    Authentic street tacos. Delish.
    Kim G.

    Seeking a quick ant tasty lunch while out enjoying all that Hood River offers, came upon this food truck a mile or so out of town. The tacos are the real deal. Authentic Mexican street tacos with your choice of meat in double home-made tortillas, dressed with cilantro and chopped onion, served with a wedge of lime. That's how you do it! I sampled the carnitas, my favorite, the spicy port and carne Anadarko. All delicious. $2.25 each. Served fast and with a smile. Great food truck! I'll be back.

    Wow what a pleasant surprise. I have always wanted to check this place out. We came in on a…read moreMothers Day evening and they gave her a rose when we first got there.. How sweet. We were seated right away in a booth. The place is huge and can seat tons of people. We ordered up some margaritas and they were delicious. I slammed mine and ordered another one. The salsa had a kick to it. The chips were pretty fresh and tasty too. I got the enchiladas combo place with pork, carne asada and chicken enchiladas. All of the meats were very tender. However they lacked flavor or spices. Especially the chicken as it was not seasoned well and had no taste to it. I can say that the rice and beans were unlike any I have tasted and were pretty dog gone good. The service was top notch too. The next time I am in the Hood River area I will be sure to stop in for a drink and a good meal.

    Ixtapa is usually a pretty busy restaurant however on this day there was only one table in the bar…read morethat was filled and a few in the main dining room. I walked in shortly after my group who had beers, chips and salsa. I asked for beans on my tab and the rest of the group closed out to play lottery games. The waitress never asked if I wanted a drink so I decided to close out. She went over to the manager to discuss the bill which I thought was weird. They ended up putting an open food tab on my bill to add to it. If the beans were regularly $5 I would understand that but they added on to the bill to have me pay more.

    Came here as a direct result of a recommendation by a fellow Yelper when looking for good brewpubs…read more So made a stop in Hood River for lunch during our 3 day trip to Portland, after seeing some waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. Full Sail is a very well respected micro brewery, founded in 1987 and the first craft brewery in the Pacific Northwest to bottle its beer. It's flagship Amber has won numerous awards, including recently in 2025 a Gold Medal at the NY International Beer Competition (along with the brewery being named Oregon Brewery of the Year). It has a large line-up of beers brewed inhouse There is a large paid parking lot across the street at $1.25 per hour, payable via credit card through nearby kiosks. Once entering, there is a long hallway, walking past the working areas of the brewery, until getting to the restaurant area. It has views of I-84, and further the Columbia River. The outdoor patio was not open (drizzling outside), and it was pretty crowded inside but we got lucky to be seated at a table near windows with a view. There have lunch and happy hour specials during weekdays. The lunch special is 1/2 of a sandwich (grilled cheese this day) along with a cup of their soup of the day (tomato). I was super excited about the Amber, so got a pint of that ($8) and pint of the Queen Wheat ($8). My wife enjoyed the Queen Wheat but didn't care for the Amber. I really liked the Amber, making me realize why I had drunk so much of that style earlier in my life when in Wisconsin, before switching over to wheat beer. There selection of beer is great, and a flight is the way to go ($18 of 6 5oz samplers). Buffalo Hot Wings ($17) - a decent amount of simply deep fried hot wings in a classic Frank's red hot buffalo sauce. Pretzel Bread Sticks ($13) - 4 large, warmed pretzels. Should have gotten the beer cheese to go with it. Salmon Fish & Chips ($20) - 3 small pieces of beer battered salmon, very dense and definitely tasting of wild caught salmon. It came with good fries and a really good, fresh cole slaw. There is a small refrigerator stocked with cans of certain beers for sale. Unfortunately, we were dismissively told that they were out of the Amber bottles for sale. So after our meal, went to the front to purchase directly from the front staff. Their Japanese rice beer from their Session lineup ($10 for a six pack) was available and what we brought back home with us.
