Reasonably priced for quality of ingredients. Anything fried is going to be much crispier in store than delivery but they're quick and I've been pleasantly surprised by their service.

It was not crowded, there were 2 servers, yet ours could not bring us a third fork and napkin despite our request - I ended up using my friend's spoon. Basically never came back after serving the food, and yes, they were waiting on others. We couldn't even get them to bring us the check - had to go up to the bar in the back room to pay. It felt like we were being ignored because we were 3 older women.

As for the food, I typically get a tuna melt, which is always flavorful and satisfying. My only disappointment has been the soup. I got a cup of the Southwestern Bean soup, and it was absolutely flavorless. No salt, spices. Maybe it was a fluke, but personally I will probably not try the soup here again. As for pricing, it's pretty average. Not too expensive, but not cheap either. Ava's is a pretty popular spot, so in the morning or around lunchtime, don't expect a quick wait. But I've never had to wait SUPER long to get a drink or food. The staff is also friendly and professional. Overall, I'll probably go here again, mainly because the seating area there is one of my favorite places to study.

After my last review, I got over the missing avocados and realized how freaking delicious this…read moreplace is. Is it the sauce? The healthy options? Probably the sauce, either way it is bomb. When I lived in Corvallis I ordered the bbq tofu AT LEAST once a week. I've since graduated and moved to a new place, but one thing remains the same - MY LOVE FOR CAFE YUMM. Probably a huge case of "don't know what you got til it's gone" and let me tell you, I am OBSESSED. It's not even just me, my friends and I talk about cafe yumm almost every time we get together, and this is years after leaving Corvallis or anywhere remotely close to a cafe yumm (devastating). I used to race to the other terminal before my flight at PDX so I could eat cafe yumm. My sister goes to school in Portland now and I make her bring home two bottles of that dang yumm sauce whenever she comes home. I've tried to recreate the bbq tofu skewer several times to no avail. I think I finally nailed it, hence this updated review. Who knew bbq sauce and yumm sauce go so perfectly together? This place has changed my taste buds forever.

The owners of this restaurant are a very nice couple (he's the chef, and his wife is often there…read moreworking as manager and server), therefore, it's not easy for me to deliver this review, but I want to be honest and forthright about my experience eating the food they sell. Part of their business model (she told me) is that her husband chose to set the menu items' prices high, but serve very large portions. For most people, this means that each combo plate is enough food for 2 meals. However, I doubt that most people are content to pay $20 - $24 for a plate of Mexican food. I don't think their business model is sustainable. Given the robustly sized portions, it would be a good value (I believe) if only their food tasted good. Unfortunately, everything that I've eaten there is tasted so-so to mediocre. I was very disappointed with the preparation and taste of their chili rellenos. Even their crispy tacos were unremarkable. There's always the usual heaping portion of refried beans and ubiquitous mountain of reddish rice, both fulfilling their role in making the plated food appear voluminous; designed to impress. But the food is bland, uncreative, and primarily comprised of low cost components (such as large quantities of iceberg lettuce, beans and rice). The food quality is not much better than that of most of the other local Mexican restaurants. I also tasted several of the menu items that my family ordered, and was disappointed with every one of the dishes. I won't be purchasing their food again, but I sincerely wish the owners blessings and good luck.
