Absolutely loved this place. TacoVino in Corvallis is a total gem. The service was great and incredibly fast, which made the whole experience even better. We tried a variety of tacos (curry chicken, Peking duck, fish, barbacoa, and al pastor) and every single one was packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. The fresh, hot chips with both the green and red salsas were next-level good. Honestly, we could've made a meal out of just that. We also enjoyed a rosé sangria and a Tempranillo from Spain, both excellent and really complemented the food well. Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere was just as memorable. It was relaxed, inviting, and a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy the moment. This is definitely one of those places you want to come back to again and again. read more

Creative, nearly feastive combination of flavors and styles! The menu definitely reflects the passions of a taco and wine lover. Personable, professional greeting with recommendations. Nice. Atmosphere was cheery, with 80s music (the Commodores?!?) and mid-level talking volume. Delish kalbi rib taco, beautiful French sauvignon wine, very reasonable prices. I so wish I could come again! read more

Experience was much better this time around! We had good, attentive servers that offered suggestions and were quick and efficient. The tacos were tasty and they had a good amount of tables outside to enjoy the food in the beautiful spring sunshine. read more

We enjoyed our time at Taco Vino in Corvallis, a popular spot near the OSU campus, with one major caveat. With its combination of tasty tacos, drinks and a celebratory atmosphere, it's easy to see why this place is popular in a university town, with wait times on the weekends pulling in up to one hour waits. I ordered a steak taco and a grilled steelhead trout taco, the daily special. We additionally ordered carnitas tacos. From a service perspective, we had a misfire. One item, an agua Fresca (passion fruit?) that our waiter recommended, turned out to be incredibly sour. Possibly it was out of season. It's rare that I send an item back, but when it happens, most places handle it graciously. Here, unfortunately, telling the waiter my pucker-y agua fresca didn't taste good, received an initial refusal back from the owner to send back the drink, & an offer that I keep the drink, and simple syrup be added to sweeten it, which wasn't something I was excited for, given the tart bite of my first sip. But I agreed, at their insistence, to try that, finding it still incredibly sour. The initial refusal to make things right, right off the bat, didn't leave a positive impression. read more

My wife loved this place. When she was going through treatments, we'd come here two or three times a week. And we lived thirty miles away. Today, on her anniversary, I came back for the first time. And this time I ate inside (we usually ate in the car.) First off, the staff here are always amazing. I think it's usually OSU students, so it may rotate, but everyone is always super friendly and welcoming. So they hire a culture and a personality fit. Their tacos are always good, and the selection rotates with their specials, however they have a good solid list of ones always available. My wife always loved the Beet tacos, which were vegan. I had my favorites though. Today I came back. In her honor, I got the special: a spicy hatch chile pork tenderloin taco, with crema, white onion, and a hatch chili sauce. Then a carnitas taco, with salsa roja instead of their tomatilla, and a barbacoa taco (I would have gone Al Pastor, but had two pork tacos already). The pork tenderloin taco was okay. It definitely had some spice to it, which was nice, but the rest of the flavors kind of melded together. The barbacoa and carnitas were as wonderful as they always are. Pork, spicy red salsa, and cilantro are good. So is brisket, jalapeno relish, crema, and some pickled red onion. I used to rotate around between four different kinds and didn't really change here. This place is loaded with memories for me. Mostly all good. I wish I could come here with my wife still, but I can come back and enjoy the food and remember her for introducing me to the place. read more

While visiting my kid in Corvallis, Oregon, we decided to go out to Mexican. TacoVino is one of those local spots that visitors rarely find. We had to wait a bit for a table but the wait was so worth it. We started with the flaming queso which is served on fire and then the wait staff squeezed lemon to put the fire out. The queso was so good with a smoky flavor and not too heavy. I ordered the pozole bowl and a skirt steak taco without avocado. When the soup arrived, I was shocked! This was not a bowl but a swimming pool. I took my first bite and realized I just wanted to dive face first into the bowl. It was a mixture of warm spice, pork, veggies and warmth. The radishes added a cool, crisp flavor enchanting the experience. My taco was nice and spicy but not too spicy. My kid ordered a variety of tacos and enjoyed each bite. The tacos are sold individually so you can mix it up. We ended up having more food than we could eat and my kid took the leftovers home and said they were just as good the next day. The experience was amazing and the wait staff were on quick to refill drinks and check on us. While the restaurant was crowded, it was not too loud and we were able to enjoy our dinner and conversation. read more

Wonderful spot downtown!! They have so many innovative taco options, as well as the classics. Our server was super friendly and the patio is great for nice weather.

