Located inside a tiny convenience store in a random, out-of-the-way spot, it would be easy to miss the hidden, magical gem that is Jorge's Kitchen. You might find yourself stopping by for a bottle of Coke or a bag o' Doritos and not even notice the tiny window in the back where the magic happens. That is, until you start smelling the scents of authentic, delicious Mexican food like tacos, burritos, ceviche, and some of the best salsa I've had in awhile. And if tasty eats aren't a good enough reason to visit, they also have several local craft beers on tap to enjoy with your lunch. Seating is available indoors or out, although many seem to grab their grub to go. On my most recent visit I tried their ceviche and, while simple in ingredients, it hit the mark on taste and freshness. The portion was deceptively large - I thought it wasn't much but could barely finish it. Every time I'm near Jorge's (which, thankfully for my waistline, isn't too often) I find myself pulled their by a magical Mexican food tractor beam. You know, like the Death Star in Star Wars. But in a good way, of course.

This place was recommended to me by a galley worker on the san juan ferry. Was heading home to seattle so gave it a try. Its a nondescript country gas station. In the front is a massive selection of cigarettes and baggies of synthetic marijuana, bags of chips, cookies and soda. Eyes drift left theres a 3 stool bar with taps showing a good selection of local beers. Further left youre looking at the back wall, a back lit menu and food specials on a white board and a tiny window where you order food. I got two beef, two pork tacos on a plate of rice and beans, and a pint of elysian stardust. Beer was good and fresh. Food was great after dousing from the ketchup bottle of green salsa. Was $12 for 3 tacos on rice and beans, 2.75 for extra taco, $4 for beer. Perfect, no complaints. Had a nice 60 minute conversation with another customer. Ill definitely return. Sorry about the food picture, i forgot until plate was nearly empty. Super good. I want to try the super natchos.

Great food and service! You would not expect such a great place in a small gas station, but highly recommend you give them a try!

Worst chimichanga I've ever had. Was really hoping for a better product as well the online menu is not accurate with the price. I paid 14.65 for a sour chimichanga.. online stated 8 something. Idk why this place is number one on Yelp, plenty better spots then this.

Was on a road trip when we stopped for snacks but found ourselves in a restaurant! Very nice staff, tons of bevs, good beers, great food.

I've been going here for five years. I was SO good originally. Lately, we go there on a rare occasion just to see if things have improved. It's been hit and miss the past few times and tonight was particularly disappointing.. Meat quality varies and at this point I think the only thing good about them is that they are close to home and open later than others. They even USED to be one of the good places that would give you all the extras like the grilled jalapeño and grilled onions that are sooo delicious. I asked for extra salsa tonight and found out they now charge $.50 for a tiny salsa.... Of which they were all less than half full! I'd be so embarrassed to serve this food and charge extra for half empty salsas... very disappointing.

I ordered the asada burrito and while it was good, it was more expensive than other places. You can get a burrito elsewhere for cheaper just as tasty. Overall, what makes this a convenient place is that it's in a neighborhood and close to me.

I almost don't want to write a review because the food is so good and they were already quite busy the times I have gone. They have the best Mexican food in such a random location. It is seriously Mt Vernon's best kept secret. The burritos, tacos, and nachos are to die for! And even though they get busy, I have never waited longer than 10-15 minutes for my food. You will NOT regret eating at Jorge's! read more

Yelp really helps us find the out-of-the-way spots that we would never find on our own when we are in unfamiliar neighborhoods. Friday night we were on our way to a show at Macyntire Hall in Mount Vernon and we only had about an hour to eat something quickly. A search turned up Jorge's and we had a quick and delicious meal there in a funky little beer garden behind a gas station. The tacos were tasty, the beans and rice were good, and the quirky setting made it all much more fun. We will certainly visit again. read more

Thanks to yelpers, my husband and I found this behind-a-gas-station hole-in-the-wall type Mexican place that was a great find. We opted for the carne asada plate, nachos with chicken, and two tacos. It was a lot of food! My favorite of the meats was the adobada - it made for a really flavorful and delicious taco. Our chicken nachos were delicious - loaded with toppings and (possibly homemade) thick chips. The carne asada plate was nothing special but it was great to have rice and beans to eat with our meal. I'm not in Mount Vernon very often, but I'd definitely give Jorge's Kitchen my business. go for the adobada. (For anyone who cares, dogs are not allowed.) read more

