There is plenty of parking and you have so many choices. It's not always easy to get everyone to agree on what they want and they have many food carts and drink options to choose from. There are also a variety of seating options. It was quite warm when I was there and more shaded areas would have been nice. The bathrooms are also in great need of improvement. I would still recommend a stop here, especially to relax and catch up with friends or if you want to go out but you're not sure what you want or just feel like keeping your options open.

Overall a good experience! It was a little odd that we were there before 8 pm on a Saturday and so…read moremany carts were closed or getting ready to close up. Everyone we spoke with was friendly and I loved how clean and pretty the grounds are with lots of vegetation, games, ample seating options, and good lighting! We tried food from the Turkish and Mexican trucks, and I forgot to get food photos. The Turkish truck was our least favorite, the kofta had pink in the middle, the tzatziki could have used more garlic, and the hummus was a very thin consistency. Overall not an ideal experience but the rice was delicious, the pita was possibly the best pita I've ever had, and the owners/workers were incredibly kind. The Mexican truck was better, but there were a couple mix ups with our food. The owner/server working that truck was kind, but did not speak/understand English well, which led to some mixups. I have no problem with this, it's not meant to be derogatory in any way, it just caused some difficulty with ordering / making medications to our order (and unfortunately we're not fluent in Spanish, so we couldn't make up the middle ground in the communication issues). Our enchiladas were ordered with verde sauce, came out with red sauce and the burrito we ordered and added beans to the inside did not have beans on the inside; additionally, we almost didn't get our drink until we asked for it. They definitely seem to be a work in progress still and the only restrooms are upgraded outdoor porta-potty's (but think elevated) but don't seem to be accessible as there's a step up. I can appreciate the vision and we'll definitely be back as they continue to upgrade. The only other thing I've seen complaints about is parking; there was no event that night at any of the venues, so we had ample parking, and I could see several parking options as well as lots of street parking in the surrounding areas. This must be something they've improved upon, but it had better parking than almost any other pods in Beaverton or Portland.

I really love their green sauce, very tasty, but could be a bit hotter. They do have a (probably habanero based) red sauce, but I find the heat overwhelms the taste.

There are lots of choices for meats; carnitas, pastor, asada & chorizo are my favorites. Canned soda is $1, but not the coldest sodas around. All in all, a very yummy place to get great tacos!

The service here is good, but what stands out to me is that I feel like I am sitting down to a family meal! The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and on busy nights, expect them to be full. When it is busy, the sound level is good - we did not struggle to communicate with each other, which surprised me due to the size of the room. There looked to be another space through some doors, but I didn't adventure back there. The food is delicious and you can tell that the chef has spent quality time ensuring that his execution is great.

In general, the Portland metro area doesn't have burgers worth crowing about…read more The old timers will rave about Helvetia Tavern, Skyline, Roake's, Jim Dandy, Mike's Drive In, Fuller's, and Nob Hill burgers. These are various takes on Burger King's Whopper and it's difficult to prove otherwise. Canard's steamed slider? A chef'd up White Castle. Champs, Farmer and the Beast and Tulip Shop? Yes, every city has smash burgers now, congratulations. Wolf's Head? The issue with throwing pork into the mix is some days it's glorious and some days it's the driest burger you'll ever eat. Higgins?! Yes, dad, your $30 bacon cheeseburger was totally worth it and not at all a slightly upgraded McMenamins offering. But Five Stars? I'm genuinely stunned every time Grand Lodge has a show and this place isn't packed. Those who know treasure it, and those who lack the patience are missing out. There's enough commentary on the spartan interior and the counter-and-drink-cooler aesthetic, but the important detail is the note to customers to the right of the register: Your meal is going to take time. It's going to be perhaps 20 to 40 minutes. It will not come out before that time. If you are in a hurry, please go elsewhere. They say this as straightforwardly as they can: They would rather have the time to prepare your meal correctly and sell fewer burgers than churn out nonsense to more customers. Armed with that knowledge, I ordered a bulgogi cheeseburger, took my drink, and settled in to watch the traffic. On a weekday, my only companions were older couples who'd clearly been coming in for years. About 25 minutes later, the burger arrived on its char-toasted kaiser bun (a rarity out here). On the first bite, I encountered both flavor and texture I could only compare to a wagyu-based take on a Big Mac that I'd sampled at a Chicago culinary festival. The patty melted into a near pate, while the bulgogi blended with the cheese into a complementary umami flavor that chains like Umami Burger never quite achieved and local spots like Mr. Bento seem too focused on speed and volume to prepare correctly. I am absolutely late to the party here and realize that countless influencers, food critics, car clubs, and Western Washington County regulars have already made 5 Stars an overwhelming success. But that "best in Oregon" claim isn't just a tilted Yelp score or foodie hyperbole: It's a whole lot of time and effort paying off in a product worth the expense. 5 Star unquestionably makes the best burger in this state, but it's the care taken by the family behind it and the genuine love of the community surrounding it that separates it from the crowd. P.S. I can't believe the former owner of Piattino left a bad review. What would I rather do with my life: Make food and experiences that people remember months to years later and serve as the basis for comparison to every burger that comes next, or open the 30th reclaimed-barnwood restaurant in town with a forgettable take on the same pizza made by at least three other Portland spots?
