I would never open a restaurant in Portland, just for the following reason. A couple of ladies went to Mexico, got interested in how the old grandmothers made such good consistent tortillas and followed them around to try to pick up and learn as much as they could.[1] They then came back to Portland and opened up a burrito shop. Cue protests and cries of cultural appropriation. If in Portland, that can happen to your restaurant on such a flimsy reason, AND they're increasing minimum wages by 20% on such a low margin business [2], the value proposition quickly changes from "risky gamble" to "credit score suicide".
