DELTA NEWS & REVIEW
Tacovore is is probably the the best taqueria in the Northwest. Call it it trendy, call it gourmet, call it innovative, call it fresh, call it anything you want, but you must call it ... second to none! Another reviewer labeled them the best Mexican/Latin Taqueria in Eugene, Oregon. But, Amy, the General Manager said; they prefer to be called a Pacific Northwest Taqueria. When I heard several raves about Tacovore as as one the best places to check out in Eugene for Mexican food, I chose them first when I was was told that they smoke their own Meats.
With their own Smokehouse on location, and owner Steve Mertz's concept for this unique Taqueria, it's out-of-the-box recipes, the ambiance, Tacovore created as much an experience as well as a purveyor of great food! With excellent friendly professional staff, Tacovore made my first visit...a must come back soon to do this review visit.
I could go into into all of the superlatives about the subtleties and layered flavors and fresh ingredients, and try to paint a picture aimed at achieving a mouth watering desire for my readers, heaping on many more praises, however, just let me tell you the smoked carne asada taco, mole chicken carnitas, would still make them the best taqueria in town if all the rest of their ingredients we're not at par with their Smoked Meats. However, all the rest of their ingredients are on par and Tacovore could be the best Taqueria I have ever had the pleasure to eat at... and review. The wait is a little long at peak hours of course, but well worth the wait.
My daughter and i stopped in right before the lunch rush. The place has great atmosphere and the staff is friendly and fun. I had a fish taco and a shrimp taco and they were incredible! The fish was cornmeal crusted and was delicious, the tortillas are handmade and fresh! The shrimp tacos were to die for with a great marinade on the shrimp and cooked to perfection! I will definitely be coming back!
I love this place $3-$4 a taco, ..50 cents off tacos and a dollar off beer during happy hour!? There's a nice variety from chicken, pork, ground beef, steak, or seafood! Daily specials. The pork tacos (carnitas or ones for specials) are SO good! Definitely all you want in a taco. The toppings are all super fresh and tasty too!
The shells are delicious, both the soft shells and the hard, and I'm absolutely partial to soft! They have quite a few different sauces to tickle all levels of your Scoville scale fancy. Both red, green, and orange habenero if you dare.
They have a few different sides but I enjoy filling up on about four tacos and one of their fine draft beers.
The service is awesome, I just ate their by myself and they all treated me like a friend! If you like tacos, go eat here! ..if you love tacos.. what are you waiting for!?! Go here! ��

I've been wanting to try Tacovore for a while, but ever time we stop by it's super crowded, with long lines and no parking. We went during an off time Sunday afternoon, got in and ordered, food arrived quickly. Excellent food, love the salsa bar, the pineapple jalapeño is my favorite! The icing on the cake for us, the Celiacs friendly kitchen and menu, as our youngest has Celiacs and is often challenged to find places he can eat out at. He also loved the food and various menu options available. I can say with certainty that we'll be back!
We were in Eugene looking at grad school and had only a few days to sample restaurants in town...went to this place on the advice of our shuttle driver from Inn at the 5th and ended up having to go back to this place because it was sooooooo damn good! Margaritas were amazing...carnitas were my favorite and loved the ceviche as well!
For a quick bite, if the line isn't long, it was awesome. My brother suggested we go around 4 to beat the crowd. We are only in town a few days and we will be back when we come this way again. Worth the stop. Great flavor and spices.
Perfect amazing wonderful place. Love the food, and the margaritas are the best! Only down side is the line
Loved the beef and the beef steak! The chips and guacamole were amazing as well! Carnitas were delicious as well, according to my wife. She didn’t offer me a bite, so you know they were amazing!

Popped in with my sweet one before heading to Cuthbert amphitheatre to see Odesza! Had great food and pretty decent margharitas with friendly staff and quick service! Definately worth a trip:)
Yes. So freaking good. Excellent staff and drinks. Superb food. The coffee shop there is also amazing.
This is the place. Killer tacos. Yummy guacamole. Good beer.

I use to live on the border and spent numerous weekends in Mexico. Dancing, drinking and eating. It’s difficult to find a good taco/Mexican restaurant that doesn’t pile on the melted cheese and Americanize it beyond recognition. Love Taco Vore for their unpretentious, wonderful food and margaritas, in an atmosphere of funky and fun.
