El Kiosco - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I'm kind of uncomfortable eating at El Kiosco. There is lots of dust and dead plants in the windows. Makes me wonder how clean the kitchen is. read more

Food was delicious, service was super quick. And the staff was super nice. All the meals were delicious that we had and the salsa was amazing. read more

Food wasn't that great. Food wasn't even hot. Lady charged my card then told me it wasn't paid. I pulled up my bank and it was taken out. She asked to take a picture and show her manager because she said it doesn't show up on her report. She asked how do I plan on paying.. yet again I showed my bank statement it had already came out. Then charged my card another 29 after I left. I will never go back there. read more

We were pleasantly surprised. Chips and salsa were good. Chicken was good. Fast and courteous service. Nothing to complain about.

Ordered Mexican pizza , menu says 7.99. Charged 17.48?? WTH. Asked server, she said that's the price. Won't be back I can get 2 full meals and drinks at Baja Fresh for this same price. Guess I won't be supporting local businesses when they pull this crap. read more

Had a really bad dinner service tonight. Upon arriving we walked in to dinning room and had to wait almost 10 mins for the waitress to notice we were there. Shouldn't have been hard due to the fact there was only 1 other table occupied. We were seated by the swinging door to the bar. We ordered dinner, waited way to long for waitress to bring us some water. The food arrived almost cold enchiladas shouldn't be cold anyways the conversation in the bar that the waitress was in such a hurry to get back to centered on 2 trans females that are regular customers there and how the 3 or 4 other patrons there tonight claim they were told about the lady's transformations and how very crudely the males there wanted to be towards and with them. The conversation was appoling and disgusting these are customers and they think the wait staff are real friends. They share out loud the trans customers phone info and the hole time are just laughing and having a great time while myself and my companion sat in the dinning room in non belief. I advised the waitress how in bad taste there conversation was and told her I will never step foot back in there. I highly suggest not going to such a miserable place read more

Great food and happy employees! Everyone we interacted with was very friendly! The food was quickly made and exactly as ordered (we changed up the dishes and added some things). Nothing was greasy or overdone or sloppy! Very well made and a great dining experience overall. We certainly will be back when we are in town-glad we found this place. read more

We ordered to go. The food was luke warm ( we live 2 blocks away and came tight home). They forgot one drink so I had to go back. The food was ok. Really no great shakes. I can't say I would go back again. read more

This place was one of the worst Mexican restaurants I have tried alot I'm from San Diego. First of all I was warned after the fact to just go for the margaritas. Which maybe if we ordered drinks it would of tasted better. It is also very dark in there so you can't see what your eating which is probably a good thing. I ordered a tamale plate and my husband a Chorizo dish when I told them the food was cold the waitress started yelling to the lady at the register in Spanish. News flash alot of people know a second language. Needless to say the best thing there was the ice water. read more

Invited by friends. Several fair to goodMexican restaurants in area. This is not one if them. Chile rellenos, enchilada meal very dry and tasteless. Waitress difficult to find for service. WARM Corona. Rather expensive, too. Ordered shredded beef and got hamburger in enchilada instead. Nothing there to go back for. Go down the street to Don Juans. read more

Santa Clara has a tucked away hidden gem. We've been customers since we moved to Santa Clara in 1995, I don't know how this place stays under the radar. Their food is delicious and their service is excellent! Daily specials and their full service bar and desserts omg! Come check them out, they'll treat you like family! read more

El Kiosco - Their Fried ice cream w/Baileys Cream is to die for - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Nice food and decent service. Not pricey as well. Had chicken fajitas and Quesadillas. Liked both items. Chicken was juicy and tasty. read more

I live nearby and am always on the look out for delicious Mexican food. El Kiosco did not deliver. The food lacked flavor, and what little taste you could gather, was something I would expect from a child's first attempt at cooking. The fajitas were 90% vegetables and the seasoning appeared to be throw on top as a garnish. I couldn't even make it halfway through the Chile Relleno burrito without dosing it with salsa and hot sauce. I'm not generally one for negative reviews but my hope is to help others teetering, avoid spending money on such lackluster food and slow service. read more

Found this little gem around the corner from the Defy trampoline center. Had the Trio combo Fajitas & Chicken Fajitas. Both were excellent.

