El Cruzero — Restaurant in Philomath

A little different than your standard Mexican affair because I think it's specific to a region. The food is great though, and they have a variety of sauces with various heat levels. Solid beverage options. The customer service is very good. Definelty hope this place makes it.

Edit— one of my favorite Mexican spots and in a shell gas station no less. Everything I’ve tried here has been good or great. The flavors can take time to get used to if you’re used to your standard Tex mex stuff (no shame in that game).

I highly recommend this little place in the Mobil gas station. There's something amazing about Mobil gas when they have these neat little restaurants tucked inside with the best food you...

The tortas are now even more delicious. Tried the cochinita torta, pastor torta and the carnitas torta. All 3 went from being amazing before to absolutely perfect now due to the new bread. The first time I walked in was over 2 years ago. All the menu choices with names I knew nothing about caused a little confusion at first. Now I have learned that Irvin is an absolute magician in the kitchen. You can get nachos and tacos and burritos at a lot of places. Trust me when I say that the further you steer out of your comfort zone, the more you will appreciate his...
