Service was great too, the staff is attentive & ready to serve your every need! Didn't realize this place was a restaurant, order your meat off choice & pay come back to seating area & ask for plates & silverware! They have a salsa island, with baked beans & jalapeños Toriados means their fried! On steroids! They have sautéed onions as well! They sell Mexican bread too!! Let's go!! At the register they sell Carne Seca, dried steak like jerky! On steroids! Can't go wrong with this place! The place has plenty of seating, it can get pretty loud since there's tons of people! Get it while it's hot!

Most of the employees I talked to spoke perfect English until I mentioned that I got injured in their store and would like to talk to HR they all of a sudden don't speak English anymore. The guy in charge says their HR will call me but after I had to call them back days later he proceeded to tell me it's just him and they don't have an HR. I will be hiring a lawyer and I am in excruciating pain after surgery and having to do all of this is just ridiculous. DONT GO HERE. The meats are terrible the cake is old and dry with moldy fruit and the prices are insane and the employees and customers in this place are incredibly rude but that isn't why I'm writing this review. I don't even know where to start I'm so angry, on April 8th I tripped and fell leading to me breaking my foot in 4 places due to their negligence. There was clear packing tape all over their floor that my foot got caught in and I tripped. I am now going in for surgery on Monday morning to put titanium f*cking plates in my foot and if I don't do this surgery my quality of life will deteriorate I'm looking at a life long disability and I'm looking at a 6-12 month recovery time....my summer is gone all the trips I had planned are gone my independence is gone and my mental health is at an all time low. I have zero money to repair what these people have caused and I can't work. I now have to waste 6 months of my life in bed due to the negligence of these employees not to mention the sheer judgement I receive anytime I go to this store with friends. I received zero help when I fell all I got was employees staring at me like robots. I'm young and this put a HUGE dent in my life. I am fed up with the legal process the healthcare process and the lack of urgency, I've reached my limit when it comes to patience.

Carnitas have never disappointed me. The staff was friendly and super helpful as they helped us select the right meats for our carne asada and for our beef stew. The music was also a vibe. They had Selena playing so you know it was a legit Mexican store. I ended up buying more than expected but that was only because everything looked so good. My family and I love this store.

We love their baked beans- home made- and their potato salad is super. Their jalapeno peppers are hot, but good. They often have live music outdoors and that is fun. They have a seafood fest on Friday, at least they did when we were there and it is so good and a great price. BBQ oysters are great as is the crab. There really is nothing not to like here.

Finally, today was the day. We arrived at around 2:15 and ordered up brisket with beans, a three meat combo plate, and an order of nachos. While we were waiting, we began chatting with the owner of the Oregon Crepe Company, who was just dropping off the buns for service (love that this business is keeping it local). This gentleman was extremely pleasant and he and the owner of Chad's BBQ gave us a complimentary pretzel bun, which was generous and tasty. Salem Ale House was comfortable and we enjoyed a lovely beer. The brisket and the three meat plate were good - the sausage was the best part of the meal - very moist and flavorful with a casing that had a crisp snap. The brisket was nicely seasoned and tender, but not fall apart tender - we still had to use a knife to cut it. Pork was a bit dry (seemed to be very lean). The beans were smoky and tangy. Portions were generous. The meal went wrong with the nachos. The chips were stale and tasted like rancid oil. Despite the cheese sauce (we thought the portion was a bit stingy) and other various toppings, the rancidity of the chips just dominated each bite. We ended up picking off the pork and tossing the chips. We probably should have mentioned this to the owner but there was a bit of a line when we left and it is always easier to avoid complaining. UPDATE: The owner contacted me, apologized, and advised they noticed a bit too late that the chips were rancid. He has offered to make it right on my next visit and I appreciate this gesture tremendously

Unfortunately, when I was able to stop back, I discovered that their hours are limited to Friday - Sunday. A few days later I returned with my bilingual sister-in-law in tow to educate me and translate. The space is a combination warehouse and grocery store with aisles filled with an array of spices and cultural foods not always stocked in big box grocery stores. There was a variety of fresh grown herbs at the entrance and a nice selection of fruits and vegetables at competitive prices. Local cheeses, jello treats and beverages filled the coolers. Their household goods included cleansers, cookware and disposable dinnerware. What stood out for me was the exotic fruits available that I'd never seen before. Sure, I've seen nopales (cactus), but some of the other prickly options looked like they came from another planet! I've heard of jackfruit, but could never imagine they grew to the size of a newborn! Sweet-tooth? They've got you covered! Just grab some pastries, cookies, candy, or hot spicy mango strips. Horchata, Juarito, and more. Depending upon the season you might find plants out front. Bring your bags because they don't have any, but they may have a box if you forget to bring them.
