This place is amazing... 10 out of 10! We got the sopes, the mushroom quesadilla, fish tacos, the huaraches Would recommend all! I can't wait to go back.

The best Mexican food in Eugene hands down! So flavorful with beautiful presentations, and fresh tortillas made to order! A wonderful family from Mexico City runs this cart as well. Couldn’t recommend it more highly????

Easily the best tacos in town! Everything is fresh and so full of flavor. Their varied salsas are fantastic. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!!

Amazingly fresh and flavourful food!! Super unique options too. I had the Huaraches with scrambled eggs and Carnitas and it was perfect, and not too small. Eggs weren't runny which I appreciate and the carnitas were crispy, juicy goodness. The guy working it was also really friendly and helpful. He was clearly proud of their food. This block of carts deserves a shack for wind protection though.

Truly kind and passionate people here bringing the best of what they know (Mexico City street food) with minimal frills or catering to the American palate. Absolutely mind-blowingly delicious. Coming from the Bay Area, I’d like to think my taco experience is better than most, and El Noplito serves up some of the very finest I’ve ever had.

By far the best authentic Mexican food I've ever had. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The food is spectacular, great prices, kind and talented chefs, unique menu items, the best salsas. This place is an absolute treasure in every way!
This seems to be the newest taco truck, though calling them simply a taco truck seems reductive, in Eugene and they are already positioning themselves as a go-to with little to no true competition in the area.The daily specials are intriguing, but for our first visit, my wife and I stuck to tacos (one each of carne asada, al pastor, and carnitas—next time, I’ll be early to get the cochinita pibil) and a pambazo with tinga de pollo at the recommendation of the chef. For the uninitiated, without splitting hairs or attempting to strictly define it, a pambazo seems similar to a torta or cemita, with the main difference appearing to be that the pambazo’s bread is dipped in a guajillo sauce whereas the others are dry.While I could go into great detail about all our food, the real star of the show was the freshly handmade-to-order tortillas. They were warm and perfectly chewy—standing up to the filling while providing a pleasant mouthfeel.Although the tortillas were the star for me, the meats in the tacos and pambazo were well-seasoned and flavorful (not to be confused with seasoned); the salsa’s were fresh and appropriately spicy without being overwhelming; and the bread for the pambazo was light without getting soggy.There will no doubt be growing pains and plenty of kinks to work out—good thing they opened the time of year they did…they won’t have time to address much when they really get going as the weather clears up—but this is my front runner for Best of Eugene and I suggest you run, not walk, there at your earliest convenience.

Saturdays El Nopalito offers specials which are true masterpieces. The specials are always delicious and served with an elegant presentation. This place is really fantastic, serving fresh made from scratch meals no matter what the weather is like outside. The covered area is perfect.

Been here once so far and enjoyed their Chile Relleno special and tacos. Will definitely come back to try their other items. Several foodie friends recommended this place and they did not disappoint!

Amazing homemade Mexican foods.Chochinitas Pibil and Carnitas were so incredibly flavored and juicy. Generous portions. Everything is homemade- tortillas, sopes, salsas- all are delicious! Super friendly proprietors, too. Apparently they run a variety of specials on the weekends. Can’t wait to try more!
