If you're celebrating, Merry Christmas AB (hope that's not weird)! I myself am about to with my family, so have some time for this GA review.  Gerald WL  16:33, 25 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Merry Christmas! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:50, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Lead and infobox

 * "La Bonita: Food for the People"-- Is this the actual complete name, and with colons? If so, I'd like to have it mentioned in the Description section and cited. For me, 'food for the people' sounds like a slogan than a complete name, judging from the logo.
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:55, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The restaurant's website, Google Maps, and some sources actually use "Food for the People" as part of the name. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:32, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "in Portland, Oregon"-- think you should add ", the United States" per your other resto GAs. Also applies to Description paragraph 1, sentence 1.
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:55, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "of the nation's best burritos"-- I think it should be "country". Oxford says that country is a specific kind of nation with a governing institution. Also applies to Reception paragraph 1, penultimate sentence.

 * Infobox looks good (except for caption, see Others point 1)

Description - history

 * "operates via fast counter service"-- as in a fast food restaurant? If so then it must be linked, and it must also be categorized as such at the lead, and infobox if appropriate.
 * To me, counter service does not necessarily mean fast food. I would only add "fast food" descriptors if sources specifically described the restaurant as such. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:04, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "also offered delivery service, as of May 2020"-- weird comma, at least for me.
 * There's often a comma before "as of XXX", and this is how I use the phrase in all of my GAs. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:10, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Overall looks fine. These two sections seems relatively short for a stereotypical GA (this entire article having 733 words), but hey-- 2005 Azores subtropical storm has 669 words and is FA, so I'll give it a pass. Although an expansion on the History would be great, such as the opening date of the first resto-- but for now it's fine.
 * Agreed, but so far I've struggled to find when the original restaurant opened. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:04, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * , I see in the reception section that the restaurant has opened as early as 2008, so I guess it can be noted? Better than nothing IMHO, although I understand if it's not appropriate.  Gerald WL  17:13, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I've seen sourcing about the restaurant dating back to 2001, but they don't say what year the restaurant opened. I'd rather not use a vague statement like "as early as" or similar until more details can be confirmed. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:25, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Reception

 * After "writing", there's either a comma or colon, must be consistent.
 * Commas. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:10, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "Mom-and-Pop" --> "[m]om-and-[p]op", since the word is in low caps.
 * I don't see harm in keeping the quote as published, especially since "[m]om-and-[p]op" looks awkward. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:10, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Yyyeahh I can see that now. Just a little thing that momentarily bothered my autism, but looking back the square brackets bothered me more.  Gerald WL  17:15, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * OK thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:27, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the blockquote can easily be paraphrased: "She wrote that despite its prices being in the relatively cheap, $3-8 range, the quality of the menu is still good, and praised the extensive vegetarian burrito menu for being vegan-friendly, thus agreeing with its slogan "Food for the people"."
 * "white faces"-- link white people.
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:05, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "brown"-- link Brown (racial classification).
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:05, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Link taqueria.
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:01, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "This little taqueria" --> "[It]", since it's repetitive.
 * I actually think "little taqueria" is helpful and not harmful. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:28, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Link al pastor.
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:01, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Others

 * Image caption 1 says "in 2021", while image caption 1 says "2019" following a comma. To be consistent, I suggest using brackets instead; so "(pictured 2021)" and "(pictured 2019)".
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:58, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Citations are reliable and look good, although I'd note that no. 1 (Oregonian) has ISSN whilst other Oregonian citations don't have them. Eater Portland and Thrillist citations following no. 3 has no publisher. Link Avalon Publishing.
 * I've linked Avalon Publishing, but publishers should only be added to citations the first time. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:00, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily "should"-- it's a preferential thing-- but I respect the preference, reason why I "noted" instead of instructed :)  Gerald WL  17:17, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah!, you're right per MOS:REPEATLINK, but I usually don't see citations repeating publishers. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:27, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * , you'll see a lot in my works-- Ave Maryam, Plandemic, and To Fly! to name a few. Oh and also, I am currently having a BBQ with family so I won't be able to edit for a few hours but I will make final checks soon and make this GA.  Gerald WL  17:41, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Exlinks look fine.
 * --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:00, 25 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Apologies for the 3 hour wait! I've done additional checks and added maintenance templates, but overall I think this looks like the fine GA!  Gerald  WL  20:24, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
