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 world!?!?! Enjoy!

Every time we go to Lane’s, I’m more impressed than the last. The food is delicious, the service is great, and the people are super nice and helpful. I’m always excited to see what the special will be and I love trying the different limeade flavors. Please go eat here. It is more than worth it.

It’s going down at Lane’s Quickie Tacos!! So much flavor in your face hole. Incredible tacos and ambiance. Star wars meets the walking dead meets Texas smoked meats in Fairbanks.
Lanes a cool cat and his tacos are amazeballs!! Genuinely down to earth and homey vibe. Every taco is crazy tasty. Excellent bang for your buck in homemade tortillas with smoked meats and freshly grown toppings.
All the tacos have fun names like the Merican and the Po Boy. Suggestion: taco name – express lane and maybe a fast lane taco. These tacos are under priced for all the flavor they deliver. The almost award winning soup was insanely tasty.
If you’re looking for the tastiest tacos in Fairbanks, you have arrived. Come have tacos or punch yourself in the face!

Lane’s is so great! The have quick service with delicious, flavorful tacos. They have a lot of options for the meat eater and the vegetarian. It’s great that you can come in any of the tacos for the $9 for 2 meal. I loved their in-house made hot sauce. Finally hot sauce with real flavor. Definitely going again!

Very friendly staff and tidy restaurant. We had the barbacoa, the Texan, and the Merican. All were great, meats well seasoned and moist. In case you prefer corn tortillas, they use flour tortillas that taste amazing!

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 Eagle River).

Amazing tacos! Super friendly staff. I’ll be honest, I’m not generally a fan of smoked meats but Lane’s nailed it with delicious flavor combinations. If you’re in Fairbanks you should definitely check it out. You won’t be disappointed!

So glad I finally stopped by! Really enjoyed the elote/squash taco, the Alaskan, and the Po Boy. Got the limeade – today’s flavor was raspberry and very refreshing.
