About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
Award-winning Chef Juan Gomez, who helped República garner best new restaurant nods from Bon Appétit and James Beard, is taking a more personal approach to PNW cuisine. Recently nominated one of the Top 50 Restaurants in the Country by the New York Times, Lilia offers dishes like Pork Collar Confit and fresh Aguachile, leaning on Chef Juan's Mexican-American roots while showcasing hyper-seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The airy, unpretentious space and breezy patio befit the South Waterfront vibe.

                    Nice take on PNW-Mex fusion. Dishes were creative, nicely presented and full of flavor. The server was very personable and knowledgeable. All very good But the prices were outrageous. Even a couple of days later can't shake the feeling of just bring ripped off. The price for the tlayuda was astounding. If you are on an expense account or someone else's dime, go for it.

                    This is arguably the best meal I have had since I moved to Portland 2 years ago. So fresh, unique and every bite was so delicious. Dishes were unexpected with an interesting combination of seasonal ingredients from local farmers with a regional Mexican flair. Flavors were nuanced, complex, and service was excellent. Chef presented each dish with a story at the Chef’s counter and the bartender made us fabulous mocktails. Everyone was super nice.
