One of the best burritos I've ever had. I've had some of their other food as well and it all stacks up at the top of my list of best Mexican food. I would say that I agree the wait is long but if they fixed that problem they would have to pre-cook their food, which would bring down quality. Call ahead and if you want to eat there, the outdoor seating works just fine. Short of returning to some of my favorite spots all over Mexico this would be the spot to satisfy my urge for authentic Mexican food. read more

I would name this my favorite taco distributor Ever. The freshness of all the ingredients combined with the excellently blended spices seasoning the chicken, particularly, made this the best. The rice was fluffy and full of flavor, the refried beans had a pleasant, mild, but full taste. The meat also tasted fresh and well cared for. Five Stars read more

This little food cart is worth the time it takes to find! As you travel River Road, watch the east side for a bright green food cart in a small parking lot - you've found it. Family run, with very friendly staff offsets an unusual dining environment - sitting on small tables under the eaves of the strip mall. I tried the chile relleno - very fresh with lots of flavor - clearly a recently roasted pepper. The "chimichangas" are apparently a recent addition to the menu, and are also called "crispy tacos" by the family - but with carnitas filling were absolutely excellent! Fresh crema, and salsa to add some heat, and it would have been a perfect lunch in itself. Would be great to see some aquas on the menu (horchata, etc.) but this is still a great find. read more

Have only eaten here once so far. Had a bean and cheese burrito as a test. Watched them making the beans, so they were fresh. However, they were not hot, and the burrito was filled with barely warm beans and unmelted cheese. After throwing it in the oven for 15 minutes, the beans were blazing hot and the cheese was thoroughly melted, and it was a great tasting bean and cheese burrito. To be fair though, I shouldn't have to heat up my food to make it hot. I will probably try it again, but my first impression was so/so. I think they close fairly early, so your best bet is lunch or early dinner. read more

Absolutely great all around. A Eugene, nay, a River Road staple. read more

Amazing Mexican food from the burritos,tacos, sopes to carne asada plates - you can't go wrong! Great price as well!

How did I wait so long before trying this little gem? Got the #1 today which is Arturo's special. I skipped the tortillas because I'm doing the Keto diet right now and this was delicious and very filling. I'll be back! read more

Never ever ever ever is open at 11 like it says on yelp. I really want to try this place, but lunch starts at 11 and I only have 30 minutes.

Grossest restaurant in town. I am not sure how it passes health inspections. There are cobwebs everywhere, and their cleaning bucket water was filthy (I hope that's what it was). Our food wasn't even warm. I took a few bites of my bland food, but decided to stop eating because it wasn't worth getting typhoid fever. read more

All of the food at Lonches to go is excellent and a great value. The prices are comparable with a good burger at most fast food places ($2-$7) but with generous portions that can easily be split into two smaller meals either for sharing or saving for lunch the next day. The food is prepared in a small yellow trailer with seating either outside or in their indoor dining area. You can also call ahead to place an order to pick up and take home to eat. read more

The best burrito in Eugene. If you're a vegetarian, try the veggie burrito with added grilled onions and peppers and fresh avocado. They serve chilled bottles of imported Mexican Coca-Cola, which I love. I've been here maybe five times and been delighted each time. The food is hot (in temperature) and tasty, with much better flavor than other Mexican places in Eugene. It doesn't taste like just all the usual ingredients thrown together in a tortilla - there's something special. It takes a while to cook, but I'm fine with that because it's obvious they really are cooking it on the spot for you. Go prepared to wait a little while and you'll be fine. Not that easy to find and in a so-so part of town, but well worth going out of your way for. Five stars because the food is just that good. read more

My friend, husband and I stopped by to get some food tonight and was turned away because we went in to use the bathroom first. The owner came charging in to tell us it was for customers only. When we said we were getting food, she told us that they were closed. She was lying.........we called 20 min later to tell her how rude she was and they were open. I am sooooooooooooooooooo disappointed, as my family and I live a few blocks away and go there very often. NOT ANY MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE! read more

I had to go here because of the solid Yelp reviews. My wife and I are native Californians and frequently visit New Mexico, so we're used to and demand good Mexican food. This place was just your standard taco truck. Not bad, but by no means very good. I hope to God this isn't the best Mexican in Eugene. Still hunting... While the food was average, the service was great. Buena onda! read more

