cute place with lots of space and a nice vibe. indoor and outdoor seating,...booths, tables and bar. colorful and lively any way you slice it. amazing salsa choices, from mild to scorching, depending on your palate. lots of different taco options, for people of all dietary persuasions. i chose a shrimp and a fried tofu for my maiden voyage and was not disappointed with either. the shrimp taco was pretty cold while the tofu wasn't so timing could've been better. friendly staff and cantina plus non alcoholic drink options round out the experience. small parking lot but some nearby on street parking options but that whole neighborhood has walkability so it shouldn't be a problem to access. in short, this place will likely please everyone. you could run in and grab something or stay for a while. i'd assume most people will enjoy it enough to come back for round two. or three. or four. read more

The most Caucasian tacos I've ever experienced. To compare this to authentic Mexican food wouldn't even be in the same ballpark. 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.) read more

Hands down the best Ahi Taco I have ever had- it was wild caught. The strawberry margh was excellent too- but go for the tacos. I can't recommend the actual chicken, but the fixings it came with were great & the woman behind me was raving about the carnitas taco. Nice atmosphere, good outside seating. read more

MMMmmmm... new taco favorite! Tacovore... fairly close, easy to get to... Nice! Service was wonderful, friendly and helpful! Placed my order for one Carnitas taco, one Chorizo Taco, and one Carne Asada taco, with a Mexican coke! Place is pretty good sized, a number of booths, and a bunch of shared tables. Fairly quiet too, considering how busy they were. Plenty of seating! Tacos were delivered quickly. Carne Asada... pretty good! Nice bit of Guacamole on it too... would order again. Carnitas taco... flavorful, and juicy, and I love the way they loaded it up. Chorizo taco... ok, not quite the chorizo I am used to... but good. Recommended! read more

Tacovore - Black bean chilli with extras with a side of Guacamole. - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Great food, fantastic margaritas. Frustrating to order, as the line gets very long and no one knows what they want until they get to the cash register and finally start looking at the menu. You're chided if you sit down before you order, and it can be difficult if you have problems standing for extended periods. We always go on off hours to avoid this irritation. read more

My go-to in town for a good bite to eat. The rotating herbivore special is always top notch. They use everything from sweet potatoes, kale, brussels sprouts, braised greens, etc. with vegan ranch or chipotle sauce. It never disappoints! I also love the black bean chili that comes with tortilla chips. It's savory, comforting and filling. The salsa bar is great too! You'll never get bored with flavors here. I love the atmosphere and the staff are always friendly too. read more

Been here so many times, always love it! Food is good, the hostesses are very nice. Always clean and the vibes are so good, inside and out!

Definitely a popular spot in Eugene. If you sit by the garage door, you'll be fascinated by the drivers who are attempting to leave the parking lot. Therefore, park on the street! Love the variation of sauces. I've been to the location in Portland, but I was impressed by the quality of food here. The tofu and chorizo were my favorite. I wished the chips were less salty which was my only complaint and wished there was more guacamole, but otherwise very delicious and worth stopping by. The margaritas were delicious and reasonably priced like a regular size marg of the raspberry jalapeño was $11. The hibiscus mint marg was super delicious. They seem to have a good range of seasonal drinks. read more

I stopped here for a quick lunch on Monday while out and it was very yummy! I got the chips and guacamole, grilled chicken, and Old E and they were all fantastic. The price was reasonable too. I wish I had one closer to me so I could go more often. The service was very quick and the ambience was fun. There were several people hanging out with fun looking drinks. I could see this being a great Friday or Saturday spot. read more

My 1st time here, I've heard great things about this place and I was finally able to try it. I loved the rustic atmosphere, but it was still very clean. The people that work there were very helpful when we had questions about the different tacos. They brought the food to our table, and cleared items when we were done with them. The place was busy most of the time we were there, but there were always some empty tables . So we stayed several hours just chatting after our meal. They never made us feel rushed. The tacos I had were the grilled chicken and the pork carnitas. The carnitas had the most amazing flavor. I'll probably get those again for sure. The chicken was great as well. I will be back probably sooner than later. The only con is parking is very tight. We had to park down the street. read more

I've Been Here many times at least once a week. Can't tell you how many times as there is always a line to get in but it goes somewhat quickly. You can order your margarita house special is my favorite. Always good and drink it while your waiting to give your order. They do have outside seating but I always manage to get a booth or table. You first pay for your food then grab a table. One of my favorite restaurants I started with the chorizo tempe tacos now I get the chicken tacos. Good food and drinks but expect to spend some money here. You bus your own table. Definitely worth a try.Oh yea. Don't forget to get the guacamole & chips! read more

Let me start with this place deserving higher than a three star- at least a 4.6! Service was amazing our food was AMAZING. I had never had such an amazing blend of flavors in tacos. The carne asada taco was definitely a fan favorite because of the smokiness and I got the O E or something like that and it was awesome. 10/10 recommend coming the service is awesome food is awesome and the music is so so so good! read more

I'm new to Eugene originally for Cali. Was looking for some yummy tacos and thought I wouldn't find something as good as back in Cali.

