PORTLAND, Ore., May 12, 2025
Estimados amigos,
As we continue with the reconstruction of the Portland Mercado, we want to ensure you stay informed about the progress of our beloved Mercado. These recent updates reflect a shared vision of what the future of the Portland Mercado will look like.
We are deeply grateful to every business owner who brought energy, flavor, and culture to the Portland Mercado over the years. We’re cheering them on as they continue their journeys. A heartfelt thank you to Havana Station, Fernando’s Alegria, Principe Maya, Tierra del Sol, Que Bacano, XoCOTL, Tita’s Kitchen, and Barrio.
Construction began Monday, May 12th, an exciting milestone in our journey forward.
We anticipate officially reopening in Spring of 2026. We’ll continue to keep you updated as new milestones are reached.
Thanks to the generous support of Prosper Portland, the Oregon Community Foundation, Harbourton Foundation, and countless individual donors. To this date we have raised over $1,060,000 toward our rebuilding efforts. To contribute towards the Portland Mercado rebuild fund please go to haciendacdc.org/donate
A New Beginning: The reimagined Portland Mercado will feature enhanced commercial spaces, a new commissary kitchen, more community gathering areas, a lower bar and a rooftop terrace and bar while keeping our colorful food carts.
We are excited for this next chapter and grateful for your continued love and support. Muchísimas gracias for standing with us as we rebuild and reimagine the Portland Mercado.
Saludos,
