★★★★★ 5.0 Angie Avila · Mar 2026

Located in Eagle River 😊. Excellent customer service in Spanish or English. Ample parking and generous portions starting at $12 (food) and $7 (drinks). Open 9am-8pm. Large and nice atmosphere. Great place to enjoy Mexican food!

Excellent spot. The Menudo was so so good on a cold day. Rich broth. Shrimp Taco was on point, good sauce. Birria Taco didn't come with any kind of dip but didn't really need it. Carne Asada Taco was average. Horchata was a bit watered down. Clean and warm. Nice bathrooms. Shame you can't see it better off the main road. Will be back to try other stuff.

Made a pickup order here via DoorDash. They put my drink in the bag with food, knotted and taped it to the point where you would have to rip into the bag. This tells me everything is secure otherwise why not leave the drink out or not pour it until I pickup and then I could ask once I arrived. Drink spilled all inside the bag and over the main food item. So all I was able to eat was the one taco in a sealed container. Paid $32 for one taco. Taco was good though.

El Pastor is hands down one of the best spots in Eagle River! Like, I’m not even exaggerating. The food is straight fire every single time. The tacos? Unreal. The birria? Life-changing. L The vibe is super chill, the portions are generous, and you can taste how fresh everything is. It’s the kind of place that makes you mad you didn’t find it sooner. If you’re anywhere near Eagle River and don’t stop here, you’re seriously missing out. This is my new go-to spot, 100%. 🌮🔥

The website does NOT do this place justice! We had a quick 15 minute wait, got a 2 top in the middle of the main area. The server came over, got our drink order (we ordered water) and gave us menus. Great selection and VERY reasonable prices. We ordered Huevos Rancheros which were amazing! We asked for salsa and were pointed to their salsa bar! I highly recommend the avocado/jalepeno! Amazing food! Will definitely go back!
