Very good fresh mex

by CurtNelson at Citysearch

They use good quality, fresh ingredients and put them together in a very tasty way. The service is quick so it's great for lunch.

• Pros: Food in general, salsas, quick service

Ugh

by nothard2plz at Citysearch

Bellevue Ooba Tooba: overpriced + cheap ingredients = bad dining experience. I figured I would try their grilled vegetable burrito, assuming I would get the typical bell pepper and onion with those vegetarian black beans and minted rice, minimum. Oh no, what I got instead was steamed, NOT grilled, carrots, broccoli, yellow squash, zucchini and mushrooms. Wait a minute, this is a mexican grill, right? Not a teriyaki joint! To say the least it was completely disgusting. I picked out all the stir fry mixed vegetables and ate the beans and rice until I got frustrated and tossed the last half. Yuck. Never again.

Great lunch spot

If you work in downtown Bellevue, do yourself a favor and stop by Ooba's. Their grilled pork burritos are the best. Match it with the tangy green salsa (not the jalapenos) and you're in for a taste sensation.

• Pros: Great food, central location
• Cons: poor parking, best for take out

Disappointed

by tastereview at Citysearch

I really wish I could say something positive, but I was disappointed in their food. I tried it twice - once I got the scallop tacos and they were chewey/rubbery and fishy tasting. The other time I ate there, it wasn't anything special either. Unfortunately being a short distance from my workplace, It's not on my lunch spots to go to anymore.

• Pros: Location great
• Cons: quality poor/poor seating

Grills- yummy!

The grilled chicken is awesome, I especially love the 'Chicken Achiote Tacos'. The creme agria and the minted rice is yummy as well. Love the yukon gold potatoes in a quesadilla.

• Pros: Grilled fare, Fresh taste
• Cons: Slow service but thats cos of the crowds! :)