Oh Yelp, you got me again! I went to Lonches based on all the glowing reviews. Here's my story. So, the common denominator with all the reviews was the wait time. I was prepared so that was not a problem for me. However long it takes. I just wanted this amazing food quality that everyone's been raving about. Ordered the special--3 steak tacos for $4.50 and a steak burrito for $6.00. Took a seat in the area just in front of the truck & prepared to wait. I brought a book with me just so I wouldn't bitch too much about the time in case it came down to that. The tacos came pretty quickly, to my amazement. Meat was pretty plentiful, but dry and not very flavorful. Never had I needed to use salt on Mexican food before, but I had to on this one. Still, my friend & I ate it & was thankful it came so quickly. Then we settled in to read and wait for the burrito. 20 minutes. 30 minutes. Fine. Then at 55 minutes, I figured something was off. One burrito couldn't take this long, can it? Despite everyone saying that those amazing magical beans-from-scratch was worth the wait. I went back to the truck to ask the lady where the burrito was. She had a blank look at first then 2 seconds later went to where the cook was & all I heard was loud argument back & forth between her & the gentleman hidden from my view. This lasted a little while & she finally emerged back to tell me exasperatingly, "2 minutes, ok?" I smiled & said okay. What was one supposed to do? The burrito came, COLD (not even remotely warm) but very cold. I guess it had been sitting somewhere in that trailer for almost an hour. I was still hopeful--maybe the flavor can save it. Sadly, no. The famous "beans-from-scratch" I was so looking forward to was flavorless and pretty much everything wrapped in that cold burrito was not up to all the hype I read about. I'm so sad because I really wanted to like this place. read more

Best Mexican food in town. They make everything to order so it can take a bit of time. Food is very authentic and not Americanized like a lot of places in town. The tacos are made with soft corn tortillas. Everything I had so far tasted awesome. This place operates out of a food truck next to a store front where they have outdoor and indoor seating. I just get mine to go. read more

Being from California, I know good taco trucks when I find them. I had seen all the wonderful reviews so I tried it. Seeing this was my first visit, I got basic carne asada tacos with rice and beans. The 20 min wait didn't bother me as I thought it was cooked fresh. I was wrong. The rice was crunchy like it was leftover from 2 days before. The meat was bland and salsa had no flavor. I was looking forward to trying here and I was disappointed. read more

Great Tacos! Very friendly service and a no BS menu. Worth every penny!

The best tasting Mexican food in Eugene! Great price to portion ratio too! Large menu, everything is made from scratch. Try their hot sauces. read more

There a.few mexican places you can get food. This place is very basic. They got burritos, nachos and sanwhiches. Then they got the mexican bread/pastry/cake section. Additonally, fresh fruit cut and smoothies. I have ordered the bionico and mangoneada they were not disappointing. Another time i got their bread and it was as good as it gets. Customer service was friendly. Good foor snacks, desserts, or quick on the go meal read more

How can there be no reviews of Lonches already?? I go there several times a week and they get plenty of business, so I know I'm not the only one that eats there. Their sign boasts "best burritos in town" and I will back up that claim. And it's not even a narrow victory. Lonches is not a restaurant; it's a permanently situated trailer, though they do have some covered outdoor seating. They have a wide selection including tacos of many different types, burritos, tortas, chilaquiles (very good), enchiladas (excellent), and Arturo's specialty, your choice of meat with grilled onions, melted cheese, pico de gallo, with tortillas. All the cooking is done by Arturo, who is a great cook and also a very nice guy. Orders are usually taken by Margarita, who is also very friendly. Arturo's son, Arturo Jr., is also known to make an appearance on occasion. A "big burrito" is $5 and it is so good. My wife is Mexican and she's used to her parents' homemade food, and after trying most of what the Eugene area has to offer, Lonches is the only place that she likes. That's because their food is fresh, flavorful, and tastes home-cooked, plain and simple. She wants to go there every day. They may be selling food out of a trailer, but their burritos and the enchilada plate beat any restaurant around. I've never ordered their carne asada, so I can't comment on it; I always get their pork, which is incredibly delicious. Take it from me. Lonches is the BEST, most authentic Mexican food in Eugene. Word of warning, though: Call ahead of time to make sure they're open. (541) 461-7920. They don't always stick to their regular hours. read more

