    Plaza Quesadilla
    Dakota H.

    Amazing food the quesadilla was phenomenal the hot sauce it came with actually had a kick which surprised me but was a pleasant surprise. The staff were super kind made sure we had drinks and checked in regularly. Was super chill and relaxed just an amazing place to get great food at a great price and just hang out.

    Enchilada Special with real Mexican cheese, not cheddar or Monterrey Jack

    Very good prompt service, very clean, very tasty food, super attractive atmosphere. Draw backs can't make reservations and parking is very tight (Fantastic, for it seems to keep away the unwanted extremes). I will return with and without my dining group.

    Our meals

    Ordered a burrito, quesadilla, chips & salsa, queso, & guacamole to go. We got the food at home and there was no salsa, which was a bummer since it was not included in our meal and was extra. (13.99 for chips, salsa, & queso). Food was just alright this time. Hope we can eat in next time since you pay extra for chips and salsa if not.

    -Payed $14.25 for a carne asada burrito with extra protein, -I received a vegetarian burrito -No refund :( -burrito boy is a block away I would recommend that instead

    Bean and cheese burrito on a 10 nice tortilla.
    Doug M.

    Sometimes you just crave a simple bean and cheese burrito...or at least I do! I have heard for a long time how good Chula's is so I thought I would give it a go for the old standby bean and cheese. It did not disappoint. Refried beans we're flavorful and of good consistency...cheese was spot on and the pressed tortilla was tasty. Well done Chula....I will be back!

    Burrito Bowl
    Mel A.

    A love letter to Chulas: Thank you for getting me through the hardest of times, the best of times, and most importantly, for having the best beans and rice in Eugene. Now that I have graduated college and am moving away from Eugene, I do not know how I will make it through Wednesdays without having a Frozen Guava Margarita. My go to was the carnitas burrito bowl which was always filling and amazing with cantina salsa. Till we meet again!

    Oh my!!! Sssooooo yummmmmy! Best salsa ever! The food is spectacular, the service and ambience is great too! It is also really close to my Med Spa so I get to eat it often?!

    Shredded beef enchiladas
    Sterling P.

    Extremely hot day in Eugene, but we managed to find this restaurant which was close to our motel. Pretty excited to what was to come when I saw the parking lot full. We both ordered enchiladas with shredded beef and mole sauce. The dinners came with the usual rice and beans and both were well prepared. The enchiladas were full of shredded meat with no fat or gristle ! The sauce was some of the best we've ever had, chocolaty and with just the right of spice. Our drinks were also excellent! Horchata, for me and a well made Margarita for her! Service was for the most part efficient even though 3 people brought us different things including the the check. We ate in the bar so not really sure about the ambiance. That said there was music and it wasn't too loud so we were able to have a conversation! I would go back and try some of their other menu offerings.

    chips and salsa were great, virgin pina colada was great and so sweet. i regret getting the burrito, not because it was bad but because i really wanted a side of beans and rice, i don't know if that makes sense. but the ambiance was great, very cute decor, friendly staff as well. will be back!

    Strawberry margarita (blended) + strawberry pina colada
    Eidan H.

    I'm so happy I found this place! Chula's is the perfect spot if you're looking for casual dining with great food and drinks. I typically order the steak fajitas which are super tender and flavorful. Their blended margaritas and chips+salsa (seriously so good) have us hooked and wanting to come back for more!

    SkyBar - Bbq chicken flatbread (86'd BBQ, sub'd ranch)