Our server was Rainey, she was awesome, very attentive, and came to our table right away to take our order. The atmosphere at Temperate Habits is very nice, there is outside seating but we sat inside due to the bright evening sun. Our meals took quite a while to arrive, I think we were at the tail end of the dinner rush and my guess is they have a small kitchen. My classic cheeseburger was about the most generic, predictable, and utterly boring burger I could imagine, and for $17 I would certainly not return for that or the mundane shoestring fries. The burger patty, bun, and fries were all non creative and the there was nothing even the slightest bit unique about my burger, in fact I swear it is the exact same burger that the Skagit River Brewery serves just around the corner. The surprise entree was the Crab and Lobster Tots, now whoever thought that would be good? The plate looked very strange to say the least but I have to say.... this dish was really good! So you'd think if they could create that total mayhem of a dish that they could get far more creative with the burgers and least have a house burger sauce or a higher quality bun for $17, something? I might return to Temperate Habits to have a drink with friends and share some tots, because they give you a large enough portion for four people, but I would certainly look elsewhere for a good burger. 5 stars for atmosphere and service, 1 star for the burger, 4 stars for the tots.

The patio faces one of the main streets so there was lots of good people watching. I ordered a beer flight and was very satisfied with all four of my selections: Prickly Pear Kolsch - it was creamy and easy to drink, bursting with prickly pear flavor; just the right amount of tart and sweet. Lightly Buzzed Honey Lavender Blonde - my favorite of the flight; it was very hoppy but light and refreshing and well balanced by intense lavender flavor and a smooth honey finish. Get it! You won't regret it. High Five Hefe - lighter/less hazy and more hoppy than most hefes it made for a unique and complimentary beer on my flight. Pommeroys Citra Pale Ale - a perfect West Coast IPA. To eat, my pup got the Lucky Dog hamburger (which the chef pre-cut) and loved it! He chowed down in less than a minute. And I got the Mac & Cheese Burger (sub a veggie patty) with the Garlic Fries. It was a very indulgent meal to say the least. The burger was loaded with so much Mac & Cheese that I couldn't even put the top bun on it and pick it up. lol I had to knife and fork the whole thing which was totally worth it. The Mac is a classic home style recipe (think Stouffers but better). Their fries are shoestring and super crispy and salty. And they loaded those up with an amazing garlic aioli and Parmesan. I got a side of their house-made curry aioli and was obsessed with it. Every fry that didn't have sauce or parm got a dip in that deliciousness and I added it to quite a few of the burger bites too. All in all, a great brewpub that I look forward to returning to in the future!

Whatevs. The drink menu is mostly chock-a-block with IPAs, blondes and lagers - ambers and darks are perhaps just not in their wheelhouse. We also came because they supposedly have a pool table here. And they do - tucked away in a dimly lit corner upstairs. We had to ask the waitress to turn on the lights for us, but only a mostly-burned out string of Costco tivoli lights served to illuminate the space. It was very hard to see the balls, or our food. Food? We had a flatbread pizza and Brussels. They were ok. They're probably better at sandwiches...again, we hit 'em where they ain't... So, the "up and down" bit: If you want to sit upstairs, fine, but you must order downstairs. Want to use a restroom? Downstairs. All done and ready to close tab? Downstairs. The bartender (running the place solo, apparently) was gracious and accommodating in bringing us food and refills upstairs, though, and we tipped accordingly. Good service. Not our particular cup of tea, perhaps, but give 'em a shot if you like IPAs and lagers, and don't care a whiff about pool or pizza. You might like it!

I've been wanting to check out Garden Path Fermentation for the last few months. Finally made a pit…read morestop in Skagit on the way to Seattle. They're located close to the Burlington airport; look for the wooden chair with a "beer here" sign. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (around 1:30pm). They've got a cute patio outside along with two communal style tables and bar seats inside. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. Go up to the bar to order your drinks. The beers consisted of 9 Garden Path flavours, two meads and several guest beers/ciders/wines. They don't do flights, which is disappointing and none of their fruit flavoured beers were available to sample. They have a MASSIVE variety of rare, unique beers along with some interesting cider and wines. Beer bottles from Jester King, Atwood Ales, The Ale Apothecary and Crooked Stave, to name a few. From Canada, they even had two bottles from Dieu du Ciel. Majority are from the States but they had some beers from Australia, Estonia and Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, France and Italy). They also have a couple board games and funny enough, they had these mystery/surprise beer bags for sale. Not sure how much they were though. - The easygoing drink ($3.00 US for 5oz) - lightly tart ale fermented in a foudre and finished in stainless steel. This was our favourite from the three we sampled. - Amber dreams of electric sheep ($3.00 US for 5oz) - foudre-fermented, oak matured, malt-accented and native yeast amber ale. Definitely was malty. - The prime barrel age ($3.50 US for 5oz) - blend of mature barrel-aged beers. This one didn't leave much of an impression on either one of us. Garden Path's beers are different, catering more to funky than sour. If you're a beer geek, this should be a must visit. 3.5 stars.

