Driving around in that area we found this restaurant with traditional Mexican cuisine. We just tried the tacos asada and pastor , home made tortillas, meat was lean but we prefer more seasoning in our Mexican food. Place was clean and service was great. Traditional aguas frescas available.

We love to stop in and get a Pizza pretzel or a cinnamon pretzel so good. It is always very busy. But worth the wait.A great snack while you are at the Woodburn Outlet mall.

Our meals were OUTSTANDING! The Burrito's were big enough to serve TWO and quite flavorful (our granddaughter couldn't quit eating until it was almost gone!) My dish was excellent except I should have asked them to hold the zucchini! The staff is friendly and it looked to us that it was a neighborhood "go to" type of place!!

I'm not sure what it is about this place. Maybe I just come in late in the day or something but the service is poor and the food only passing. Today I stopped in for a quick bite so I could charge my Tesla and the server, although sweet, barely gave me the time of day after I got my plate. After 15 minutes of waiting to pay my bill I finally had to walk into the kitchen to get someone to come out front.
The place needs a makeover, the bathroom was out of paper towels and dirty, and the manager seemed not to care.
The employees have potential. I see this as a management issue. No training and no supervision leads to poor, uncaring service and mediocrity.
I will walk over to Panera or Red Robin next time.

Large long tables accommodated our large family but not conducive for talking. The pizza was the draw and they delivered. All the varieties we had were excellent although I wasn't a fan of the Hawaiian. I've had much better. The salad bar is awesome. Odd thing was when I ordered my GREEK salad they kept asking what type of salad dressing I wanted. Blue cheese? Um no.

Some of the finest Mexican food I have ever had. This small homey place is run by two brothers who have formal training and have worked in some high class restaurants. This little place has the best mole I have ever tasted. Everything is made from scratch and it shows. Excellent guacamole and chips that are light and crispy, not greasy. Generous servings. Nice selection of drinks.

Full disclosure: I eat out a lot. 5 days a week for lunch, and again on weekends when we're busy and we don't want to cook. So please don't judge me, this is our station in life. This franchise opened about 2 years ago, and when it first opened, it was a disaster. But over the course of a year, they got a lot better. Our last visit today indicates they lost their way. First red flag: My wife asked for a margie with Grand Marnier. I ordered the same. The server looked at us like we were speaking in Klingon. You mean with "passion fruit", she asked? OMG! One of the reasons you choose a national chain restaurant is because the staff is trained: how could our server not know what was in Red Robin's Signature Margarita? I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich (FYI: Wendy's version is much better) and Deb ordered a burger, "medium well, with no onions". The waitress repeated it back, "medium well, no onions". It came back far rarer than what any sane person would consider "medium", and topped with onions. My wife choked it down, pulling off the onions, rather than sending it back, graciously saving me from that awkward situation of letting mine get cold while we waited. So when waitress #2 finally returned (this was a second waitress, the first one either left because her shift was over, or was on break) and asked if everything was OK, we told her it most certainly was not. Then the manager shows up, gets up to speed, and starts issuing excuses. "Orders were swapped, it's a busy time of day, etc, etc, I'll comp you for her burger". My wife initially declined, she just wanted to leave, and put this behind us, without further embarrassment. Then he comes back, and says "the order your waitress entered is what you got". Now he has my attention. When someone is unhappy, the first order of business is to not make more excuses, and definitely do not blame my wife because your wait staff got it wrong. You stop talking and fix it. He comped the burger, and we tried to pay with the table's point-of-sale system. Of course it didn't work, so waitress #2 has to come back and settle the tab. For what its worth, waitress #2 was pretty good. I'll check back in 6 months to see if they got their footing back, but there is a Panera is next door, and Panera knows how to treat people, so I may never go back.

Our first time eating here, going by ratings we were sure we'd get a great meal. We were 100% satisfied. Waitress was very kind and attentive, service was quick. Meals came so fast from kitchen that we had to let them cool a moment. Had Kung Pao Chicken and Broccoli beef, both dishes were fantastic!

Over all the Sushi was good, but some of the items are consistently cold. We have visited the restaurant several times and found that to be true every time. Service and prices are excellent.
