PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — A Mexican-American bar and eatery in Portland’s Foster-Powell neighborhood is recognizing National Hispanic Heritage Month with an event series full of food, arts and culture.
Found on 6433 SE Foster Rd., Bar Carlo ’s celebration will kick off each Sunday through Oct. 13 — with this upcoming Sunday marking the start of NHHM.

Chef and Owner Melinda Archuleta told KOIN 6 her mother suggested “Domingueando” as the series name. The word directly translates to “Sundaying,” which she likens to a wholesome version of what is known as “Sunday Funday” in the U.S.
“Domingueando is more leisurely, more relaxed, more about being with your people and enjoying their presence…” Archuleta said. “That really was the perfect word for what we’re trying to do, which is bring a little bit of that way of living to Portland, so we can share a different kind of just way of being on a Sunday.”
According to the restaurateur, Bar Carlo has hosted several one-off events since opening in 2008 — but never a series. But the stacked lineup means this series could be the first of many.
