Launched in 2015, the Portland Mercado has quickly become an indispensable Southeast Portland gem, featuring a wine bar, coffee shop, carniceria, and nine food carts representing different corners of Latin American cuisine — including Principe Maya. Opened by chef Edilberto Puch after he experienced a pandemic layoff, Principe Maya’s Yucatecan offerings are grounded in the peninsula’s “three sisters”: corn, beans, and squash. Highlights include brazo de reina, corn dough filled with boiled eggs and ground pumpkin seed, and polcan, masa balls stuffed with beans, epazote, onion, chives, and ground pumpkin seed. The Mercado offers covered outdoor and indoor seating.
