This was my first real foray into the Mexican food scene in Eugene/Springfield... and I really, truly hate to be harsh, but I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure it could have gone much worse. With my dad being in town with me, the two of us decided to go on a late-night taco run. We went with a big order that included 2 carne asada tacos, 2 tacos campechanos, an asada burrito, and a chorizo breakfast burrito. Starting with the asada itself: it was just depressingly, woefully bland. The meat was crying out for any sort of seasoning. Somehow, though, this wasn't the worst part -- even more strikingly, it was clear that liquid smoke was likely used as well. If you've never tasted liquid smoke before, it's a horrible, powerfully artificial flavor that should go nowhere near any quality piece of meat. Color me thoroughly impressed if this was not the case here. The asada burrito had almost no asada in it, despite my dad requesting "double" meat. The chorizo had a strange aftertaste, not super pleasant. Furthermore, proper chorizo gives a bright punch of acidity, a stout kick of spice, and a rich unctuousness (aka: that sinful, I-hate-myself fattiness... you know the one) -- this had none of those things. Making a duo of the asada and chorizo in the tacos campechanos did not elevate either meat; it ended up kind of just being a tandem of sadness and regret. My dad -- who never, ever says anything bad about Mexican food -- may have put it best: "Yeah... this was pretty freakin' bad." I will say that the service was friendly and informative... I will always, always appreciate and recognize that in a business. The food, on the other hand, I'm sorry to say might have been the worst I have had to date as far as Mexican goes. I am hoping (praying!) that I find a go-to taco/burrito spot around these parts soon -- I may go certifiably insane if I don't. read more

Food was absolutely terrible, carne asada meat tasted like it was days old and reheated. Skimpy as well, but since it tasted so bad it ended up going in the garbage anyway. They were open late night but food was horrible, should've just opted for an overpriced hot dog instead. Do not recommend the carne asada at ALL, maybe the other meat is okay but everything was super greasy as well, the tortillas full of grease, the torta unnecessarily greasy too. Everything was just terrible, don't recommend especially if you're hispanic and actually enjoy good tacos. read more

Official rating: 4.4 if I could be more precise. I love the burritos here. Occasionally it can be extremely greasy but more frequently it is a very good breakfast burrito. Today was one of those days where it was terrific. I had a carne asada breakfast burrito for $10. Both salsas red and green were pretty spicy for me but tasty. Always get some chips with your meal. Perfect meal to end a late night. They used to be cash only but now accept cards. Pros: - delicious breakfast burrito - spicy salsa - good hour coverage. In the middle of bars so it opens late Cons: - sometimes burritos can be greasy read more

Terrible....burrito super skimpy on meat.....carne asada burritos was all beans and sauce. The chorizo tacos were decent but their burritos are garbage......chips they give you stale and chewy read more

Dos Banderas - Almost no meat for $11.....yuck - Street Vendors Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Tried the horchata, burrito, and quesadilla and liked them all too. Appreciate that they're open late on Friday & Saturday. Wish they were open past 6p on other nights too. Yum. read more

Drive here from california to visit family and i cant leave back home until i eat here the torta is

Best Mexican food in OR so far. (It would even stand out as good in CA for the freshness of the ingredients and tasty salsa verde,) Important Tip: it's NOT on Broadway as Yelp, and Google maps, seem to think! It's next to Lucky's Club in the 900 block of Olive, around the corner from Broadway. There wasn't even a sign on the truck on the street side, so look for Lucky's next door. I had chicken and veggie tacos. Right off the grill and did I say Fresh? read more

Food was amazing the burrito was so good and the horchata was amazing aswell the man working that took my order was so kind 10/10 place

Amazing, service is great and food is really good and comes out at a reasonable time.

The food is delicious is super delicious. The salsa is good. The place is clean and the service is wonderful I really really recommend display because the lady is so sweet and her food the tortas the tacos is delicious. read more

Yumm!!!! Came here Friday night with friends before hitting the bars and loved their veggie burrito! It was a lot larger than I imagined and my friend got the quesadilla which came with gauc and sour cream used that to dip my chips in. Will def be coming back here some night. Second visit: came here and got the vegetarian quesadilla and it was soo bomb!!! And very filling I was surprised I almost didn't finish it and I can eat a lot!! read more

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!!!!!!!!! read more

Dos Banderas - Ridiculously awesome burritos! - Street Vendors Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I used to be a fan. Best green sauce in town. Unfortunately that's the only positive thing I can say. Its way over priced now, especially considering they buy all their ingredients at winco. They cook their beans and rice a couple times a week and then just serve them reheated throughout the week. No biggie, most places probably do the same, but about 1 out of every 5 burritos I've ordered there the beans and/or rice were still refrigerator cold in the middle. WARNING despite what the owners have told people since they opened, their veggie menu items are actually NOT vegetarian. Their rice is cooked with Knorr's chicken bouillon cubes which contain chicken, beef and dairy. No substitutions allowed. (If you are looking for v3gan Mexican food in Eugene check my other reviews) read more

Best tacos. Reasonable price. Always friendly. They do great work! Thank you dos banderas *accepts cash only read more

