50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Eugene

“Super service and food! Great music!!! Reminds me of Miami!“

“First time having Birria ramen! Was amazing!!“

“I love this eatery. It reminds me of places you can find when traveling the globe off the beaten path. These folks make great food and are a friendly family. I lived in Mexico for 2 years and this is Authentic to the core. Tired of the Taco Times, Burrito Boys, and Tacovore's plastic caste replica of Mexican dining? You should eat here. I would eat 3 meals a day here every day for the rest of my life if I could.“

“Mannnn oh man . Miss the tacos in Mexico? The music? The atmosphere? Say no more. Welcome El Nopalito. The best tacos I have ever had. Most places when they say handmade tortillas, they are dry, feels like a regular stale taco. Not here the hand made corn tortillas here melt away in your mouth, but sturdy enough to hold, flavorful, tender addictive meat that they serve. Try any dish try any taco!“

“Everything we’ve had at Taco Mogo has been so good. And the prices are really reasonable. I really like the Mexican/Korean infusion, great combo of flavors!“

“Amazing homemade food and friendly and quick service.“

“I was introduced to Fresh & Natural by my coworkers. I saw them having food delivered almost every day from the same place and had to ask them where it was from. They were totally surprised I hadn’t heard of Fresh & Natural. They explained it was a family owned and operated small business they have been frequenting for years. The first item I selected to try was a breakfast burrito (even if it was for lunch, who doesn’t love breakfast for lunch of dinner?). Now, I’m used to ordering a breakfast burrito and getting a huge tortilla filled with far more food than I could eat in one sitting. I was pleasantly surprised when I was handed a normal-sized burrito, but thought it looked a little on the small side. After finishing the burrito, I was surprised how nicely full I was, but not overfilled. The content and quality of everything was great and perfectly filled me for the rest of the work day. Next up was a simple bean and cheese burrito. I’ve found that over the years there are two types of bean and cheese burritos, whole pinto bean and refried. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out they used whole pinto beans, as I find them more flavorful and far less greasy. I did make the mistake of ordering a regular (I only order the small size now) sized the first time, and it was enormous. It was incredibly flavorful, the cheese was melted perfectly and once gain, everything tasted fresh and filling. Unless you want enough food for a couple of meals, go for the small the first time at least! The final item I frequently order is the chicken quesadilla. This is definitely my favorite most of the time. I find it to be the perfect amount of food for a lunch when I’m on the more hungry side. The quesadilla comes with some nicely seasoned chicken, melted cheese on a grilled tortilla. It is cut into multiple pieces and comes with guac, sour cream and salsa. If I’m not really hungry, it may be too much for lunch, but a leftover quesadilla is never a bad thing! We joke at work that all the food tastes so “fresh and natural” as we don’t feel “gut bombed” no matter how much we eat of there food. I think that is a testament to high quality ingredients combined with talented and trained staff who obviously know how to cook. If you haven’t tried Fresh & Natural, put it on your list!“

“Delicious food. The kind of place that a week later your body will begin to crave eating there again and the cravings won’t stop until they’re satisfied with a return visit. Warning: your clothes and your hair will stink like grease and oil when you leave so don’t wear your fancy clothes to eat here because you’ll be on the hook for dry cleaning and in desperate need of a shower after your meal. You’ll definitely have to wash your hair to get the stink out. Worth it though.“

“So ive been here a handful of times now and i recently started to watch my macros. I asked for a change on a item and they oblidged. Ive never had a bad experience and after today i will always support them. Usually at different establishment i get the stink eye or a huge upcharge and they never blink an eye here. The portions are great and the flavor is top notch. The service is always amazing too thank you to the front and back of house staff for every great meal.“

“I love this gem! Food is always fresh and tastes great. Customer service is top tier! Ask for Rosa when ordering 😊 she will provide excellent service. The burritos & tacos are my favorite.“

“Very fast, very good food. Literally, the best breakfast burritos in town. Taco salads also amazing. best quesodillas i have ever had. best Mexican food cart in eugene.“

“I love a good bean! A good Pinto Bean. You won't find a bean cooked with more love anywhere else!! Been lookin for 68yrs! I'm not a rookie!!“

