I have eaten here several times... service is always good. Sometimes a bit slow if they are busy...
Food is pretty good... pretty basic Mexican good, and a large menu too. I have not tried their margaritas yet... need to do that.
I have had the Carne Asada, the Chile Rellenos plate (pictured), and several of the enchilada plates here. All good, if not inspired.
Worth a visit, if you like Mexican food. I have not found any place better to date here in Eugene, but will keep looking!

Ordered 6 street tacos, 3 without onion and cilantro due to an allergy. All 6 had onion and cilantro.

I wasted a $20 Lyft to get here because they advertised that they were open until 9pm and they were closed. There goes $20 dollars. Not okay

BEST Mexican food in Eugene with vegetarian options. Super fair pricing. I'm from Texas so my standards for Mexican food are high, and this is one of the few places in town that exceeded my expectations for authentic food. Don't sleep on this restaurant!

one of the best mexican restaurants in town! the salsa is made fresh daily, i had the mild and it was very flavorful. delicious carne asada quesadilla. the staff was courteous and prompt, such excellent hospitality!
my only concern is the accessibility of the front door. there is an elevated walkway (approximately 4 inches tall) to get to the door, and the door does not open all the way. this leaves very little room for wheelchair and power chair users to enter. very risky, coming within 1-2 inches of falling off and getting possibly injured. my recommendation is to have the door open the opposite direction, against the window, for improved safety.
i love it and i will bring my friends here!!!

Tio Pepe Mexican Restaurant: A Consistent Favorite in Eugene
For the past year and a half, Tio Pepe Mexican Restaurant has been our go-to spot in Eugene, and they've consistently impressed us. The dedicated staff, many of whom seem to be long-standing members of the team, are always hustling, yet remain remarkably attentive to every diner.
Having explored most of the menu across our visits, it's tough to pick a single standout, but the Chile Colorado is a personal favorite. That said, their fajitas are also a delicious choice for when I'm in the mood for something different.
Portion sizes at Tio Pepe are just right – generously sized for the price, ensuring you either leave completely satisfied or with enough leftovers to enjoy later. It's clear why Tio Pepe has become such a reliable and enjoyable dining experience for us.

We arrived as a group of 4 and were quickly seated. The atmosphere was lively and the food delicious. Definitely a local favorite and for good reason. Stop on in and give it a try.

Good food and drinks for a good price! I got the tequila sunrise with hf orange juice and half soda and it was delicious! The tequitos were good too
I grew up in Arizona. I love the style of Mexican food that was common in Arizona. I believe it's Sonoran style. Tio Pepes really hits home! They are as good as my favorite Mexican restaurants in Tucson. Super comfy and cozy atmosphere, super yummy food, great portions, and great staff.

This is hands down the best Mexican food I’ve had in Eugene—aside from my coworker’s home cooking! Everything is always hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The salsa is incredible, and they actually offer a spicy one that delivers. The drinks are immaculate, and the service is top tier every time.
My only minor gripes are that the parking can be tight and the space inside feels a bit cramped. But honestly, those are small trade-offs for food this good. Absolutely a must-try spot!

Just had carne asada burrito and a cup of coffee, waited 20 min to get the food not an issue with that as they had a large group in another room. What I do have an issue with and will not be back is that the beef was spoiled, and it was cold. I took two bites and waited 10 minutes for a person to speak too I told them it was cold and the response was we will heat it up for you. I ask for the check I was charged for the cold burrito but not the coffee. I paid and left. I would strongly recommend checking the holding temperature of the food before serving it and tasting it.