Dos Banderas - Best tacos. Love this place. - Street Vendors Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I have been a customer here since 2016 and I must say, I'm very disappointed in this food truck. For allergy reasons I asked what cheese was contained in my burrito and was told cheddar however that was not what I received rendering my breakfast burrito inedible due to dietary needs. Also, the menu lists the hash browns as being crispy but they were soggy and not crisped at all. The only crunchy thing in that catastrophe was the undercooked onions. You guys used to be, in my opinion, amongst the better quick Mexican eats in Eugene but now I would rather eat Taco Bell. read more

I came here because I had been told many times that the tacos were the best in EUG. I was sadly disappointed. The tacos were just 'ok' there wasn't anything special about them and they were very bland. They do give you a good amount of meat on the taco, but considering how flavorless the meat was and dry, it wasn't necessarily the best. For tacos, it was a bit pricey. If you're in the area looking for tacos, I'd recommend Morelos instead. My customer service was good, not great, but my food was just 'ok'. read more

Dos Banderas - Pollo, Adobada and Carne Asada tacos - Street Vendors Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

It's alright for a late night spot, but definitely nothing to brag about! I'm sure it's fine for drunk college kids or small town people who aren't exposed to much culture, but it's way over priced for a mediocre product! They even messed up my order and didn't honor it! If it was a $5 burrito it'd be fine, but $8-$12 for mediocre ingredients... who the hell do they think they are? read more

Very very disappointed in the food and the service. I ordered chicken tacos and my partner ordered a chicken burrito. I don't know how it's possible to mess up chicken, but I only took one bite and that's all I could stomach. I ended up giving my other taco to a homeless person. My girlfriend took a few bites of the burrito and gave that away also. The guy taking our order didn't even give us eye contact, and did not seem interested in being at work that night. This is not authentic Mexican food. The chicken tastes like charcoal and the cook looks really dirty. I would never give them my business again, and I hope you don't either. read more

Went there for lunch today. I ordered pork tacos. They came out in 2-3 minutes and the staff was very friendly. The location is really convenient and there are picnic tables to sit at while you wait. The tacos came with onions, cilantro, marinated pork, and radishes. The food was fresh and tasted delicious. I would totally come here again, though it is not the best value in a tacqueria. A little spendy for what it is. read more

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 Yelp. 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. read more

This place is just okay, their meat is very dry and their sauces are a bit bland just spice. Besides that it is affordable and very close by to my apartment so I go here often for the tacos read more

Authenic Mexican cuisine. Very friendly service. I ordered the chicken torta. Delicious! read more

Pretty good tacos! I had 2 adovado pork tacos. They came on corn tortillas with cilantro and onions, radishes, and limes. The meat was flovorful and just spicy enough. The price wasn't a bargain, but still not bad at 3.25 each. The presentation was decent and food quality was fresh and pretty good! The service was excellent. If it was a bit cheaper, I'd give 5 stars all day long, but still, 4 out of 5, would definitely eat here again! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 work downtown, so this little place is my favorite Mexican food spot in the immediate area. 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. read more

It's just a little food cart next to the bars downtown, but it's got some of the best mexican food in Eugene! They have a few chairs and tables if you want to sit down too. read more

Good food, quick service. They have odd hours, but they were open late when we needed Mexican food. Bean and cheese burrito and chicken quesadilla were both quality. I'm gonna leave you hanging for the rest of this review. read more

Dos Banderas - Carne asada - Street Vendors Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Best tacos and burritos in Eugene. Located between The Davis and Luckey's, Dos Banderas are quick, tasty, and affordable. Great people too! The only delta, they're cash only. Just a heads up. read more

Excellent food with super friendly service. They even accommodated my special request

Find yourself stuck in unseasoned ol Eugene, OR craving the best burrito you've ever had in your life? Look no further- Dos Baderas has got you covered. I first was brought here the night of my 21st birthday, so of course I credited the deliciousness of my first carne asada burrito to the excessive vodka consumed that night. Man, was I wrong. Every time I've ate here since, they flavors seasoned into the meat, rice & beans blows my mind. I must warn you, I have cried real tears eating their green sauce. That stuff is HOT! The only reason this fabulous little food cart is missing the last of the five stars is that I have asked them every time (as a recommendation of friends) to have the green sauce rolled into my burrito & I have yet to experience this magicalness. Other than that, I drove by once at 12 am on a Thursday expecting to get a mouthwatering burrito after work only to find them closed, but any reasonable patron should be prepared for that with such a small & local cart. If you've yet to experience the amazing food cooked up at Dos Banderos, wait no longer! Go get yours now- seriously. This stuff is amazing & no other burrito in eugene compares. read more

This is one of the best places in downtown Eugene to get really late-night food. The burritos were a-ok, the sauce is really where this place shines though. The serving size is insane and for the price, who can complain? read more

Nothin but a bunch of meh...service was indifferent and the food was sub par. My Tortilla wasn't even warmed up for my burrito. The whole thing was hardly even warm. There was nothing special about this food at all. Very basic. Not awful, just disappointing. read more

Here are the best tacos I've had in Eugene, and that's not just the Barmuda talking. Five bucks gets you a kickass burrito and a handful of chips or a taco and soup. I've only had the adobada and pollo but am told that the carne asada is also excellent. The lady who works in the late afternoon is friendly and will put your sauce(s) inside your burrito and or in a Solo cup to go and never minds that I want all three. The orange sauce burns like a mofo, just like it should. Edit: You can find it on Olive Street between Luckey's and The Davis. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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

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! read more
