Reception

Willamette Week 's restaurant critic Michael C Zusman said Casa Zoraya, Master Kong, and OK Omens were Portland's best new restaurants of 2018. [19] The newspaper has also recommended Casa Zoraya ceviche, vegetables with ají, [20] and lomo saltado criollo. [21] In 2019, Krista Garcia of The Infatuation wrote, "This casual Peruvian spot serves creative takes on things like ceviche and lomo saltado that we like a lot, and the best way to keep the bill down is to come with a few people and split a bunch of dishes." [22] Brooke Jackson-Glidden included the ceviche carretillero in Eater Portland 's 2020 overview of "healthy Portland restaurant plates that don't feel like a bummer". [23] Casa Zoraya was also included in the website's 2024 list of the city's 38 best restaurants and food carts. [12] Eater Portland has recommended the restaurant for its ceviche, [10] its seafood options, [24] and its patio. [25] In 2024, Casa Zoraya was included in The Oregonian 's list of Portland's 25 best patios and rooftop bars for sun, [8] Tasting Table 's overview of the city's 40 best restaurants, [26] and Time Out Portland 's list of the city's 24 best restaurants.
