👍 Great, authentic Mexican food for not too much money with fast and friendly service. I got steak and chicken fajita tacos with a Sidral, hubby got a carne asada taco, a carnitas taco and a beef, bean and cheese burrito (though they seemed to forget the cheese). The seating is not terribly comfy and... People often mention burrito, Mexican, service, great, friendly, good, time, Taco, Express, prices,

    Great, authentic Mexican food for not too much money with fast and friendly service. I got steak and chicken fajita tacos with a Sidral, hubby got a carne asada taco, a carnitas taco and a beef, bean and cheese burrito (though they seemed to forget the cheese). The seating is not terribly comfy and the ambiance is not the reason to eat here. The food is still great and always a good staple.

    I LOVE El Taco Express! The food is authentic and delicious 🔥🤤. Their prices are stellar! $7.50 for a Carne Asada burrito and they're burritos are faaaat and the tacos are stuffed🌯🌮. Overall a good quantity of delicious food at a killer price. I recommend 5/5! Sorry my photos suck and literally do not do this burrito any justice

    Counter person friendly and courteous. The take out order was very quick however the food ordered sucked big time.the beef was dry tough and hard to swallow the flavor was funky .I threw most of it away after a few bites.the horchata was delicious.i was looking forward to a good burrito for days.i was very disappointed .I probably won't return again.the place was small and somewhat crowded. Parking wasn't a problem and free.

    El Taco Express is a consistently great taqueria, with delicious food and fabulous service. Their food is always excellent and filling. Unfortunately, I always order more than I can eat, because there's so much great stuff there. This last time through, our order came to $20 for two meals each for myself and my partner. The only drawback to this place is the parking, as the lot space directly in front of the restaurant is fairly narrow and difficult to safely navigate. However, there is plenty of parking available outside of that narrow slot, so this should not discourage anyone from visiting and filling up on some fantastic Mexican food.

    The Burritos here have been extremely excellent for years and years, and time has not changed the quality or quantity. If you want good Mexican food with great pricing and impeccable quality, go here. Don't settle with other places that have a drive through, or a recognizable name. This little hole in the wall is not only fast, but it's top notch deliciousness.

    WARNING DO NOT GOT HERE!!! I’ve had this place twice now and both times I’ve had problems. First time I went they gave me a breakfast burrito filled with everything but what was on their menu. Second time I order a basic “bean and cheese” and got this⬇️ this burrito is 90% percent beans (all in the same area) psa I need a refund

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Taco Express, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a vibrant and lively atmosphere that instantly transported me to Mexico. The menu at El Taco Express is a true culinary delight. Their authentic Mexican dishes are prepared with utmost care and attention to detail. The flavors were bold, the ingredients were fresh, and each dish was a masterpiece in itself. Whether it was their mouthwatering tacos, flavorful burritos, or their delectable enchiladas, every bite was a burst of deliciousness. What truly sets El Taco Express apart is their exceptional service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu, readily available to answer any questions, and provided prompt service with a genuine smile. The ambiance of El Taco Express is also worth mentioning. The restaurant is tastefully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're dining with friends, family, or even alone, you'll feel right at home in this cozy establishment. In conclusion, El Taco Express is a hidden gem in our community. With its authentic flavors, exceptional service, and inviting ambiance, it is a must-visit for any Mexican cuisine enthusiast. I highly recommend giving it a try and indulging in their mouthwatering offerings. You won't be disappointed!

    It was good. I got the special, and my hubby got the asada burrito. The salsa was just dry tomatoes and onions, so that was weird. I think if I go back I will just get it to go, and then I can supply my own salsa.

    My fist time here, it was great. I got the beef burrito it was quite large and delicious. Good prices too $7. Kind service. I will come back.

    Like most people, I’ve been to a lot of Mexican restaurants. From fancy sit down restaurants to drive thrus. This place not only has incredible value, and the great pricing but the quality of the food, and how much better it is than any other place I’ve been to. I live on the coast, but I come to Eugene frequently, and I go here every single time!

    The food here is really great. It is made fresh and quick. The service is always great , the people are friendly. We go here at least once a month. We have both ordered to go and dined in .. it's a must try.

    Good food. Good service. Good prices. This is a great option for the family on days when you don't have time to cook supper.

  • 5/5 Jackson W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, great service, and just overall great experience with them. 10/10 would recommend to others.

  • 5/5 Blaze P. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place me and my girlfriend come here almost every day I get the beef bean and cheese burrito and she gets the bean and cheese burrito and they are both really good only problem with it is one time I asked for rice in my burrito and they forgot it which I’m still a little salty about but it’s still my favorite place 10/10

  • 5/5 Seven S. 1 year ago on Google
    Surprisingly amazing - the name is deceiving. No Ortega taco shells here - all homemade, cooked & flavored to perfection. They really deserve a better dine-in facility.

  • 5/5 Will M. 1 year ago on Google
    Though the food won't blow your mind away or anything like that. It does provide one of those chill food experiences. Where you eat and relax. It doesn't give off that up tight feeling, it just gives off a good vibe.

  • 5/5 Mary B. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down theee best Mexican food restaurant around here! Plus they have reasonable prices. My family and I get food from here at LEAST once a week. They are consistent and give decent portion sizes. Also the crew is super friendly.

  • 3/5 Chris L. 1 year ago on Google
    Fast and friendly service. The menu prices are exceptionally reasonable however the meat quality in carne asada burrito was disappointing. The steak seems to be roast beef.

  • 5/5 Jeremy W. 1 year ago on Google
    I just had a chicken quesadilla and it was SO GOOD! The price was totally reasonable, compared to most places around here. The chicken was marinated and reminds me of Tijuana. Mmmmm. This has just become my favorite Mexican taco shop.

  • 5/5 Nate T. 1 year ago on Google
    My new favorite! Great food…no really…it’s so good. Great prices too! Friendly, clean, tasty, and priced right!

  • 2/5 Juan L. 3 years ago on Google
    I went to this place because a friend of mine recomended it. The flavor of the tacos was ok, but they had too much onions. I have a picture, you the judge.

  • 5/5 Cory S. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food, excellent service, can't get a bigger better burrito in town for the price!

  • 3/5 sandra b. 2 years ago on Google
    The amount of food you get for the price you can't find a deal any where like it any more. Its really busy but they are super fast!! The take-out is really messy. Get lots of napkins! Definitely a student place.

  • 5/5 Scott P. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a great place to stop by. Great tasting as usual ,even after their fire 🔥 that luckily didn't destroy the place.

  • 5/5 Alisha R (. 2 years ago on Google
    I absolutely love this place I moved from Arizona and it was really hard for me to find a Mexican place that was close and similar to the food that I'm used to when it comes to Mexican food and this place is awesome they put the perfect amount of meat inside my burrito there is no lettuce which that is awesome because who puts lettuce in a burrito all the other restaurants around here makes no sense

    This is authentic Mexican fast food, not fine dining. Keep it in mind and you’ll love it. Plenty of parking, very tasty food, friendly staff.
