Every time I'm in Eugene, I always hit the Mexican market before I leave. They have everything I need and expensive selection. I absolutely love their meat counter!
This market has delicious produce, meats, and other authentic Mexican/ Latin American grocery products. The food in the small restaurant inside the grocery store has a delicious breakfast burrito and I'm excited to try the other dishes on the menu! The staff are very friendly and there is ample parking. A great local and authentic Latin American grocery store that I love to shop at for my daily household needs.
Mexican American from the Los Angeles area (don't hate I love Oregon as is) so happy to have a great little Mexican Market in town. I love this place everyone who works here exemplifies the kind loving family oriented hospitable nature of my people, always smiling busy working to keep the shelves full, I love when my people know to speak Spanglish, it's always 'Hola, how can I help you help you at the meat counter in back and the deli up front; the football players know where to get the best deals on delicious tacos! Lots of fresh exotic veggies if you don't know what it's for, just ask like Nopales aka Cactus, so good for diabetics, delicious you must try it once, frozen specialties too try the cheese they're naturally low in fats, our sorta like feta is better than feta! The cashiers are always there with a big beautiful smile, but my favorite are the guys in the back... what can I say they remind me of all my Tio's back in Mexico... hands down Mexican food is the best and this Market is my go too! Also it's clean and dosent smell funny.
Friendly staff, good prices, good food. We purchased some chorizo and pastor. Many yummy dishes were prepared.
Taco Tuesday is amazing! 6 tacos for 10$ you can't go wrong there. And The service is very nice!
My girlfriend and I had lunch here and had their tacos they were simple and reminded me of the street tacos that I had when I was in Puerto Vallarta. It has a good variety of meats and vegetables, unique grocery items, and friendly staff. This is a great place for all your Mexican grocery needs.
Wonderful meats, and friendly staff. Great prices and a fabulous selection. Couldn't ask for more!
Happy Cinco de Mayo Mexico! We celebrated you with beautiful yummy food from El Torito Meat and Grocery! The rice is seriously to die for! I get quart containers of beans and rice with fresh guac spicy salsa and yummy freshly made tortillas! Also, we can't forget the beautifully made pan dulce! My kids got to have a treat, they also have the big bottles of jarritos! I love perusing the meat market they have so many things I've never seen before, (pro tip walk up and down every isle there is so much deliciousness packed in there)! They have fresh cheeses and a really cool "bulk" section. On Saturday and Sunday they also have the most delicious moist grilled chicken! Also, looking for beautiful fresh flowers at an affordable price for Mother's Day this weekend? They have them! I could not believe the price! Definitely a must see Eugene!
How did I never go into this market before? This market is clean, reasonably priced and carries a variety of items needed to make Mexican food. The bakery looks fresh and smells delicious. There's a huge variety. The produce looks great! It's fresh and prices are on point. They have a little bit of everything. The chili is selection is off the chain. If you need a dried chili they have it. The meat market is also amazing and sells pretty much everything I could want at prices lower than other places in town and still are excellent quality. If you need something for latinx or Asian cooking this place is it. I'm driving back to Eugene just to go here!!
