50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Eugene

“multiple choices, generous portions, multiple flavors and salsas, great service, excellent food!“

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

“I had a fish taco (freshly grilled tilapia, not just some frozen fish stick) and a chorizo taco. My daughter had a carne asada taco and a marinated pork taco. They were some of the best tacos we've had. Service was friendly and fast. The salsa that came with our chips was lovely.“

“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.“

“Delicious food. The kind of place that a week later your body will begin to crave eating there again and the cravings won’t stop until they’re satisfied with a return visit. Warning: your clothes and your hair will stink like grease and oil when you leave so don’t wear your fancy clothes to eat here because you’ll be on the hook for dry cleaning and in desperate need of a shower after your meal. You’ll definitely have to wash your hair to get the stink out. Worth it though.“

“I used Taco Mogo for an event and everybody loved the food. One of the sauces has a Korean flair to it so you gotta love that. Everything is fresh including the taco bowls and they even have banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches). Another crowd pleaser! The owner and staff are super friendly! Thank you everybody. Appreciate all that you do“

“This little food cart has great food and very friendly service. It's located in the Whittaker neighborhood right across the street from Ninkasi's tasting room. They have Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc. All of the meals I've had from here have been fresh, hot, and tasty. Prices are fair, especially for the freshness and quality of the food.

Parking: It's in a neighborhood, so street parking within walking distance is the best option.“

“Thank you for great customer service. The gals working today on 9/17 raised my spirits just because they had a great attitude and seemed happy to be there. Keep doing what your doing. It's hard to find great customer service and it makes the food taste even better!“

“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!!!!“

“Good menu options, fresh handmade tortillas, variety of homemade salsa. Meat market has a huge selection of meat and fresh produce, bakery is top notch as well!“

“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.“

“This place is the bomb. I am a football linemen, this place right here is the spot for a big burrito for 9 bucks that will fill you up. It’s an inflation proof meal. The food is fresh, authentic and delicious. My favorite is the fish burrito with green sauce.

If you are coming out of the gym and need some protein pop over to El Jaguar they will get you right.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I grew up going here and havent been here in years, went in today with my family and it was so nostalgic, the gentleman who took our order was super sweet enthusiastic and amazing service! Our food came out quickly and it was super yummy! Very spicy but i loved 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?)“

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

“Amazing place, the food is always good.“

“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.“

“Great traditional cocktails and adult beverages“

“I personally have not eaten here, but picked up food from here for my niece since she just had a baby. She liked it so much, she called and asked where we got the food because they loved the food so much. For that, they get 5 stars. I can't wait to eat there.“

“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!!“

“Wow, this place hit all the boxes for me! I honestly walked over this way to try and get Chinese for lunch, but they didn't open til 5, so instead, I came here, and I'm so glad I did! You can't beat a 10 dollar burrito 😋 Delicious Al pastor, and plenty off it along with creamy beams, cheese, and sour cream. All with the right proportions! I'm truly grateful for this place being so friendly and reasonable with the current state of the world. Thanks for serving up quality/Delicious food!“

“Make sure you go when the white truck is out. I've had not as good of an experience with the all black truck.

We first stopped for 6 tacos and then stopped again for 6 more on the way home. Grand total, not including tip, was $28. Some tacos were $2 each, and the legua was $3 each.“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!“

“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!!!“

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

“Always friendly and great food!“

“It's the best chicken in Eugene.“

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

“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!“

“The food here is very, very scrumptious¡ I think its delicious. I only gave the food a 4 cuz I know a better place with cheaper food!! I did bu e dinner platters each with tamale, taco & enchilada, beans and rice.i couldn't tell the enchilada from the tamale. I make tamales alot so this seemed different. Love the atmosphere reminded me of my Grandma's house. Nice environment“

“very good food with quick and friendly service“

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

“This was our first time Mezcaluna and we'll definitely come back. We were a group of 5 seated at a large booth. We arrived at different times and they sat us when the first guest showed up which we really appreciated. Service was friendly and fast, everyone liked their food. The restaurant was extremely busy due to UO family weekend. Highly recommended.“

“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!!“

“My wife and I left Oregon 5 years ago and we have never found a burrito place that even compared. We have lived in 6 states in that time and no one compares this is the best burrito place in the world“

“Excelente servicio la comida tiene un sabor sabroso 😋“

“Their food is fresh and their prices are great! They try to locally source every time they can. I love their food and I think they're the best fast food Mexican place anywhere in town! Oh and the service is always awesome!“

“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. 💜💜💜“

“Order ahead of your able because these guys are Busy! Only open Monday thru Friday. A coworker bought me a burrito for lunch and it was amazing. There is a small enclosed covered area with tables and chairs to enjoy your food right away. They also offer Coke Cola, Jarritos and water. *Edit* I did not order ahead and they were super quick with my nachos today“

“Good food. Unfortunately, we asked for stuffed Mexi fries and got plain tater tots instead, and nobody realized until we were back on beltline. 3 orders, all of them tots instead of mexi fries. The rest of the food was great. The tots were good too, but not what we ordered.“

“Not fancy, but tasty, quick, and polite. My favorite so far is the stuffed poblano burrito, and then add chicken. I like spicy, but the green sauce is my choice regardless!

Parking: 12 spots across the front, plus another five on the side, a couple other spaces in back. When its busy, it's hard to park at the door.“

“Ordered in so I can’t speak to the service but the food was fabulous. A little pricey when ordering delivery - I suspect it’s more affordable in person. Even so, really good and will order again. Thank you!! 🫶🏼 I haven’t had good pupusas since I was back home in San Diego a few years ago. Thank you!“

“If you want the best authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices, you have found your spot. Excellent service, and friendly staff. Chapala needs to be on your list to check out.“
