    Even when all I wanted was a water it came with a cup of my choice of citrus. Beautiful.

    Absolutely a terrific experience!! Kind and attentive staff made a recommendation based on my preferences and they were delicious! The only sad thing for me is that I am from out of town so this is my one shot, as I leave tomorrow. But their Mexican food is LEGIT (coming from a Texas girl). I had both carne asada(beef) and al pastor (pork). Both were absolutely delicious. It's clear they were slow cooked by someone who knows what to do with some spices. Highly recommend! I did not expect this - I was looking for some greasy bar nachos and what I got was real food served by some delightful people. Highly recommend.

    When you think of Baja fish tacos in the United States, San Diego and Chula Vista, California, typically come to mind as the pinnacle. Having spent 17 years in that region, I can confidently assert that the best Baja fish tacos are actually found right here in Salem, Oregon. The Side Hustle's Baja fish and shrimp tacos are nothing short of extraordinary. Imagine a Baja Fish Taco that combines so many elements it feels like owning a Ferrari 488 Pista, a supercharged Cadillac Escalade, a Ford F-450 Crew Cab Platinum, and a Mercedes-AMG S 63 all in one. That's the experience of biting into Side Hustle Bar's Baja Fish Taco. The explosion of flavors and textures in that first bite is truly unforgettable--so much so that it becomes a flavor profile you'll crave endlessly. I find myself returning twice a week, unable to stay away from this culinary masterpiece. Don't forget the guac sauce!!!

    Great food. We had the veggie and asada tacos with chips salsa and guac. The salsa is spicy and flavorful. The tacos are really good for the price and the drinks are tall and strong. The margaritas have a grand mariner float. The service was really good for a sports bar. The ambiance is your typical sports bar but still cozy and friendly. I totally recommend for a relaxed casual night out.

    Great tacos, drinks and atmosphere.

    Margaritas are great. Wings (only on Wednesday) are great! Lots of T.V.'s. We only came at lunch but it was great. It's kind of a night club at night, so everyone says. Street tacos are really good. Birrai tacos are good.

    Very new/modern aesthetic inside, it looks good. They have lotto, woohoo! I've heard they have pretty good tacos. The major complaint is the bartenders sometimes have BAD attitudes.. and look like they don't want to serve you, and the drinks are fairly overpriced. But I like that they have pool upstairs. Definitely gets busy on weekends. Be careful, there seems to always be fights right outside..

    (2) Shrimp Tacos. Next time I'll request lite chipotle (a bit spicy for me)

    Stopped in here for lunch and a brew. Had (2) hearty shrimp tacos and hubby had a pollo quesadilla. Both tasty and reasonably priced. Lots of tv screens with several different options. Bar was very clean and service was friendly and attentive. I'll be back for Margarita Monday (blended or iced and lots of flavors!)

    These Tacos are hands down the best tacos in Oregon from the Food to the customer service 10/10. Best Tacos In Oregon

    Carne Asada, chicken and Carnitas tacos! Yumm!

    Came in at just the right time! We were a group of 5 who ordered coffee and breakfast. Once we sat…read moredown tons of people came flooding in afterwards which we took as a good sign. You order at the counter and then you get a number to take with you and place at whichever seat you choose. Drinks and food both came out really quick. I tried the bees knees which had honey, lavender, rosemary and simple syrup with a dash of black pepper. I did not see nor taste the black pepper but I was a huge fan of this drink. It wasn't overpowering in any of the flavors and the rosemary sprig made it look so cute. I got the breakfast potato hash with no tomatoes and it was a delicious and filling breakfast. The potatoes were so good my group wouldn't stop helping themselves to them. I added some hot sauce as it was in the dryer side but still really good. I also tried the matcha coconut scone. It had a pretty matcha green color but it was hard to taste the matcha or coconut and it was quite dry. Service was quick and friendly. The inside is really beautiful and we couldn't help but do a little photoshoot, so many fun backgrounds! Things to note: Restroom shared with other businesses close by businesses and metered street parking only.

