Amazing food! We had carne asada tacos and burritos. Very flavorful!!! Huge portions of meat…read more Staff was very kind!

I came here with a friend last week. This place has been here forever, but it's the kind of place…read morewhere if you blink, you miss it. Parking is on the street only. There is no dedicated lot. I wasn't even sure they were open when we stopped by. It took a few minutes to find an employee. Once we did, he was kind and helpful. I ordered four tacos, and I forget what my friend ordered. But it wasn't an expensive lunch. We waited for what seemed like forever for everything to be ready. Walking around outside, the building looks like a shack. I'm not even sure there is running water inside. It has the same siding as the apartments behind it, so I wonder if it's ran by someone who lives there? Or if they cook in their home and bring it there? I have no idea. This seems very similar to Joey's Pizza in that as long as you close your eyes and don't pay attention to where your food is coming from, it'll be great. Food itself was quite tasty and enjoyable. We took ours to-to and went home. Seating is an outdoor table only. Which seems more appropriate just for waiting to get the food than to actually eat it there. Would I return? If I happen to be driving by and they're open, yes. I can't say I'd go out of my way to eat here though. But it was certainly tasty for a tiny little dive.

Food was pretty good, service was decent, and the prices were a little high but the portion sizes…read morewere pretty big.

We went to the little meat market attatched to the restaurant looking to buy some proteins for home…read morecooked tacos. We found some of our favorite snacks at the front and grabbed those on our way to look at the meats. The first red flag, all of the meat was the same dull, brown color. It looked like it had been sitting there for a while and was going bad. The second red flag was that there was no signage for price or what each meat even was. We stood there at the meet counter and noticed some workers talking to each other in the aisle about 10' from us. They said hello and that was all. Didn't ask if we needed help picking or purchasing anything and didn't even seem enthusiastic when saying hello. There was no one else in the store. While they conversed, we started looking at some sauces they had in the aisle behind us. The third red flag, and what ultimately made me put my snacks down and leave was that there was an odd looking jar of Tostino's on the shelf. I was pretty certain of what I was looking at so I urned the jar to check the date, and sure enough, it had expired in January of 2025!! The very front product! Obviously there is no FIFO (first in, first out) in this store. I pointed it out to my partner and we left without purchasing anything. The overall lack of care they had to help customers, as well as gross looking meat and expired product just made me severely unnerved. I recommend going elsewhere for tacos whether you're making them yourself or eating in house.

cute place with lots of space and a nice vibe. indoor and outdoor seating,...booths, tables and…read morebar. colorful and lively any way you slice it. amazing salsa choices, from mild to scorching, depending on your palate. lots of different taco options, for people of all dietary persuasions. i chose a shrimp and a fried tofu for my maiden voyage and was not disappointed with either. the shrimp taco was pretty cold while the tofu wasn't so timing could've been better. friendly staff and cantina plus non alcoholic drink options round out the experience. small parking lot but some nearby on street parking options but that whole neighborhood has walkability so it shouldn't be a problem to access. in short, this place will likely please everyone. you could run in and grab something or stay for a while. i'd assume most people will enjoy it enough to come back for round two. or three. or four.

The most Caucasian tacos I've ever experienced. To compare this to authentic Mexican food wouldn't…read moreeven be in the same ballpark. My wife and I ordered 4-5 tacos in order to get a good breadth of their specialty options (as well as their chips and salsa). Everything needed significant salt due to blandness and muted flavor. It didn't matter what it was. The service was subpar. I witnessed the cashier cajoling casually with the college girls in front of me and when I got my turn, the server went deadpan with minimal tolerance/silence as I gave her my order. The first thing she said to me was my total and nothing else after. When I later interacted with the other front counter employee, she also blankly stared at me when I asked about silverware and then I answered my own question when I saw them at a nearby station. Go to any random chain and that behavior is not tolerated at all. The table we sat down at had food debris from the previous diner and it was clear routine table cleaning was not happening (despite it not even being a rush period). That being said, the atmosphere-style is chill and very standard for Eugene in its eclectic approach. If the food and service were enhanced, it would allow the ambiance to speak better for the overall experience. As a local, after hearing this place be ranted and raved about for over a decade, I'd have to say I'm severely underwhelmed. I'd easily opt to go to something authentic like El Taco Express in Springfield or even a large chain like Chipotle or Baja Fresh before I'd dip my 'buds back into this option. It's clear the Eugene local clientele is keeping this place propped, because no tourist would ever come back around a second time. (P.S. my wife says two stars is too generous.)
