A new Mexican restaurant has taken root downtown, right near PSU and the South Park Blocks. Madrina, which opened in late August, offers lunchtime staples like tacos, burritos, and quesadillas in its informal mercadito-themed space during the day. At night, Madrina's neighboring dining room opens for dinner, with hearty plates like cochinita pibil and pollo rostizado, plus a wine list composed entirely of Latina winemakers from the Willamette Valley.

Standing onstage Monday, flanked by Caldwell, Lee thanked the 'amazing, amazing Portland community,' dedicating the award to the city and even shouting out Portland Monthly's Karen Brooks.
