Restaurants in Oregon City

Visitors at Tortilleria Y Tienda De Leon can order tacos on housemade tortillas to eat in the store, or they can browse aisles of groceries to make authentic Mexican meals at home. Its display cases brim with “colorful Mexican sweet buns” available for carryout, according to OregonLive. In the grocery section, butchers cut fresh slabs of meat at the meat counter, and an assortment of fresh produce eliminates the need to make salad with leaves from a neighbor’s oak tree.

Three signs at Skyline Restaurant's pioneer boulevard location echo its 1935 origins—a neon "Open" sign glowing beneath the awning, a Coca-Cola sign flanking the parking lot, and a "Burgers and Shakes" marker crowning the roof. The Broadway location's dining space similarly hearkens back to Skyline's beginnings with its checkerboard tiles and booths and its insistence on only accepting money from the 1930s. Though all these design elements reflect Skyline's reputation as a classic American burger joint, the menu demonstrates that its chefs never stopped experimenting. The burger selection extends to half-pound steak burgers with topping combinations such as guacamole, pepper jack, salsa, and sour cream. Such innovation captured Food Network Magazine's choice for Oregon's Best Burger in 2009. The chefs' experimentation continues throughout the menu, from milk shakes blended with pie to a deep-fried hot dog dubbed The Resolution Destroyer.

The organic gurus at Yorganic craft creamy frozen yogurts and sorbets packed with active probiotics and certified organic ingredients, many of which hail from nearby farms. Inside the shop's brightly painted walls, visitors help themselves to classic frozen treats, such as dark-chocolate yogurt and a Stumptown coffee blend, as well as specials, which have previously included organic cake batter and blood-orange sorbet. A stocked toppings bar encourages customization with fresh fruits, candies, and nuts. Meanwhile, staff behind the bar whips up smoothies and bubble teas loaded with organically grown bubbles in varietals such as strawberry and banana.

Four nights a week, the notes from live local jazz artists resonate off the high copper ceilings and bronze chandeliers of Wilfs Restaurant & Bar, which has served upscale cuisine within Portland's restored Union Station building since 1975. Head chef Deb Serkoian complements the serenade by crafting seasonal dishes with organic ingredients culled from local and regional farmers, including fresh seafood and meat from sources such as Painted Hills, Draper Valley, and Carlton Farms. At the bar, mixologists pour classic cocktails and new signature concoctions inspired by the seasons, recalling the annual beauty of a violet bud as it blooms into a glass of cabernet.

Today's tortilla-wrapped Groupon is the fastest thing to happen to Mexican food since the automatic taco. For $5, you’ll get $12 worth of quick, tasty, south-of-the-border savories from Bajio Mexican Grill’s Clackamas location, the only location that contains a magical wisdom-granting stone. Taco Plate: Each of the tacos comes with your choice of meat and veggies and contains every taco in the universe inside itself, rendering most of the tacos useless. Eaters are plunged into suicidal despair.
