Lane's Quickie Tacos — Restaurant in Alaska

We were visiting from Eagle River, AK, for a couple of nights, and my husband found this place on google. The google pics (which looked super delicious) convinced us to give it a try and, since it was on our way to our hotel,  we figured we might as well; especially since we've tried different mexican restaurants in Eagle River and Anchorage and have been very disappointed (we havent found a place that has made us want to go back). I dont know if the owner (Lane) considers his cooking to be Mexican or just Tex-Mex but, i can honestly say, these taste like AUTHENTIC Mexican tacos. I kinda feel ashamed that he can cook better Mexican food, than myself (im a 1st generation Mexican-American). I am originally from Houston, TX and moved to Eagle River about a year ago so ive been craving Mexican street tacos and these truly hit the spot. I tried the Alaskan, Texan, 'Merican, and Dealio. I enjoyed all of them but, if I had to rate them from favorite to least favorite, it would be 'Merican, Dealio, Alaskan, and Texan. The only reason Texan was last is because I didnt like how all the beef juice destroyed my tortilla. Lane does have salsa, in the restaurant (i ordered take-out and it wasnt included, unless they forgot or you have to ask for it??), that has good flavor but wasnt as spicy as im used to. The place was a little hard to find, unless you know where to look. The best way to find it is to look for a floor sign, on the side of the road, that says "darn good tacos" with an arrow pointing towards Lane's. Parking is limited if the bar downstairs is full. Btw, dont let the amount of cars turn you away. I almost didnt go inside dreading it'd be a long wait for food; especially since I didnt realize Lane's shares parking with "The Marlin" (the bar downstairs from Lane's) As for the owner, he seems very down-to-earth. He takes an interest in knowing his customers and he also shares a little about himself. He was kind enough to meet me on Christmas Eve (even though Lane's tacos was closed) to return my credit card, which I accidentally left there the previous night. The only bad thing I can say about Lane's Quickie Tacos is that its located in Fairbanks (too far for me to enjoy from...

Lane was paying bills quietly when our party walked in. He stopped what he was doing to share with us his story and the story of Lane’s Quickie Tacos while he and a super friendly staff member assembled our massive order. I won’t give it away, but his story goes really well with the Texan and the Spring Chicken tacos. And definitely with the soup on a crisp October day. The food was incredibly fresh. It’s made with care and not just slapped together. They legit make their own tortillas from scratch and roll them out in front of you when you order. In-house made Poblano hot sauce is on point. Couple of craft suds options as well if you’re into a brew and a floppy foldable together.

The place looks like it was decorated by someone with a fun personality who’s into his own style. It totally works.

If you’re in Fairbanks and a taco fan, make the trip. If you’re into quality eats at great prices for the quality of the food and the experience, go twice. It’s what I did and I don’t regret it one bit. I give it a solid 5/5 crisp high fives, absolutely recommend and would return. Get the tee shirt and help spread the love for small...

Lane's Quickie Tacos is the taco hero we all need. Visitors here from NY and we were at the Museum of the North and needed a lunch that satisfied. Quick search of what is nearby and I knew immediately how badly we needed a quickie...taco. We zoomed on over to the small and adorable hut which had seating outside and in, very limited though, and were welcomed with a fun and expressive energy. We ordered our tacos, took a seat and boom the tacos were ready in about 5 to 10 min. Incredible speed for everything being so delicious and fresh. We couldn't try everything and seeing as we fly back to NY tomorrow I can't tell you if everything is great, but with what we had I'd safely assume it is. They are able to accommodate dairy free which is great too, if you have that type of dietary restriction. And if you read this far that's wild because I don't know how you aren't already convinced. Tell your friends and your enemies that Lane's the best tacos anywhere....in the...
