We've been to El Tapatio multiple times now, and every single visit has been consistently amazing…read more We actually drive about 30 minutes from Eugene to come here, and it's 100% worth it every time. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and some of the best Mexican food around. We've tried a variety of dishes and honestly haven't had a single miss. What really sets this place apart is the service. Adrian is hands down one of the best servers we've had anywhere. He's attentive, personable, and makes the entire experience feel effortless. You can tell he genuinely cares, and it shows. The entire staff is welcoming, friendly, and on top of everything. It's one of those places you don't just go to, you look forward to coming back. Highly recommend. We'll absolutely keep making the drive.

We were driving back from picking up a few things when I saw the Taco Truck. It's Taco Tuesday so…read morefigured I had to stop and try it. Tacos el Paisa means tacos from the home country. There is a menu on the side of the truck but the prices had worn off some of the items. Street Tacos were $3.50 so we got one chicken and one pastor to try them. My husband got the chicken with just a bit of onion and I got todos-everything on it. The tacos were really good. The chicken was tender and tasty and the pastor had a hint of spice and pineapple in it. Not quite like a trompo with rotating spit of al pastor meat and a pineapple skewered on the top but it was really good. They gave you the 2 corn tortillas so I split mine and still had enough meat for a 3rd. I was full with just the one. I was surprised the tacos were as good as they were. The menu had much more than a normal food truck would have. They had Caldo de Pollo o Res (chicken or beef soup with vegetables) which is one of my favorite things and, even, Bistec Ranchero. The food and service was very good. There is no seating and the prices for some of the items were higher than I expected for a food truck. But if everything is as good as the tacos were, I'd be back!

Good service, atmosphere was pleasant. Most of all the burrito was huge and tasted great! Thank you.read more

It took me awhile to narrow down my order - - I couldn't, so I went with a delicious, and filling, chicken enchilada tostada combo. Yes, I cleared my plate. By the end of the meal, I was ready for a nap. Service was super helpful and friendly. Bathroom near the front of the restaurant. Street parking right out front. We will definitely be back.

There was one elderly woman working. She didn't smile and acted like she didn't want us there. We were a party of 3.

We asked for more salsa and chips and received more salsa (1/4 cup), no chips. Also, no beans or rice with the meal. She said they were out. You should pass this restaurant bye-bye.

Sometimes I just like a simple dish and I requested a small bean burrito with cheese and red enchilada sauce on top. I also ordered some taquitos to try.

The interior is simple but clean and the tables and chairs are standard but comfortable. I will definitely be back to try some of their other menu items!

The food here was really good, and the service was excellent. I'm not sure if the woman who serviced us was the owner or not, but regardless she was super kind. Prices very affordable for the portion size, the quality and the flavor overall. If you dine in you get complimentary chips and salsa unlike at other places, so it's very appreciated!
