    Food was so very authentic and delicious, it’s nice to know that Eugene has some great Mexican food comparable to what I have experienced having grown up in Southern California. Also the staff were very quick with our order, and super friendly; they gave us a boatload of salsas for free!

    This place is the best value in town. Their burritos are under 10 and are at least a pound, like huge! And it's not just their size, the food is excellent. We always get it to go, but there is seating inside.
