A friend and I selected a patio table here after a nice bike ride from Banks to Vernonia. Thank god we did! The team at La Cabaña is a fun time and will be ready to make you believe in Mexican cuisine of small towns. Our server, "Martha12" as the receipt indicated, was a blast. She was non-stop jokes and sass, especially given that I am a very white man who clearly rarely consumes this fantastic cuisine. We started simple with carona, limes, and some chips. After some time reviewing the very large menus, she came and took our orders. Each of us went with an enchilada and burrito, with added refried beans to load up on more carbs and protein. We had ample time to relax, and the large umbrellas made me happy to be out of the sun. I ordered a piña colada, and holy heck, did it ever come in the largest cocktail glass known to man. Thank god I had help to consume it with a friend. The indoor space is quaint and small, so I expect in cooler weather that it would be hard to find seating. In summer there are several outdoor seating areas. There aren't many places to keep bikes when eating, so the team recommended the alley nearby. Ours ended up being safe, but, I would definitely recommend bringing locks. Parking should be ample, and the cute small town streets were a nice vibe. I left very content, and would definitely return on my next cycling adventure. read more

Mary and I stopped in here for a late lunch. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated. It was clean, nice painted Mexican type wall murals and art. Chips and salsa came right out; the salsa was mild and had excellent flavor. It was taco Tuesday so we both had a beef and chicken taco; very tasty. Get in here and give this place a try! read more

There's two very good Mexican places in town but this one is the better in my opinion. It's small, Very authentic Mexican fare at reasonable prices. Abundant portions so you won't leave hungry. There is a decent size Mexican population in the area so a mediocre Mexican place wouldn't last long here. You won't go wrong patronizing either and I've eaten at both several times. But this one is my absolute favorite when I'm out in Columbia County. read more

La Cabana - Carne Asada 5/5 stars!!! - Mexican Near Me - Vernonia, Oregon

Friendly staff! Great food! Fun drinks! We stopped in to La Cabana for dinner while camping nearby at Stubb Stewart. They accommodated our group of 5 easily. We ordered drinks and tortilla soup right away. The tortilla soup was fantastic! It's a must try! The drinks were fun. Our server had never made one of the drinks we ordered before and warned us but she did a great job! They have a large menu with tons of options. They have options for kids that might not be Mexican food fans and many vegetarian options as well. We ordered several meals, pictures included of a couple of them. Everything was served hot and was flavorful. The meats were well seasoned and veggies seemed fresh. We were all happy with our meal choices. If you're seeking good Mexican type food while in the area we recommend giving this place a try. read more

La Cabana - Tortilla Soup - Mexican Near Me - Vernonia, Oregon

This is a decent Tex-Mex joint. The proprietors are super personable. They have a few street-side tables. The food is just what you'd expect of an American style Mexican restaurant. Various combination plates of Mexican fare on one of those super hot oval plates. But the ingredients are all super fresh. Their house salsa is great too. read more

La Cabana - the interior of a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Vernonia, Oregon

Great food, fantastic server, awesome experience. We flew through our food so I didn't get pictures but it was very good. The experience started out with a super friendly server. He sat down a party of 5. (2 of them being kids). We got 2 plates of chips, beans, and salsa while we waited for our meal. The overall atmosphere was relaxing and quiet. Once our main dishes arrived, we gobbled it down. I had the Mexican pizza, and it was very well done. The kids shared a quesadilla meal, which was abundant enough for them both. There was plenty of food, drinks well made (house margarita), and a great server who checked on us often. I highly recommend you stop in! read more

During our dining experience we were the only customers. Our server was super friendly and helpful and we had no problems with service or our meals. Due to weather we dined indoors. The interior is cheerful and colorful. We felt our meals were pretty standard. We'd recommend sticking with the basics (burritos and enchiladas). read more

We came in unannounced with a group of 14, and they were very friendly and got our group situated without batting an eye. Service was excellent and prompt and we felt welcome. The food was delicious, the murals on the wall and environment inside is lovely. This place should be on your go-to list if you're in town!! They also brought a dessert at the end just because. read more

We stopped by while visiting this quaint town for the first time. The food is delicious and far surpassed our expectations. I had the taquitos and a blackberry margarita and both were so good!

I lived in Mexico for almost 5 years and this place has the most authentic fish tacos I have tasted outside of Mexico. If you haven't tried fish tacos but love fish and tacos, give it a go. You will not be disappointed!! Oh yeah, hubby says that their carne asada tacos or wet burritos are the bomb too! read more

I should have written a review last fall because that would have been five stars. However, this experience was very different. Then: I took a chance and asked if the tamales were small and filled with ground beef, the server went back to ask and came back with a yes. This is what I grew up eating in Texas, in the northwest most are shredded pork with almost an inch of Mesa surrounding the meat. My husband ordered the burrito asada. We were both in heaven. Fast forward to today. I ordered the ground beef tamales and my husband ordered the same burrito asada. What I received were fatter shredded beef tamales and the husband's asada was overly salted. I asked what happened to the ground beef tamales because I was so looking forward to it from last time. The server said that the tamales were always made first thing in the morning. I left them uneaten. There was NO attempt to make it right. To make the visit more memorable, we were told after the meal that we had to go and get cash because the card reader was down. $7 in ATM fees later, we were finally able to leave. Tips: ALWAYS ask what the tamale of the day is for that day. And ask whether they are a cash only service for that day as well. read more

Typical Mexican-American fare, appropriately portioned for the price. Flavors were lack luster, salsa could use more pizzazz. Ordered during happy hour so that sweetened the meal and $5 margarita deal. Good in a pinch and for Vernonia. La Cabana has an excellent location on the main street and local food opportunity to capture as Vernonia develops and becomes a destination for weekend tourists. Step up your game and let the fiesta begin!!! read more

I rode my bike from Banks to Vernonia today, arriving at noon and quite hungry after a grueling 22 mile journey. The young lady welcomed me warmly and let me sit at one of the outside tables on the sidewalk. Chips, salsa and bean dip were brought out within seconds of my arrival, and were delicious. It was s beautiful sunny day. She served me a frosty Negra Modelo beer and took my order, the Chile Rojo burrito with rice and beans. It was a wonderful meal. And their bathroom is the cleanest I've seen in a long, long time, anywhere. I'll be back soon to this quaint, clean and delicious little restaurant in the green hills of Western Oregon.

Best Mexican food I've had in a long while! The relleno is what keeps me coming back! Staff is friendly, and prices are right.

I have been here twice now. Great drinks, better food! Service with a smilenis hard to find these days, but Vernonia businesses seem to offer it in spades. La Cabana is no exceptions. Amazing staff, and I love the food and experience every time. Keep it up! read more

Chose this place based on Yelp reviews. Unfortunately it did not meet expectations. Pros: reasonably friendly and quick service, ok food, and clean restroom. Cons: food just ok, crowded dining room, no greeting/had to seat ourselves and biggest con -- very dirty! Floors, tables and menu VERY sticky, piles of dirty towels in corner and years of accumulated dust on decor throughout restaurant. It is my sincere hope is that this is not a reflection of the kitchen cleanliness. It certainly diminished my appetite. We will not return. read more

Just passing through and we stopped for a quick bite to eat at 8pm. I had a large margarita and my husband a cold beer-- they both lived up to the expectation. Restaurant was clean, staff was incredibly friendly & attentive. Food was amazing. I had tamales (small plate combo) and it was more than enough! My husband the fajitas--they came out sizzling and perfect. Chips & salad of course, and the salsa was delicious. For being a small town this place was ON POINT. 100% recommend. read more
