    Carnitas and Chicken
    Aimee W.

    Today was all about Carnitas. I was craving that smoky and spicy treat with a burst of citrus and refreshing crunch of jicama. The restaurant was bustling with the weekend crowd but as alway, the service was efficient. There is e

    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!

    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.

    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. This place beat my expectations, staff so friendly, food fresh with so many different options for everyone. The tempeh, blackened salmon, cod are my favorite!! The Jamaica is so refreshing! My go to spot and a place I tell everyone about.

    We are new visitors to Eugene. Tacovore was on everyone's list of recommendations. The blackened salmon taco on the specials menu and the carnitas taco on the regular menu were delicious. The ceviche and chips and salsa were a big hit for the table and I loved the spicy margarita!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Tacovore

    Are the vegetarian/vegan options?

    They do have both! And some extra just ask them :) so deelish!

    Do they have Taco Tuesday? (discount?)

    They do have a happy hour! Happy hour is from 3-6pm every day and you get 50¢ off of tacos and 1$ off margaritas, draft beers, and tortas!

    How is the michelada made here?

    made fresh. I talked to the head chef nothing is from a can and they rarely used ingredients from a can.

    Are there vegan options?

    Yes, they offer a variety of vegetarian and vegan options. They have rotating specials which also have vegetarian options. I am allergic to dairy so I often order the vegetarian options without cheese or sour cream.

The decor feels arbitrary and hasn't grown in the 3 years between my visits. The bartop is tiny despite plenty of wide open space in the venue, adding to that empty feeling. But it's the only tiki bar for miles and it has a unique tiki + horror theme that I appreciate: emphasizing creepy mugs, playing vintage Godzilla on the TV, and a collection of drinks named after monsters. They also have custom mugs for sale, which is always awesome to see. My partner enjoyed her Chinese Mai Tai, but my Bride of Frankenstein tasted like light cream. The service was good. They were professional and personable and bantered well with everyone around the bar. There seemed to be plenty of regulars making the rounds in the early afternoon. So if you're in Eugene and want a tiki drink, this is the place to go.

He sorted me out pretty quickly and then I faced my next wonderful obstacle: an amazing concession stand with a very understanding vendor who had two different kinds of kombucha on tap, chilled brut rosé, several beers ranging from a Pilsner to a stout, several kinds of wine including Pinot noir and Cabernet Savignon, popcorn with real butter, frozen junior mints, whoppers, peanut M&Ms... everything good was there. Give yourself a few extra minutes to decide what you want to nosh on -- just don't pass up such a great selection. The movie was showing in theater B which was across the courtyard, really lovely few steps between buildings. The chairs were very comfortable inside theater to B and the drink holders wide enough to hold the mason jar that my kombucha came in. Yep a real glass -- none of the paper or plastic stuff -- love that. But maybe the best part was the audience who was clearly queuing to many of the lines and laughed at all the right places. The vibe was a lot like a familiarity that you encounter when you watch the Rocky horror picture show: lots of audience knowledge and appreciation expressed throughout the film, which made the movie even better.

The Skybar is located on the 5th floor of the building along with the Hotel lobby... uh okay. The staff are all very pleasant and accommodating. We went to the SkyBar and found it to be a smallish yet convenient place to wait for guests or visitors along with getting a drink or a bite to eat. The bar looks like it can accommodate about 30 people in the interior. There is a nice outdoor patio that can easily accommodate more when the weather is nice. The barkeeper was very attentive and observant, he took our food and drink requests at the bar and in short order, everything was presented. I had a Moscow Mule that I found to be a refreshing drink. Ginger beer, lime and vodka. An excellent combination. I also had an order of the chicken wings and fries. The fries were a normal shoestring variety, cooked well, nicely salted and came in a metal bowl. The wings I found to be outstanding! I don't usually get wings this well made unless I do it myself. I received 8 wings coated with barbecue sauce on a charcuterie board with the fries. The wings were served nicely hot. The meat was piping hot, juicy and tender. The barbecue coating was a hearty middle of the road sauce, not sweet or too smoky. It was caramelized perfectly for that sticky texture and flavor. Definitely a nice coating. Thankfully the bartender brought us a lot of napkins. The wings and fries made for a satisfying meal. The bar boasts a couple of gas fireplaces that make for a warming environment with a few semi private tables. There is a longer table for a larger group as well as several smaller tables and a few bar stools for game watching. All in all we found the bar to be a cozy semi-private environment, yet available to the guests as they come and go. All around, a nice meeting area and watering hole. We will book our family members for a stay here at the hotel. I'm looking forward to trying more of their specialty drinks.