The Porterhouse

I stopped in on "Black Friday" on my way to a medical appointment…read more The Porterhouse Pub was open and had a few tables occupied, so there was no problem getting seated. I noticed a bunch of slates with beer names and spotted a cider from Terramar advertising a Strawberry Rhubarb cider and decided I wanted to try that flavor combination. It was sweet with a little tart aftertaste. For my meal I opted for the Porterhouse Cheese Curds as an appetizer and the Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich with fries for my main dish. The cheese curds were nicely battered and fried and the housemade ranch was a nice accompaniment to the cheese curds. The spicy crispy chicken sandwich was only crispy on the outside where the batter was applied! The rest of the chicken was tender and juicy. So tasty . I didn't think the sandwich was all that spicy, but that would be my fault because I eat jalapeno like candy and routinely use habanero hot sauce on my food. Even though I didn't think it was all that spicy I did enjoy the flavor and crunch of the sandwich. There was a bunch of steak fries served with my sandwich. Excellent fries, but way too many for me to eat them all. I think I probably ate only 1/4 of them!! I was very tempted to order a slice of the chocolate cheesecake with housemade fudge for dessert, but I was stuffed by my appetizer and meal.

Stopped in here for a late afternoon snack with my daughter on Shop Small Saturday, and we had such…read morea nice time. I had been here years ago, but not in quite awhile. The service was fast and friendly, and the prices were super affordable. I especially appreciated that they had one of my favorite seltzers, from Stemma Brewing, on tap! We enjoyed a couple of appetizers. The calamari was crispy and delicious, and served with a side of tasty aioli. Although not quite enough aioli, as we ran out about half way through the calamari and had to order more. (Tbh I was kinda surprised when I saw they had charged us for the "extra" aioli.) The hot artichoke dip was good, too, though the portion was pretty small for the price. I'd come back again, but maybe during happy hour as it might be a better value.

Service was great, everyone was attentive and seemed happy to work there. We got a couple cocktails to start. The banana bread old fashioned is amazing. My wife got the pulled pork tacos and I got the prosciutto eggs benedict. Both were amazing. Pulled pork is very tender and the benedict was buttery delicious. We will definitely be going back.

The restaurant is fairly small with only a handful of tables, so I can see it getting quite busy on weekends. Fortunately, when we arrived, there were a few tables available and we were seated right away. I originally planned to order the Eggs Benedict, but when I saw the Turkish Eggs on the menu, I couldn't resist trying them instead. The toast was one of my favorite parts of the meal it was perfectly crisp, buttery, and paired beautifully with the eggs. One of the poached eggs was a bit overcooked, but the other was cooked perfectly with a delicious runny yolk. Overall, I really enjoyed my brunch and left feeling happy and satisfied.

Ever since the owners of the gas station (Sammy and his brother) the food is now officially awful.i have found out they both didn't have their food handlers permit until after 11 people have reported salmonella poisoning.and they have been seen bringing food in the back door that is being prepared at someone's house.i don't think that is sanitary.i don't even want to give 1 star.can we give negative stars read more

Jorge's Kitchen has my favorite carnitas tacos in the Skagit Valley. Their special plate - 3 tacos, beans and rice is what I dream of when I dream of taco-truck excellence. The best part is you always know where to find them - in the back of Little Mountain Grocery. Be patient, the line can get a little crazy at times, but its worth the wait. About as good as tacos get. read more

An absolute favorite place to eat for my wife and I. Come hungry, cause they give you a generous amount of flavorful, authentic, made to order Mexican food. Great carne asada. It's a small space, but they have seating outside and it's easy to take on the go. And they've got great prices for beer on tap. read more

I don't know what "authentic" means since I've never eaten Mexican food in Mexico, but my taste buds and wallet understand that this place has one of the best taste to cost ratios around. I've been in Mt. Vernon a year and can't find a better lunch to go. read more
