This place was BAD! The margaritas were poured from a premade bucket. Not sure if it was just water with tons of sugar but it was bad!!! Anything we ordered was just thrown in the fryer and they called it good. Zero out of five stars, I would NOT come back here again. On behalf of real Mexican food, this is not it and I apologize for our real heritage! read more

I have eaten here in person and done pick up. I would recommend not doing To go Nachos.... They are not as good is in the restaurant, but.... To go fajitas, I would do those every night if I could. So good. This is a great spot. read more

Always friendly staff. Great food at great prices. They always treat me like I'm their best friend in the world. Add to this great food at moderate prices, and it's a win every time. read more

I drive by here all of the time and haven't tried it mostly because of reviews. While I didn't give this place 5 stars, it was very close. The service was prompt, friendly, and helpful. They have two different salsas, one regular and one spicy. While the spicy isn't really spicy it does give more of a kick than the other one. Either way, both salsas were very fresh. I ordered the two enchiladas with chicken and the tamal. The chicken was very well seasoned and the tamal was one of the best I've had. The beans were very good and the rice had very good flavor, it was slightly dry though. The restaurant seemed pretty clean and it had some nice murals on the wall. I'll definitely go back again. read more

Delicious Mexican food and drinks! Their burritos, enchiladas, and chips + salsa have always been great. I tried one of their drinks once (a strawberry margarita I think) and it was super yummy. They definitely get bonus points for having free chips and salsa!! The servers have always been friendly, and the food usually comes out pretty fast, even when the restaurant is busy. read more

We have been longtime customers and for some reason they've gone downhill and messing up orders we've never complained once than the one time we do the owner throws a big fit and makes a scene in front of all the customers in the restaurant and tells us not to ever come back so if you're thinking about going there, I wouldn't read more

Long wait times. Mediocre Mexican food. I would rather go to the lodge Mexican place than here.

This is the best Mexican food in the area. Good prices, Great food and outstanding service.

Our waiter was so sunny and fun! We had some great food--enchiladas, tacos and chilè rellenos. A warm stop on a cold day. Thank you! read more

Wasn't busy but took 3 time me asking for my change back... dinner was ok I wouldn't go back read more

On our way for a quick beach getaway. Found this restaurant in Scapoose . Good reviews and we were there early for lunch so thought we could get a quick bite and be on our way. We arrived at 11:45 AM. We are finally back in our car and it is 12:50. Eventually, the waiter came to take our order. We had to flag him down. We ordered a fajita to share and a side of guacamole for before the meal arrived. No breakfast for us so we were hungry The guacamole did not arrive so we asked again. It was really good, the chips were crispy and not greasy. We really liked their salsa. The fajitas arrived in stages. Veggies, tortillas, rice, beans and chicken were all really good. The pork was tough. First time at a Mexican restaurant for me. In summary, people are nice but seemed a bit disorganized. Besides the person that promptly seated us, at least three other people came to our table. May be just a fluke that our service was slow. The food was mostly really good. read more

The food here is the best, I always get the 2 tacos, rice and beans, I know the workers and their all awesome, they keep the place completely clean, great service. read more

We were greeted and seated right away. I ordered the tortilla soup, which is fantastic! I also ordered jalapeño poppers. The tortilla soup was the most flavorful I've ever had. There is wonderful music playing, the staff is very attentive and friendly. We'll definitely return. read more

Straightforward traditional American Mexican. The quality was fine, just nothing to get excited about.

