I came in here a couple days ago with my husband for dinner. I'm house/puppy sitting for a friend, and this restaurant is within walking distance of the house. We walked in and we're immediately greeted and seated. I didn't get our waiter's name, but he was super kind and helpful. I ordered a taco and enchilada combination. My husband ordered a chicken and rice dish, I forget the actual name. Food was good. It wasn't anything truly memorable or crave-able, but it was good. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but nothing special either. The restaurant itself is clean and quite spacious. My husband called it 3.5 stars, and I rounded up because our waiter and his customer service was actually memorable. Would I return? Maybe... I can't see myself returning unless I'm house/puppy sitting again in the future. This isn't a restaurant I would go out of my way to eat at. But it works well in the convenience aspect of being close to the house I am staying at. Review 39 of 2025. read more

I'm literally writing this while sitting on the toilet, in pain, wondering why I ever trusted your happy hour tacos. There was nothing happy about them. They were dry, flavorless, lifeless--like someone printed out a stock photo of a taco and tried to serve it with a straight face. It was so bland it almost made me question if I even like Mexican food. (Spoiler: I do--I had amazing tacos on the coast yesterday.) But these? These were straight-up depressing. No spice. No soul. Just sadness in a tortilla. My body is actively rejecting them, and I'm regretting every bite. I don't leave reviews often, but I had to say something--because no one should go through this kind of digestive betrayal for something that tasted like absolutely nothing. Do better. Please. read more

Having moved from Southern California to Eugene we were worried we weren't going to find good Mexican restaurants. This place changed that! The food was delicious. The portions were great. We ordered drinks and they were perfectly made. The service was incredible. Our water was filled without asking, chips were brought to the table immediately. My husband asked for an extra hot salsa and he was actually impressed by the selection! (It takes a lot for him to admit something is hot). The inside is decorated very nicely. We are definitely coming back! read more

Wish I'd have taken pictures. Fajitas with steak, chicken and shrimp. If you ask for the hottest salsa... you'll get their habanero. It won't hurt you, but you'll need a Kleenex. I asked for a handcrafted top-shelf Cadillac jalapeño margarita... no gun.. no bottled mix. It was bomb. Bartender and waiters are super cool. Honestly. The atmosphere was perfectly worthy. Back room has an old school vibe with pool, air hockey and foos ball. You wouldn't even know it was back there. I can't wait to take my momma and daughter here. read more

It's so hard to get an order right here. You specify what you want and it's done wrong. We love it but it's to hard to keep going back. read more

I came here with my partner for drinks around 7:30pm/8:00pm on a Saturday night. It was a quiet evening and we went straight to the bar. The bar tender was attentive and friendly. We even got free chips and salsa too. I ordered a Hop Valley IPA and my partner ordered two margaritas. She said her drinks were strong and she felt it the next day. Will come back again and this time we will order food. read more

Low overall value. In my experience here, everything is very middle-of-the-road: Unexceptional food, portions, service, and ambiance. This wouldn't be such a big deal if it wasn't $20 a plate. If the price was in correct proportion to the overall value to the customer, I'd rate it 4 stars and I would be an occasional repeat customer. They're clearly aiming to be an upscale restaurant, but they underdeliver and then charge an upscale price. You can find better food from nearly any small Mexican restaurant in the city for a fraction of the cost. read more

Tasteless. The food has no flavor at all and yet they expect a kings ransom for a few microwaved burritos. Customer service is astoundingly terrible. When you ask for something they will run off to the back and not help you. Taking peaks at you occasionally. I am genuinely baffled. The restaurant is at least clean. read more

Ample parking. Great hours. Clean interior. Relaxed atmosphere. Helpful, engaging staff. Large menu. Generous helpings. Zesty flavors. My go-to for Mexican food. read more

This was a nice little getaway from the mix up at our campsite. I needed a margarita STAT! It was hot outside and the a/c felt good here. It took a little bit to get service and the server didn't check on on regularly hence the 4 stars vs 5. I ended up with the Chili Colorado. We got the lunch portion which was plenty. We ordered the large Cadillac and it was pretty tasty. If you are in town, I recommend stopping here. I think I also read that they have margaritas to go! Too bad I forgot or I would have taken a couple to the campsite. Service was just okay, the food was good, and the drinks were yummy! read more

Decent Mexican at typical prices for such. Service is good and a decent atmosphere. Worth checking out. read more

