    This was my first real foray into the Mexican food scene in Eugene/Springfield... and I really,…read moretruly hate to be harsh, but I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure it could have gone much worse. With my dad being in town with me, the two of us decided to go on a late-night taco run. We went with a big order that included 2 carne asada tacos, 2 tacos campechanos, an asada burrito, and a chorizo breakfast burrito. Starting with the asada itself: it was just depressingly, woefully bland. The meat was crying out for any sort of seasoning. Somehow, though, this wasn't the worst part -- even more strikingly, it was clear that liquid smoke was likely used as well. If you've never tasted liquid smoke before, it's a horrible, powerfully artificial flavor that should go nowhere near any quality piece of meat. Color me thoroughly impressed if this was not the case here. The asada burrito had almost no asada in it, despite my dad requesting "double" meat. The chorizo had a strange aftertaste, not super pleasant. Furthermore, proper chorizo gives a bright punch of acidity, a stout kick of spice, and a rich unctuousness (aka: that sinful, I-hate-myself fattiness... you know the one) -- this had none of those things. Making a duo of the asada and chorizo in the tacos campechanos did not elevate either meat; it ended up kind of just being a tandem of sadness and regret. My dad -- who never, ever says anything bad about Mexican food -- may have put it best: "Yeah... this was pretty freakin' bad." I will say that the service was friendly and informative... I will always, always appreciate and recognize that in a business. The food, on the other hand, I'm sorry to say might have been the worst I have had to date as far as Mexican goes. I am hoping (praying!) that I find a go-to taco/burrito spot around these parts soon -- I may go certifiably insane if I don't.

    Food was absolutely terrible, carne asada meat tasted like it was days old and reheated. Skimpy as…read morewell, but since it tasted so bad it ended up going in the garbage anyway. They were open late night but food was horrible, should've just opted for an overpriced hot dog instead. Do not recommend the carne asada at ALL, maybe the other meat is okay but everything was super greasy as well, the tortillas full of grease, the torta unnecessarily greasy too. Everything was just terrible, don't recommend especially if you're hispanic and actually enjoy good tacos.

    Tacos campechanos. A flat chorizo and a bland carne asada that reeked of liquid smoke... not the best.

    Chorizo breakfast burrito. Not the best chorizo in the world; could have been brighter and more vibrant flavor-wise.

    Came back to sip to give it a try for the second time since the new owners / name change! I ordered…read morea cookie butter latte after seeing it on their social media page last night. They were so kind for me trying something knew.. if I didn't like it they would change it for me. It was delicious though! I brought my dog and they had treats for him & he loved the attention as well. Haha The ladies were friendly, and kind. My drink was made much quicker this time compared to the first, which I appreciated. Loved that they were on top of customer service in person & over the internet when I had questions about what to order when I arrived. It was a convenient location for me. Very easy to get in and out of their drive-thru (2 sides for drive up as& back onto west 11th. Thanks ladies! I came back again today- cause they're delicious... this time I ordered a white chocolate breve & a cinnamon roll. After seeing them post their pastries every day I had to try something. They warmed it up for me and oh my gosh it is so good!! So soft & flavorful.

    BEST COFFEE SHOP IN EUGENE/SPRINGFIELD. (Possibly in all of Oregon, actually) Seriously, if you are…read morewondering where to go- This is the place. 1)Super easy to find! Just down the street from Target, it's in very clear view right on the side of the road. 2)No seating available but... HUGE parking lot so you can park and enjoy your beverages! Perfect for meeting up with friends, or taking a date. 3)DID I MENTION HOW INEXPENSIVE IT IS?! Seriously, no other quality coffee place is this cheaply priced. Make sure to check out their monthly specials and discounts on certain days of the week! 4)Great variety of drinks! Their iced espresso drinks are to die for! But they also have a variety of teas, hot coffees, and other types of beverages as well! 5)The BEST customer service you will find anywhere. The baristas are incredibly nice and down to earth. Very friendly, but not obnoxious (like they are at Dutch Bros. Lol) Totally willing to answer any questions you may have, and always smiling. The baristas here treat each customer like a new friend. They will make you feel welcomed, and provide the best coffee experience you can imagine! 6)A VERY SPECIAL SHOUT OUT: To the amazingly kindhearted male barista with the Slitherin tattoo... My car battery died in the parking lot (because I was silly and left it running while I was talking with a friend), and he COMPLETELY SAVED THE DAY. Not only did he jump my car battery, he taught both my friend and I HOW to jump a car! He was incredibly sweet and kind. He acted like it was no big deal, but I am SO GRATEFUL. I wish I was Bill Gates or Elon Musk because I would have tipped this gentleman a gaziillion dollars if I could have. He is a modern day hero, and I will continue to come back to this coffee shop and spread the word about how AMAZING the baristas here are. Don't go anywhere else. Sip is the BEST.

It sucks they moved to Veneta and are ~30 minutes from Eugene, but to be honest their grilled cheeses are so good its worth the drive.

    I died and went to cheese heaven. I am so glad to have landed on the review that made me plug in…read morethe address of this treat truck and head over to give her a shot! The smell that was coming from the truck was like fish hooking every one of my senses, it was pulling and reeling me closer to this food truck dream. You can pick your toppings or select from a list of several other sandwiches. I had a turkey, provolone, pepper jack cheese on texas toast with a side of pickled jalapeños. So cheesey! So perfect. The turkey was tasty and looked like it was carved off a whole turkey after Thanksgiving. Bread was delicious. You have the option of a side salad or tortilla chips. My husband had a ham melt with cheddar and provolone. Very tasty ham slices with cheese that about about slapped your face or was so stretchy! Dreamy. Did I say yet how great and amazing the service was? I didn't. So let me just say...humor was a bonus. A down to earth gal with a spicy funky soul. Loved the vibes radiating from her. I always place standard very high for customer service...I've worked in it. I know how it should be. The cheesey queen nailed it! The cheesey chef behind the curtain, hands down the best fried cheese and bread I've had since grandma's after school back in the day. Can't wait to go back and try the beer cheese soup! The distillery was very cute and fancy looking . Nice service. Shout out to Brian T.'s review that made us try this awesome cheesey place!
