¡Están invitados! Join us for dinner at Madrina, exquisite Mexican cuisine in the heart of Portland. Madrina is more than just a restaurant—it’s a space rooted in care, culture, and community. With a mature and motherly atmosphere, Madrina offers refined Mexican cuisine in a setting that feels like home. The menu celebrates traditional flavors while embracing creativity, prepared with intention and love.
The name Madrina reflects the spirit owner Lucy De Leon hopes to cultivate: one of mentorship, empowerment, and support—especially for other Latinas. Like a true godmother, Lucy aims to uplift and guide others, using her platform to create opportunities, amplify voices, and nurture the next generation of leaders in Portland’s food scene.
At Madrina, every dish is a reflection of Lucy’s journey—from the fields to the kitchen, from daughter to leader, from dreamer to mentor. It's a place where culture is honored, where women are empowered, and where everyone is welcome to gather, share, and feel seen.
Our partner in the Willamette Week Give!Guide campaign, Lucy is generously donating a portion of dinner sales to WaterStrong. ¡Gracias Lucy!
