    Just driving through and picked this place out thanks to the images on yelp. We ordered the enchilada plate Christmas style (red and green salsa). The plate came with rice beans and your typical toppings like cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. The food was good, red salsa had a kick. The green salsa needed more spice and the rice and beans could use for salt. We ordered inside and also small, looks like many people would fit to dine in. The service was great the two young men that helped us out were polite and looked like they enjoyed being there. Food came out quickly so we were back on the road in no time.

    Hidden gem in Springfield! They have a huge menu with a vast selection of different dishes. Service was quick and everything was made fresh. We opted to get the carne asada supreme nachos and chilaquiles this time, with a horchata to share. Both were loaded with flavor and portion sizes were generous. I particularly loved the horchata, it wasn't too sweet, but all the flavors came together very nicely! I'll be back to try more of the menu soon!

    We absolutely love this place! Customer service is on point, food is delicious, and affordable. The restaurant is quite small and cozy but bright and clean. They have a drive through if you don't want to sit down and eat.

    The chile relleno plate is my absolute go~to. I usually do the drivethru, but just have to keep in mind there is a little bit of a wait since it is a real meal, not fast food. It is so worth it though.

    El Pique was a great restaurant for a post race meal. As other have said, you can get take out, eat in or go through the drive though. The drive through was busy when we went for lunch. We ate in though! The service was fine. You order at the counter. I got horchata and a chile verde burrito. The horchata was good. The burrito had juicy pork and it was filled well. Overall, a great taqueria visit.

    Yummy!! We got a drink, 3 carne asada street tacos, and 2 shredded beef tamales. The food was soooo good!! Got a couple hot sauces to enjoy with as well. So good! Haven't been here in a LONG time and man we forgot how delicious it is! They make it all and it's worth the wait.

    omg! Yummo! This is right next to my favorite hotel in the Eugene Springfield area. Never have been a huge fan of Chile Rellenos until now. My go to order is a combo plate with chile relleno and pork tamal covered in half green and half red mole. Been coming here for 4 years and have NEVER been disappointed

    Very friendly! Tacos de chorizo, tamales de rajas (jalapeños & cheese) and Chile relleno were all very tasty. Will be back for more.

    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.

    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.
