Now this isn't a five star restaurant in the traditional sense. If you're looking for up scale dining this is the last place you want to dine. Although, if you're familiar with roadside taquerias you will love this place! Delicious and authentic! Nice selection of meats. We will definitely come back! There are a few mismatching tables and chairs if you choose to "dine in" which adds to its character.

This is the best taqueria I've found in the area so far, and I make an effort to seek them out. I ordered three different tacos, and everything was cooked to order and delicious. From the tortillas to the salsa, these tacos made me very happy. Not the place if you're looking for a sit-down sort of ambiance, but a darn good taco spot nonetheless!

Birthday tacos are a tradition This year we tried El Trenecito. A long awaited visit since they are not open every day, and we usually miss them, or drive by when they are open but we are on errands. Wow. Amazing carnitas. I got the quesadilla. So good. The little baggies of sauce are reminders of my wilder days. Street parking only.

Best Mexican food in the Eugene / Springfield hands down! Love this spot! I always get the carne asada tacos with the green sauce. You can’t go wrong with pretty much anything at this spot. Keep up the great work!

Definitely a hidden gem!!! We got a veggie burrito and a carne asada torta and the total was $14.50! Both were pretty descent size and really good! Not a lot of outdoor seating looks like a small mom and pop shop! However, Would strongly recommend if you’re looking for some good food at a fair price! They do take out and delivery as well.

A small, unassuming hidden gem in Springfield for Mexican eats. Chorizo burrito was filling and delicious. Both salsas were also very tasty and unique with a great consistency.

Delicious food! Quite hot outside though since no umbrellas had been put out so we got our food to go. That habanero salsa was amazing and had some heat!
