SANTO DE LA TORTA

The Best Restaurants in Eugene, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Smashed between the campus outpost of Hey Neighbor and ice cream favorite Prince Pückler’s, Santo De La Torta is a semi-newbie to Eugene specializing in Mexican sandwiches. Order at the counter. In the morning, folks can find items like breakfast burritos and egg tortas on Hideaway Bakery sourdough expanding into brunch items on the weekend like lemon-ricotta pancakes and chilaquilles. Meanwhile, the main menu includes a feast of seven different tortas (Think: a saucy, juicy stewed chicken in salsa verde stuffed in a split brioche roll with shredded lettuce and pico), in addition to burritos, tacos, and salads. There are fresh margaritas with Tajin rims and agua frescas, in addition to beer, which is $1 off during the 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday happy hour. The space features a small indoor and outdoor seating area, but customers can also order meals to-go." - Brenna Houck
