Guero

Güero, opened in February 2017 by chef Megan Sanchez and Alec Morrison at 200 NE 28th Avenue in Portland, built its reputation around the torta — particularly the torta ahogada, a Jalisco-style sandwich drowned in chile sauce. Named Portland's Rising Star Restaurant of 2017 by The Oregonian and ranked among the city's 40 best restaurants in 2025, Güero remains a casual, highly regarded destination for authentic Mexican flavors.
