50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Eugene

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

“Amazing homemade food and friendly and quick service.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“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!!!!“

“The food is crafted with care, and it's absolutely delicious. I haven't ordered a single item that I didn't love. Elotes were on the special menu tonight, 10/10. I can't wait to come back again and we are lucky to have this place in Eugene!
My only suggestion for improvement (which has nothing to do with the food or service) is about the lighting. The overhead lighting is bright, and doesn't lend to the cozy vibe that the rest of the decor is obviously striving for. This is especially impactful in the evening.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I ordered 5 pupusas for my partner and I. 3 were mixed and 2 were chicken. They were delightful, delicious and consistent.

I’m no expert on pupusas but I believe they could have a little more filling in them but still very worth it to me.

I also really enjoyed the hot sauce / salsa that came with it. It was actually hot for once. Not watered down to cater to the folks that can’t handle heat.

I highly recommend!“

“Drinks, food, service, and atmosphere were beyond great! Julie was our server and ensured that our needs were kindly taken care of. Definitely will be going back next time we’re in town! A lovely family owned restaurant you don’t want to pass up when in Eugene.“

“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. 🔥“

“Spectacular place to eat with family, friends, your couple, the best Margaritas in all Eugene !! By faaarr 💜💜“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

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

“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!!!!!!“

“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?)“

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

“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. 💜💜💜“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“The food truck is located behind Play, the food was super fresh and delicious and they were helpful and friendly!
Play had a band playing that lacked skill but made up for it in volume, so the atmosphere wasn't the best, but that was no fault of the food truck. There are clean benches to sit at.“

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

“One of the best breakfast burritos I've had in Eugene/Springfield. Their salsa - green and red - are both phenomenal. So much flavor. The burrito was not dry like many other breakfast burritos. Excellent food. Excellent service. Husband and wife owner/operator for over 35 years! I'll be back for sure!“

“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“

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

“We went here for my birthday dinner. We had steak tacos, taco salad and mole chicken. The steak was very tender the mole was exceptionally great and the taco salad was incredible. We all agreed that the fresh squeezed margaritas were the best in town. Our service was incredible!! We will definitely be back!!“

“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!“

“A delightful hidden gem! I didn't have high expectations going in as my partner and I chose this place at random passing by after being stuck in traffic (and it's topped by a dubious looking dive bar.) We were pleasantly surprised at the cozy atmosphere and it features some great old school murals that you just don't get with hip eateries these days.

The staff was charming and helpful. I could tell that everyone took great pride in what they were serving as our waiter lovingly described the way they infuse tequila with jalapenos and pineapple for their spicy margaritas.

We went basic and got a fajita trio and the food was sizzling delicious and generous in portions.

This place is slept on!“

“George and Donna are wonderful people. The atmosphereis right out of the 50's. The food is excellent and the portions are huge for the price. Breakfast and coffee was under $8. Bring cash, credit and debit cards are not accepted just like in the 50's!“

“very good food with quick and friendly service“

“Chi is a great cook and very nice“

“It's the best chicken in Eugene.“
