Absolutely the BEST , most authentic Mexican food we've had anywhere in Lane County, Oregon! The chile relleno is my absolute favorite, best I've ever had, incredibly flavorful! There are no bells and whistles here, so if you're looking to be waited on, go elsewhere, but if you want amazing food, you've got to try this place. It is family owned and operated, so sometimes life happens and they are not open during what are otherwise normal hours, so it's best to call ahead before going. read more

We got there right as they opened, and the breakfast burritos and quesabirria taco was incredible. Some of the best we've had in Eugene without a doubt. The owner was super welcoming and kind. We will definitely be back! read more

Lovely people making consistently good food for many years. An easy go to when I don't know what to make for dinner.

I live around the corner, just never ate here before and today i am blown away,,, all the pictures are old, we're going to completely update. Even fhe FoodCart itself is mew and shining, inside is beautiful stainless, refrigeration stove a joy to cook nowadays I had the chili relleno rice bean corn tortilla was very good and filling. What impressed me most was the crowd that filed in when she opens for dinner 5-7:30pm,,, she's and he ate busy, next time i will call the order and that gives them a break too Yes, i will try all their menu items not just burritos read more

I've lived down the street from here for a while now and we've talked about stopping here but just havent until today. We stopped in for lunch and lemme tell you... the lady working was soooo sweet! Talking and chatting with everyone, so friendly and happy! I got 2 al pastor tacos and a carne asada, both were fantastic! I was stuffed after finishing these, and I'm a big girl so it takes a bit of food to do that haha. They were loaded with meat and the salsas were super good! My fiance got chilaquiles with steak, they were super good, only thing he wishes was different was that the chips were tossed in the sauce rather than it just drizzled over top a little. But over all the food was amazing, service was as good as it comes and we'll absolutely be back soon! read more

Very good, freshly made food at Lonches! This is one of Eugene's longest running food trucks and one of the most reliable. - Friendly service! - Tasty Salsas! - Quick walk up or phone orders (prepared fresh so takes a couple minutes). - Tacos and burritos both recommended. read more

Good value, satisfies the Mexican craving. Salsa was very plain tasting, though, and it feels like they're never open (I've called/stopped by multiple times during business hours and they seem to always be closed). read more

This food cart is well worth visiting. Food is great, the prices reasonable, and the food comes pretty quickly considering it is made as ordered. Some outdoor seating available, and you can call in an order to have it ready to take out. Most items have a selection of meat. The order window is walk-up, but there's usually plenty of parking nearby. read more

Pork burrito was so good! Lots of meat! And chile relleno burrito was great! Egg coating on the chile, and good quantity of cheese. Hot sauce was tasty (and hot!). Very friendly lady helped me read more

Best Mexican food truck in town! We always get the vegetarian burritos but modify to vegan by substituting avocado instead of sour cream and cheese. We've eaten a lot of Mexican as vegans and most is just okay (speaking as a Texan here). However, they use fresh ingredients and somehow get much more flavor into their beans and rice (both vegan too). Margarite runs the front and Arturo cooks everything up. Love them both and they are so sweet to our family. Also, the prices are very good- cheaper than nearby burrito boy which is half as good. Their salsas are homemade as fantastic. Only tricky thing can be spotty hours at times, but are pretty consistent. Keep doing your thing, Lonches!! read more

Good food! Call before you go however, I just went there at 12:15 on a Tuesday for lunch and they were all shut and closed... GREAT FOOD

Worst tamale I've ever had. I've had better tamales at the Bakersfield greyhound station at 1 am, 2 for a few dollars. Look at this! 2 of these for 4.50$...that was a "special". Also, it tastes like crap. Old meat, it's dry, and those are frozen or canned peas and carrots with plain ground beef. Oh and it's SMALL. Look at it! I ordered tamales not shepherds pie. Where is the sauce? The seasoning? I told that lady that this is akin to robbery and it is. I lived in LA, I know great Mexican food. You might be able to fool these Eugenians, but not me and I will tell everyone I know about this place and to steer clear. You should be ashamed of yourselves. read more

Lonches To Go - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Our favorite place to eat in all of Eugene!!! You can never tell when they'll be closed though so can't always count on it.

