Call me crazy, but I really like the pizza here. The Hawaiian Supreme with pepperoni instead of ham... om nom nom! They're inexpensive, they're close to my house, and they're yummy. Also, cheesy bread FTW!

Seriously, there's nothing not to love. I'm happier with them than I am with Domino's most days.

Much improved from the last time I was here. The food still isn't that great, but I would totally come here for happy hour any time! The Mexican Mojito is SO YUMMY!

    I'd heard that this food here was great. I'm gonna go ahead and say "eh. It was alright."

    I got the steak fajitas.. the steak was awesome. It was really good. And the veggies that came with it were kind of sweet and complimented the steak well. The beans were mediocre though (and slightly overcooked) and the rice had no flavor whatsoever.

    The chips were enormous and the salsa was good. The service was good too. The food just wasn't very impressive.

Came here for dinner after being ignored at the place I was at before. The service was prompt and friendly, and I had my food in front of me nice and quick, which is always a plus.

The food itself is kind of mediocre, though. It's not bad, and it's pretty inexpensive, but I've definitely had better. They do deliver though, so it seems like a good lunch option for when I'm feeling cheap and lazy.

Thai Derm Restaurant

Update - 7/6/2011
Since my last review, I've eaten here numerous times, and sadly, my opinion of the place has gone downhill.

The food is still great. I'm actually really bummed that I need to find a new favorite Thai place.

See, every time I've gone back, the service has gotten worse and worse. Many of the waitresses are rude, they keep changing their minds about when they deliver, and getting ignored gets old quick.

Last night was the last straw, though. My boyfriend and I went in for dinner. The restaurant was pretty quiet, and there was plenty of waitstaff there.... yet, 20 minutes later, nobody had even been by to drop off water for us, let alone take our order. So we got up and left, and went someplace else. Cause really, 20 minutes of radio silence is just not acceptable on a quiet night.

    Came here for dinner on the recommendation of some friends of mine, and this is definitely the best place they've ever sent me (I've learned not to trust their taste in Mexican food but they haven't steered me wrong in other types of food!)

    I thought the seats were pretty clever, if not a little odd. It kind of emulates kneeling at a low table.

    I had the cocount soup, medium spice, and it cleared my sinuses right out (which is why I ordered it, so nicely done!) and also had the red curry with peanut sauce,also medium, and it was amazingly yummy.

    The thai iced tea was good, the service was good, and the portions were big enough that I had more than enough to eat for lunch the next day. Oh and the lunch time prices are amazing.

    I highly recommend this place!

I had really been looking forward to coming here for a while. I really love Cuban food, but sadly, my favorite Cuban place is 1000 miles away, in Los Angeles. One of my friends pointed me in Pambiche's direction, and so I finally got a chance to check it out.

The first thing I noticed is that the prices seemed a bit steep. $8 for a small plate of maduros is really quite unacceptable, I've never paid more than $4. On top of that, they were overcooked, which was quite tragic.

The ropa vieja had a good texture to it, but the flavor wasn't quite right. There wasn't enough sauce, and the little bit of sauce that it did have was kind of watery. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't very good either.

The beans and rice were a-okay, but honestly, you have to go out of your way to not do black beans and white rice well.

All in all, the meal was pretty mediocre and overpriced - I'd have been a lot happier if my meal came out to $10 less for the quality.

The ambiance was nice though, and the heaters over the outdoor seating kept me nice and cozy. The service was a little lackluster. We weren't ignored, but out waitress didn't really seem interested in making sure we were all set.

It seems like it'd be a decent lunch option if you're in the area, but I won't be returning for dinner.

I wound up here because I can't turn down a half-off meal, and Groupon had a deal here. I'd mostly given up on new Mexican places in the 'Tron, but I am SO HAPPY that we went!

First off this is the first time I've had Mexican rice that I actually liked since moving to Portland. Usually I have to throw salsa or something in the rice to make it taste like anything at all (what can I say, my abuelita spoiled me!)... not this stuff. It's not the best Mexican rice on the planet, but it's certainly the best I've had in Beaverton. It is good stuff, no lie. The beans were pretty nom-worthy, as well.

I was also really happy with the tamales. Most mexican restaurants drown their tamales in some kind of sauce to cover the fact that they have no flavor and that the masa is really bad.. not here! There was a bit of sauce on it, but my tamale wasn't drowning in it, and it was really quite tasty. I love that they sell them in bulk, too! I'll have to buy some for Christmas so I can feel like I'm back home.

Oh, and don't forget to get a margarita, because duh, it's a mexican restaurant and it's practically a sin not to.

This is a good place for a quick lunch, or a "I'm far too lazy to cook tonight" dinner. The serving sizes are good, and the food isn't bad at all. The tacos are pretty tasty and the prices are reasonable.

Also, they have mexican hot chocolate. Yum!

Oh, and my favorite part is that they're right up the street from my house, so I can have mexican food whenever I want. Win!

It looks totally skeezy from the outside, but the food was pretty good and was pretty cheap on their "renovation special". It took a really long time for my order to be ready, though, which was surprising because it's sushi, it's not like it has to be cooked when I order it!

Bad service, mediocre food, lousy location. Parking is a mess. One of my friends said it best: this place is like a Chuck E Cheese in disguise... SO many kids running around!