“Best burritos in town! Friendly, thoughtful and kind service as well! ❤️“

“I always thought this place looked like a silly white-person “Mexican” restaurant, but that impression was totally false! The food is delicious, and the service is always good. It’s so rare to find a restaurant in this town where the employees are consistently polite. But I’ve been here several times, and I’ve always had a good experience. Love it!“

“Great authentic Mexican food especially if you look for their specials, their chicken mole is the best I’ve had in the US, I love the huevos ranchero… simple yet perfect, and their chile verde is one of the best plates of food I have eaten.“

“Delicious food, friendly service, lovely experience every time!“

“I've eaten and produced THOUSANDS is veggie burritos. Theirs takes the cake. My day is always better after one. They always seem just as happy to see me, even though theres no way that's possible. Thanks Dos Banderas!!!!“

“Arturo and Margarita run an amazing eatery! Every dish I've ordered has been perfect, every time. Whether you're in the mood for quesabirria, an easy burrito or Arturo's Special, excellent quality, fair pricing, and great people to support! Don't overlook Lonches“

“Stopped here on a day that El Super Burrito was closed, and very glad I did! Best burrito I've had in Eugene. Had an amazing al pastor burrito, meat perfectly seasoned and right spice level. Would add a 6th star if they had homemade salsas instead of packaged hot sauce bottles. Or if they had some good vegetarian options. And they sell assorted well priced dry goods on site too.“

“One of the better places for Oaxacan in 'Eugene'. We usually go with tacos, which can be inconsistent but reliably decent. For example Al pastor used to be fatty, salty, and lots of orange oil, now it's more dry and tastes like pork loin, dialed back the salt which we appreciate. Tlayuda is huge, I ordered for only myself, and could only eat a quarter. Am used to more fresh toppings in Cali but you do get lots of meat, cheese, and bean spread. Good to know: place sometimes closes with a paper in front of the food truck saying they took the day off. If you aren't in the 'hood, call before you make the trip. Bring extra napkins of your own as tacos at least can be messy eating. We find it tiresome to have to ask repeatedly for sauce and napkins, no matter how much food you order he wants to give you one napkin and 1 tiny sauce cup. Regarding friendly neighborhood pod, its a nice mostly outdoor space with a small covered seating area inside. We usually go early so we can get a table inside as outside seating at least during summer has lots of bees. We had to get our food to-go and leave midway last time due to 10+ bees swarming/crawling in our food (they love Mexican? or there is lots of sugar in the food?)“

“I’ve never had a less-than-outstanding experience at Nelson’s. The people are awesome, the atmosphere is nice and the food is the best in the area, in my opinion.“

“Amazing food and friendly staff. This is my favorite Mexican Restaurant.“

“I’ve been eating here for 20 years. It’s still so good. The food is always solid, I love the salad in the chip bowl, and everyone is super friendly. They gave our daughter a small sample of tofu to see if she liked it without being asked. It’s just always a great, quick, consistent restaurant.“

“Amazing place, the food is always good.“

“after 30 years in New Mexico i thought i would never find a good Mex restaurant in Eugene. My prayers have been answered. Everything on the menu is fabulous. This is my fav eugene restaurant. LOVE IT!!!!!!“

“After today, I will never visit you again. no bags, tiny little food trays. And your portions suck, I paid $2.50 for 2 small spoon fulls of rice, the container is the size of a 50 cent peice. NEVER AGAIN. I'm the customer that was ordering 20 pupusas at a time. Your food is not worth it.“

“Ok. So I’m rating this on 3 items, so take it for what it is. I ordered the fiesta bowl and it was excellent! The bowl was packed, layered and yummy with the carnitas! 5 stars! I ordered the chips and they were a bit stale… but the salsa was good.

