I'd honestly like to keep this place a secret for myself, but great food--and even better…read morepeople--just can't go without sharing! I stumbled across this cute, cozy spot in downtown Ridgefield and immediately felt like it was the perfect place for a bite to eat. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Bassam, and his kindness and genuine hospitality really stood out. He took the time to explain the menu, what each item was, and even shared some of the history behind the food. That personal touch made the experience even better. Here's what we ordered: Chicken Shawarma -- 10/10 Hummus + extra pita -- 10/10 Baklava -- 10/10 Dolma -- Bassam kindly had us try some. My wife really enjoyed it! I'm a little picky, so it wasn't quite my flavor, but I can absolutely see why it's a favorite for many. Everything was fresh, flavorful, high quality, and reasonably priced, with good-sized portions. The food, service, and atmosphere all impressed us, and we'll definitely be back. It honestly saddens me when small businesses don't get the reviews and support they deserve. A simple review can mean so much, especially heading into the winter months. I'll definitely be stopping in for food to go on my way home! If you haven't stepped outside your comfort zone and tried something new here, I highly encourage you to do so. Life is about trying new things, and this place absolutely does not disappoint. Great food. Kind people. Cozy atmosphere. Small-business love. What more could you ask for?

Had lunch here since we were making a Costco run. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and some soda…read morethat I've never heard of before. The shawarma was good, and the soda was was different but good -- mix of fruit punch and maybe Dr. Pepper. Next time I get a shawarma, I think I will ask for extra sauce. It was a little bit dry for me, but I do like a lot of sauce. Although the service wasn't rude or anything, I think it would help if the window person was a little more outgoing/friendly. A hello, telling me the total, and a thank you would be nicer. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and will try other things on the menu when we're in the area. I'm happy to see a family business selling good food at a fair price. I love the fact that it's not another burger joint.

We left the interstate on our trip from Portland to Astoria to come here because of the reviews…read more We were at first a little concerned because we are visiting from Texas and we know brisket! Also, my husband was wondering if it could possibly be worth leaving the interstate and going through 3 traffic circles. Bottom line: SO worth it! What a great growing town, a great local spot with friendly service and food that makes you talk with your mouth full because you can't wait to say, "Wow! Amazing!" for the 10th time. We had the brisket sandwich, fish tacos and pork. We also had the carritos, cole slaw and fries. Every bite was phenomenal! So if you live here, what are you waiting for? If you don't, take that little side Jog off the beaten path. And Guy Fieri, I expect to see an episode featuring the Nest very soon! Next time we are in Portland, we will come even if it's not on our way anywhere! Thank you for the great hospitality and the wonderful meal!

Get carrots! Wonderful food and amazing service…read more Pork sandwich was good. Fries crispy. Beans too vingery for me but yummy. Definitely worth the stop. Tip Go next door to the brewery and get a beer and they'll deliver your food there.

Got a bad case of the lazies but had guests coming to dinner, so I wanted to place an order using…read moreDoor Dash and through them stumbled upon this place. OH MY GOSH, what a lucky choice! The food is glorious. And it was packaged so nicely and attractively! Plenty of limes on the side even though we didn't request additionals. I had the Tres Quesobirria tacos and each was so packed with delicious beef! The bouillon was incredibly flavorful. I could only eat one, but one of my guests had one of mine and liked it very much. I had the last one just heated in the microwave the next day and it was almost as good as the first day. My husband and another guest both had the carne asada tacos and liked them. My husband is picky so I was relieved that he was satisfied - he actually used the words "really good" which sort of amazed me. Another guest had the chicken taco salad which was generously adorned with probably an entire avocado, and quite a lot of chicken. It was artfully prepared. Sides of rice and beans were even special; tasty and appreciated. I will be making a trip to La Catrina in person sometime very soon.

We got shrimp taco, carne asada burrito, carne asada quesadilla and cherros…read more Shrimps were really small and I don't think the taco was worth 4.50 (I didnt see the taco on the menu) the carne asada burrito was large and filled with a decent amount of meat. My husband liked it. The asada quesadilla was bomb......only criticism is the amount of sour cream and Pico was garbage. It wasn't even enough for half of the quesadilla. Now the curros. Gosh dang. They were so delicious. I paid 38 dollars for all that food. The food cart area itself was adorable.

