Where are the Best Margarita in Portland, Oregon?
I love the food in this place and cannot imagine those who do not like the food. It is fresh, tasty, consistent . . . just overall excellent. The happy hour street taco is one of my favorites (the veggie one), the tortilla soup, goat cheese quesa,, etc, etc. chips and salsa are excellent! Go with several friends and enjoy! Sometimes, not usually, the service might be less attentive, but over the years, I have usually found it to be excellent.The margaritas are great. If you like it less sweet tell them you like it on the sour side!I do wish they would have afternoon hours and Sunday would be great, but understand they may not be able to be open all hours and days. Pros + Pleasant, especially in summer outside or in.Cons – Hours/days open; parking (take the bus)
The first time we went to Oba, we had a three-course meal that was pretty good– but the service was inattentive and bordering on rude.The second time we went was amazing. We ordered appetizers (the gazpacho was so unique and refreshing on a hot summer day) and drinks. Their main room was closed for an event, so we sat in the crowded bar. We had no trouble finding a quaint window seat; when we were asked to move to accommodate a 10-top, we did so gladly. When we were asked to move a second time, our $60+ bill (for two people) was taken care of by management! Now that’s what I call good service.Pros + Very original menu, good dinner packagesCons – Lack of parking, erratic waitstaff
This place does a great job for the most part. We frequent this place often, I would say about 2-3 times a month for dinner and 4-5 time a month for Happy Hour. I commonly order the mixed grill which is great for dinner. I did however really like the ribs they had with the meal but the new Carnitas substitution is not bad either. For Happy Hour I usually order Margaritas, Flautas, and wings. All of which is fantastic, especially at $3.00 each! Salsa and chips are great. We can definitely tell a difference in who prepares it. One of the people that prepares it make’s it very spicy. I’ve experienced it on many occasions. I don’t mind it, but the wife and Kid’s hate it when it happens (which is not too often). Just some input, not a complaint.My only gripe is that the Bartender (Hispanic male) can be a grouchy priick at times. I mean c’mon buddy. I’ve had multiple guest with me ask me on many occasions “Is that guy in a bad mood or something?”. To be fair, I’ve also caught him in a see
I love this restaurant! The fresh made warm tortillas are alway tasty. The staff is very accomodati8ng and friendly. Their twist to familiar recipes are so wonderful, I am very happy to see a restaurant serving Latino foods that are not smothered in cheddar cheese!Cons – small place and often crowded… that’s not a bad thing
Hmmm…When does being a nurse make someone a food expert? Oh, and growing up on Taco Bell doesn’t make you a Mexican food expert either. I have eaten at Taqueria Nueve a million times, and I have to say, the guys at Taqueria Nueve know what they are doing in that kitchen. If you go out to dinner and expect to have your culo kissed like a spoiled princess, don’t bother going to Taqueria Nueve. The average American palate would be disapointed with these authentic Oaxacan dishes -but mostly due to ignorance. It’s without spicy red sauces, everything smothered in cheese, and sour cream on everything….Guess what? News Flash! That’s NOT athentic! If you show up looking for chips and salsa, you won’t like this place. If you want quality, authentic Mexican cuisine made with fresh, local ingredients – and authentic recipes that don’t need correction by ignorant diners that know nothing about food, go to Taqueria Nueve. The drinks are great, the tacos are to die for, the empanadas (chang
