Andina is my favorite restaurant in Portland, has been for some time. I've tried every entree and the food is always fresh and amazing. The Scallops and Ahi are my favorites. If going with a big group it is fun to order a bunch of apps in various sizes. The option to order tapas in small, medium or large portions is great. If you need a place to bring an out of towner or client, this is the place to do it. If you like noise and people watching reserve a spot in the bar (just keep in mind you need 5 or more to reserve in the bar). Every night of the week they have a live Peruvian band. The family who owns Andina are wonderfully caring people, which comes through in their staff. Many employees are bi-lingual and extremely knowledgeable in Peruvian culture and food and actually take careful time to answer your questions. Make a reservation because they are full nightly, you will not be disappointed!
Pros: live music in the bar, friendly/knowledgeable staff, lively ambience, fab food
