“ This is the only spot to get tacos. They PACK them full of meat, they're dripping with flavor, and affordable at $3.50 each. The service is always quick, friendly, and consistent. I live out of town but any time I come to corvallis I ALWAYS stop here. I would be full of regrets if I didn't. ”
“ Came here on the suggestion of a local (we're not local) and we were not disappointed. Ordered 4 tacos and a burrito and both were really good. Especially loved the big pinto beans in the burrito - they were packed with flavor, and the salsas were delicious. It's tucked away behind a building so not the nicest atmosphere but most everyone we saw was ordering take away, otherwise there's one picnic table. ”
“ Nice quiet place for lunch, acceptable environment for something quick, and have a lot of option for drinks too. Specially for today, the price are not even expensive! Taco, burrito and drinks only $17. I believe I got the food within 5 mins, it’s so quick! And a lot of food and taste good! Damn! Beef are better than chicken here in my opinion. And I prefer taco here than burrito. ”
“ My partner and I have had burritos from this spot probably twice a month for the last year or two. This is the BEST burrito spot in town. It's fast, it's delicious, and it's insanely affordable. Occasionally we will eat in and have a couple margaritas or beer. It's kind of dark inside but the restaurant is clean and the people are warm and friendly. I hope you never change! But, if you have to just up the price, and give us the same good food. ”
“ I have never had a bad experience here. The food is tasty and affordable. However, I've only ever had their excellent tacos. The salsa is good, but sometimes a bit too spicy. Somebody here said it was comparable to Riva's. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Riva's is the McDonald's of Mexican food. Seriously, they put lettuce on their enchiladas. There are so many Mexican places better than that, and Tacos El Machin is great. ”
