  Best tacos in Eugene?  They're out in Veneta.  I couldn't speak to the rest of the menu because I tried the pork tacos ($2 each!) and they are so incredible that's all I ever get.  Topped with cilantro, fresh onions, and a spicy guacamole sauce.  A vegetarian co-worker swears by the fish tacos too.  Worth the turn off 126!

  Excellent, unpretentious, street style Mexican food! Owner/Chef Luis Labastida knocks out nosh of a surprising caliber that's not usually expected from a semi-permanent structured, walk up, take out, taco shop, place such as this. But the food is great! Almost everything is made in house, from scratch. House made flour tortillas for all the burritos and quesadillas add a fresh baked bread note to every bite.  When you order a fish taco, Luis opens the fridge and pulls out a piece of fresh raw fish, dredges it through his perfectly balanced batter and dunks it into the fryer. When you order the beef or chicken, they too are cooked to order. The only thing pre made is the pork. But carnitas style pork just cannot be cooked to order unless you order it say, a day in advance. The thing i really appreciate is the lack of over salted food. Most Mexican fare one gets is way too salty for my taste, but Luis cuts the salt way back to the point where I find myself actually salting my plate of mexican food. A refreshing concept that I had previously not ever entertained. The lack of salt really allows you to taste the freshness of the ingredients he uses. Never have I seen a tired piece of cabbage or cilantro on any dish I've ordered. I think he even slices the limes to order for every individual dish. Attention to freshness and detail like this is rarely found in large restaurants let alone taco shops. This is some of the best and most authentic Mexican food in The Eugene area! If you're in or passing through Veneta, it's a must stop! Even worth the trip out of Eugene.
  I recommend:
  
  Fish Tacos, Pork Tacos, Fish Burrito, Chicken Quesadilla (with spicy guacamole), Beef Torta.

  I would rather eat Burrito Boy than ever eat here again. Keep in mind, I will never eat Burrito Boy again. Wildly overpriced ($6.00 for a underfilled, flavorless and over lettuced burrito - Dixie likened
  the abundance of lettuce and lack of meat to that of a Subway sandwich), suspect ingredients (is that freezerburn? Is this supposed to be guacamole?) and without a redeeming quality. I don't mean to be so harsh, I just had high hopes for this place. Too bad.
