Sushi and Tacos Under One Roof in Bridgton, Maine

Weird combination? Maybe. Perfect combination? Definitely.

Elevation Sushi and Tacos is the brainchild of Kim Morton, Mike Perez, and their son-in-law John Dexter. All three moved from Los Angeles to Maine several years ago. What they really missed from California was sushi and street tacos. So Kim who is a schoolteacher and had owned a restaurant got together with Mike and John and opened Elevation Sushi and Tacos.

Down East Magazine did a great story on this place and went there to sample both sushi and tacos. The small restaurant in Bridgton has a whole section dedicated to sushi and another to tacos. The Down East writer enjoyed everything he ordered but was not adventurous enough to try the sushi nachos.

They just recently offered a very successful class where they taught how to make your own sushi! Follow them on Facebook for dates for the next class.

They opened in June 2021. John has been making sushi for over 10 years all over. He's had some amazing training as an apprentice with Iron Chef Morimoto. It's worth the drive to Bridgton to check out his skills. Hell, even the show Wild Fed (on the Outdoor Channel) stopped by for dinner during their episode about bluefin tuna!

Come find out for yourself if sake goes with tacos and if margaritas go with sushi. Spoiler alert - they do! They are very excited about the upcoming year and this could just be the thing you need after our first significant snow!