The food here is so good. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. The staff are all super nice, and the service is also very quick. They have both inside and outside seating as well. Proportions are also pretty good, and they have a great variety of food on the menu. I really like the Carinitas taco and the fish one. They also have an amazing house margarita, and they have one with mezcal too. They can also make all of their drinks non-alcoholic if you want the taste without all of the booze. Highly recommend, 10/10 food. read more

The food is so delicious and flavorful. Everything seems fresh and made in-house. The servers here are always nice and on top of everything. It takes a little long to get what you ordered, but the food is 100% worth it. Also the ambience is really cool and trendy. This is definitely a restaurant meant for a social, long dinner or lunch. In the spring and summer they have outdoor seating. Sometimes the wait to get in can be long, so be prepared. read more

I have eaten tacos for close to 60 years and hands down these are the most innovative and delicious tacos I have ever had. Short rib braised in red wine, wahoo fish and pork carnitas were perfect: plump, layered with flavor, perfectly rendered. Aarie our server was also exceptional! read more

A very pleasant surprise in the heart of Corvallis I thought the most outstanding part of the meal was the melted cheese ie the Queso Flambeado Different cheeses , roasted tomatoes , garlic, scallions topped off with tequila that is set aflame I would wait for the flames to die down before you dig in but the taste was amazing. It's got a kick to it but perfect with beer. I had a a Carnitas taco. There's a lot of meat for just a single taco and let me add that it is a freshly made corn taco. I will be returning to try some of the other dishes on the menu read more

Came to TacoVino during a weekend trip to visit a friend at Oregon state. We came on a Thursday at 5:30 and had to wait around 35 minutes for a table. While we waited we were able to order drinks that were then delivered to us in the waiting area. I had the prickly pear margarita and it was sooo good. When we were finally seated we got the guac as well as the chips and salsa. As you can see from the picture we devoured the guacamole, it was truly delicious. The guac is served as ingredients so you have to mash it yourself, which was a fun experience. Overall in my opinion the guac is a must order. They also gave us some other salsas to try besides the normal red and green and they were very unique and tasty. Everyone enjoyed their tacos, and our server was attentive and generous. I ordered the steak taco and the fish taco. The steak was extremely tender and delicious. The fish taco was just as good. It was cute and dimly lit inside and worth the wait time for seating. Overall this is a great place to go if you don't mind waiting for seating. read more

Fun spot that serves pretty good tacos. Came by for dinner and ordered three tacos: 1 - Al Pastor - this was my favorite taco, pork with the jalapeños and fresh pineapple worked well together. 2 - Korean Beef Short Rib - This taco was pretty good but was NOT a very good imitation of KOREAN FOOD. Still enjoyed it. 3 - Fish Taco - this was disappointing. Fish was deep fried, over cooked, and had a red sauce that DOES NOT work with fish. Avoid this one. Service was really good! Server was friendly and they brought me my food quickly. Menu had tacos and a few other dishes that were non taco related. They "make your own guacamole" appetizer was popular and looked like a fun group activity. They have several pages of alcohol options but zero dessert options. This is a good place to come in a group and enjoy drinks and a meal together. Just don't order the fish taco read more

In town for OSU college visit, we were pleased to find this place. Fun downtown location and efficient staff!!! I sounds "Tex-mex" and they do have AMAZING salsa and many fun margaritas & sangrias--but they also have other salads/entrees. Best beet salad (& amazing chicken) I've had in quite awhile. Other dishes included tacos. EVERYONE happy and would return!! read more