They say best burrito in town and they are not lying! Been coming here for over ten years and it always reminds me of the carne asada burritos in San Diego. read more

Delicious. Ate here twice, street tacos which were good, but the rolled tacos were outstanding. Like small chimichangas. Perfection!

Not as vegetarian friendly as one of these reviews suggest. Chicken stock cooked rice. Friendly owners though! (If you are looking for v3gan Mexican food in Eugene check my other reviews) read more

We absolutely love this place!! The best burrito in town. Arturos beans are great. It's our go to cart food in the area.

FAVORITE Mexican food flavors in Oregon but CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION they are often not open during posted business hours and they don't answer their phone so it's a gamble anytime you decide to go there. The last four times I've tried going during their posted business hours they weren't there; they Re awesome people so I genuinely hope that they are ok...? read more

Best veggie burrito in town! Softest tortillas and bursting with flavor! The owners are also very friendly!

This is my first time that I came here and it was very good. I just moved here and I've tried a lot of places and so far this is one of the best I've come to. We got two carne asada plates, and the jalapeños were at a good spice level, and the meat was great. Definitely coming back even though I don't live in this area of Eugene. Very cool fish tanks too. read more

Best roach coach in the area. It's probably the best Mexican food i've had in the Eugene area so far. Slightly better than Mi Tierra in terms of taste and flavor of the food. Oh, and also because I seriously think Mi Tierra is the most unsanitary establishment ever (Ex: flies buzzin' all over the restaurant...going into the salsa...OK i'll stop). Besides that, i'd probably get the carne asada tacos at Lonches. Pretty tasty and good portion size for the price; 2 bucks. Get three or four of those and it'll fill you up for lunch. Oh, and the lady that works at this food truck is super cool. Bonus points. read more

I can't believe we have been going here for years, and I have not left a review. First of all, I love how Mom, and Pop it is! They treat you like family every time you come when they start to remember who you are. They even remember that I can't have raw onion on mine, and I love that. I have not had anything bad on the menu, but lately my go to has been the Arturo's special, and my guy likes the chilaquiles. He says out of any where he has had them, including in Mexico these are one of the best. I also like that Arturo's special automatically comes with slices of avocado. Some places charge you extra for it, and seem like they have a problem even giving you a little wedge of it. Other places need to take note. The other thing I must touch base on is they tend to get really busy, so please call in your order if you know what you want. Most of their customers don't mind the wait for their delicious food. Oh and it is only 4 star because it is a food truck, and the location. Other wise it rates pretty high as far as good eats. read more

My boyfriend and I went here for the first time today for lunch. The tacos were amazing. Service was amazing. Definitely will be back.

Uhhh-mazing burritos! I know I should probably branch out and try something else, but the chicken Big burritos-- YUM! They also make a super tasty breakfast burrito, which, by the way, reheats beautifully... It might take longer than, say, drive thru... but soooo worth it. read more

Meh... I read so many great reviews about this place. I am really, really disappointed. The carne asada was dry and tasteless. There was lettuce in the burrito, which is anathema. The fish tacos had little crema and also served with lettuce. The fish was basically Van DeKamps fried and served in a warmed tortilla. Arturo was grumbly when I asked for cilantro and onion for the tacos. I may try the enchiladas next time I am out there but Lonches is basically a watered down version of Mexican food. The female cashier was very kind though. read more

UPDATE: I can see from other people posts that they have fallen ill after eating here too, so these guys are really dangerous! PLEASE beware eating there! I hate to post negative reviews such as this one, but I went there in May 2014 based on the high ratings on Yelp and was very pleased at first. The owners are extremely nice and the dish I had was quite tasty aside from the quirk described hereafter (I ordered the chili releno). The chili releno had an acidic taste, and I thought at first that they were using pickled chilies which seemed unusual. Well, that was perhaps the case, but I became sick from eating this food, and my stomach problems lasted for 3 days, with fever chills on the first night. The only other food that I had after eating there on that day was a coffee with cream and sugar, and I don't believe the cream was bad. So, this was probably an isolated incident but I believe that it is important for the owners to know. Unfortunately, I did not have the time to go back to let them know (I live in CA), and hopefully this review will only help them correct potential problems rather than ruin their business. read more

Lonches To Go - Aah, the fun ordering window. - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Best burrito ever! My son ordered a bean and cheese burrito and I ordered the enchiladas. Mine was very good but after I tasted his we ordered 2 more bean and cheese burritos to go. We were heading home to LA from a Portland trip and we are sorry we won't get to come back. Don't be put off by the layout. Just go there, wait as long as it takes, and enjoy. read more

