El Padrino is known for its amazing, phenomenal tacos like pastor and chorizo. Despite limited condiments, the tacos are some of the best, according to reviews. Many visitors say it is one of the best places in town for tacos, with consistently delicious food and friendly service. The smell of the pork often attracts families, and the pork tacos are especially loved, offering a taste of real Mexican street tacos. The trompo tacos are considered some of the best in Salem, and the suadero is also highly praised. The restaurant is open at 5:00 pm most days, closed on Tuesdays, and can get busy, leading to slightly long waits at times. Located by the side of the road, it can be a bit dusty due to wind, but overall, it remains a must-visit spot, even worth a drive from Eugene for their delicious quesadillas.
