Qdoba Mexican Grill

$8.50 will get you a Chicken Queso Burrito, a regular sized drink, and it'll leave you with two cents left over to write a review here on yelp.

Qdoba is your typical semi-fast food restaurant (a la Subway). You place your order and they slap it together while you walk down the production line greedily make your selections, and ask for "a little more of that please."

Over all the food is good, but if you have superior tastes such as I, then you know that cilantro is one of the worst flavors in the world (It's right up there with brussel sprouts and dog turds), and their rice is a cilantro lime rice. YUCKY! I asked if they had plain rice, and they said "No." I asked for brown rice, and they said "No" again! No alternatives to their filthy cilantro rice, so I had to go rice-less. That made for a very slim burrito in my over sized hand. :(

My burrito was still good, but until they get some other rice options I probably wont be back. Don't let this review stop you cilantro lovers from coming here though. You'll probably enjoy this place quite a bit.

My first stop here was opening week, and they were busy as expected, even during lunch. Service was very attentive, but they might have been overstaffed due to the Grand Opening. Not sure how long that's last, but I enjoyed my glass never running dry.

The amphitheater behind the Old Church/Brew house looks like it'll provide many a good nights of music. I'm actually looking forward to hearing some music there.

Typical McMenamins food. Nothing to send your taste buds into over drive, but a decent meal.

Defiantly a great place for after work drinks.

I'm miserable right now, and it's all Tonalli's fault! If they wouldn't have made such damn delicious donuts, I wouldn't have just eaten three, and now feel like my gut is going to explode! I planned on only have one tonight, but after having the fantastical butter milk bar, that they claimed was made with love, I couldn't stop. It must have been made with love, sex, and everything else euphoric.

I also had the coconut cream topped chocolate donut that tasted like the donut version of a mounds bar, and a chocolate old fashioned, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and wonderfully cake-y on the inside. Best old fashioned donut I've ever had. TRUTH!

Forget everything else I've ever said about the other Portland donuts shops. Tonalli's IS the best donut shop in town.

I get gas here sometimes. What did you expect from my review? I mean, I pull up, they fuel up my vehicle, and I drive off. Not much could go wrong there.

I guess the good things about this gas station is that it's across the street from Costco, so it has slightly cheaper prices than other brand name stations. Costco is cheaper, but it makes my car idle rough, so 76 wins my $40 fill up.

Artistic Auto Body

After a deer jumped into my car and rolled all the way down the driver's side I searched for a good body shop. I asked friends, co-workers, searched Yelp, and dare I say I even searched some other review sites. I found that their aren't many reviews for body shops. Most of the reviews I found sounded very biased, but Artistic had a few reviews that stood out. So I gave them a shot. Even though I butted heads and possibly offended the estimator I worked with, Artistic Auto Body well deserves 5 stars.

Artistic did a ton of great things for me. They explained the process I needed to go through with AAA, set up the rental car with Enterprise next door, called me with updates on my vehicle and extra damage found, didn't accept the crappy mirror that AAA wanted them to use and then got a good replacement, repaired the damage flawlessly, vacuumed the interior, touched up some small rock chips for free, and gave me a free bottle of touch up paint. Amazing!

The only small problem I has was with my estimator's swirly-ness. I'm not one that's afraid of confrontation, and if I have a problem or don't like something, you best BELIEVE I'm gonna say something. It's just how I roll. I would ask the estimator a question and he wouldn't give me a solid answer. For example, they found some rust under the windshield. There were two options to fix it. Just paint over it for free as that's part of the process anyway, or remove the rust and paint over it for which was "several hundred dollars of work". Several hundred? How much is that? $200? $800?! That's a big difference! He said he didn't know. You don't know how much something costs, and your the estimator? That bugged me a lot.

The next day when I went to look at the rust, I confronted him about being swirly. He got a little huffy and proclaimed he was a professional, and that he didn't know because his technician hadn't looked at it to see how extensive the damage was. If he would have just said "I don't know because of this..." I would have been happy. "I don't know" just isn't an acceptable answer to me. A little explanation goes a long way.

Like I said, this was just a small little blip on the radar of a wonderful experience.  Their craftsmanship and over all customer service was incredible. If you take your vehicle anywhere else you'll be doing yourself a severe injustice. Show owner comment »

This little dumb I-5 town has one of the best DQ's I've ever been to. The local teenagers that seem to hang out here every time I pass through are little annoying, but who cares? I'm here for 15 minutes max. Just enough time to scarf a burger and get a blizzard.

Did somebody say blizzard? Oh yea.. I did! They make the best blizzards here. The are packed full of toppings, and are mixed thoroughly, so you won't get any plan white spots as you near the bottom.

Next time you're passing through, pull over, fuel up, and grab a blizzard.

This is my new work time Starbucks, and I love it! After a few Friday morning visits the staff has already learned my order. Familiarity is good. Especially when I don't have to rattle off "Personal grande non-fat no whip white mocha"!

Thanks for ending my work week with a bang!

Tinseltown Theatres

What makes for an unpleasant movie experience? A heating and cooling system that goes from nuclear blast to arctic chill, uncomfortable seats, and noisy movie watcher wearing too much cologne. Not all of those are Tinseltown's fault, but the biggies are.

The good things were the stadium seating (the kid was able to see the screen with no obstruction), picture quality was good, sounds was good, the arcade (even though was outdated) was fun, and the staff was friendly

Over all it was an OK experience, but if the AC and Heating system would have worked better I would have given it 4 stars.

I admit it, I'm a cheapskate... No, penny pincher. No, frugal. Yeah, frugal. That sounds better. I mean, who wants to spend hella money on a haircut? I've always looked for a good deal on hair cuts. $9.99 haircut sign on the street and I'm pulling over!

After a string of not good haircuts, and some arm twisting by my GF to go somewhere decent with the same people working there to build up some consistency, I gave Bishops a try.

Two years later and I'm still coming back every 3-4 weeks to have Marisa cut my hair. She can rock a pair of scissors like nobody's business, and I have never received a bad haircut. She listens to my haircut requests and always delivers with skill, humor and great customer service.

Before I would never pay more than $18 for a haircut, but now I won't go anywhere else but here to have Marisa work her magic.