Average Mexican food at best. Asked for spicy salsa and it wasn't. Asked for extra spicy camarones a la diablo and that dish did not come back with any heat as well. Waitress was fairly attentive but expected more as we were the only folks in there. read more

Glad to find a Mexican restaurant that has chicken tacos with a crisp shell and shredded chicken that has been seasoned! Finally! Same with their chicken tamales! I'm from Southern California where they know how to make good Mexican - not an easy find here! I had a trio combo; the chicken taco, chicken tamale and substituted the beef enchilada for a cheese. I really enjoyed the taco and tamale but felt the enchilada lacked in sauce. Overall, the food and service was good enough that I'll return, but not enough for a 5-star rating. read more

Okay, not the best Mexican food in Eugene, but not bad either. Friendly service. Good for families. The shredded beef enchiladas are good, chicken tamales were lacking flavor. And I was disappointed with the Pina Colada. Good and unlimited chips and salsa, so that's good. Anyone know where the best Mexican food is in Eugene? read more

We came here for my son's birthday around opening time. Only three of us in the restaurant at the time, one waitress, extremely slow to bring anything to our table. Took fifteen minutes to bring us our water and chips. The cheese was not melted on my enchilada, and all of our food was cold. The waitress never came back during our visit for anything. We paid at the register and left. read more

Despite the low rating overall, the recent reviews were good. Me and the wife went out for a quick date night and were pleasantly surprised. Excellent food, great drinks and great service. We will definitely be coming back! read more

We came here for Cinco de Mayo, and weren't disappointed. We had two of the specials and they were delightful, the staff was attentive and friendly, especially Libby. It's too bad that we live out of town, because we would come here more! Thank you for a great celebration of Cinco de Mayo! read more

Well, was hungry and didnt want fast food. The place was empty about 2pm. Server was friendly and polite. Got my soda and chips right away. Ordered the shredded beef taco salad. It tasted good but had about 2 ounces of shredded beef in it. The taco bowl shell it was served in was the smallest i have ever seen. The small salads at fast food mexi restaurants are bigger. After leaving, that gurgling started in my stomach....uh oh. read more

My ex girlfriend turned me on to this place and I can't find better Mexican food in Eugene. Owner operated which I love. Owner has a great personality. I recommend the fajita burrito. read more

I love this place precisely because it is not very spicy. If you have a need for some extreme spice in your Mexican food, this is not the place. Good portions, good drinks (as has been outlined here numerous times). However the wait times are horrific. Everytime I have been here we have to wait at least 30 min for our food after ordering. While this is a good place, I would suggest going with people you really want to have some time to chat with. I would not try and come here if you need anything quickly. read more

Would not recommend this place! I unfortunately left my wallet here over night, at closing time with close to $100 in cash. When I went to get it the next day, the cash was gone! I honestly couldn't believe it. My partner and I watched video with the owner just to see if the one and only other customer in the restaurant had taken it. No.. it was clear it was seen by our waitress as soon as we left... the video also shows our waitress pick up a black object off of the seat, where I was sitting, then disappearing from the camera for about 30 seconds. The owner wasn't rude but just couldn't admit that it was one of her employees, saying that you never actually see her taking the money.. Either way, the foods not that great and I will definitely not be back! read more

The food is your typical Eugene Mexican food; bland and not authentic. I ordered the beef taquito and chicken enchilada combo plate. The rice tasted like Rice-a-Roni and the enchilada sauce reminded me of Old El Paso sauce out of a can. It was so salty! Neither my chicken or beef had any flavor. I've made tastier, more authentic Mexican food at home! I definitely will not be coming back! read more

Waitress a little lackluster, food good, larger portions.. we usually take home some for another meal. The new complimentary dessert is very good, and got the extra star. My recommendation: The Mazatlan, it has guacamole included. One of the best Mexican (if not the best) restaurants in Eugene. read more

Best Mexican food in town. I've been coming here since I was 6 years old-back then they called it La Fiesta. The enchiladas in particular are very good. Really though, all the food is good, it's very well done and it's easily the most authentic Mexican food you can get around here since Moreno's closed. Service has always been friendly in the 19 years I've gone there. The waitresses are very prompt and I've never had to wait longer than 20 minutes from the time I've sat down, to getting my drinks, ordering, and getting my food. Also, very reasonably priced. Absolutely love this place. read more