I had a lunch order delivered via DOORDASH (thank you Edwin!) today from Los Potrillos -- a taco salad and a side order of chile relleno -- with a margarita. (Yes, you can do that now in Eugene.) This is seriously the best taco salad I've had delivered in the Eugene area, from several different restuarants, in several years. The chile relleno plate was surprisingly delicious and I'm not easily impressed with this -- I've had some real winners from local restaurants and have eaten this dish in Mexico more times than I can count. Los Potrillos has definitely got their to-go-delivery food packaging procedure figured out. See photos. Sturdy to-go plates securely wrapped in heavy-duty foil. My dinner items arrived in excellent shape (thanks again to Edwin with DOORDASH), just about in-restaurant dining quality, in large part due to the professional packaging that Los Potrillos uses. These people know what they're doing, and if you've seen more than a couple dinners during the last two years of Covid delivery, you know what substandard food delivery packaging looks like! I'd give Los Potrillos 6 stars if I could but 5 for sure! read more

Los Potrillos - Chicken fajitas! I ordered no onion and extra peppers. - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Took my relative for lunch here today. Not a very good experience. First of all, not sure what is up with the dark windows. Menu prices were high for a lunch menu. Food was just alright. I ordered a combo plate w/ a ground beef taco. Taco was soggy, and greasy. Waitress cleared my plate before my relative was done eating, and then brought the check too early. She came back to get the payment and I felt very rushed. She said she was leaving and was needing to cash the check out. Won't be going back again. They now have a second location on W. 11th. After the bad experience at the Crescent location, will not be patronizing the second location. read more

My family ate here on Sunday night. My mom had a shrimp dish that hurt the inside of her mouth when she ate it. The food was not spicy however. That night mom was terribly ill for around 5-6 hours. A few of us also had the mild salsa and found it to be too acidic and it was fermented (created a bubbling sensation). We also had upset stomachs that night but were not vomiting like my mom. This restaurant needs to be visited by OSHA to confirm they are managing their food quality correctly. Something is very wrong here read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Eugene. They're always so attentive, their food is incredible, and it's such a cute interior. I feel like people sleep on this place, but they shouldn't!! They have soooo many margarita flavors and their birria tacos are absolutely delicious! read more

Love the atmosphere and the service.. I wish they'd update their menu with more authentic choices.. their chicken is chewy.. they should use thighs not breast. Add carnitas, big salads with mixed greens instead of iceberg.. read more

This place use to be good, well ok. But me and my husband went back after a few years hoping they were better and they were actually far worse. First off there price's are crazy, might as well go somewhere fancy, second of all, I got the taco, enchilada and tamale with chichen...my chichen was so dry in my taco I could not stop chewing, when the waiter asked if all was ok i said yes but my husband told them my chicken was dry so the waiter siad sorry and there chicken comes frozen. Also my daughters ranch wach completely rotten, I mean expired to the point I diped one thing on it and threw up. read more

My dad, husband and I ordered take out from here. I had the enchilada Suiza, my husband got the 2 cheese enchiladas, and my dad got the beef enchiladas. The portions sizes were good. Not way to much food like a lot of Mexican restaurants. You could tell they used fresh ingredients. We got guacamole for our chips and it was delicious. We will defiantly eat here again when we are back in town. read more

First time eating lunch here, will be back! Came in, wasn't very busy, music just right, service good and the food was yummy! Makes me hungry just thinking about it as I write. Had the Taco Salad- was perfect. The Vegetarian Burrito was great! Interesting some of the reviews that flavors were bland- was not the case for us. The slaw served with chips and delicious salsa was great. Look forward to trying other dishes no doubt! read more

Los Potrillos - 31. Beef Burrito/Chile Relleno - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

The second time in my life I left no tip. Waited to be seated for a couple minutes while the staff looked around. All but one if the doors was locked, do we just kept walking around until we found an open one. Three other tables around us arrived after us but got food before we did. Waiter John flew in and got water orders then while we were grabbing our menus to order he baled out. Dropped off water and AGAIN while we were starting to ask to place orders he took off! We may find ourselves on Youtube on one of the "what would you do" shows showing the crappiest service anywhere, then judging how patrons behaved! (If so, I'll remove this!) The food was genuinely bad. I had arroz con pollo. Should have been moist and flavorful chicken, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and cilantro bathed in a mild salsa. It tasted like slightly salty water. Worst Mexican cuisine I have ever had. Among the worst service, just an overall bad experience. #BuyTacoBellAndInvestTheDifference! So the owner has been actively and tirelessly pursuing me via direct message, blaming me for the bad experience because I didn't complain to a manager. Wait, what? Anyway, I think this simply bolsters my case that you should just make a different decision for food. Note to the owner: I'm done, don't troll me anymore. read more

