Elegant yet inviting dining featuring a Latin-inspired menu paired with offerings from the NW, a food-friendly wine list, and original cocktails.

Our recent meal here (of three in the past year or so) was, frankly, a sad disappointment. Service was way off -- and this was a party of 5 adults for dinner at 6.00 on a not-jam-packed Saturday. Earlier meals nicely "exceeded expectations" but this one did not. Some nice items on the menu, but here were the problems. Service was not up to par -- first, an entree order of halibut was "out" (and we ordered quite shortly after arriving at 6.00 pm), so then my son instead ordered Grilled Flat Iron Steak (sounded good: Flat iron beef rubbed with mild jalapeño adobo, served with pastel azteca, blackberry mustard, roasted garlic aioli, cilantro, ensalada de nopales) done medium well . . . but that didn't come . . . finally what arrived was a different cut of beef entirely. All our entrees were rather delayed, so my son wisely took what was in front of him . . . while my brother's ordering two appetizers for his entree made him sit for quite a while with not much on his plate. Worse of the evening was the dreadful Cauliflower 'Chorizo' and Potato Flautas -- ***AVOID*** this item at all costs. Flour tortillas ought to have warned me off; insipid red-colored filling, and not much of that, so mostly flour tortilla ; some thin gruel with diced potato -- an insult for anyone needing a vegetarian/vegan meal. I notice other reviews indicating more attention by the management is certainly needed (âNot their best showingâ). Please improve -- Corvallis needs a really good fancy restaurant. We'll wait until things improve.

I really like their Enchiladas Verdes. They're pretty spicy, which seems to be a rare thing to find at the other Mexican restaurants in town. I've been multiple times to the La Rockita on Western and the one on Kings and they're both pretty good. The one on Western seems to be more of a place where people go to get takeout (though I have eaten there as well) and you order at the counter rather than from a server. The Kings one is a sit down restaurant with chips, salsa, and your standard American-Mexican feel.

I stumbled over this restaurant while visiting the nearby Corvallis Outlet store. I had pretty much given up on Mexican food in Corvallis. I've been to Mexico many times and lived in Sonoma County for years so I know good Mexican food. That day I had a Carnitas soft taco. Wow, the best soft taco I've had in Corvallis. I went back the next night and ordered a Torta to go. Great torta. And best of all, they give you chips and salsa on take out orders. This is the only Mexican restaurant I have found that includes free chips and salsa. And the chips were great!
