El Taco Grande

  Yelp did it again, I found great clean, flavorful, and plentiful authentic mexican food. I had a carne asada Tostada, $3.50!!! and a side of rice and added  avocado for a total of $5.50. But the Best thing was the food. The tostada tortilla was fried to order, NOT the pre-made kind you pull out of a bag. Fresh and spicy salsa too. I'll definitely come here again or get of the I-5 when I'm passing thru Eugene. Originally from southern California, I was pleased and now and stuffed full.

  (Note: This review written from the perspective of a way-out-of-towner.) My folks and I were driving from Portland to Crater Lake and decided to stop in Springfield at Cabela's. Requiring lunch, we consulted our trusty Yelp app and found El Taco Grande. IT. WAS. AWESOME. Fresh ingredients, incredible selection, and outrageously cheap prices. I had a tripe, tongue, and fish taco plate; also sampled the chorizo burrito and carnitas tacos. Yahoo For El Taco Grande! Yahoo For Yelp!

  Everything I wanted in a real taco shop: good food for cheap.
  
  Sausage breakfast burrito was very good, and the size my forearm for 4.50. I just can't make them like that at home. Sausage, eggs, potato's, cheese and adding red sauce myself.
  
  Carne Asada was pretty good, much better than burrito boy, and by far better than taco bell across the street.
  
  Green sauce was spicy with good flavor
  Red sauce was not very hot, but was not sure about the flavor, I prefer the green.
  
  I will be back probably bi-weekly for a breakfast burrito, YUM!

  Barely ok. Green sauce was hot but not a lot of flavor. Beans were ok. Rice was decent. Would not go back. When I get back to so cal I will get some good mexican food

  Hooray for another good cheap lunch option near the office.  
  
  The setting is no frills but clean.  You pay at the counter, and they bring the food to your table.  
  
  Al pastor burrito was flavorful without being too salty and a great value at only $4.50.  Self-service green & red salsas were tasty.  An extra-hot orange option would be nice for us heat freaks.  
  
  Bonus:  we were treated to Bloodhound Gang's "Discovery Channel" as we ordered.  As we left, the music exhorted "everybody dance now."  They ain't playing the shitty radio, and the tunes are at an appropriate volume.

  There are two classes of burrito joints in this town.  You have your Burrito Boys, Burrito Amigos, and Los Faroles, and then there's the El Taco and Super Burrito.  El Taco and Super, welcome El Taco Grande.  
  
  Value is high.  Nice portions.  This will be a weekly stop for me.

  Fresh ingredients, large portions, extremely inexpensive ($4.50 for a HUGE burrito), and freshly made each day rojo and verde salsa. Favorites: Al Pastor tacos, Chile Rellanos (only $2 each!), and Carnitas tacos and burritos.
  
  Clean, and not divey at all. Downside? They are at least the fourth restaurant to try to make it in this location, right next to Subway, and 100 ft off Gateway.