Losing hope in this restaurant. I placed an order to go and they ordered the wrong thing for me, so after I got home, I realized my order was missing an entree! Called and they said, "Oh, well we didn't charge you for it." That does not make me feel better. I have had major problems before ordering their tacos to go. I won't ever do that again. They are inedible because the shells turn the mush. Well, I thought I would get around that issue by ordering the super nachos with chicken this time. BAD IDEA!!! They seriously need to learn how to make food to go. The chips, cheese, chicken, and refried beans were put in an aluminum to go container, baked, and when I opened it, it was one big baked chunk. Well, the exposed chips on top were burned and the chips underneath had turned to pudding. Completely unable to eat it! Then, I got a "side" of guacamole, sour cream, onions, and tomato. This was a big mistake. I'm so tired of mediocre food from there. I do not think I will be back. read more

Ordered lunch to go, which was just soup and a kids quesadilla. 50 minutes later the hostess tells me laughing, they havent started it yet. ​I tell her Inordered almost an hour ago, she just laughs and says I know. Told her I needed to get home as my lunch was over and requested a refund. Again she laughs and says no she won't issue refund. Claims manager out of the country and no one else I can talk to. No explanation to why my food wasn't made or why they wouldn't refund me, just kept laughing. read more

We didn't enjoy our margaritas (the Sunset and the Ixtapa). Food was decent. I had the ceviche tostada and tortilla chicken soup. My friend had the Chile rellenó with pollo asada. read more

We have eaten here over 100 times in the last 18 years and it has alway been a pretty good experience, the food is pretty good, the service always acceptable and the prices reasonable. This time not so much, I think they had a large group in the bar and were extra busy. We were seated quickly and got water and chips with salsa right away, then we sat for over 15 minutes and nothing! No one came near out table. Finally the big guy with the skull cap stopped and took our order, 2 meals and a Pina Colada and Strawberry Margarita on the rocks. The food was delivered and no drinks, a bus boy stopped and asked if we needed anything else and we told him that we wanted out drinks about 5 minutes later the big guy brought the drinks and left right away. The margarita was blended so I waived down a server and asked him to fix it. The big guy came back in a little while with another drink. This time out was a blackberry not strawberry and it tasted terrible so it was not drunk. I asked another server for out bill and showed him the untouched drink and asked hime to take it of the bill. But it was still on the bill so when I went to pay I asked the big guy in the hat to take it off the bill and he wouldn't, he got mad and said he made it twice and I told him it was wrong twice and if anyone had checked our table they would know that it had not been drunk. He got angry and blamed us for it and I just paid the bill and left. Not sure if we will every be back. read more

The worse service and food I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. The chili con queso was just melted cheese with a pile of grease on top with 3 green peppers and 3 black olives swimming in it. Oh there were a few raw white onions begging for a slow death on top as well. And trying to get anyone to speak to was almost impossible. Stay away. Stay far away.

I have eaten here many times over 21 years. Always fast, and delicious. Same owner and that means consistency in food and service. And they make really good drinks with or without alcohol. Try the virgin piña colada and the chimichanga cheesecake yummy!!! read more

Worst service in town. Been this way the last 3 times we've gone. Kept on trying to give it another go but nothing ever changed... We had to ask for refills, get our to go boxes, get our check up front NOT on table and was never asked if everything was ok?? We will never be back ;( read more

Amazing delivery time. Very tasty food. We order here often and will definitely in the future. Thank you guys!!

Best Mexican food we've tried since leaving Arizona. The service is usually spot on and their chips & salsa are pretty good.

The servers are usually friendly and smiling, and the food is very fast. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the wall to wall murals are interesting to look at, at least. The food itself is pretty much just OK. Typical Mexican American food that you find at most mid-level Mexican places here in Oregon. I wish the food were a bit better. The beans and rice are the same exact flavor as 4 or 5 other places within a 15 mile radius. I usually get something with shredded chicken, and the chicken tastes that same as any other Mexican joint, no better or worse. I always crave to try their desserts, but am always so stuffed by the end of the meal. Some day...! read more

