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.)

I tried pork belly and grilled shrimp tacos. 2 tacos is about right for a meal as far as I can tell. A small person might get away with only one but it wasn't enough for me. I loved the pork belly taco. My son had a burrito bowl which he thought was decent. It's an interesting fusion of 2 cultures, which I liked and would return to try again.

The sampler came with one soft taco, one hard taco, two taquitos, and one enchilada. The beef was dry and hard. The burrito was really dry and we had to ask for sauces. Our waitress gave us a red and green sauce. The red sauce was really spicy. The green sauce was mildly spicy and went well with the burrito. The Carne Asada Fries was good, but the ink from the liner transferred to the cheese. Overall, it's a good place to hang out. Food wasn't great, but service was fantastic.

El Super Taco hit the spot...esto estaba de rechupete! I dropped in around 3, was greeted kindly, and placed my order at the front. The setup is simple and efficient--no waiters, just quick service. You order at the counter, and then your food and drinks get brought out. You're in charge of your own salsas, utensils, and cleaning up. It's like a cafeteria, but with way better food. And oh, the food. I had the Carne Asada taco plate and a Michelada, and both were excellent. The tacos were juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the Michelada was on point...spicy, tangy, cold. ¡Una bomba! I'd go back for those alone. Only thing that threw me off a bit was the soundtrack, no hate, but the Macarena? Eso sonaba más a fiesta de quinceañera que a taquería. A little salsa or even Rosalia would've brought the whole vibe home. All in all, the experience was delicious. Not fancy, not fussy...just straight-up flavor. Like I said at the beginning, ¡esto estaba de rechupete!. read more

THIS A REVIEW FOR EL SUPER BURRITO NOT EL SUPER TACO SINCE THEY ARE BOTH IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD WANT EVERYONE TO BE SAFE! Good food wouldn't recommend going because they employ sexual predators. Went there 2 days ago and was sexually assaulted today by one of the employees that served me that day. They saw me walking down an alley and started to say things like "I love black" they proceeded to assault me when I went into El Super Burrito to address the employee and employer and was told to quite down and they didn't want to make a scene. Super disgusted by their support of rape culture have filed a police report and restraining order. Just posting this so all can be safe and not be the next victim of racialized sexual assault. read more
