Reviews for 1960 Cocina in Eugene, OR
Authentic! Cute and clean! You could close your eyes and randomly pick anything on the menu and it will exceed expectations. I... wish they cooked with a bit more spice, but I understand not everyone likes their food spicy Read more
I was very disappointed. I first ate here before the pandemic and service and food were wonderful. I returned a few days ago and... should have suspected things were no longer as great. My first hint was the place was empty at dinner time and my second clueshould have been that prices rose a lot. Probably because of the lack of customers. Their menu was changed, service was veryslow and the food was not much better than a local and lousy taco stand. I will not come back. Amazing that they went fromhaving the best and most authentic Mexican food in town to joining the bottom 5 places no one looks forward to sitting andeating dinner at. Read more
The homemade tortillas are amazing. The food is delicious. Try the Hibiscus Margaritas.
This is the first time I've been to a restaurant where every single bite was delicious with authentic, hand crafted flavor. The... rice felt like a dish on its own with how flavorful it was, same with the beans, the salsa, the doughy house made tortillas. Thechips came out hot. If you live in Eugene, you HAVE to give this place a try. It is "pricier" but you get what you pay for andwe walked out happy and full. Some tips: Chips are an appetizer item, but once you order, chips are all you can eat. If youwant extra rounds of salsa, you need to pay. Certain entree items come with the different salsas though! Restaurant is small,probably not ideal for large groups (there is a surcharge for parties 7 or greater I believe). We ended up waiting about an hourto be seated for a party of 3, but we felt it was worth the wait. Parking lot is small too. EDIT: We are still talking aboutlast night's meal and discussing what other menu items (aguas frescas, the flan) we want to try next time. That's how good itwas. Read more
We had dinner with our friends. The menu is simple but with great selections. From starters, tacos, entrees and desserts. Don?t... forget to ask for the drink for today. We ordered two small starters and each of us got tacos. I particularly recommended theadobaba. Read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. I've been many times in all the years they've been open and have never been disappointed pre or... post pandemic. Yes, their prices went up but that's our economy. I don't know of any other Mexican restaurant in town usingLOCAL SMALL FARM MEAT! That's what makes this place stand out. I have never felt that the meal wasn't worth the price and I'vealways left stuffed or with leftovers. And the flavors!! Their food is amazing. I never eat beans but theirs are so perfectlylightly smokey? I don't know, but I love them. They make their corn tortillas by hand to order?!? They smell like fresh groundcorn on a masa stone. They're amazing. I've loved all the meat entrees and my girlfriend just had their shrimp and we bothimmediately commented on how untypically large the portion was. This place is a must visit for authentic and ethical Mexicanfood! Read more