Los Potrillos - Evidence - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I have to start off by saying that the food here is pretty good and on par with similar Mexican restaurants I've been to. However, the prices are too high and they charge for EVERYTHING. It's $2 extra if you want to split your dish with someone. It's $4 for a club soda even though most places with a full bar don't charge for club soda. $4 for an iced tea. Our bill came to $30+ even though we shared one entree and purchased two drinks. I would probably come back here again for happy hour, but I know I can get comparable dinner entrees elsewhere for a more affordable price. read more

We went to Los Potrillos on Cinco de Mayo and we were extremely disappointed with the service. We showed up an hour before closing, but it took about a half hour for us to get drinks and almost 50 minutes to get our food. One of my friends ordered a beef burrito and the server said, "We gave your beef burrito to someone else but here's another kind of burrito if you want that." My friend agreed to eat the burrito that was put it front of him, but it was not comped from our receipt. While we were still finishing our meal, the staff turned off the TVs and when we asked to have them turned back on while we finished, they refused. We will not be coming back to Los Potrillos. Don't recommend. read more

My mom and I LOVE this restaurant . We had been looking for a real authentic Mexican food, sit-down, full service restaurant when we moved here from California . I took her here and it's now our go-to whenever we get a hankering for some good margaritas and food . The service is excellent . We love Teo. He is always very friendly and upbeat . The ambience and cleanliness is an A+. I have been coming here for 4 years now , and have always had wonderful experience. Their fajitas and taco salads are to die for ! We will always give this restaurant our business . read more

Los Potrillos - Combo Fajitas and Pollo Taco Salad - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Terrible bland food and way, way over priced! I don't know how this place stays in business.

We come here when we're visiting from Southern California as it's the only restaurant we've found in the area with Mexican food that is comparable to home. Every time we visit it keeps getting better! Today the food was fab, (Potrillos Burrito, Chicken Tamale, Shredded Chicken Taco, Pork Burrito Combo), the beer was ice cold (Citrus Mistress, Boneyard) and reasonable priced, and our server Jonnie was THE BEST!!! Bravo...can't wait to come back! We're back and it is better than ever! Enjoyed the lunch specials which are bargain priced entrees which are the same as you can get at dinner. * Still Awesome Service * Still Ice Cold Beer * Still Yummy Authentic Mexican Food read more

Again amazing place!! So busy but every staff member cares so much I got like 7 hello or how's ur day. This place has a great team here. They know there stuff. The manger was at the bar great people He knows his tequila. Love this place read more

My family would eat here regularly since it's conveniently located. They often got our online orders wrong, but it was reliably mediocre food. When they make a mistake, the manger would never apologize or make things right. I dealt with that because I know these are stressful times. But a few weeks ago, I unwrapped my takeout and dug into the rice. Never have I tasted anything so foul. It tasted like literal garbage, with a vinegar/ ammonia taste. My son spit his food out, and he's a teen who inhaled his food. I had to throw all of our food away. I wouldn't feed it to my dog children. When we called, the manager was nasty even though he knows we are (were) regular customers. Never never again. I would rather eat Taco Bell. read more

Showed up at 8:30 on a Saturda night,, ordered a beer, and they said the taps were already cleaned, so they couldn't pour a beer. Terrible service. We just left if you can't pour a beer, can you imagine the food at 8:30? read more

I went to this restaurant to pick up an online order. When I got there to grab it, the order had already been picked up by someone else. The person who placed the order didn't get their food, and I lost out on that order. They said they were also unwilling to remake the order unless it was placed again. I called to let the person in charge know that the customer did not get their food. The manager or owner was very rude to me when all I was trying to do was let them know that they were basically robbed of the order. What I gather from this place is that they don't check to make sure that the person picking up the order is actually there for that specific order. I do not recommend ordering online through any type of food delivery app from this place because your order might just get stolen, and they won't care. read more

Great happy hour, good service, food is good, not the best of had but not bad for a neighborhood spot.