My wife ordered the Caesar wrap and was disappointed. Lots of lettuce and wrap, not much else! I tried it and the dressing was good but it’s was a lot of wrap and lettuce… We will be back but probably won’t get the wrap. I’ll probably give the chips another try and the wet burrito looked amazing.“

“My 1st time here. The woman behind the counter was super nice & helpful. She explained about the differences in meats (I didn't know the difference!) & let me try some samples of them & their hot sauces! I got Lingua tacos for the 1st time. Very tasty. Thank you for ur kind & excellent service. I will be back for sure & will spread the word to my friends!!!“

“Man, I've gone to mucho gusto restaraunts like 4 times in total over the course of my life, and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I get a burrito and I LOVE it! I don't know what kind of crack magic you put in your ingredients, but it's amazing! Qdobas and Chipotle are similar style restaraunts in that they do the assembly line thing, and I love Qdoba, too, but Much Gusto is by far my favorite.
Keep up the good work!“

“Food was great. Had the crisp burritos both meat and chicken, excellent! The house made hot sauce was perfect for dipping. Fish taco was very flavorful, a little extra of their sauce on the side really put it over the top! Tots and crisps with cinnamon and sugar also very good. Service was very friendly and on point.“

“We had lunch there yesterday afternoon. A song kept repeating and we let them know and they changed the song which was met be an audible “awww man” from the kitchen staff. The song was “oye oye oye.” Fun energy. Food was good.“

“Really good. I would put it in my top 5 Hispanic food trucks in town. It’s easy to drive by because it’s just in a pretty empty parking lot but the food was good (chili verde burrito). It’s pretty standard price for the same things but it tasted really good and authentic. The person who helped me was also really friendly and gave solid suggestions even though I one what I wanted. Definitely check them out if you are ever in the mood for a food truck. 🔥“

“My favorite taco truck! The tacos are always great, they have never disappointed me.
I have tried most things on the menu and all of them were tasty. There's no bad choices here.
Prices are great for the quality and portions you get. these aren't weak tacos, they are hearty
The guys that work the truck doa good job of keeping the food going out, even when it's busy.

I gave the atmosphere 5 stars because I'm judging it as a taco truck, not comparing. it to a 5 star restaurant in my baby am it's always super clean and neat.
The only thing I don't like about it that it closes after lunch. It needs to be 24 hours! lol I'm kidding- but it * would* be awesome to eat these tacos at 4am“

“Jake C was awesome this morning filling our lunch order. Thanks Jake!“

“The food and service was amazing! Truly authentic Mexican food.“

“Always friendly and great food!“

“We always enjoy lunch or dinner at Super Taco! Every employee we've seen is so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, which is a huge plus for someone with allergies. I had the quesabirria tacos tonight. They were incredible! I'm not a cilantro person and forgot to get it without, but the sauce was so good not even cilantro could ruin it!!“

“Hands down the best taco truck in the Eugene area!
Everything is made fresh day of!
The owners are a cute young couple just giving back to the community with some authentic Mexican food!!!
I personally LOVE the torta! (Pro tip, get the green chilis) it makes it POP!!
I wish I could seriously give more starts because it was hands down the best experience and they are so friendly there!
You can tell they have passion for their food truck because the FOOD TALKS FOR IT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Rocys! We all LOVED the food we will be back for more since we frequent the river road area!“

“Amazing burritos and quesadillas and tostadas and tortes and some bomb hot coco“

“Had breakfast burritos this morning. They are the best I've had. Superb.“

“very good food with quick and friendly service“

“The owners are the most generous sweet people! Every person that works here is so incredible! They treat you like family here! My family and I have been coming here for almost 20 years. WE WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE! THE FOOD IS AUTHENTIC AND DELICIOUS, WHILE YOU GET VERY GENEROUS PORTIONS. At GREAT PRICES! COME HERE YOU WONT LEAVE DISAPPOINTED!“

“It's the best chicken in Eugene.“

“Good food, fast service everything was fresh and hot“

“Good food. Unfortunately, we asked for stuffed Mexi fries and got plain tater tots instead, and nobody realized until we were back on beltline. 3 orders, all of them tots instead of mexi fries. The rest of the food was great. The tots were good too, but not what we ordered.“

“If you want the best authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices, you have found your spot. Excellent service, and friendly staff. Chapala needs to be on your list to check out.“

“Excelente servicio la comida tiene un sabor sabroso 😋“

“Myra, the owner of Burrito Girl, has been feeding me for years now. Her food is so fresh and delicious. Her beans and rice are the very best and organic, too! Really, everything is amazing. Support this wonderful small and local business owner. Text the order in and she’ll have it ready super fast. 💜💜💜“

“wonderful, consistent food! Alway's wonderful!“
