👍👍 I would give this place 100 stars if I could. Probably the biggest hidden gem in Eugene. The tacos are some of the best I've ever had. The meat is seasoned so well and the toppings are nice and simple. Not to mention the prices are great. You can easily eat there for $10 for 2 people. I usually get... People often mention good, tacos,

The pupusas are also incredible. Highly recommend.

    Don't walk to this place, run! It is sooo tasty & good prices too! My chicken & cheese pupusas were $6 for two w/a little sour cream etc too! The location it is in is funky, it is at the back of a parking lot next to a corner store near the Washington/Jefferson bridge skate park (& there are a lot of interesting characters around there). If you don't like the location/area, still go! Just take your food to go & eat it somewhere else! So good, so worth overlooking the location!

    I love tacos, and have tried dozens of taco trucks in the Eugene Springfield area. Pupuseria Juanita's is hands down my favorite! All of their food is delicious and the people are so nice. Very worth it to go to this cash only business!

    Wow!! If you are looking for a good pupusa, look no further. The food here is very good and the portion size of the burrito was decent, but if you are paying $9 for a burrito that is expected. The Pupusa’s were great, however I don’t feel two pupusa’s and Curtido are worth $9…The prices could be better. But it does have a little covered outdoor seating area.

    Oh, the Pupusa gods smiled thusly on us this day. I'd had tacos here before and they were pretty great - but the pupusas?.... oof yes please, bury me happy as of that day. PS - They're cash only. 💲

    Amazing food. My favorite place to eat, honestly! Really good prices for what you get, too. This is the only place where you can get a plate of super yummy food for $8. And the man who's always working is so nice! Eat here!!!

    Some of the most incredible and inexpensive El Salvadoran food you can find. Go for the papusas, stay for the tacos al pastor. And make sure you chat with Victor! One of the kindest souls I've met.

    Absolutely delicious pupusas at this hidden gem. I'm amazed to have such a good pupuseria in Eugene. I could hear him make it from scratch. Very nice owner. Keep in mind it is Cash Only.