    SkyBar

    We have some relatives coming in June for our son's Graduation. In need of a place for them to…read morestay, we thought we'd check out Hyatt Place Eugene and their SkyBar in particular. The Skybar is located on the 5th floor of the building along with the Hotel lobby... uh okay. The staff are all very pleasant and accommodating. We went to the SkyBar and found it to be a smallish yet convenient place to wait for guests or visitors along with getting a drink or a bite to eat. The bar looks like it can accommodate about 30 people in the interior. There is a nice outdoor patio that can easily accommodate more when the weather is nice. The barkeeper was very attentive and observant, he took our food and drink requests at the bar and in short order, everything was presented. I had a Moscow Mule that I found to be a refreshing drink. Ginger beer, lime and vodka. An excellent combination. I also had an order of the chicken wings and fries. The fries were a normal shoestring variety, cooked well, nicely salted and came in a metal bowl. The wings I found to be outstanding! I don't usually get wings this well made unless I do it myself. I received 8 wings coated with barbecue sauce on a charcuterie board with the fries. The wings were served nicely hot. The meat was piping hot, juicy and tender. The barbecue coating was a hearty middle of the road sauce, not sweet or too smoky. It was caramelized perfectly for that sticky texture and flavor. Definitely a nice coating. Thankfully the bartender brought us a lot of napkins. The wings and fries made for a satisfying meal. The bar boasts a couple of gas fireplaces that make for a warming environment with a few semi private tables. There is a longer table for a larger group as well as several smaller tables and a few bar stools for game watching. All in all we found the bar to be a cozy semi-private environment, yet available to the guests as they come and go. All around, a nice meeting area and watering hole. We will book our family members for a stay here at the hotel. I'm looking forward to trying more of their specialty drinks.

With that meal you will experience actual satisfaction and contentment. That's the first thing I have to say in case you're reading for a recommendation of what to order. Even better if you have it late night after experiencing the best Handel's Messiah concert at the Hult in December. I had a small slider of corned beef along with his amazing fresh Kale salad garnish with shaved Parmesan, walnuts, added protein -- sausage. It came with a toasted slice of soda bread that was great. But the slider was how I realized the corned beef was PERFECTLY prepared. A taste was not enough; I decided to get the dinner plate version to take the next day up to Seattle with me. Fantastic staff included Barkeep Illyia, whose birthday it was. She kept up a steady stream of attentive care, skillful service, friendly banter with each of the clients that came in and said good by to them as they left. Hospitality was her middle name. Love that they have mugs for the regulars hanging from the ceilings, the bar space is great but so are the arm chairs and cushioned seats in the corners of the pub. I even ran into two other concertgoers who had also been so energized after the Messiah concert that they didn't want to go home. We spent a half hour at the bar unpacking the highs and best points of the performance by the Eugene Symphony Orchestra, and the symphony choir, and each of the soloists. We also unanimously agreed the tenor was fantastic, the baritone a paragon of artistic talent, the soprano sang incandescently, and that the final AMEN movement was soul healing and mind blowing simultaneously. Yeah. It was that good. This place was the right place to come to unpack it all over a Guinness and the best corned beef and cabbage in town. Love that it was open late enough to enjoy after the concert. Will be back.

It was thick slab corned beef, perfectly tender. I also got their pretzel with the beer cheese sauce. To be honest, the beer cheese wasn't my favorite...was a little gooopy and the texture wasn't great. But, the pretzel was fantastic. It has the salt, the chew, and it was a great size. I also got their colcannon. It was great! Creamy and delicious. I ordered their brown gravy too because I like gravy with my potatoes and it was hearty and a big side for the price. All in all, i definitely recommend the pint pot!

The profile looked pretty cool so we decided to go there for a drink. Once inside, it was pretty dark which is typical for a Tiki Bar. The decor was very good and there was a lot of it around. My fave was the mermaid skeleton above our seats. The drinks options were plentiful and they even had jello shots for a bargain price (we had a few of these for good measure!). I had The Monkey's Paw classic drink and another in our party had The Invisible Man drink. Each was lovingly prepared by the bartender who was super cool with the prep and conversations we had with him. I loved walking around and looking at all the decor on the walls and ceiling. There's a lot to see. There's even a door that leads to a courtyard with several food trucks ready to serve you. There is a stage near the entrance for bands and a small dance floor. I would love to return one evening to check out the atmosphere and do a little boogeying! Give this place a try. It's a well done Tiki Bar and one of the better ones I've been to.
