“ Amazing food. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Easy to find location w/good parking. ”

“ The food is excellent and the staff superb. I had three tacos with a side of beans. Best beans that I have had in Astoria area. My husband had a huge mole steak burrito. He loved it. ”

“ Let's start with what was great... there were 4 of us. We each ordered a different dish. I ordered carnitas plate. It was delicious. The other 3 ordered the burrito, the trio plate and the last had a taco plate. Everyone loved their food. The view is also amazing. We sat outside on the deck and watched the sunset. The service was ok. Three of us ordered margaritas. It was the worst margarita I ever had. I ordered a Cadillac and it was syrupy sweet. I didn't taste any tequila. My stepdaughter ordered the double mango. Again, syrupy sweet, no alcohol. The third one was double strawberry. It was very strong and less sweet. I would definitely go back but I wouldn't order a margarita. ”

“ The ambiance is great, we sat on the patio with a view of the water at sunset. Service was very friendly and fast. I had a watermelon margarita and chicken tamales. The tamales were authentic and fresh and the margarita was tasty and strong. We will be back for sure soon! ”

“ We were visiting Astoria, OR and asked a local bartender what the best Mexican restaurant in town was. And she referred us La Cabana de Raya. It's not right in the heart of town, but only a 2-mile drive. Wow, the food was amazing, probably the best I've had. I had the Guisado de Cameron, that was made with peppers, onions, bacon, shrimp in a chipotle sauce, served with beans and rice, and homemade corn tortillas. They were so delicious and soft; I was like I was eating flour tortillas. Parking is a little challenging, so I suggest you go in off times. The outdoor seating looked really nice but was a little too cold that day for us to sit outside. The margaritas were generous and yummy. My husband had the same dish but with steak and he loved it. The steak was very tender. ”

“ Not much I can add here that other reviews haven't. I tried making my own birria a few times; mine is good, but theirs is LOTS better. Birria tacos for the win! I LOVE the 3 shrimp tacos - soft, home made corn tortillas, fresh veggies and lots of shrimp. Gimme that habanero sauce! mmmm. I dont drink but my wife ordered a margarita, and let the server talk her into a double. She said it was incredibly strong. Been here several times now, inside, outside on the large patio with wind blocking plexiglass (thank you!). Beautiful views of Youngs River and the bridges. Fabulous fun mexican decorations, great service, the BEST homemade mexican food you'll find on the coast, this is now a regular outing for us as its 5 minutes from our house. Steady stream of take out lets you know how popular this place is. ”

“ Excellent little hole in the wall. The best guacamole in the area, hands down. The service is always friendly, the food is authentically superb, and the view is lovely. My photos are not the best cause I kept forgetting to take them cause I was so excited to eat! I got three tacos, one shrimp (excellent!), one chicken (delish!), and one birria, altho it wasn't fried, and I thought birria tacos are fried (it was still sublime). My husband got two steak empanadas that came with beans, rice and salad. All of it was soooooo good. Don't miss out on this little gem of a place. If I had more than two thumbs, they'd all be pointing up. ”

“ This place is alright -- prices were very reasonable and the dishes were fine (I ordered the chilaquiles). It felt like an average run of the mill Mexican restaurant, however I'm docking a star for the service. After the waiter gave us our food, we were essentially ignored ... didn't even get the bill. We had empty glasses for throughout lunch and had to waive the waiter over to get refills. You do get a nice waterfront view and this place is on the quieter side of Astoria so it's a good place to with the family if you want to get away from the busier parts of the area and still want a view of the ocean. Aside from that the dishes were good! No complaints, but woulda been great if they provided free chips and salsa to start. ”

“ Absolutely top-notch Mexican food with tons of vegan options. We showed up for dinner on a Wed evening, having read that they can do most of their dishes vegan. So I ordered their Mole ($15), which comes with soyrizo, potatoes, and bell peppers in an absolutely delectably rich mole sauce, accompanied by rice and refried beans. My wife for the Basico ($15), which came with impeccably seasoned soyrizo and potatoes, a basic salad, rice and refried beans. We also got a refried bean dip and tortilla chips to start, which just turned out to be their refried beans served with tortillas -- I'd skip this next time. Each main dish came with some hot corn tortillas as well. The main dishes were amazing. The mole sauce was just so rich and complexly flavoured. Top-notch stuff. The place was short-staffed -- only 1 server. But everything came out fast regardless. Highly, highly recommended. ”
