Ooba's Mexican Grill

Message from Ooba's Mexican Grill

  • Healthy, carb-friendly fare
  • Funky restaurant atmosphere
  • Catering and delivery

Ooba's has served high-quality, healthy, carb-friendly, affordable Mexican food in a casual, funky restaurant atmosphere since 1997. From chipotle-rubbed chicken grill plates and fresh fish tacos with homemade creme sauce to hand-mixed margaritas and mohitos, all of our items are made fresh to order. If you sit at the bar, you can even hear the meat and fish sizzling right on the grill. Our menu isn't from a specific state or region in Mexico, it is an eclectic mix of food we've carefully chosen over the years that our customers love. You can be assured that every item on the "special" menu has passed the "would we order it again" test. We have something for everyone - vegetarian entrees like wilted spinach quesadillas, low-carb plates, and even special meals for kids.

Fast, Good, Authentic Mexican Food  5 Star Rating - World class

By S. J.

Not fancy and not very americanized. Simple, good Mexican food. Love the grill plates & burritos. Prices are about what you would expect at a place like this on the Eastside - not super cheap, but not outrageous.

Love it!  5 Star Rating - World class

The great food at Ooba's always amazes me. It doesn't matter if I get a burrito, or grilled veggies or nachos, they are spot on. Every time I get the scallop burrito the scallops are cooked to perfection and the combination of tastes are to die for...I would recommend this place to everyone!

Cool atmosphere and great food!  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Anthony M.

Looking for something different from the usual 'run of the mill' Mexican restaurant?..then you must try Ooba's in Redmond or Woodinville.
It's casual and super friendly staff are a pleasure to deal with.
The menu has lots of fresh fish meals including my favorite Mahi Mahi Tacos
The menu is short but packed full of fresh ingredients and no re-fried beans in sight!

Authentic food at very affordable prices!  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Kris P. | insider Insider | Rank: 12,597

The food is marvelous and you won't blow your budget. Get there early (for lunch) as you may have to wait in line. There is outdoor seating when the weather is good. They have typical Mexican food but it doesn't taste like everything else you've had - Ooba's is different. The ingredients seem fresher and the food tastes much better than other places.

PROS:
CONS: Can be noisy when crowded

Best Mexican on the eastside 5 Star Rating - World class

By John75

We go to oobas at least 2x month. It is prepared and grilled when you get there. The chipotle sauce is great and it is not an out of state chain.

Pros: Actually Freshly prepared
Cons: none

Poor service & attitude trump decent food... 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By buenamigo24

It's kinda sad a place with so much promise suffers from a almost complete lack of tact in treating customers...
How many times can a place SCREW UP the simplest orders ? when they ALWAYS ask for the same thing ? ?
If a customer asks for NO beans - simple, do NOT put in beans, etc., etc...
How arrogant can they be with senseless remarks insulting a customer's request by comparing it to " Burger King " ?
The prices are far from cheap for what you get - how much extra is it for polite service ??

Pros: tasty food, decent portions
Cons: terrible service, arrogant attitudes

Ooba's give you fresh quality mexican food with each dish having an unexpected twist - like the chicken plate contain string beans grilled for putting in your in your taco. Yum! Give it a try.

Pros: Delicious
Cons: Servings

Excellent grilled meats 5 Star Rating - World class

By bben

If you go here, do yourself a favor and skip the burritos in favor of quesadillas, tacos or one of their specials that showcase the grilled meats and fish better. It's not exactly authentic Mexican food, but it's nothing like the typical Americanized garbage you'll find at chains like Azteca. I'd say it's more like Authentic Mexican with a northwest influence. They also have excellent salsas.

Pros: Great grilled food
Cons: Burritos aren't super great

Best Mexican on the Eastside 5 Star Rating - World class

By TamraBridget

Everyone I bring here loves this place - it's been a safe bet for the office group lunch (including the vegetarian and "weight watchers" co-workers) or dinner out w/your "friends w/picky-eater kids". Highly recommend any entree w/steak, the pork quesadilla and Juans shrimp tacos! Can't beat the chips, salsas and guac (huge, creamy chunks of avacado!)

Pros: Fast!
