Message from the Business
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.

on Citysearch May 11, 2009We 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. (more)

on Citysearch May 08, 2009It'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... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 03, 2008Not 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.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 24, 2008Ooba'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.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 06, 2008If 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... (more)

on Citysearch May 11, 2008The 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... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 19, 2008Everyone 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... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 08, 2008Ooba's is the best thing to have happened to the Pacific Northwest Mexican cuisine scene. Not to miss--chunky guac, salmon tacos, chicken enchiladas, and whatever the special is of the day. Yeah, you can get a... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 04, 2008Ooba's is a very unique place, I'll give it that but when it comes down to it it's not all that great. The food isn't any different than other mexican places, the presentation is just a little different. Their prices... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 18, 2007I have been a customer of Ooba's since its inception in 1997. I fondly remember chatting with Craig and Mark after going for a run along the slough and then walking in for a side of chicen and beans. My wfie and I loved it so... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 10, 2007I've been a frequent (3-4 times a week) diner here since '98 and I still LOVE this place!!! You can't beat the grilled skirt steak for quesadillas and burritos but the scallops are a nice change too. The chips are always... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 24, 2006The food at Ooba's is quite good. The margaritas, on the other hand, are not so good. Stick to their burritos, quesadillas, and other tasty fare and you should be safe. I recommend the dishes with skirt steak.... (more)
binman69
on Citysearch Nov 01, 2006i love the fajita burrito...they always have fresh salsa and 3 choices of it. i have found the food to be a few dollars more, but it is always fresher than other places. a huge step up from taco time...... (more)

on Citysearch May 23, 2006Born and raised in Mexico City I will never call Burritos Mexican food. That said, I will go with the flow but still have to call out that these are plain bad. Also, please stop putting a lime in my beer...... (more)

on Citysearch May 17, 2006This is definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants in this region. The food has consistently been wonderful. It is not formal eating nor is it fancy, so don't expect waiters pouring your wine or anything!... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 01, 2006Looking 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... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 09, 2006I have eaten many times at all three Ooba's (including their new Bellevue location) and I am always amazed how how consistently great the food is. While I have tried most of the menu, my favorite is their huge burritos,... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 03, 2006I came with a group of 15 and the Manager ( Matt ) was awsome!! For a "order at the counter" style place, Oobas proved better than most full service places. I ordered the Scallop Burrito and it was Perfect. They use fresh... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 28, 2005What a find! I can't wait to tell all of my friends that I have finally found great Mexican in Seattle. I am from San Francisco and know about good tacquerias and this one makes my list. My husband loves how easy and casual... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 13, 2005This place opened up (a branch) in Bellevue. It was so close to work I thought I'd try it. Both times were horrible and I ended up throwing the food away. I had the scallop burrito and it was extremely fishy tasting and too... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 05, 2005I went here after reading good reviews and was so disappointed to find it average at best. Since we spent $18 for 2 plates and no drinks (considering it's a casual restaurant like taco del mar it's pricey in comparison)... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 18, 2005The 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... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 15, 2004I don't say this about too many places you can go for fast food. This place is fantastic! The flavor of the food is incredible. Also, there is no other place I want to eat at every week. There is nothing that is not great... (more)

on Citysearch May 22, 2004We liked this place so much we rented it out for a dinner with friends and relatives. The food is not your typical Mexican. Mint rice and fresh black beans accompany dishes. Skirt steak is actual meat instead of the... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 05, 2003Great place. Some of my favorites are the yukon gold or skirt steak quesadillas both are stuffed with jack cheese. The grill plates are great - their meat rubs are so flavorful, it's kind of shocking. :) Their corn... (more)