My go to spot and a place I tell everyone about. read more

Counter service with table drop offs are my jam! I was recommended the kale salad by my girlie and I went in just to try that but ended up trying 2 tacos also. Kale salad was one of a kind and if you are picky the bean and cheese taco was everything. So cute inside; theming was on point and also has a small bar. Cannot wait to go back and try the margaritas. read more

Tacovore is one of my go-to spots for tacos in Eugene. While the tacos can be a bit pricey, each one is a decent size and definitely satisfying. The place is almost always busy, and sometimes the line even stretches outside the door, which shows how popular it is. Their margaritas are delicious. I get one every time I go, and they never disappoint. One downside is the tiny parking lot. It's a hassle to get in and out, so I usually skip it and just street park. This time, I got the Carne Asada and the Old E, which were both delicious. They don't automatically give you salsa on the side, but you can go up and grab your own, which I actually like since there are a bunch of options to choose from. Not the best tacos I've ever had, but it definitely hits the spot when you're craving them. read more

Tacovore - Old e (Guero) & Carne Asada - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

A Eugene staple! They have lots of gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options! Most things on their menu are homemade including their horchata and corn tortillas. The chips, salsa, and guac are so good. My favorite tacos are the carnitas, the el e, and the bean and cheese. I always make sure to stop here when visiting! Lines can get long so try to get there before 5pm or after 7pm but if not they always go quick! I don't drink but people always tell me they have the best margaritas. read more

Been going there for years, always love it. Taco specials with seafood are great, guacamole is killer, so are the chips, agua frescas are wonderful, plus a really cool staff and affordable prices all make this place a winner. Flan, when they have it is delicious. Get there early for lunch as it is a very popular spot. read more

I visited Tacovore for a quick dinner on a Wednesday and was surprised by a short line to order. There can be a long line during busy times. I ordered the Herbivore taco which had fried asparagus; the seafood taco special containing a miso glazed rockfish; a cod taco from their regular menu; and an order of chips and salsa. I loved the fried asparagus taco and considered it the best overall. The cod was also delicious. The miso glazed rockfish with gochujang aioli was a little underwhelming. I think the lack of texture also contributed. For a special, it wasn't my favorite. I left quickly after I was finished as it was very loud despite only half the seating being filled. This is not a great environment for quiet conversations or for those hard of hearing. If you want great tried and true regular menu items and a quick meal, this is your place! Overall, I am a Tacovore fan but now that the weather is colder I will keep in mind the loud environment before I dine in. read more

Awe man! Was really looking forward to some good tacos today. Just moved here from SD, heard about this place from a few people and decided to check it out. The carne asada taco needs to be re evaluated and turned into a "smoked steak bbq taco" with bbq sauce, something pickled and slaw. The meat was SO smokey it didn't melt into traditional carne asada MX flavors. I can tell it was quality, but the flavors clashed in a major way. Overall, my main feedback is the tortillas. They were flavorless. I don't want to sound harsh, but the worst tortillas I think I've ever tasted. These masked the flavor of what was inside the taco instead of add to it. I got a fork and ate my chicken and shrimp tacos without the tortilla and the flavors/balance were there! Tortilla absolutely messed it up. Get a new corn tortilla, please. I'm sure your distributor has other options that would optimize your flavors instead of mask them. Service was great, waitress was lovely. Bathroom and decor was rough but I think that was the vibe. read more

Came here on my vacation, since it's my uncles favorite spot and the name sounds fun. We parked on the street since they have parking but it's limited. Once you walk in you immediately stand in line so start looking at the menu. You go up and order/pay for your food and then they give you a number and they bring your food and drinks (if it's beer or a mixed drink). You get your food and then you get to start enjoying it. The vibe of the place is modern...(I don't want to say hipster) but modern, small, fun place. They had modern music and had it playing at a great level so you could hear it and enjoy it but also have conversations. The food was great. I picked one taco of each. read more

Very nice spot for a casual lunch or dinner! We went for a family birthday. The employees were very kind and helpful and the food was great. My only complaint was that the calamari taco was really soggy, but the taste was good! Tacovore also has a great selection of different hot sauces. We had fun trying all of the different flavors. The pork was absolutely phenomenal, Probably some of the best I've ever had. The music made it a little hard to have a conversation if you were further down the table, but it is tolerable and at least they play good music. (I'm sure if you had a smaller group than we did and were at a shorter table. It really wouldn't affect conversation at all.) overall it's definitely a must go to place while in Eugene! read more

They cancelled even though I ordered while they were still open. I really have zero idea if how good or bad their food is