They claim the best burrito in Eugene and it is true. Also worth trying are the Chilaquiles (best nachos EVER) and Arturo's Special with beef. Call ahead, its good food not fast food :) read more

I am so pissed that I've waited this long to try this place. Most flavorful mexican food I've ever had in Eugene! The beans are really good, the chicken has very rich flavor, I mean even the enchilada sauce was delicious and I normally don't like enchilada sauce much at all! Go there now! Exclamation! read more

I really like the taste of Loches To go.. the price is right .. the owners are friendly and caring. However, one thing to note; sometimes my body would not feel so good after eating their food...I think it might just be a personal sensitivity to over-used oil or low quality oil..but in general I think that could just be my problem..as there are many other positive reviews. read more

as good as advertised. I had the chicken burrito. tasted like a combination of burrito boy and plaza latina. sunset magazine said Lonches has the best burritos in eugene. they may be right. read more

Best damn burrito in town. I would go there every day if they weren't so far away! I always forget to go there and they close a little early. Seriously though, great place. read more

Best Mexican food in Eugene. Not much for seating, but makes up for it with quality tacos, burritos, and more. read more

Lonches To Go - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

We absolutely love Lonches! Their veggie burritos with avocado is the best burrito in town, hands down.

So delicious and fresh! A favorite of the whole family. We have tried the soft tacos, burritos, wet burritos, and sopas, and have loved it all. There is a wait, because it isn't prepared ahead of time. Best if taken to go, because there isn't much of an eating area. Looking forward to going back. read more

The Best Mexican Food in Eugene! Have tried all the rest and this remains #1. So authentic and delicious with great salsa to complement all the flavors. Arturo and company make great food consistently as I've eaten lunch here 4 days out of a week at times. The secret compliment to your food is Arturo's grilled jalapenos! Oh yeah! Smoky and so delicioso! So do yourself a favor folks! Better yet try a few other places on Yelp then decide. Not fancy and prices to match! It's all about the food, enjoy. read more

No frills, authentic Mexican food, not the kind of place you'd bring a date to impress though!

This place is amazing! Wonderful burritos, tacos, and carnitas. Very nice owners and great service.

Great place to stop in and have a quick bite. The taquitos were very authentic and good. Location is not the best but good was very good.

Best Mexican food in town. I have been going here since I was a kid! Highly recommend!

Dear white people... chilaquiles are not nachos, just like mashed potatoes are not wet french fries

I've eaten here a few times now and the food is awesome! The burritos are huge and super tasty. The tacos are simple and delicious with very fresh ingredients. So happy that we finally gave it a try! read more

The wet burrito is the bomb, it's good size an tasty every time

My household absolutely adores Lonches, so much so that we are still continuing our Friday night dinner tradition of Lonches takeout even though we now live on the opposite side of town! I can personally vouch for their chicken quesadillas and pork burritos. I was dubious about them at first just given that I haven't had great experiences with taco trucks, but after I tried them I was completely sold. I have them on my speed dial. Delicious and addictive food, friendly service, and reasonable prices! read more

I never know what to expect from a Taco Truck. This place has the best carne asada burrito in town. A friend bought me one and I have been going ever sense. read more

Price is great for the quantity and the quality is among the best in Eugene. Definitely recommend! Not really the place to sit and eat, but excellent for those 'to go' dinners or lonches! read more

Lonches is my favorite restaurant in town. Easily the best Mexican food. Easily the best "cheap" place to eat. I would place them into the "California Burrito" genre I hate to relate Mexican food to sex, but Lonches has the same way of being completely enthralling while enjoying it, and life-affirmingly satisfying afterwards. Burritos contain lttle rice-and-bean filler, come with sour cream and cheese, and the meat is always tender, juicy, and marinated. They'll put jalapenos in your burritos for free (I think). Everything I've had has been delicious and filling. They're near the bike path and so good for workout-recovery. If the apocalypse happened tomorrow, I would load up all my guns and fight my way up River road N. to save Arturo and his family, keeping them as the honored head chefs in my Neo-Feudalistic distopia. If its busy, there will be a wait because everything is made fresh. And its worth it. If that bothers you, then you deserve Taco Bell and the ensuing diabetes and heart failure. Their hours are kinda random, so its worth calling ahead of time. They usually open between 11 and noon. So call them right now and go down there. read more