We were regulars here. The latest visit turned us off from this place. My daughter ordered a kids meal (one taco with beans and rice). She asked for shredded beef. We were not told that would be extra. When we received our Mexican Pizza and Fajitas to share, they were brought without plates. The gentleman asked if we'd like plates and we said yes. Six minutes later he comes over asking how everything is. Ummmmmm, can we get plates? The bill comes and I was shocked to see the kids meal was $8.00 and the soda she ordered was $4.00. I looked on the website before I handed my card and it said kids meals are $6.00 and sodas to accompany the meals are $1.49. When I brought this to our server's attention she argued with a nasty tone and said, "Well that's not a kids soda." Well now you are making me get an attitude when you should have taken it off. Why would you bring an adult soda to accompany a kids meal...where is the logic in that? So in the end, they only took $2.00 off. I was pissed. I wrote to the company's website to let them know. The manager, Teo called, but I missed it. He didn't leave a message, only emailed me asking me to call him. So I did. He stumbled through a half assed explanation that the shredded beef was extra and that should have been explained to me at the time my daughter placed her order and that it wouldn't happen again. Didn't address the attitude I received. Didn't offer to reimburse me for what I wasn't told would be a charge. Didn't address the fact that the website shows different prices than they charged me. That's it, just that it won't happen again. Why waste my time with what could have been a voicemail? VERY inexperienced management and staff. read more

The service was mediocre they acted like it was a bother for us to be there. The restaurant was so dark we had to use flashlights from our phone to see the menu. The food was bland and not appetizing. I might give it a second chance but not right away. It was a sad dinner experience for the celebration that we came for! read more

Friendly wait staff with good response time. Early dinner before the rush. delivered large portions. I got chicken enchilada and Chile Relleno small combination dinner. Both were very dry with too little sauce. Disappointed. Margarita was excellent. read more

For the north Eugene Sheldon area, the prices are relatively high and they nickel and dime you on the menu. You want shredded beef on your taco or enchilada instead of ground beef? That's a dollar extra. The food is just average. Atmosphere average. Our waitress took our order. She wasn't very friendly. Then somewhere along the way we were transferred to another waiter. We were offered water refills once. Near the end I asked for a food box and check. After being ignored for 10 minutes, I asked for a food box and check again and the waiter apologized as I guess he forgot about us. He seemed sincere. I can think of many other Mexican restaurants within that area that have tastier food and more competitive prices. We probably won't be back. Sorry. read more

A reasonably priced, average Mexican restaurant with a lengthy menu. I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. I grew up in Las Vegas and have had a lot of authentic Mexican food. Despite A TON of different menu options, this didn't quite have the kitchen fresh taste I was hoping for. I ordered the Chicken Carnitas (pictured) and was disappointed with the flavor of the chicken. There was very little seasoning, and despite the addition of the green peppers and onions on the plate, those flavors don't really come through. I'm also a big fan of Mexican plates because of the rice and decried beans, and the portion size on my plate was less than I was hoping for. I like to use rice and beans with my tortillas as I add chicken and peppers, but I finished them before I was halfway through my pollo. I also ordered one of their speciality cocktails of the day, a coconut berry margarita, which was absolutely delightful. It's served in a large glass and would be the perfect drink after a long day at work. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, the menu had a ton of options, and I'm a sucker for a restaurant that serves complimentary chips and salsa. I'll definitely be visiting again to give something else on the menu a try. read more

Los Potrillos - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

This place cuts many basic corners, while charging high prices. Walk in on a thursday around 4pm. There were 3 other guests but no servers around. I poke my head past the entrance and see a waiter sitting at a booth on his phone. He had some pep to his step after we made eye contact. Chips and salsa came with a cabbage slaw, this was pretty cool. But the chips were cold amd store bought. Happy hour los potrillos nachos looked good at half off with a drink purchase from 3 to 6, monday to friday. Normally about 11.50 but it came out on the smallest restaurant plate ever. My plates at home are bigger than the thing. I was super bummed too because some of the chips were stale. The rest of the ingredients were good though. Enchilada and 2 taco plate was 13 dollars. The tacos were in hard shells I could purchase from walmart, little sad. Beans and rice were good. Soda is 3 dollars 75 cent up charge if you want shredded beef (is this a joke?) Checking out my waiter was no where to be seen? Took a while to leave and we were the only table when leaving. Not recommended, i could buy this stuff at the store. Fresh fried shells and chips would go a long ways. Or at the least, a warmer. read more