I'm really pissed off with Tacovore and their customer service. My wife and I went there today and sat at a table to look at the menu before ordering. That's when we saw a sign saying order first before sitting at a table. My wife has a disability and can't sit at high tables or stand for prolonged periods so I told her not to worry and I got in line to order (planned on ordering 6 tacos and some drinks). While I was in line a server came up to my wife and told her she can't sit at a table until we order. My wife told her about her disability and the server pointed at a bench by the door and said you can sit there until you order. She was so rude to my wife that she walked out crying. This is not ok and that rule is so stupid. What are elderly or people with disabilities supposed to do! Get your act together Tacovore! read more

My husband and I tried to go to lunch at Tacovore today because we had a rare afternoon alone together. Upon entering, we only were able to find high table seating on metal, backless stools and one low seater booth. I am physically unable to sit on those high stools due too balance issues because I have had Multiple Sclerosis for 16 years now. I may look " normal" while sitting still but my mobility and balance are an ongoing struggle in my life and has robbed me of so much. My husband got us waters then got in line when i noticed a sign on the table saying to please order before getting a table. My husband was already in line and ready to order and pay for our food. Less than a couple of minutes of me sitting there I was approached by a blonde staff member and she touched the table and asked me if I had someone in line to order. I replied that I did. She then told me that there's a long line building up and that I would need to leave the table because we hadn't yet placed an order. I explained to her that I am disabled ( even though I should not have to even do that ) and that I'm physically unable to sit at the high tables. That the only available low seats, inside and outside, were all taken other than this one booth. She then repeated what I had just told her and then asked again if I could only sit at the low tables, to which I replied yes. I was then told that I needed to leave the table and could go sit on a bench by the door and wait there and that the rules are for everyone regardless of the situation. I was so embarrassed and shocked that I started to tear up and told her that we would leave and went to motion to my husband that we had to go. As soon as we got to the car I started to cry and he was asking what was going on. He was so upset that he went inside to talk to the manager. He explained everything that happened and that I'm disabled and there was nowhere else for me to sit and eat. She apologized and said I could make a reservation to come back later for a low table. He told them no and that I was already embarrassed and crying. I'm trying to figure out how, since there was an open table that accommodated my needs and I was there, why this was such an issue. There was plenty of seating open but the tables were tall. What if there's another person unable to order for themselves because of a disability or they're elderly etc. ? Maybe make all tables low tables if a rule like that is being implemented? The business was happy to take our money but wouldn't give ea place to sit and eat. On a good note, we wound up going to Laughing Planet and had not only excellent service but really good food. I got the Korean BBQ Bowl with chicken, which they happily subbed for me, and it was so fresh and good. I really loved the quick pickles that came on it and would recommend it to anyone to try. read more

This is a much talked about taco place in Eugene and finally got to give it a try. Tacos are good. I would not say they are mind blowing and could use some more seasoning in their meat...but overall a solid option. I had the Carne Assad and ground beef taco (that one is a hard shell)...again both were satisfying but I wish a little more flavor popped. Their salsa bar has some good options...and the chips were tasty. I would stop certainly come back. read more

Been meaning to check them out for awhile and so glad we finally did! The ambience of this location is very lively and fun. Love the outdoor seating area. We got the Steak, Shrimp, Carnitas, Verde Mole, Carnivore, and one other one. They serve big tacos here. Full of protein on a fresh tortilla. The Carnitas and Shrimp were by far my favorite. Love the addition of madarin to the Carnitas. The Shrimp one was also very refreshing. We also tried the Chips and Guac and Chips and Salsas. The salsa was so tasty. Guac was also great, perfect with the crispy chips. Their hot sauces were delicious as well, so don't sleep on them! read more

Unfriendly condescending staff. Also insanely overpriced. Best part is the salsas to smother the tacos in... they need it... Unfortunately, the food didn't redeem the experience with the deplorable staff. The tacos are overpriced and definitely not authentic. The tortillas were so weak that they literally couldn't hold the taco together... the moment you pick it up, everything falls through and you end up eating the filling with chips because the tortilla just breaks apart. A taco shouldn't fall apart before you even take a bite. read more

Great place for tacos in the Whit. Soft shell, a little bigger than a small street taco. The corn tortilla itself is nothing special, a little on the dry side. But the choice of tacos is amazing and gets them 5 stars. From multiple vegan options like sweet potato and bean, crispy tofu, and many others to the more tradional ones like carne asada. The smoked carne asada was absolutely devine. The crispy tofu was tasty but would be better if it was fried in smaller pieces instead of one big log of tofu. First you order, then you get a table and they bring it out to you. The chips and salsa was good, the guacamole with nice big chunks of avocado. Parking is always a challenge in the Whit in a busy day but they have about 8 places right in front of the restaurant and I was able to snag one during Saturday lunch time... always feels like a small victory. read more