Had a really good time at this place a few days ago. The flavors were pretty amazing and the…read moreportions were huge. I got a burrito and could have made three meals out of it. I also got to sample some really amazing tequila while i was there for pretty cheap. They carry Acre Largo and the G4 lineup so I was very happy. The salsas were house made and of the five we tried, every one was really good. I think our favorite was the roasted tomato salsa that comes with the chips. The service was quick, the food was quick, and the decor is upscale. After the meal i had the pleasure of talking with all the staff. The cook works at the Ridgefield farmers market as well during the season. The woman i talked to was telling me about tequila tastings with some amazing distillers. And our server was a lot of fun and did a great job. The combination of good food, good conversation, and good tequila really won me over on this place. I hope i get back soon to try more of the menu.

This was a good meal. It was super quiet when we came it, I'm surprised as the food is pretty good…read more We ordered at the counter and grabbed a table. The margarita came out fast, it was the perfect level of spice and flavor (pineapple jalapeño). The food was out shortly after that. The tacos were cooked beautifully, the fish was battered well and the toppings were fresh. The shrimp was amazing. The shrimp were massive, cooked well, still nice and juicy. The team was really friendly, and the place is clean. Great food, great service!

Loves that the fries had a good spice to them and they were pretty hot temp wise when I got them. All this pair with a GOW Pale Ale beer which is quite the combo. The owner was super nice and brought my food out to me. He was really nice to talk with. Warning this is a messy burger. Be prepared to go wash your sticky hands afterwards. Haha. I cannot wait to go back to try some of his special boneless blackberry chicken wings.

Love the chicken wraps here! They have a nice menu and you can find something for everyone here…read more Very friendly service every time Im here. Great kids menu selection too. My kids love the Mac and cheese, burgers and fries. They are located in the grass outdoor seating area. When the weather is nicer it's a great spot to bring the kids, eat and run around.

This was a cart at the Beer Porch in St John's then they moved up to the Cathedral Carts where they changed their menu and H O L Y S M O K E S did they have a bang bang chicken sandwich to die for! Whew. They moved up to St Helen's and have a rotating chicken sandwich and I've stopped even asking what it is or what is on it - I know that whatever it is, it will be delicious. Fantastic service, yummy food and if you are near St Helen's or on the way to coast, it's a must-try!

With a larger table, it's always great to find a place that has a wide variety of choices to please everyone, and their menu completely delivered. We ordered a huge spread to share: Teriyaki Salmon, Pad See Ew, Pineapple Fried Rice, Pad Thai, Teriyaki Chicken, and Crab Rangoon. Every single dish was high-quality, incredibly fresh, and packed with great flavor. The kitchen clearly pays attention to the details, and the portions were generous. To top it all off, we enjoyed some refreshing Thai Iced Tea and finished with their delicious Mango Sweet Rice for dessert. I highly recommend this spot if you are in the area looking for excellent Thai and Teriyaki options with a great menu selection. We will definitely be ordering from here again!

Waited (only customeers in the shop) for over five minutes to order. OH NO, could not just order…read more Was told to take a menu and sit down. We did. After another five minutes, we went and ask if they were going to take our ordeer. They said yes, you have to come and order at the counter. Menu said $5.50 for tofu salad rolls. I ordered, and a Thai Ice tea. Got bill, charged me 5.95. I said the menu says $5.50. He argued with me. Finally agreed to sell to me for the $5.50 that the menu said. How many people never notice that they are being over charged? I also ordered a Thai ice tea. Got my salad rolls, made in the kitchen and delivered. Still did not have my drink. He took next order and started on a third that had come in then looked at me, like why are you standing here? He finally poured premade Thai ice tea mix in a glass, added ice and then poured the cream over it. A very quick drink to fix. I received my Tofu Salad Rolls. Had 90% letuuce, one small tofu slice 1/8th inch thick and 2 inches long (only) in each roll. Did have large amount of basil leaves (which I like but many people don't and it over powered the entire taste of the salad roll. Was given a small container of peanut sauce which was only enough for one roll. My dinning companion had red curry. It was a good portion, enough for two meals. With a soda it was $20. Neither of us had a problem with the price - seemed fair. PROBLEM: service. None. Would not come and take our order at the counter or at the table (which they instructed us to go sit down). Argued over price. Never smiled. You could not understand him. He would not look you in the face or so you could read lips if that was your challenge. He was just extremely rude during our entire visit.