Service was friendly tacos and chips with red salsa were all delicious. Al pastor and duck tacos were our favorites. I also ordered the pozole and I would definitely skip that next time. Bland flavor and filled will mushy tortillas and an over abundance of soggy shredded cabbage which were both off putting. Stick with the tacos and sit on the patio and you will enjoy yourself, read more

Today, I'm adding the 5th star. I've gone back many times to this lovely spot, and I can't rave the staff enough. This is a dedicated and hardworking crew. The barkeep is next level. His cocktails are clutch, and he will introduce you to new spirits to tantalize your taste buds. I discovered more of the tiki inspired cocktails, too. Although Corvallis doesn't have a tiki bar, you can get your tiki on right here. I really need to tell y'all about the mushroom appetizer. At my very first visit, I was not impressed by the salsa that comes with the chips. Not the green or red. That took me on a journey to try other apps at my visits. The day I discovered the fried mushrooms tossed lightly in corn meal was the day I knew how truly special Tacovino is. These little popcorn style mushrooms have a perfect texture that's so bursting with flavor you may just order one whole plate for yourself. They have a Chile-Lime-Crema drizzled on top, and each bite is a crispy delight. You can ask for vegan style drizzle if needed. Don't delay. You want to eat here, but save me a place at the bar. read more

If you are an adventurous eater and you're looking for a cool place to chill and have a few drinks this is the place. The restaurant is in an old warehouse and it's in there with a few other establishments so finding it is a tiny bit tricky. Parking adds to the trickiness. There are meters, private lots, and free spaces so choose wisely. Once inside the staff will seat you but you are packed in with others. That could be good or bad in my case I was entertained by a group of young ladies consoling one who had a basket of emotional issues and wasn't shy about sharing them loudly. I mean dude...seek therapy. The interior is awesome it's fun and hip. Exposed beam ceilings and nice furniture fun stuff to see it's a cool environment. The staff are excellent my waiter, Jack was a good guy. Just the right amount of personality and attentiveness. The food is fusion tacos and Mexi Asian dishes. I got 3 tacos, a peaking duck, Korean short rib, and a carnitas. 3 tacos filled my belly nicely. The rub is they were tasty and really clever but the meats were over cooked. The actual Mexican taco in my trifecta was super dry. This was almost disappointing since the taco joint got the traditional taco the most wrong. Overall the pace is a good choice, it's lively happy and busy inside which says a lot. The food was good but not great to balance that statement the cost was super low. 3 tacos $18 bucks, I left a healthy tip because the waiter was great read more

Good service and great food! They have all sorts of tacos. I've even had a chicken pasta Alfredo taco here as part of their daily special. The traditional beef Barbacoa and pork carnitas tacos are my favorites but their house made chips, guacamole and flaming queso are the bomb! Great margaritas too! Not too sweet and I really like that! A little bit pricey but we get it as an occasional treat when we want something fun. read more

Sit down taco restaurant which seemed like an upscale option for the local students. The place was packed when we showed up but we were able to get a seat at the bar. It was quite loud in there, but the ambiance was otherwise good. They have a good selection of- you guessed it- Tacos. I tried the special (Schnitzel), beef and chicken. The tacos were OK but at the end just so so and certainly not authentic. House Margaritas are poured from a tap, so nothing top shelf there either. That being said, the whole dinner was relatively reasonable. OK option, but nothing great. read more

Came here for dinner a couple of months ago and had a wonderful experience. I had the red sangria which was yummy and the chicken curry taco that was tasty! Such a vibrant fun place, cute decor, quick service, friendly waiters/waitresses/hostess, menu has plenty of variety - I believe there was even duck on the menu! Would definitely come back when I'm in the area again. There's also outside seating which is nice and ample parking. read more

