Visit Washington: Burgerville

Burgerville, a PNW chain, was one of the few fast food restaurants not found in Hawaii that were still open after landing at PDX, so Burgerville it was.

Best Coast Crispy Chicken Sandwich

The Best Coast Crispy Chicken Sandwich was basic, but it was good enough. I did think it was a small sandwich for the price paid in comparison to other fast food spots.

Northwest Cheeseburger

My friend had the Northwest Cheeseburger, which came with Tillamook Cheddar. He too said his sandwich was basic and thought it would be bigger.

Classic Fries

We got Classic Fries and got upsold with Fried Green Beans, which I loved!  They also sell a variety of dips and spreads for you to dip your fries in or spread on your sandwiches.  

Fried Green Beans

Although Burgerville was nothing extraordinary in my opinion, it was still good and overall satisfying after a day of traveling.

Visit Washington: Muchas Gracias Mexican Food

There is not much open late or early in Vancouver, WA when it comes to fast food, but Muchas Gracias Mexican Food is a fast food chain in the Pacific Northwest that opens early and closes late.  The one we went to is open 24 hours, and we picked up food to eat at the airport before our morning flight.

The Mexi-Fries were basically tater tots with sour cream and cheese. I love tots so I loved these.

Mexi-Fries

I had the Bacon Breakfast Burrito, which I didn't really care for. It was enormous and stuffed with eggs, potatoes, and bacon, but the potatoes were undercooked and underseasoned.

Bacon Breakfast Burrito

My friend had the Carnitas Plate, which he thought was good for a Mexican fast food joint. 

It was a huge plate with refried beans, salsa, guacamole, Mexican rice, lettuce, pico de gallo, and corn tortillas (not pictured).