I had the lunch special two chimichangas with rice and beans..but..when she took my order it was one chimichanga with rice and beans or two chimichangas..they were small.and grilled not fried,,I had a margarita..it tasted bad and was not blended well..The place was empty except for me..i see why.. read more

I wanted to like you so bad. Growing up in Santa Clara we would go here from time to time. Always thought it was good. Placed a Togo order tonight only to find out that they didn't include my rice and beans with my burritos. Bummed. They did seem a little short staffed. Maybe I hit them on an off night. Will most likely try this place again just because I loved it growing up read more

This is the first time I've ever had bland Mexican food! It was very dry and tasteless. Only redeeming factor here was the chips and salsa, of which apparently you only get one serving. The service was abysmal. To finish it all off the air conditioner (in August) was out. I wish I would have turned around and walked out and gone to the Korean BBQ. Next door. I don't know how they are, but they certainly couldn't have been worse! read more

Worst Food I have Ever Had. Food tasted old, cold, flavorless !!!! Disgusting I can't believe this place is still in business??? Poor service ... Plus it was really dark in there. I think the best thing about the meal was leaving. I told the waitress the food was terrible, and she gave me a coupon for next time???? Why would anyone come back ?? read more

This is a nice Mexican restaurant in North Eugene with a good selection on the menu and everything thing I've had there has always been great. Been there many times and will go back many more. read more

Overall so happy to find this place! Quick and friendly service as well as convenient location. They make awesome green chile sauce (rare in the northwest) and the guac is outstanding. I made a special order and it was perfect. read more

2013 - Three is the charm - NOT. This Had been our favorite Mexican food place in Eugene. But something was different the last 3 times - Here is a summery : 1 visit - Wow, what happen to the service. But hey look how nice it is here now that they redecorated........ 2 nd visit - "It's been 35 minutes since our order. Can you see what happened cause those people came in 15 min after us and are already eating ". "I'll go check????.......Oh your order is the next one !" We walked out after 45 min. 3 rd and final visit - Lunch this time - " Hello. Hello is there anyone here?" My friend goes searching - "Hello. Is there anyone here?" OK I'm ready to leave. "Hi ", finally someone, " Table for one? " No two. My friend is in the back looking for somebody" Boy service is poor. Had lunch. Food has really gone to Cxxp. Bottom line, this place had a face lift - a plus - but it was sold and the sister place is Terrys Diner off River Road. This WAS a nice reasonably priced, decent food, decent service place to call your own. PASS for now till they get this figured out. Even the strawberry lemonade was off - Lame read more

Went here for lunch today. Amazing food, great service! I am very picky on the chips and salsa. No complaints here.

My family and I love this place and go here whenever I come back into town. Before college it was a regular friday night dinner spot for us. We love the staff, they are always quick and friendly. Also, it isn't overly crowded. They have great salsa but if you want more heat just ask for the hotter salsa which they make special :) All the food is good and they are always willing to accommodate! read more

Cheap-o but not great margaritas. The food was large portions, but not that great and kind of spendy. Not eager to go back.

I saw this place had a low star rating, so I was a bit hesitant, but really wanted chips and salsa. Came here with my 4 year old twin grandson's and my 19 year old daughter. I'm from the Monterey Bay area and here to visit my daughter. I have to say, I have absolutely no complaints, the kids loved their meal, everyone enjoyed the chips and salsa, my daughter and I loved our meal, try the enchilada del Mar! The service was good and the prices affordable. I would come back! read more

This is our regular Mexican restaurant. Used to be because they had a low-carb menu. Alas, that's more or less gone, but they still carry a few relatively low-carb options. My husband and I share a margarita, but I let him have most of it. Yeah, right. The waitress knows us. We know her. Why haven't we asked her name? Shame on us for several years of eating the food and not getting her name. She must know ours from our debit card. Anyway, I like the place. The fare seems a bit less fat-laden than the average Mexican place, so we'll continue to make it "our" Mexican place. read more
