If zero stars were an option, Taco Vore would earn it with flying, filth-ridden colors. My recent experience here wasn't just disappointing; it was genuinely stomach-churning and indicative of a complete disregard for basic public health standards. I attempted to use the restroom, and the state of it was frankly alarming—far beyond "busy-day dirty," this was a health code violation waiting to happen. However, the real disaster was the management's attitude. When I brought the disgusting state of the facilities to the manager’s attention, their response was the most unprofessional and baffling interaction I have ever had at a restaurant. I was told, and I quote, they "knew their bathrooms were dirty" and that they "did the best they could" while being fully "aware of the problem." But wait, it gets worse. When I expressed my discomfort with eating at a place where management openly admits to knowingly maintaining unsanitary conditions, I was coolly informed that I was "welcome not to eat there." Let that sink in: The manager of a food service establishment admitted they knew they were operating with a hygiene problem and essentially told a customer who complained to leave. This isn't a customer service problem; it's a profound management, sanitation, and safety failure. If management is perfectly fine with a biohazard in the public area, I shudder to think what corners are being cut in the kitchen. Save your money, save your appetite, and save yourself a trip to the local health department. Avoid Taco Vore. Recommendation: Close this location until management is replaced and a professional cleaning and sanitation protocol is established.

We go out of our way when in Eugene, OR to eat at Tacovore. Flavor wise, the tacos are second to none and the pricing is also super reasonable. Can not beat a carne asada taco and a cold beer at Tacovore!

Been here several times, trendy Eugene area, but vegan options not marked on menu, and only pretty good. If, as a vegan, you end up here, you do have some good options. I like the chili. Not a hearty chili, but good. Salsas are a plus, but overall not a great option.

The food is amazing and the vegan options are great, the crispy tofu taco is amazing. Highly recommend!

Nice variety of tacos and drinks. The tacos that we had were full of meat and guacamole. My mango margarita was outstanding. You walk in and order then find a table. Food and drinks are delivered.

Tacos are good guacamole tasted like it came out of a bag, and the margaritas are solid.

If you would be happy as a tacovore, then this is the restaurant for you! Some of the best tacos ever! And the partially enclosed back patio featuring picnic tables with greenery and flowers along the walls and roof made it feel as if we were in a tropical location-but we were in the city in Oregon!

The flavor pops on all the tacos I chose. I got shrimp taco, seafood taco and carnitas taco. All were very delicious. I loved the shrimp taco the best. I highly recommend this place. The service was very good. Friendly staff and didn't have to wait long for food. They also serve beer and other drinks. The decor is very cool and the lights are dim which makes the atmosphere very calm and chill. I will definitely return here!
Quite possibly the best margarita I’ve had while living in Oregon. Excellent food, kind workers, great outdoor dining space.

This place never disappoints. I have brought about every person I know here and every time we leave happy and full. If I could eat here everyday I would. I have waited in a 45 min line for two tacos from this place. I wish I could give it 10 stars.

Guacomole was fresh. Herbivore squash taco, Mole Verde, Chicken tacos were delicious. The restaurant was casual and fun. The food came quickly. The prices were good - an excellent value. The agua fresca mango & lime was very tasty. We sat outside. It was a pleasant meal.

This is our safe choice when getting together with a large group because they have meat, fish, veg, and tofu/tempeh and have never failed to get our order right. If you have allergies, dietary needs this is one of the safe choices in Eugene. Also plenty of seating and bathrooms. Even when lines are long and slow, we always manage to find seats. Fillings are overall clean, haven't had warmed over chicken or pork here, fish specials can be fishy but still not ever too bad. Tortillas are dinner plates so not a fan but you can't have everything. We used to frequent for a quick afternoon bite but stopped going mainly bc the fillings went from decent to scant. For the past year or so, every time we get fish tacos, the fish is the size of a fish stick or one of our fingers. Reminds me of Lulu's in Palo Alto/Los Altos, CA but possibly even bigger tortillas and much smaller portions. Good to know: they do take a long time, even when not crowded. So dont go when you are in a hurry. Drinks come out immediately so if you come on an empty stomach, wait to order that jalapeno margarita until you get your food. Even if table seems clean, do check your seats before sitting down for taco debris, have sat down in wet pickled onion/cabbage etc. Staff is always nice, but if there are rowdy patrons or large dogs indoor lunging at your basket of tacos, dont expect them to police. If you sit outdoors, know that dogs have been on the tabletops.

I've been here a lot and never had a bad experience. Great customer service and great food. I highly recommend the margaritas and torta. There is usually a line to get in, but worth the wait.
