Ixtapa Clatskanie — Restaurant in Clatskanie

Shovel food hot and you're instantly in business. Was it bad? No. Would you cook steak with no salt, cumin, cilantro and call it good? It wasn't even seared. Tough like leather. Where is the flavor? The menu had a red chili next to the item and my Mother in law could eat it. She cries from black pepper. I know It's a fifty-fifty shot with jalapenos, and that's why I ordered some chilis fritos. I didn't expect a culinary masterpiece, but flavor is why I choose Mexican. I shoulda had the Pizza next door. Okay. So I felt guilty that maybe I was too harsh. That's why I'm back tonight. Tried something with pico de gallo. Same thing tonight. Everything tastes like everything else. I guess I prefer a fresher fare. How about Tequila Lime Chicken Tacos with Salsa Fresca and Queso Fresca. Throw in some Serrano peppers to circumvent the quitter jalapenos. Toast some cumino and try out some chipotle combinations.

We will however continue to make it a staple on our trips to and from the beach. It's worth the trip just...

Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. Before our 'food' arrived, we both agreed that something around us smelled like rotten meat. The 'food' arrived and my 'steak' and shrimp fajitas was simply gross. There were 2 (TWO) tiny mangled shrimp looking things that I initially thought were mushy/smashed onions.

Whatever the meat was it was super salty tiny little pieces of something. Way too much salt/spice.

It's borderline fraud and the two goofs serving seemed perfectly fine giving this garbage to me and expecting me to pay for it.

My wife ate her Chimi and said it was ok. But, the fajitas are horrible. I couldn't eat it and when the waiter asked if I wanted a box, I thought maybe I should have taken it to feed to the coyotes but I doubt they would touch it.

The pic shows all of the 'shrimp' in my...
