Dos Banderas

Hands down, the BEST authentic Mexican food in town. And yes, I have traveled to lots of places in Mexico.
Extremely friendly people, and on a Friday/​Saturday night, no better food late at night… or any time for that matter! Cash only, but WELL WORTH IT!

Ohhh so goooooood! I love tacos and this place has fantastic tacos. I got a chicken taco and a lengua (cow’s tongue) taco and both were fantastic. They are open super late and are prime picking for all the drunkards out and about at one a.m. The food will still be good if haven’t had anything to drink too.

Best carne asada at any Mexican cart in Eugene, HANDS DOWN. Any time I’m within 30 feet of this cart, my mouth begins to water. I’ve had their food when I was completely sober, and I’ve had it when I’ve been drunk out of my mind. Either way, it’s always delicious.
My go-​to is usually their carne asada burrito, which I believe is around $ 8.00. I rarely can finish the entire thing in one sitting… I usually eat half and save half for later. If I want something lighter I get their taco salad which comes in a big square styro container. Again, the proportion here is so generous that I always have leftovers.
The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that their hours can be a bit odd and difficult to remember, and they accept cash only. I totally understand that operating on a cash basis is easier and cheaper for the business, but being able to accept debit/​credit would be a great convenience to their customers. There have been many times I would have stopped, but didn’t want to have to bother with an ATM machine.

Very nice people running the cart, yet $ 12 for a burrito is absolutely ridiculous, especially when it was very mediocre, no flavor at all. I had one chicken taco and one carne asada taco, $ 2.50 each yet both also very mediocre.

Great food and great prices!
I went this afternoon and got the «small» carne asada burrito. The meat was delicious and juicy, not dry at all like other stands. I don’t know why anyone would need to order a larger size, this thing was HUGE! It also came with complimentary chips which paired wonderfully with their DELICIOUS green hot sauce. For only $ 7 and a mouth full of flavor, it is absolutely worth searching around downtown for parking!
The guacamole was a tad bit too citrus-​y for my taste but it certainly didn’t hinder me from inhaling what I could and eating the leftovers later!

Simple menu, reasonable prices, and quickly made for a nice lunch down the street from the law firm I work at. I would definitely recommend it. Their hours are good (10:30am — 3am) for anyone looking for a lunch during your daily grind, or a tasty treat in an inebriated state later at night. The only downside: the smoker they use to cook their carne asada steak has a potent smell and the potential for lots of smoke. When I’ve gone at lunch and decided to eat at their tables, sometimes the smell is too strong for me when they’re cooking their meat.

Solid mexican joint where everything is smoked. The taco looks like most others on sight: grilled meat chopped up, two tortillas stacked, cilantro and (grilled) onions on top. But the meat is (almost?) all smoked. So the flavor is fairly unique. As a Texan, I find combining tacos and smoked meat to be a great idea. For the more robust meats, it works well, but for chicken the smoke flavor is actually a bit overpowering. Not a huge complaint. The chicken tortilla soup is the real deal, probably the highlight.

The quality of Mexican food can be determined by the simple carne asada taco. I ordered three, took one bite, and threw them all away. It tasted like some unidentifiable chemical had permeated the meat. The worst taco I have ever sampled.

Best Mexican food cart in Eugene. Breakfast burritos all day and night. Cash only, but plenty of ATMs nearby. Authentic street tacos too. They may close whenever they feel like, but that makes getting there when they are open all the more rewarding.

Excellent breakfast burritos! Large burritos. Beans have a delicious smoky flavor. A must downtown, way better than the other burrito joints

I love the steak tacos at this place. Freaking phenomenal. Their burritos are gigantic and cheap, but delicious. They are open super late as well. Great as a late night, after the bar, cap off. Def a great place to grab a quick bite, or a good sized meal.

We tried their carne asada burritos, and they were delicious. The small one was big enough to satisfy our hunger.

This one time, I smelled something downtown…
The best burritos I’ve had in Eugene came from here. No, it’s not because whenever I eat here I am fresh from the bars and drunk and starving. I actually go here when I’m sober, during the daytime and all. The carne asada is so amazing and it makes anything I get it on taste out of this world. The smell of it wafts around the neighborhood and beckons you like a siren. The breakfast burrito is awesome, I have tried to replicate it at home and fail every time. The simplicity of their tacos is refreshing. The hot sauces they have are all excellent.
They have coke in a glass BOTTLE!
Burrito Boy and Mucho Gusto are good but this place is playing a different game
.
You are being cruel to yourself if you like Mexican food, are in Eugene and have not tried this place.
Now, why would you do that to yourself? Why…
Is it too heavy to think about?
Well you could always just go here and eat and move on with your life.

Waaaaaay too expensive. The food is tasty but does not come close to being a good value. It’s is a freaking food stand charging sit down restaurant prices. $ 10 for a burrito. I’ll pass. It’s a bit of a shame as the food is good, just not $ 10 for a burrito good.

Really nice people serving really tasty burritos. Cash only, $ 7. Meats are smoky and amazing. Super satisfying all-​around.

Best burritos in Eugene. Seriously. The bean and cheese burrito is delicious and their more complex burritos are even better. They offer two sizes on most things and the larger size is difficult to eat in one sitting. They have free chips, amazing sauces and are extremely nice people. Another plus is that from Thursday-​Saturday they are open until 3am!

Coming from a city where legit Mexican taco trucks are a dime a dozen, this place is solid. While they don’t offer cabeza, lengua, or cachete, their other options are good. Very filling and relatively cheap. Green sauce means go!

The large carne asada burrito that I had was good — not great. It cost $ 9 which is way too much for a burrito of this caliber. Mind you, I grew up on foil-​wrapped burritos from San Francisco’s Mission District, so my expectations are probably a bit higher than the average Eugene burrito reviewer on Unilocal.Even still, I can get a far superior carne asada burrito from taco trucks in Olympia, WA and they only cost $ 5.
If you’ve experienced authentic Mission-​style burritos before, you will probably want to pass on this taco stand in Eugene. It was definitely a disappointment for this SF burrito boy. However, if you grew up only knowing Taco Bell and Del Taco, definitely give it a try. It will blow either of those away.

A little food cart tucked away outside of Luckey’s Cigar Club with a few tables, VERY friendly cooks, and the price is right, too!
For me, this is the best place for authentic ‘dog’ style street tacos in Eugene. I haven’t tried anything else because they are just THAT EFFING GOOD. No need to go anywhere else if you want good tacos.

What the… What the hell? What in the hell is that insanely delectable smell!!! This is what I was saying when we went to Luckeys Club to play some pool on Friday night.
When we were done shooting some stick, I still had the smell of delicious BBQ steak all up in my nose. I was pretty happy since I was in need of food and this was conveniently tucked in the alley between Luckeys Club and The Davis.
Let’s get to it… This was one of the best burritos I’ve had since I moved to Eugene. That’s a task that would seem pretty basic, yet is still hard to come by in an area that’s lacking great Mexican eats.
I don’t remember if the burrito was $ 5 or $ 9 (thanks a LOT Jameson!), but it was worth every penny and each bite was a sad one when thinking that this was going to eventually come to an end. I had a tear in my eye on the last 2 bites…*sniffle*…they could have been tears of joy I guess?
The real winner in the burrito was the steak. It wasn’t full of fat, and the taste was what grilled carne asada should be! Of course the hot sauces that were provided were delicious, but they weren’t needed.
These guys are open till 3AM!!!
