Activities

Restaurants

• Taco Grill, 3330 Center St, Suite 100, Salem, OR: Sergio and his wife serve up amazingly fresh homemade and handmade Mexican food!  Their tortillas and sopes are to die for! Near the intersection of Hawthorne and Center.
• Mo's, 860 SW 51st Street, Lincoln City, OR: 5 different locations of tasty, but well-priced seafood on the coast.  My favorite one is in Lincoln City overlooking Siletz Bay and the ocean.  Clam chowder to die for!
