I’ve lived 3 blocks away for the past couple years and Nelson’s is a staple for me & the wife.

The breakfast burrito was so delicious! The eggs were cooked to perfection, the bacon was crispy, and the salsa had just the right amount of kick. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. The atmosphere was cozy and authentic, and the service was top-notch. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious and authentic Mexican food in the Eugene area. Thank you Nelson’s Taqueria for a wonderful breakfast experience!

We aren’t from the area and went in search of street tacos…we ended up at this place however the little Taco truck was closed…across the street though is Nelson’s inside a historic looking house, I suppose they moved or are associated with one another? Either way if you end up at the taco truck like we did, just walk across the street lol…excellent street tacos and quesadillas! Although the beans for the quesadilla plate come directly on it, not on the side. I wasn’t expecting that but it tasted wonderful! Ask for the beans on the side though if you don’t want them inside lol

Excellent meal. I had the Taquitos & made it a full meal by adding Rice & Beans. I ordered Horchata to drink. The price was low, the food was incredible & the staff was even more incredible. There were 14 of us & every dish looked amazing. I took photos of 2 other folks dishes as well. A Nelson’s Burrito without Tortilla & Hard Tacos. My 4 Taquitos were not dry like at other places. Crunchy on the outside & melt in your mouth delectable inside. I had the Chicken, not the Beef. There was a good amount of Cotija Cheese & Guacamole on them with lettuce, Tomato & regular shredded Cheese as well. Most places skimp on the Cotija which irks me, but not here! The Refried Beans I could have just ordered a bowl full of & been happy. These were the best Refried Beans I have had yet in Lane County. The Rice was good. My Horchata was refreshing, just too sweet for me, (I am weird & don’t care for really sweet beverages.) so I shall not order it as my beverage again & stick to water. (I added water to it & it was fine.) The Chips & Salsa, I also could have made a meal of! Tri colored Chips & Salsa that was fresh & had just enough kick to it. I can’t eat spicy stuff & Salsa at so many other places is too spicy. These Chips did not taste store bought either, so these are officially my new FAVORITE Chips & Salsa! The staff there, as I had mentioned earlier were all so incredible. On point & so kind & frolicky! Is that a word? ♡ I regret not ever having come here sooner & I will be back for more happy eating adventures!

I want to like this place so much, especially in their new digs on the old Bari and Papa Soul site. Atmosphere, service and drinks are wonderful. The food just doesn’t hit the mark for me. Enchiladas were dry, meat chunky rather than shredded chicken breast that I much prefer. On a previous visit, the Burrito was pedestrian (in contrast to the wonderful burritos served at El Jaguar in SE Eugene). My wife’s hard tacos were equally disappointing. I’ll give Nelly’s another try because everything about it is lovely except the most important piece, the food.

This place has such a positive vibe and the food is good too! I recommend sit down vs take out – Did wet burrito and fish taco – the salsa is hotter at home Like to see a little more veggie but will go back.

Hours online showed they closed at 11pm, however when we showed at 9:20 they were closed. They had the main place open but the menu was completely different than what shows online for “Nelsons Tacos”. Extremely disappointed because we were traveling through and based our meal off their online info and waisted a lot of time trying to find our next meal.

The best tacos place in Eugene. The food is fresh and delicious. The chicken and fish tacos both were amazing. The side of habenaro, and chili sauce definitely enhanced the flavors more. Definitely a goto place for the tacos here.
