Do you think it will survive the curse of the location? I don't understand how they make enough money seeing that they close at 2pm. I understand breakfast and brunch restaurants close early, but it just seems like the rent on that building must be really high.

A lot of people don’t wanna go farther north.

They had signs up saying they were going to be open in the evenings a few nights a week as a taqueria, but their website doesn't mention it at all.

Was that during Covid? At some point they put up a bed sheet with "Now Open" spray-painted on it. And it took a few days to complete that sentence- it just said "Now" for a few days. That's pretty much why I haven't even gone in. I checked their google ratings after opening this post, and they've got a lot of positive comments. It couldn't be in a more convenient location, so I might check it out.

It was a couple of months ago. I'll make a point to walk by it soon and take another look. They had professionally made banners that said Taqueria opening soon for dinner or something like that.

There are no signs of their Taqueria aspirations. It must not have worked out. Their yelp listing still has it in their name, though.

I imagine I’d just go to El Jaguar if I wanted Mexican fare. The El Jaguar spot has been another property that hasn’t really popped since Jamie’s Burgers was banging in the early 90’s. I really miss the Cajun burgers and the crispy (McDonald’s or shoestring style) Cajun fries from Jamie’s.

As I mentioned, I’d like to see a housing tower go here with ground floor businesses like the building that hosts Provisions down the street. I’m sure the units would be super expensive, rented or sold, but any housing is good housing. Any business that moves in and can afford the rent would be a serious player. I look forward to that.

In my opinion It's not really that good. The service is great, but the breakfast food is kind of sloppy. And it's somewhat expensive for what I got. When they first opened, it was really good, but the quality has gone way downhill. Just my opinion, and I haven't been in over a year.

Well, there goes that. My 80 year-old father lives off of Dillard Access Rd., so we sometimes meet at the Provisions cafe in the Amazon area. I wouldn't want him to go to a place that isn't that great. Price isn't an issue, the key thing would be high quality ingredients.

100% agree. I live off of Fox Hollow. Provisions is a much better choice, IMO. I also champion Glenwood on Willamette. Consistently good.
