The chicken tamales have a green bean and potato slice in them, the rice is fluffy, the flavor and consistency of the beans is perfection (coming from a bean feen), the salsas are fresh and flavorful, and to round it all out they have a cabbage and sour cream combo that is a chefs kiss on this wonderful dish. I will admit that this is the only dish I've had here -but I have it a lot! If I'm lucky, I eat here 4x/month. It's my favorite Friday treat! And while the barn is a perfectly lovely place to sit down with friends, I usually just scoop my tamales and enjoy them in the privacy of my own home. The folks that work here are also super sweet. 1000% recommend.

The casual ambiance, high food quality, and low prices are exactly what I want from a food truck.

Wow, I can't believe I slept on Pupuseria Del Valle for so long before trying it out for the first…read moretime this past summer. Since then, I've visited a few times and have ordered a few different types of pupusas, all of which have been absolutely delicious. Each pupusa is freshly prepared and served with curtido (pickled cabbage slaw). Each pupusa is a pretty large size - I order two each time, and 1 1/2 in, I'm usually pretty full. Pupuseria Del Valle operates out of a food truck in Common Fields. Unlike some of the other food trucks there, you order directly at the food truck's window. After ordering, you receive a restaurant pager, so you can sit down and wait for your food. The wait time is usually between 10-15 minutes. I'd never gotten a chance to try a pupusa (only gorditas, which are somewhat similar) before eating them here. I'm so glad I tried them for the first time at Pupuseria Del Valle, because they are now one of my favorite foods!

I was glad to see that I could find papusas in the Corvallis/Albany area and have had this place on…read moremy list for a few months. I tried their bean and cheese, cheese, and pork papusas with curtido on a warm Saturday morning. While I'd ordered only two, one of the choices was accidentally given with my order. They brought out the correct one for free, so I ended up with three. The bean and cheese and cheese were my favorites. While I'm used to green curtido, the purple tasted as delicious! It had just the right amount of tang. The food was quite filling and I had to take a box to go. By the way, this is a food card with a secure location in a small food truck area located south of downtown, within walking distance of many shops. The two staff working were kind but there was some mild confusion when I placed the order, which was compensated for by them promptly making a correction to the order.

We're talking early 80s... a whole different world. You had folks still hanging on to the 70s like it owed them money bell-bottoms, wild personalities, and people that were just downright funny without even trying. I swear, half the entertainment wasn't even the ice cream, it was just sitting there watching humanity stroll by in all its glory. But let's not get it twisted the ice cream absolutely hits the spot. This is that soul food for the student grind. When studying runs too long, when the day's been rough, when the Oregon heat sneaks up on you, or when you just need a little reset... this is the place. Scoop after scoop, flavor after flavor, it never lets you down. And being right there by the University of Oregon? Come on. There's just something about grabbing a cone on campus that feels right. Timeless. Like it belongs there. Customer service has always been solid, the vibe is iconic, and the whole place carries this charm that refuses to fade. Some things change over the years... this place just keeps being exactly what it should be. Five stars. Always has been. Go Ducks !!

The milk in the bubble tea varies from drink to drink, but will be either non-dairy creamer, whole milk, or condensed milk. They do not have alternative milks. Their boba was not ready so I tried brown sugar crystal instead and it was tasty and chewy like a stiff jelly. Getting the drink at 0% sugar plus this add-on was plenty sweet for me. The server was friendly and helpful and answered my various questions. I wanted to understand if the drink thru is drinks only? I have been harboring a desire for "drive thru sushi" for years, but alas, their drive thru is drinks only. As for the food, the veggie taco was very tasty. It seemed to contain warm rice, tofu, avocado, cucumber, lettuce, cilantro, carrots and ginger dressing . The shell is a fried combo of seaweed and rice paper. The tamago and oshinko rolls were standard fare, tasty but nothing special. The restrooms were marked gender specific, but the women's room at least was a one seater with a locking door. For parking, I was told it is ok to park in the spots marked "reserved."

Prices are still reasonable, even with inflation. This is such an amazing small, local business to support. It's been in the same family for two generations now. Clearly they are doing something right, and I will continue to return. Review 12 of 2025.
