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! ��
