Restaurant Recommendations between Seattle and San Diego

The food truck scene in Portland is awesome. Entire city block or two in downtown.
 
Several BK's. Nothing compares to the Burger King options!!!! Several BK locations on the way to California. Certain areas with high BK densities. I stopped at Several last time I hit the road baby ah. Several BK'S!!!!!
 
When you get to San Diego.... Mitches Seafood is a must. Right there in the middle of one of the biggest sport fishing fleets in the U.S. Taco Tuesdays, outdoor seating, view of the harbor. While, wearing a tee shirt with board shorts and flip flops, sipping on a cold Corona.
All of a sudden I'm homesick...after a cold, challenging day on the Straight of Juan de Fuco and the San Juan Islands.

Ok, Cali is somewhat covered. What about Oregon ?
Between Wilsonville and Salem:

Wilsonville: Sushi Avenue - basic but fresh and not too pricey
Wilsonville: Elka Bee's - Breakfast and lunch, baked goods, espresso drinks
Woodburn: La Morenita Tortillas (take out only, only downtown location has retail)
Woodburn: Gina's Taqueria (truck/cart on 99 north of Woodburn -- killer quesabirria tacos). El Moreno in the same lot specializes in pollo asado. Thai Woodburn in the same lot is pretty good too.
Woodburn: Los Machetes Cemitas Poblanas or La Casa de Los Machetes for cemitas and machetes.
Woodburn: I haven't been but hear good things about Santa Ana and Casa de Caldos
Gervais: Bauman's Farm Store -- Baked goods, hard cider, and produce are great. Sandwiches are perfectly fine.
Keizer: In-n-Out if you like them and are willing to brave the line. Pro-tip: go weekday off-peak, park and go inside. Order fries "well done"
Keizer: Love Love Teriyaki II - good teriyaki, nothing special.
Salem: Don Froylan Creamery -- they make awesome Mexican cheese and have a restaurant in house that serves great food.
Salem: I haven't been but I've heard Santiam Brewing has excellent fish and chips
Salem: Pietro's or Paddington's Pizza -- try unique and divisive Oregon-style pizza (cracker crust and toppings to the edge). NOT FANCY PIZZA. Bonus points for adding taco sauce at the table.
Salem: Sybil's Omelettes Unlimited: local, old fashioned diner food.

I'm a Quilbilly, and don't get out much, but do follow the food scene. Cemitos Poblanos was recommended to me by a former coworker.
Their menu looks pretty good to me...
