Finally made it to Terlingua with my wife and in-laws last night and it did not disappoint. Though the place was packed, they were very accommodating and had a table ready for us quickly.
And the food? Incredible, delicious, & unique! Terlingua perfectly fills a niche that Portland has lacked for a long time; high quality latin american fare! Can't wait to come back and try the BBQ (they were sold out by the time we arrived... and based on everything I ate, I can understand why).
The beer, wine, and booze menu was top-notch as well :)
The moment you walk in this place, the flood of smells is amazing. We ordered the Ceviche Tostada and the Terlingua Board, which is an assortment of smoked meats, and words cannot describe how good it was!! To top it off, the staff was super friendly which made the whole experience a 10/10. We definitely will be returning on our next trip to Portland, ME :)
We have been here twice and love the food and friendly staff. Both times we shared the tacos and a pulled BBQ plate. There is always great local craft beer on tap as well.
Our second meal here and again it was fantastic! Must haves are the green chili with smoked pork, bbq brisket, and the side of roasted cauliflower with poblano and cheese. Joe the bartender was super friendly and accommodating - definitely our go-to place when in Portland.
Some of the best brunch food around. I had the brisket hash with poached eggs and it was phenomenal!!
We have been to this place twice and I have found the food to be excellent. I had the carnitas tacos last night. They were delicious! My wife had the turkey tostada, which was not only delicious but also very healthy, with avocado slices. We split the roasted cauliflower with cheese, and that was amazing. The place is small and cute. We sat at the bar and very much enjoyed bartender Joe!! Check this place out!! We'll be back soon.
This place is amazing!! I was a bit taken back by the menue nit sure of was things were but I had the green Chile plate and pork belly appetizer..um, can I say amazing!!! Oh and the margariccho margarita, umm...wow!!!
Food was top-notch, loved the beef tongue tacos. Last time had the whole mackerel special, and boy was it ever. Great staff and relaxing atmosphere. Good beer and wine list too.
It was an amazing brunch with the best Benedict iv ever had! Cocktails, food, staff & atmosphere were perfect! We will be back for sure!
Flavorful, melt in your mouth Brisket on a perfectly made toasted biscuit with con queso. Delicious! On par with the green chili soup that I love so much! This restaurant is a great addition to the neighborhood!

Loved everything about it! Had the in between menu and everything was delicious! So savory! The margaritas were sooo good! And the music was a great selection! Definitely headed back to try dinner!
Our first time here and we will definitely return! The food was amazing...we had brisket burnt ends, campechana ceviche and tacos del dia....all were prepared and presented perfectly! Our waitress, Blakeley, was outstanding!
Just a great all around experience. If i had one word to describe the the place. Outstanding.
Brisket and ribs were phenomenal. Perfect bark and flavor. BBQ sauce on side which is how it should be. Cornbread had a honey butter and was perfect. Best BBQ I've had in New England.
I have a serious addiction to their salad. I know, it's just salad and this is a bbq place...but it is seriously awesome. You can pick what you want for protein, all options are yummy. The interior is modern, warm, inviting, and just the right size. I just adore this place! I haven't even tried the booze yet as I am usually grabbing food during work. Looking forward to trying happy hour.
Terlingua is a great spot. Super fun vibe outside and the staff are all really nice and very fun. Make reservations early because it can book up on the weekends. The BBQ is pretty good. The tostada salad was incredible! They also have a great cocktail selection and over 10 beers on tap.
The BBQ platter is good. The meats are all smoky. The sausage was awesome, wish we had gotten more of that. It’s a fun spot in Portland. Definitely worth the visit as you are exploring all the new/fun spots through the city.
Prices are reasonable.
Terlingua is absolutely a Portland hidden gem. Tucked away in Munjoy Hill, it is a sweet escape from the hustle and bustle of the city to a quiet, quaint, colorful and relaxing outdoor (and indoor) dining experience. They’ve done an amazing job with providing lots of multi-level, three-season seating options outdoors. Their staff is kind and attentive. Their food is done well— very well. Everything we’ve had has been top notch. I cannot wait to go back for more! Stop into Terlingua if you’re looking for some great BBQ in Portland with a chill outdoor seating area!
Amazing BBQ and soul warming pozole soup. Honestly, if you love Pozole you must try Terlingua. Grilled Mac and cheese was amazing and unique. Top notch BBQ and cocktails. Lastly, great people! Sit outside and shield yourself in tranquility.
Yo! This place is phenomenal!! You enter into a beautiful market. My eyes wanted to look at everything at once, I didn't know where to start. In the best way! Then the drinks and food!!🤤 im already planning my next visit!
The food was perfection! We shared the taquitos, as well as the chips and queso. I rounded out with the brisket tacos. Best tacos hands down. Brisket wasn't the slightest bit dry. Toppings were an amazing combination of flavors.
Service is where a star was lost for us. When you walk in, you wait in line regardless of having a reservation or not. We ended up being 20 minutes past our reservation time due to waiting for walks in and other reservations.
We will definitely go back because the food was fantastic. Our server was also great, but after clearing our plates we didn't see them or another staff member for almost 30 minutes!!!
We shared the tostada salad and the bbq plate. It was just the right amount of food. Chicken and brisket were kind of underwhelming, but everything else was great!
Terlingua is amazing! We wait for our table in the patio(corral or bar area) meanwhile tasting the margaritas and mezcal, after a few, we went to our table and enjoy an amazing smoke BBQ dinner( the pork belly is so tasty!) . Love it come back soon! The service is so amazing! Hope you see the mushroom earring. 🍄 thanks!
Some of the best brisket I've had. Tacos were great, cocktails are super. Smoked turkey was on point. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is the menu was space on vegetables. I love me some meat, but a couple options would be nice. Maybe I overlooked them on the menu. The outdoor spaces are fantastic. Really well done.
