Ambiance and service is still fabulous!…read more Food was mediocre this time. After being so enthusiastic from eating here last September, I couldn't wait to share the experience with families we met in the first year of university. Disappointed unfortunately... Ordered chile verde enchilada with rice and beans. Other members of my family ordered combination plates. Meat was cut in large chunks and rather bland in taste. Although plate was hot, food was warm. Tortilla fell apart as soon as I began cutting it. Rice and beans were lacking flavor too. On top of that, 20% gratuity added automatically for our party of 11. Sigh...think I'll need to find another Mexican restaurant for the next visit to Eugene.

I hadn't seen my nephews for a very long so we talked for a long period of time as we got over our excitement of seeing each other again. The staff was extremely patient while we sat there for about 20 minutes catching up. We had very attentive and thoughtful service the entire time. My wife wasn't sure what to order but the waitress was helpful in finding a grilled vegetable and chicken dish. My nephews and family were all satisfied with their food. The portions were huge for my nephews' supreme burritos and for my mole burrito dish. My wife's dish was huge and I thought there was no way she'd finish it but she basically did. Service was prompt and warm and the waitresses even took some pictures of our big group. Overally, we had a great experience there. I don't know what the competition is like in terms of Mexican food in Springfield but I would say that this would have to be near or at the top based on our experience.

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.

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.

The ambiance and the attention we always receive from the owner and the wait staff every time we go. I'm sorry "Brian K" had a bad experience. We went there last night and were greeted by the staff we've gotten to know: Eliazer, Maria, and Diego! This is a locally owned and operated restaurant and although we live in Portland we eat here every month when we visit because the food is good and everyone is super friendly. We are vegetarians and our favorite dish is the spinach enchiladas! Incredible! Also ask for a shot of Mexican whiskey sometime. read more

Ok, So heres the story. Memos is a warm place, but I ordered tacos el pastor and the menu says it was made off a rotisserie. But when it came to my table it was clearly obvious it was not, but infact fried on a grill or maybe a frying pan. Ive had tacos el pastor in mexico and other mexican restaurants, they were better then memos. Anyhow the young waiter, kept calling me dog. Im not a dog nor a gangster! I dont even dress that way. What was he thinking? One less place Im going to visit. read more

I was greeted right away and told to pick any seat. There isn't a traditional bar area, just seating throughout the restaurant. The space itself is really cute and welcoming, although it was very quiet with only one other table occupied during my visit. After looking over the menu and hearing both the online praise and my server's recommendation, I decided on the birria plate. It arrived in a reasonable amount of time. One small detail that stood out was the presentation--the consommé was simply spooned onto the plate, which made everything look a bit messy. The birria itself was tender and flavorful, but it still felt like it was missing something that would have made it memorable. The rice was disappointing, using a frozen-style vegetable medley with lima beans, which, in my opinion, didn't belong in the dish. The beans on the side were fine, but nothing particularly noteworthy. At $28, I expected better quality, a more polished presentation, or a larger portion. While the meal wasn't bad, it didn't live up to the glowing reviews or justify the price, and I left feeling underwhelmed.
