    Suadero, Camarones,and Pescado tacos & Guacamole & Chips
    Taylor B.

    The large chips and guacamole was more than enough for two people to share. Love that they have a salsa bar for you to choose what types of salsa you would like to enjoy with your meal. We both ordered tacos. After scouring reviews online, I ordered the pescado, camarones and suadero tacos. I probably skip the pescado taco next time. It didn't do much for me. The suadero had a lot of meat and was tasty but didn't especially WOW me. The shrimp taco is my favorite. The waitress did not give me the avocado sauce that it came with because she said most people find it too spicy. When I asked for the avocado sauce, she gave me something and it was not spicy at all, so I don't think that was the right one. It was good though. This is a decent place, but I am not sure how it ended up on the 100 best taco spots list. Maybe I need to try some of the other taco types. Service was great. They let us hangout and talk for quite a while and we never felt rushed. The place is clean and I loved the roll up doors which allowed some great fresh air to come through. There was a handful of homeless people in the area most kept themselves except for this crazy guy in a skateboard. That said, I did not feel unsafe parking my car on the street or walking to it as a solo female.

    Oh my goodness, where do I start? I really liked this place! Okay, here are the challenges first: Parking is limited, they don't open till 4 pm (so no stopping in for lunch), and a mandatory surcharge of 5% is added to every ticket for the kitchen staff - but that's it. The positives are: seating was plentiful, the menu was comprehensive, the food was remarkably delicious, and the service was top-notch. Neither my friend nor I had been here before so we were OC Taco virgins. We ordered chips and guacamole first, then added on some "real" food. I had a camarrones de diablo taco (spicy shrimp) and Mexican rice, then topped it off with some freshly made churros that came with a super yummy caramel dipping sauce. She had a tinga de pollo taco (chicken) and refried beans, then finished it all off with a tres leches cake, which was huge! I'm adding OC Tacos to my rotation of good food near where I live - but I sure do wish they were open for lunch!

    We had so much fun here! Margaritas were delicious, food was great, the service was even better. We'll definitely go again to try other items. Highly recommend the churro sticks! The guac and queso dip were my favorite I think. Restaurant is super spacious, good for group settings, or date nights.

    Food- the food is decent. We had chips and salsa and chips with guacamole- which I want to say usually it's standard practice to just give those for free however this specific place charges for each. The guacamole is alright- I get a sense that it's not homemade. Something about it doesn't feel fresh. The salsa is ok- it also just doesn't scream homemade. Feels more store bought. The chips are also super crunchy. They don't feel like they're authentic chips. I had a bowl with carne Asada- it's ok. Drinks are glass Coca Cola. So no refills. Service- the server checked on us quite a bit. Almost too much. I couldn't get a bite in before being asked how is it... allow time to eat and process. Ambiance- it's got a nice location and nice decor. I don't feel that I'd come back to this restaurant. I want authentic Mexican food and I don't feel this as authentic.

    Carnitas and Suadero tacos. Fantastic corn tortillas!

    I've been wanting to review how solid OC Taco is for a while but kept forgetting in my foodcoma. Excellent flavors, quality taco options, tasty salsas, killer guacamole. Great value and everyone there is attentive and kind. Good Tequila selection too!

    Ceviche Tostada and Yucca Root Fritters to go
    Nikky B.

    Super friendly and helpful staff! Cute and spacious spot in Oregon City, yet easy and busy access from I-205. Menu posted in the front right at the entrance door to help decision-making easier. However, it was outdated during my quick stop-by for takeout. The Ceviche Tostada listed with fish which was the only reason I came in since fish ceviche is my thing. The friendly staff informed me that they were no longer serving fish ceviche, only shrimp. I went ahead with the shrimp ceviche tostada since I was already there and hungry. While waiting for my takeout, I ordered the Virgin Nada Colada. I liked the taste of it, yet a bit more ice than needed so it was more slushy of a drink and a bit to a sweeter side. I ate the tostada shrimp ceviche as soon as I got home. I was disappointed with the fact that the shrimp tasted pre-cooked and then topped with whatever tops they put on it and some lime/citrus-based. Pre-cooked ceviche, especially seafood is not my preference. The Yucca Root Fritters sounds so good so I had to order it. They were so disappointed as well. They came in almost round ball shape. Mine was neither cooked nor heated through. It was like I ate half-cooked egg dough. Despite my first visit disappointment, I would give OC Taco another chance simply because I think OC needs and could benefit from more variation of eateries. I wish they would add tamales to their menu in the near future.

    This is the ceviche tostada without the weight of the avocado or the bowl

    Tacos are ok but the owners are too cheap to pay their employees so they add a tip tax on your bill. Good luck, we wont be back.

Oregon City has a way of feeling put together without trying too hard. You've got history, views, and just enough going on to make it interesting without turning your day into a full-blown expedition. Corner 14 itself? Dialed in. Covered seating everywhere, fire pits at nearly every table, and a massive one out front that practically dares you to grab a drink and stay awhile. Rain or shine, hot or cold, this place has you handled. It's modern, clean, and honestly punches right up there with the best food cart setups around. What used to feel a little worn now looks refreshed like it hit the reset button and came back brand new. At night, the whole place flips a switch. String lights glow, the fire pits crackle, and suddenly you're not just grabbing food--you're settling in. It's the kind of spot where you tell yourself "just one drink" and somehow end up two hours deep, debating life like a philosopher with a buzz. And the location doesn't hurt. You're right near Willamette Falls that big, roaring centerpiece of the town and just a short trip from the iconic Oregon City Municipal Elevator, which gives you sweeping views of the valley. Toss in a stroll down Main Street and you've got yourself a full outing without the headache of city traffic or a 50-block commitment. Bonus points: right across the street you can hit Oregon City Axe Throwing. So yeah grab a drink, eat something great, then go hurl sharp objects with your friends like responsible adults. I've got a soft spot for this place Thirsty Thursdays, post-work hangs, a lot of good memories baked into these fire pits. Corner 14 isn't just a food cart pod it's a go-to. Easy, fun, and just classy enough to keep you coming back.

I really like the bar area - plenty of seating, a few TVs, and a solid spot to catch a game. There was only one server working the whole restaurant (also doubling as the bartender), and while he seemed overwhelmed and not exactly warm, he still managed to give us attentive service, which I appreciated. The Oregon Ducks swag throughout the place added a nice local touch to the vibe. Go Ducks!! Food: I found it a bit overpriced for what it was. The mahi mahi tacos and chicken burrito with rice and beans were pretty bland and lacked seasoning. On the flip side, the lomo saltado and birria tacos were packed with flavor--especially the lomo saltado, which stood out as the best dish of the night. Drinks were fine, nothing memorable. Overall, I might explore other spots in OC next time I'm in the area, but I'll keep Mesa Fresca in mind for the lomo saltado alone.
