    Beans, rice, and toppings
    Lexi C.

    This was our first time here and we were excited to find a Mexican place on this side of town. The chips were nice and warm and the salsa and beans were very tasty. I loved my blackberry margarita but a little bummed there was no salt on the rim so next time I'll ask if they can add that. The bacon wrapped shrimp I ordered was incredibly delicious and I layered it on a tortilla with beans, grilled veggies, sour cream, and pico and it was amazing! I also enjoyed the beans and rice on the side and thought my meal was delicious. My man ordered a carne asada burrito and we thought the meat was delicious however the burrito wasn't our favorite so next time we will try something else for him. The service was great and all the ladies were informative, nice, and attentive. The ambiance and atmosphere was nice too and it had an authentic vibe. I can't wait to try other items here when we go back again!!

    The food was amazing and plenty of it. The service was great - no waiting. The cheese enchiladas were amazing - had a really good sauce. The ambiance was good considering it an open concept. Would return for sure.

    My friend from Whidbey requested this for take out and called it "Island Mexican food". Maybe I'm too much of a mainlander but it wasn't my cup of tea. My fajita salad was just a few strips of beef with lettuce, eggs, uncooked mushroom, and a few bits of avocado. It didn't even come with any dressing. My friend got the carne asada and loved it, though it seemed like a small portion for the price to me. My wife got one of the biggest burritos I've ever seen; it was ok.

    Freshly fried chips!

    Came here starving after driving off the ferry! I was so happy to find this place off in the corner of a strip mall off the highway. Stuff tried: Enchiladas espinaca: spinach enchiladas which i havent seen on many menus. Great garlicky spinach inside two enchiladas. With the mexican rice and refried beans, a nice meal. Chile relleno: i almost always try this dish whenever i see it on the menu! I asked if i could get this a la carte (not listed as an option on menu) and they were nice enough to accomodate. Version here is pretty solid and the pepper still has a tiny bit of spicy heat! Complimentary tortilla chips were very fresh out of the fryer and were great with excellent salsa! Do yourself a favor and ask for some extra salsa to pour on everything.

    Our favorite Mexican Restaurant here in Whidbey Island. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. The service is fast and the food are always delicious. The salsa and chips always tasted fresh. Our favorites are the combination menus. We like the cheese enchiladas, burrito with shredded beef, chile relleno and chimichanga.

She made reservations and chose outdoors, not realizing it would be so cold, so I was freezing in my cotton dress. When I asked if they had any heaters, they kindly offered blankets so I took two and bundled myself up. For the amuse bouche, we got a radish with baba ghanoush and some sort of blackberry balsamic. For the first course, I got shishito peppers with baba ghanoush. The peppers weren't too spicy and paired well with the baba ghanoush. It's not something I would have probably sought out to eat myself so it was nice to have something different. For the main course, I got a shiitake, oyster mushroom rice noodle curry. This was surprisingly filling to the point that I had to waste some of the rice noodles. For dessert, I got a pear ginger blackberry fruit crisp. It was nice that you could taste that it wasn't made with a bunch of added sugar or anything. My friend got the other vegan dessert which was a coconut tapioca pudding, which I also tried, and was nice and light and tart, with some figs at the top. Service was great. Our server asked right off the bat about dietary restrictions so I told her vegan, no honey for myself. There was a very long gap between course 1 and course 2 which may have led to me getting full earlier than anticipated, and then the gap between the entree and dessert wasn't as vast. Our entire dinner took about two hours at Nourish, 7-9pm, which is longer than we expected, but the food was a pleasant experience. As a vegan, a little more protein was top of mind when reading the menu, but I love that they created good vegetable based dishes without any mock meats or excess sodium or processed ingredients. My friend also really enjoyed her food. Priced at $78 per person, it's a nice night out. We recommend.

He said he designs the menu to be safe for his wife and to meet his needs for flavor. I'm the gluten intolerant one and my husband, like the owner, often eats GF for my sake but wants to be satisfied with the texture and the flavor of food. We were in heaven and wanted to try everything. Ultimately, we ordered the chicken and waffle sliders, tempura battered chicken nuggets, cheesy corn ribs, and the mac and cheese bites. All items were winners. The batter on the tempura chicken was excellent, the mac and cheese bites and chicken and waffle sliders were so great and something I typically would never be able to order, and the star of the show was the cheesy corn ribs. Wow! Whoever thought to melt cheese on corn on the cob is a flavor genius! I will never see corn on the cob the same way because of this delicious treat. My non celiac husband agreed that everything was insanely great. Aside from the incredible gluten free food options, the place itself is so fun. Putter golf, Pokémon, hot wheels, and bobble heads galore is legitimately my son's dream business. There were so many people of all ages purchasing collectibles while we were eating. We would eat here again and again and truly enjoyed the owner and his staff.

It's super cute in the inside, and very clean. The young lady working the register didn't seem to thrilled to be there, but it is all gloomy outside today. It seems to all be made to order, as the smoothie took 15 mins to make, so if you're in a crunch I recommend waiting until you have 45-1 hr to spend. The guy that brought my smoothie explained my ticket was lost. But there were only 2 other customers at the time. Still very nice, and offered 15% discount for our wait. If you are vegan or vegetarian, and want a nice lunch I'd recommend this place as you're guaranteed a seamless experience dining. UPDATE!! Dropping my rating for this establishment from a 4 to a 1 due to the fact that our card was charged 3 times. I called to correct the situation, and the lady was very nice but assured me I'd hear back. It's 8:16 pm. We're approaching 10 hours with no call back, not even "we're working on it, or "we have not forgotten you". As a first time customer this is leaving an extremely bad taste in our mouths. $70 is not what you pay for an $8 smoothie, and $13 protein balls. Nor do we feel like this is proper customer service given the situation of money being taken from us without our consent. I will update, IF the situation changes but I don't think we will be coming back here. Or at least to this location. Which is a major bummer given the fact that Oak Harbor desperately needs better healthy dining options. FINAL UPDATE: the two extra charges disappeared from our account which is great, however we never received a call back explaining the situation or giving an apology. That is unacceptable customer service in my open after such an aggravating inconvenience. We will not be returning to this location.

One of the front desk staff recommended El Molcajete Mexican Grill, about a 5 minute easy drive away. Parking is right out front and there is plenty of it. Handicapped too, with no stairs or steps to get in or out. Nice, clean, welcoming and I LOVED the carved Mexican diningroom chairs with the hand painted agave plants. The artwork on the walls was mighty impressive too. Very pleasant. It was not crowded the night we went and it felt like a local, "regulars" crowd. Older, with lots of experience with the giant Margaritas served. I think there was at least one at every table. Husband tried the CAMARONES A LA DIABLA ($23): grilled shrimp with hot red sauce. Served with lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, onions, rice, beans, avocado slices and tortillas. It was HUGE. The plate it was served on reminded me of the turn-table plate from a microwave oven! I tried the TACOS DE CAMARON ($23): grilled shrimp folded in three corn tortillas drenched with red sauce. Served with lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, rice, beans and avocado slices. I actually would have just ordered the regular street tacos if I had known mine was going to be drenched in red sauce. Both meals were tasty but neither of us could finish the huge portions. Staff is friendly & efficient. Food arrived very quickly too. There are two TVs on the wall, both tuned to some sporting event. I believe the sound was off as I also heard Mexican music quietly playing in the background. Nice place if this is your vibe for Mexican food (aka Tex-Mex). You won't leave hungry or unhappy, especially if you have a giant Margarita!
