Delicious bowls/burritos with fresh ingredients! Recommend Cod or Beef for protein! :)

Burrito bowl with beef, pinto beans, rice, salsa and vinaigrette
Alyssa M.

My husband loves this place and wanted me to try it so he picked up food for us. I got a Burrito Bowl with beef, rice, pinto beans, cheese, salsa and vinaigrette. Seems sparse? I guess when you elect not to get ALL the veggies and starches they just leave space, rather than giving you more of what you asked for. Tasty food, just not much of it. Will try again.

My personal favorite toppings for the carnitas are cotija, cilantro, jalapeños, and cilantro-lime sour cream.

Mucho Gusto really does deserve 5 stars. While this place isn't fancy or in the category of "fine dining", they consistently serve delicious food at a great price. Honestly their tacos are better than nicer, table-service Mexican restaurants I've been to in town. I'd take a Mucho Gusto carnitas taco any day. And you can't beat their prices for margaritas! My favorite thing to order is the mucho dip. It's basically nachos but with the toppings separate from the chips. It is very filling and my husband and I usually share it. Bottom line: Mucho is always a win and it's a regular go-to for me!

As someone who usually goes to chipotle, I loved that they had a larger variety of sauces and salsas. I had to get the mango salsa and cilantro sour cream. They pair together so well and I look forward to trying other options. I will say the beef lacks some spice. It can be masked with some hot sauce but I will look into other protein options next time.

Grande Salad

Definitely a Mexican American place. Not the most authentic but still pretty decent food. Staff was friendly and place was clean. It's a nice place for a filling meal. My only major complaint was I got the salad and asked for chicken but they put a lot of the chicken juice in tiny salad. I'm just not a fan of meat juice. I'd rather have salsa or dressing.

Mucho Gusto is a classic in Eugene. Food is always fresh and delicious and staff is always kind. Slightly more expensive than Chipotle but at least my stomach doesn't hurt after it! You also get free chips and salsa. Love the food always!

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.

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.)

So I called to see if it was something I could pick up tomorrow, as I really didn't wanna drive back again tonight. I ended up getting Erin, the owner, who was so kind about the situation. She remembered writing down my order and didn't question me saying my item was missing. She didn't need to go ask the cooks or question if I was lying. I get the need for it sometimes, but it just felt very kind and genuine how she handled it. Seriously, 10/10 with customer service. I have been going to Chula's for years now. The food is great, I love the creamy enchilada sauce. I have had good experiences and bad experiences here over the years. Erin's positivity really made me feel like those bad experiences were an employee having a bad day vs the standard she keeps for her restaurant. I will continue to keep coming back just to make sure I am supporting her. It doesn't cost anything to be kind, but you can make a difference on another person's day with it.

It was a Thursday night so it wasn't too busy and we were able to get a spot in the parking lot without any issues. We were greeted immediately by a friendly hostess and shown a table. We got chips and salsa for free (a staple!) while we looked over the menu. I got the pollo a la crema and my partner got the steak fajitas. My food was great! It came with three tortillas, I got flour. My partner's food also came with three (flour) tortillas. You have a choice of corn or flour when you order. The chicken and crema sauce tasted so good! I wish I had a spoon so I could drizzle the sauce over the chicken in the tortilla but I just ended up dipping it instead and that worked fine. The steak fajitas were also good! The rice and beans were just okay, they didn't seem to have much seasoning and needed a lot more salt. We were seated in a cozy little sunroom with a bar. The whole place looked very clean, even the fake plants way up by the ceiling didn't look dusty at all. The people working here were very nice and attentive. The prices were also very reasonable for the amount of food we got - I have lunch for another day! All in all this was a great spot! I definitely want to try more things on the menu. Just be prepared to have to salt and pepper your rice and beans if you get some.

But for the most part very good the enchiladas are fabulous, the tlayuda delicious and many other meals. I genuinely liked this place. But after tonight, I have to say that the complete lack of respect shown toward the food was mind-blowing. There were three things tonight that simply could not be forgiven. 1. The Ceviche Trio The pulpo was chewy as a bouncy ball wrapped in rubber bands--completely inedible. The fish had no salt, no acidity, and was cut so poorly that I made the joke that the cook must have forgotten his knives at home, thrown it against the wall a few times, and said, "Well, that's good enough." The shrimp was effectively a cheap riff on shrimp cocktail, if they had remembered to clean the shrimp before serving it. I've had better ceviche from Taco Bell. Granted, that was from a vagrant selling what I thought was ceviche outside Taco Bell, so take that for what it's worth. Either way, it was loads better. I hope it was fish. 2. The Al Pastor Tacos -- "Served Table-Side" When you read that something is being served table-side, you imagine someone coming out of the kitchen with beautifully marinated, succulent pork piled high on a proper trompo, topped with pineapple, slowly roasting and caramelizing away as you wait for it to be carved right there at your table. Instead, out comes a busser with a trompito, spinning a metal skewer and attempting to give the meat some sort of roasted effect with a blowtorch emblazoned with "Ace Hardware." He then passes me this metal box containing room-temperature, dry pork that tasted like it was made with a seasoning packet. Not to mention there was no practical way to eat it. You basically had to tear the meat from the skewer with your hands because the apparatus was so cumbersome. If the butter knife provided had actually been capable of cutting the meat, it would have fallen directly into my lap. It was as if they took the iconic mid-century dish made famous in Mexico City and decided to serve it à la Easy-Bake Oven. This was an absolute failure of a dish from concept to execution. 3. The Pork Fajitas We have all had and loved fajitas: sizzling meat, onions, and peppers arriving at the table still sizzling away. This was not that. This was stew meat in a puddle of broth. Soggy and overcooked, with no caramelization and barely any flavor. One Positive My brother said his pork belly tacos were nice. And honestly, that's part of what makes tonight so disappointing. We've been here several times. I genuinely liked this place. I understand that not every dish is going to be a winner, and I've certainly had meals here where I thought, "Well, I won't order that again." But tonight wasn't a matter of one disappointing dish. It was three dishes that felt like nobody involved had any respect for what they were supposed to be.