    Got coffee here a week ago and the vibes were really off putting. Maybe it was just the guy at the…read morecounter, but he was pretty rude rushing me to order when there was no one in line in front of me. Food service can be rough, but when there's no one in line not giving someone at least 30 seconds to check out the menu is really frustrating. The coffee was pretty good, definitely worth going out for. I also really liked the peanut butter and jelly chia pudding. It was really filling and a perfect portion of protein/natural sugars before my workout. The seating area had a nice warmth to it on a sunny afternoon. The outdoor seating looked welcoming too.

It was fun watching all the variety of dishes come together. Service was great, just the right amount of attentive. Food was amazing. Everything was great, but special nod to the squid ink pasta and the tres major steak. Definitely will come back next time I'm in the area

    Apparently, unlike the Napa/Sonoma area, Willamette wine country is not known for food, but after…read moresome research, we came across Cozy Taberna, which is a tapas style place in downtown Salem. We reserved on Tock, and it was mostly full on a Friday night. Drinks: lots of local beers are available, but I went with the Pineapple Express: she warned it was spicy, and it indeed was (in a really good way). All of the food is done family style: - Clams Galicia: with tomato, chorizo, bacon broth. This broth as amazing. I literally drank it with a spoon - Pan con tomate: slightly different from classic preparation - more flavorful and heavier on the toppings - Salmorejo: tomato and bread puree, Serrano, jammy egg - like a creamy gazpacho - Grilled asparagus: with whipped ricotta and a cured egg yolk - Squid ink pasta: with hazelnuts, caramelized onions, peppers, and a runny egg yolk, a bit spicy. This dish was my favorite - Honey brined pork chop with a basque piperade sauce The servers were all great about checking in. I would definitely recommend the squid ink pasta and the clams if you're in town!

    Hello! What just happened? We toodled downtown Salem to…read moreparticipate in Salem Burger Week, and our first stop was Wolfhounds Bar & Grill. The establishment is lovely; the decor is modern and clean with cute Wolfhound art featured throughout. We ordered the featured Jalapeño Popper Smash: two smash patties with habanero ghost pepper jack cheese, pomegranate bacon jam, cream cheese spread, serrano aioli, and pickled jalapeños on a toasted pretzel bun. While we waited, we sipped on a well cocktail. The burger was incredible--innovative and very well thought out. The service was prompt and engaging. I can really tell the staff has a passion for everything they do; it's very refreshing and definitely deserves a shot and repeated business!

    We walked in on a whim for our first visit -- no homework, no planning. We will definitely return…read more Ambiance: comfortable, both cool and cozy. Music was excellent; audible but not intrusive. Comfy chairs. Lower lighting, well placed. Service was excellent, friendly and fast. I think our server's name was Mikayla; a gem. Attentive and observant but never intrusive. Drinks: my old fashioned was absolutely perfect and my husband's margarita was fine. Appetizers: beer cheese was well balanced and a bit runny, which I prefer over the library paste version some places serve. The elotes dip was a standout, mildly spicy, with lime in the cilantro, and warm, crispy chips. (Whatever is in their seasoning for chips and fries should be sold separately -- I wanted to try it on everything.) We probably should have stopped there, as the portions were abundant, but our mains were amazing. Smash burger was insanely juicy, nice and onion-y with a few Crunchy Brown Bits around the edges. The roll was fresh and tender, with a good crust; flavorful, not just a shingle. The fries were the best I've had in Salem. Get the garlic-thyme upgrade; you won't regret it. My ribeye was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately they were out of both compound butters, apparently due to a busy Friday, but everything was well seasoned. The vegetable of the day was roasted Brussels sprouts with a sweet-and-salty sauce, almost like kettle corn; amazing. The outer leaves were caramelized without being burned, and the hearts were tender but not mushy. Crispy fried onions were perfect. Fried potatoes were fine, and enriched by their placement between the steak and the sprouts. The diners who came in before us were all smiles when they left, so it wasn't a fluke. Can't wait to come back!
