I like the fact they have a lot of staff working so it's always someone near to assist with what you needed. Ambiance~Beautiful and really huge family owned restaurant (It could accommodate at least 300 maybe even more w/outside seating). Restroom was super clean and smelt fresh. Authentic Mexican music playing but, you can still hold a conversation. I would love to visit during dinner hours but, I would recommend giving this place a try. Plenty of parking.

Absolutely some of the best food I've had in Portland, certainly the best fries!…read more My boyfriend and I have come here 3 times this week the food is so good. We always get the down and dirty fries and the tacos locos. The meat is SO tender and good, cooked to absolute perfection and no bad pieces. The fries are for sure house cut and fried, the onions (all three varieties pickled, grilled, and fresh) are AMAZING. The real stand out for me on both dishes are the sauces that come on them both. They're so unique and delicious! They both are very cheesy too, which my boyfriend and I LOVE and were so impressed with the cheese pull on the tacos. They food doesn't take too long, I'd say about 5-10 minutes on average, maybe 15 on a busy day and it's absolutely worth the wait. The best part though is that I have a seafood allergy (both fin fish and shell fish) and my partner spoke to the owner of the cart who made a point to make sure I didn't get cross contaminated when they were running a shrimp special, and even remembered us when we came back! One of the best food carts in Portland!

We were extremely disappointed with our experience with Casa Lola during our son's wedding…read more Several things went wrong on what should have been a very special and memorable day. The food arrived late, and, most importantly, the food that was delivered was completely wrong from what we had ordered. This was not a minor mistake or a small substitution--the food provided was not the food we had specifically arranged for our guests. On top of that, there were no heating trays provided, so there was no way to keep the food warm as expected. These issues created additional stress and disappointment on a day when we should have been able to focus on celebrating our son and his new wife. What made the situation even more disappointing was what happened afterward. We were promised a refund because of the problems we experienced. We have followed up several times by email, phone calls and text, but the refund was never received. We have also been unable to get a response from the owner or the owner's daughter, Karla. At this point, we feel that we have been completely ghosted.

Server was super nice and got all our orders correct, but she was the only server working so service was very slow. As for the food, my husband and I both got shrimp fajitas and they were very good. Shrimp was plentiful, not overcooked, and the veggies were just a little bit crisp not soggy. Also nice was that they were not super oily/greasy. A bit pricey at $22 though. However, our friends all got tacos, taquitos/flautas, or the enchiladas, and they were all disappointing. - Fish tacos had one tiny piece of fish in it - Chicken tacos and taquitos/flautas were dry and lacking flavor - Enchiladas were lacking flavor and not filling - Drinks were ok; margaritas and Palomas were very sweet. Overall, it didn't impress.

Slow Service , Cold Food, and Sandy Rock in the Black Beans It took over 20 minutes to get my order. ( on previous visits it was more like 7 minutes max) The taco's were sitting in front of the order taker's nose for 10 minutes while she waited for a burrito. We finally got our food after they served a couple who ordered after us, again the order taker seemed confused, not trained. When we finally got our food and started to eat the food it was cold, and the big problem is that I crunched down on a rock in the black beans. The fish did not taste fresh. Crew seemed to have a "we gotta get out of here and screw the customers" attitude. Most people don't write negative reviews, they simply go away and I agree with a Twitter Tweet that said he predicted this place will be out of business soon. If it is not the construction , it is the quality of the food and service. Will not return. Maybe I should try Chipotle down the street next time. read more

Pretty safe "Mexican" food, gourmet fast food style with big portions, good flavor, and extra extra calories!! yum!! :) The nachos are ridiculous big... a normal person could probably have 3 servings of it. Seriously, I'm not joking when I say ridiculous big. It's delicious, of course! Plenty of cheese, meat, sour cream, guacamole... mmm, so good! On the bad side, this all tallies it up to 2,000 calories on it! No wonder I've been feeling puffy... The salsa bar is delicious! There's 5 or 6 different salsas plus canned jalapeños, cilantro, and lime to my heart's content. It's the main reason I have and will always drift back to Baja Fresh. read more

You're looking for tasty, clean, somewhat healthy and affordable Mexican? This is nirvana. Everything is well done, the quality is there, and you get fast service. I recommend this particular location (I believe it was the first Baja Fresh to open in Portland..) they seem to kick everything up one notch here. The place is cleaner, service friendlier, food delivery faster, and food quality including their condiments/salsa bar is vastly superior. The Fresh part of their name just seems to be more accentuated here. read more

I used to like Baja Fresh, but things have gone south recently. As the name suggests the expectation is on "Fresh", but it's anything but. And this review is not based on just one visit, but rather on many. I used to like their burritos, but they've gotten so salty I had to just throw them out (they were carryouts). The steak meat in the burritos were burnt, and the veggies were all soggy - not fresh at all. Their prices have crept up quite a bit, so that's a double whammy - more money for bad food. read more

I recently used Qdoba to cater a work event, and they made it such an easy experience! From…read moreordering online to picking up in person, everything was smooth and well thought out. I especially appreciated how clear Qdoba's website was regarding pricing. Each catering package was clearly marked with what it included and its specific price, but you were also able to customize the order and leave notes for the workers. When I picked up the order, I was a bit worried because it was a LOT of food! Thankfully, several workers offered to help me carry the bags out to my car. They were super friendly and made sure I was happy with the order. A worker even emailed me afterwards to make sure I was satisfied. Besides the excellent customer service, the food was delicious. It was fresh and warm, and my team was thrilled with the option to customize their own bowl. Everybody loved how many toppings there were: meat, beans, rice, different salsas, guacamole, sour cream, a huge bag of chips, and more! I ordered what the website said was enough for about 10 people, but we ended up having a ton of leftovers. Also, if you return the metal meal warming racks to any Qdoba location after catering, they will give you a voucher for a free meal!
