Eugene

Tio Pepe Mexican Restaurant serves familiar Mexican classics, including mole dishes such as chicken en mole, enchiladas and carne asada. Diners often single out the beans and rice, and the mole sauces lean more toward spice than chocolate.

Lunch and dinner are served daily except Monday, and orders can be placed online through the restaurant's site. Portions are generous and prices are moderate, and a semi-private room suits larger groups. The restaurant is on River Road in Eugene, a short drive from the neighborhoods around it.
