were very delicious. We tried four types of empanadas which were great but honestly not worth the price ($26 for 4). Lastly we tried the pastel de choclo which had a great flavor and fresh tasting but I felt it could have used a crunchy element as the entire thing had a mushy texture.
Read morePros: Very fresh ingredients
Cons: A bit expensive

Bust out that credit card - Edit
The food is good but expensive. Maybe it was an off night or something because the staff weren’t as friendly as one would expect from a vegan restaurant. Just my humble opinion.

Amazing Andes inspired meal - Edit
This may be my last dinner in Portland as I am leaving tomorrow around 8:30 PM for San Francisco. I am so happy that I got recommendations to eat here. This vegan restaurant has the most amazing South American food that is inspired from the Andes.
Read moreI ordered a non-alcoholic drink, a small plate, a medium plate and a grande plate and then I finished off with the most luscious dessert. I am so glad I came here. This meal was simply outrageous. The flavor profiles were original and exciting to my palate. I want to get the recipe for the last dish, Charquican. I wonder if Chef will share it.
Pros: Vegan gf options, Flavorful food, Wonderful staff
Cons: Not a thing!