Thanks to the other yelpers for helping me find this place. We just moved to Eugene from Arizona, and have been homesick only because the Mexican food here is horrible. We have been to so many places, and it's all crap (except for mi tierra which is decent). I had the taquitos with shredded beef, beans and rice plate. It was so good, the taquitos were delicious, and the beans, man the beans, this guy knows what he is doing, they were the best beans I have ever tasted, and I have eaten a lot of beans! My husband and daughter had a been burrito, better than Nana used to make! Highly recommend! read more

Best quick mexican food in town, hands down. Very vegitarian friendly. The chilequeles is amazing. Warm staff, awesome food, great prices. I can't recommend them high enough! Protip: Call ahead. They make the food to order and there can be a line. I have never had to wait for than 3 or 4 minutes after calling ahead. read more

Based on never being open. Been here 5 times over past 10 days and not open once. Really? No vacation sign, no nothing.

Friendly crew, first-rate salsas (the red has a fair bit of heat, yum), good prices. The carnitas were perfect: crispy yet moist, pure flavor of pork butt with salt, pepper, and garlic. The tacos al pastor were spicy, savory, and rich, with no red grease. I will be back again and again. read more

The food is OK, not as good as Super Taco or Las Morenas but better than your run of the mill Burrito Boy or Burrito Amigos type places. I like the chilaquiles, and the people are nice. The problem is, it's a food cart with extremely slow service and dodgy hours. I only go here when I am passing by and it looks empty, and even then only if I have time to kill. I usually enjoy the food, although the quality and portion sizes seem to vary from visit to visit. Most times I just hit Super Taco instead. The food is better and I can sit inside while I wait. read more

After moving here from California, i was uncertain that I would find authentic Mexican cuisine. Lonches to go has the best Mexican food in Eugene by far! My favorite dish is the chile relleno burrito. I have brought various friends to check out the food cart. Everyone loves their food. read more

We read about them in a Sunset Magazine article on burritos. We ordered several things, and the flavors were fantastic. The chile relleno burrito was simply delicious. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is that the wait was outrageous. I know good food takes time, but the woman told us it would be a 25 minute wait when we paid and we got our food after about 40 minutes. You can call in your order which might be a better idea. read more

This is the best Mexican food in town. I get the big burrito, spicy, with steak. The chicken and pork are shredded, and good, but not my preferred. The people running it are friendly and hard-working. Everything is made fresh, and good quality. I'd recommend calling ahead during peak hours, and trying both sauces. read more

BEST port burrito in town! The staff is super friendly and the portions ample. This unassuming cart is a hidden gem! read more

I would go here every day if I could...it's not too expensive, I just think I would gain about 20 pounds a month if I did! But I would be happy! Seriously, they always have a special where you can get 2 tacos, enchiladas, or sopes with rice and beans for $5.50! Screaming deal. All of their food is fantastic. We have had the tacos (always with carnitas), enchiladas, sopes, taquitos, quesadillas (for our 3 year old son, they're loaded). The Mexican cokes in a glass bottle are delicious as well. Wish they had beer, too. Can't say enough good things about this place, really. It's kind of unfortunate that their location is a little sketchy, but I swear you can't get good Mexican food in a nice restaurant. The people who run it are great. read more

Lonches is the best Margarita is crazy and Aurtro slings some badass carnitas Call Ahead

Moved here from Texas and this is the closest to the taco trucks we used to eat at. Tacos with just cilantro and onion, stacked on two little tortillas. Big soft tortas with real media crema on them. Great beans. And it's cheap. Have not tried the burritos, I know west coast folks are really into them but I am a taco guy. This is one of the few places in town for actual Mexican food and it makes me really happy. Yeah it takes a little while but you can call ahead. read more

One of the best burritos I've ever had. I've had some of their other food as well and it all stacks up at the top of my list of best Mexican food. I would say that I agree the wait is long but if they fixed that problem they would have to pre-cook their food, which would bring down quality. Call ahead and if you want to eat there, the outdoor seating works just fine. Short of returning to some of my favorite spots all over Mexico this would be the spot to satisfy my urge for authentic Mexican food. read more
