    Friends!

    We love nelson's!' The owner is the sweetest person ever and amazing service. Bring from LA, the Mexican food is up to par. Great veggie options and ambiance. Come here!!

    Couple of open tables, but lots of traffic.

    Food is excellent, portions are large and hot food comes out of the Cocina pretty quick!

    i had Nelson's delivered today. The food was horrible! the enchiladas had zero sauce. The corn tortillas were raw and the chicken was weird cubed and dry. The rice was hard and the beans seemed undercooked.

    For Eugene, this is pretty great Mexican food! And for the price and quantity, I would definitely come back here again. Try the wet burritos! Very tasty!

    Okay.... Let me be frank..... these tacos were so good I damn near wept as I ate. I'm telling…read moreyou.... Tacos so good they make you want to slap your momma. We were served by the owner (very cool, honest, and confident man) in a cozy space that was spotless and smelled amazing. We paid cash and he reduced the price because he didn't have to pay a transaction fee and he passed those savings down to the customer (honesty). The dude clearly knows how to make tacos (confident). And when we expressed the level of "oh my god" we were experiencing, his face beamed with pride (cool). He's been there for 3 years and I'm livid that I'm only just discovering him. To the owner of this fine establishment: Breh, you ruined tacos everywhere for me. If it ain't your tacos, then I'm not interested. Do you have any idea how this is going to impact my life?! Thank you for making me the best tacos I've ever had. Cheers.

    Lokos knocks it out of the park again!…read more Service is awesome... really nice people, and they are friendly and helpful! I ordered the birria tacos again, this time with the HUGE handmade masa tortillas they make. They are so good. The pickled peppers, carrots and onions add a little bite.., and really amp up the flavor. The consommé is good too (just needed a little salt for my taste). I have tried a number of places that are supposed to have good Birria here in Eugene, and so far... I still think Lokos is the best.
