A New Location for Estes in Portland’s Concordia Neighborhood

Late last year, chef Patrick McKee announced a new location for Estes, his Italian-American restaurant, in the Concordia neighborhood in Northeast Portland. Their new home on NE 30th and Killingsworth is located in the space that over the years had been Nonna, TEOTE Tavern, and Pleasure Mountain, among others. It also represents a return for Patrick, who cooked nearby at the late, great Dame back in the day.

Patrick was kind enough to chat with me over the weekend (almost to the day of our previous conversation in 2025 regarding their Broder residency) about the new location for Estes.

The celebrated burger cart Sure Shot Burger that operates alongside the Oakshire Beer Hall on NE 42nd Avenue, is looking forward to some changes in the new year. They’ll be transitioning to a brick-and-mortar restaurant located just feet away—the space that has been home to Taqueria Los Pepitos Locos since 2016.

TEOTE Tavern to Open on NE 30th Avenue in the Concordia Neighborhood

The other day I was perusing Instagram and learned that the folks behind TEOTE—which includes the TEOTE House Cafe (closed) and the Mezcalería (also closed)—will open a new spot on NE 30th Avenue just north of Killingsworth in the Concordia neighborhood. This is one of those areas that I like to call a “food nexxus” (a term I used while researching and writing “Food Lovers’ Guide to Queens” over a decade ago) because there is just so much good food and drink around there. The arrival of a TEOTE property is great news for the neighborhood.