Don't let our negativity influence you because this was our first time. But... This place was bland and the service was slow... but... I still kinda liked it! Ish... The chips were bland (the salsa was really salty, though, so I kinda didn't mind that since the chips needed something), the four different dishes we ordered had issues (explained below) but overall everything was edible and we didn't go home hungry because the portions were good! First off, it took 10 minutes for our waiter to come back and take our order, but he was cute and really so... you know, that made it ok ;). And I could get a pint of Modelo for $3.25 which was great! (Serious bonus points for that!!) I personally liked my food - the flautas combo - even though it was super hard to chew through the deep fried corn tortilla. But it didn't taste bland to me at all (note: I was the only one drinking and I have the only positive review from our group- interesting!). However, the other three adults in our group thought all the food was bland or tasted exactly the same. For example: the burrito tasted exactly like the enchilada. My husband complained that the relleno tasted like an egg. Period. And the chipotle sour cream was literally just chipotles blended with sour cream- no other intricacy of flavor like salt or seasoning. What was it that we were missing? What would have changed everything for us? I asked my family this and the each had the following to say: *It wasn't fresh or flavorful *It didn't seem fresh *The beans were milky *it just didn't feel like Mexico to me. You can see why they aren't "Yelpers" as their words are few. But they were abundantly redundant with their limited vocabulary on the subject while in the car on the way home. Side note: the employees were Hispanics, but there weren't any Hispanics dining here tonight so ... not sure if that is a sign of their food or a sign of the area. Not sure.... But we have only been here once so please don't let our negativity affect you. This place had 4 stars and I would go with it. read more

If you like spicy, get the Chile Verde Burrito and ask for extra spicy (same goes for the salsa). You will be rewarded with a hearty meal that will delight the buds. read more

A nice enough Mexican Restaurant and a great place for a High School class reunion Scappoose class of 1964. My Steak Asado and corn tortilla's I ordered were just right and especially welcome after saving my appetite all day. Service was good, plenty of parking. It was great seeing some old buddy's after more than a half century? We should do this again ? ''Thanks for the memories'' read more

Probably the best restaurant in Scappoose. Excellent Americanized Mexican food. Lunch specials less than $7 Clean. Bar looks welcoming. read more

I'm grading on a heavy curve here because it is Scappoose, after all, and I'm not sure how "authentic" other folks expect the place to be. For what it is - that is, an Americanized Mexican restaurant in a small town - it's pretty damned great. Service is fast and friendly, chips & salsa are tasty enough, and the lounge has enough seating to accommodate large groups. The food is the standard fare you'd find in any establishment of its kind across middle America; basically, comfort food with Mexican flair. I tend toward the same dish, the Grande Enchilada, and it comes stuffed with meat, smothered in cheese, and piled high with lettuce, tomato, sour cream & guacamole. What more could you ask for? Sheesh, what more do you expect? read more

A cursory glance at the other reviews for this place revealed half-hearted, tepid little endorsements like: "Probably the best restaurant in Scappoose." Wrong-o! This isn't even the best Mexi-joint in Scappoose---- that distinction clearly belongs to Burrito USA---formerly Super Burrito Express. USA's wares are consistently cheaper, bigger, and more quickly delivered. It's true, Ixtapa is far preferable for the dine -in experience; Burrito USA wasn't built with consideration for a cozy, leisurely, lasting dine-in experience. It's eat and run, or better yet, carry out ("para llevar") all the way. Ixtapa has a full-service bar, and so it becomes a little easier to understand why there may be a built in home-town bias for this place. What can I say? I like some Mexican beer (especially Dos XX amber), and I like various mixed drinks, but the super-big-gulp slurpee-fied version most middle Americans take for a margarita? I'll pass? My innards wither and die a little, whenever I think of all that unwarranted sweetness. El Yuck-o! read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!! From the minute we walked in, we were treated rudely. Jose seated us without saying a word to us the whole time. The waitress, Isabelle, was just as rude & unpleasent. We sat & waited for someone to let us know it would be a minute or say something to us, nothing. They dropped off chips & salsa with attitude, still said not one word. We were about to get up & leave when Jesus, our waiter, appeared out of nowhere with a smile & an urgency & was completely opposite of those first 2 who should greet customers who walk in or at least be able to bs us if anything. I have never wrote a review on Yelp, but those 2 compelled me to do one, absolutely the worst 2 to be in customer facing positions. Thank God for Jesus & for the food being pretty good. read more
