Such good food, cool and kind service, and Norberto is a king who makes us feel welcome. The queso was a favorite. I had spinach enchiladas I liked. My parents had steak and prime rib tacos they loved. Not skimpy street tacos. They were stuffed which was appreciated. The fresh lime margarita and fresh watermelon margarita were super good. The place is beautiful. I know it’s a chain but it is a beautiful one. Sweating is comfortable. It is a bit loud but not the dumb loud you can’t converse. We did and had such a good time. The staff was impressive and responsive. Their system allowed for wildly fast service. I love that they all seem happy to be there. I’m excited to be back in warmer weather when they have outdoor seating.
Had an amazing experience from start to finish! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, the drinks were top-notch, and the food was both authentic and full of flavor. The atmosphere perfectly blends modern and urban vibes, creating a stylish yet comfortable setting. Highly recommend!
Table side Guacamole, Quesa Birria, upscale atmosphere and very friendly staff...what more could you want from the newest Mexican restaurant in Eugene. We went here for a family member’s birthday and were pleasantly surprised with how nice it was. Our food was amazing, they can easily handle bigger groups and have a decent kids menu with Mac and cheese! We will definitely be back.
Dinner at Mezcaluna Mexican Restaurant in Eugene, OR is a must. The Carnitas tacos were outstanding and the fresh guacamole prepared at the table was a nice surprise. Very delicious. -Eating with family, Priceless. ...
We were here for 5 de mayo, we got the fajitas and it was really good. Loved the food and it came out super fast we were shocked!! It was quite noisy, had a very lively ambiance (especially with the mariachi) and a quite crowded at the tables for 2. Service was great but don't recommend if you want something quiet. Get ready to be within an arms length of the people beside you unless you have a bigger party with a bigger table. - things fell off the table twice because of people walking by.
What a beautiful restaurant. Very large white leather booths with Agave sculptures and large glass pendant lights. Covered patio seating as well as large windows that allow lots of natural light. I ordered the Tlayuda and my friends ordered the ribeye tacos, the shrimp enchiladas and the carne asada. We shared the pork belly bites as an appetizer. Amazing food. Quality fresh ingredients. Fantastic presentation. Great service. Came here for lunch after my wife and daughter ate here and told me how good it was. My friends had never been either. We all left the restaurant looking forward to coming back soon. The ribeye tacos looked amazing. Because it was a business lunch we didn’t order alcohol but they have a swanky bar with a wide selection of top quality tequila and other alcoholic beverages. I ordered the house made Tamarindo non alcoholic drink. It was served in a cool looking Aztec style glass. Plenty of parking. It’s very near Valley River mall. Aside from Royal India, Mezcaluna is the only noteworthy restaurant in that area.
Nicely decorated. We visited for lunch on a weekday around 130pm, it was not crowded at all! Food was delicious and fresh, very short wait time. Extensive menu with many vegetarian options. Fabulous service and Great cocktails. Highly recommend, A!
Nice to finally have a restaurant that isn’t a chain next to VRC. Great food where you don’t have to drive through the chaos of downtown Eugene. Service was great, the chairs were really comfortable and the overall ambiance and decor was nice. More upscale from your typical Mexican restaurant. The prices were reasonable. I got the Luna Burrito with chicken (15) and it was incredible. Chips and salas were complimentary and fresh. Margarita flight (29) was delicious although some of the flavors were indistinguishable to me but still tasty, I did wish there was more of a kick to them- couldn’t really taste the tequila, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Overall, we will be back for some more yummy food and great service!