Was in town for sister's graduation and we decided to try the unconventional non authentic taco place. Wait time during graduation weekend and on a Friday night was about 15-20 minutes for a group of 3. Queso: I'm not the biggest cheese fan so I'm not the right person for this, but I thought it was a little salty. I also thought the top layer of the cheese was a little too charred and only liked the bottom uncharred cheese. Korean taco: Pretty good flavor however the pieces could been a little smaller or softer so that they could be bitten. I took a bite and had to take a huge piece of meat with me since it wouldn't tear. Skirt steak taco: Alright, steak was good. It was a little too creamy though. I wish there was less crema and more salsa. I even squeezed both limes over all of them and it still wasn't acidic enough. Carnitas taco: Decent taco, could use pico de gallo to be honest to liven it up a little. My mom got the peking duck taco which is the reason why we came here but she was disappointed. The toppings were good on the taco, but the duck itself was over salted and dry. If back in the area probably wouldn't come back since there seems to be another taco place that's better, but nice to try something new read more

My favorite restaurant in Corvallis! I love the different types of tacos they offer, and I am able to eat most of them even with my food sensitivities. The staff is always super nice and attentive. It's a popular place and gets a bit loud inside, but they have outdoor seating if you are sensitive to noise. They also have special tacos that are fun to try. The pork belly taco was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. I keep hoping it comes back again! read more

I was down in Corvallis at OSU for State Band competition and stopped in here for some tacos after the performance. It was a beautiful night so there was a bit of a wait for outside seating so we sat inside. The waitress was so helpful and fun. We started with the honey glazed roasted sweet potatoes. They were good. Not super flavorful but warm and delicious. We also got the smoked local baby potatoes. They came with chimichurri sauce which wasn't super flavorful. They were very smokey flavored. It was a little over whelming. Between the 4 of us we ordered smattering of tacos. The barbacoa-It was good, the carnitas(fabulous!-would order this again for sure, the tomatillos avocado salsa is spectacular), the Al pastor- this was good not my favorite, the Peking duck- the duck is very crispy and the flavors are unique with the orange and the fish taco which was incomparable-so good, craveable good! Overall, I would totally come back. Cool vibe, nice location, friendly service, great food. When I come back I'm getting the fish tacos and the carnitas. I think I'd try the guac too. Happy eating! read more

Great food great service BUT! I live in Eugene and go to Corvallis specifically for Tacovino, normally ordering 10-15 tacos and some soups. All very delicious however they are stingy with their sauce. If I say salsa matcha on the side I normally don't get it at all. If I say can I get enough green sauce for all of the tacos I get three little cups, which is not enough for the amount of tacos I order. Everything else FLAWLESS. Just need to work on the sauce output and ratio to amount of tacos ordered. read more

We visited on a Saturday in the summer ("off" season ). We were promptly sat indoors where the ambiance is vibrant and inviting. The business volume picked up quickly thereafter making me grateful we'd arrived early. The server was absolutely amazing! I wish I could recall their name to give them proper praise. The menu is smaller for this size venue but the flawless execution of what's on it makes the impact of that a lot less. If you're a selective or limited variety eater, I'd recommend checking out the menu before visiting. The wine emphasis was a little odd if I'm being honest. However, if the food is this tasty, carry on with the oddities. Absolutely worth a visit and another after that. A great job to all at TacoVino for a great experience! read more

TacoVino takes tacos to smother level. The atmosphere is comfortable, the food is pretty good, and the service is good (especially considering how busy they get).

Expensive but worthy. Skip the chips and order another Taco. The Tacos are worth skipping the chips. The Good: Wow what a great place. The price is per taco but you get a larger than street size taco with tons of quality fillings. All three of the Curry, Short Rib, and Al Pastor tacos were something else. I wish Ibhad the Barbacoa & Fish taco. The short ribs races are by far the best. They were absolutely amazing. Perfect blend of sweet and savory. I added some green salsa from the chips and it was a strong move. I could eat a whole meal of just these. I've never had a curry taco but it was also amazing. Peanuts on top made it even better. Only thing I could think that might make it better was chppped peanuts so they are more evenly distributed. The Opportunity: Paying $5 for a bowl of chips and salsa is annoying but understandable. It would be nice they offered a refill option for $3. We had plenty of salsa but with 5 orders of chips for 10 people, the $25 for chips and salsa was too extra. Lots of wasted salsa, and I hate waste. read more
