Is there anything more cringey than when you go to order food on Door Dash and they have menu items to buy their staff drinks. Just a little desperate and tacky.

One of our go-to places for great tacos and decent margaritas. Fun atmosphere and great service. The line to order can sometimes be daunting, but it moves fast.

Hot damn this was good food and a great patio. Tacos are smaller, but they are V-good

Excellent tacos. Definitely street size, so its a bit of a premium, but nice quality. The beef Barbacoa was definitely the winner for us.

So glad this location is back open! The remodel looks incredible. The food was amazing as usual. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Food runner Reese was the best part of our dinner, making us laugh and helping with everything we needed! Can’t wait to be back

What happened to this place? Been eating here since 2015 and lately it's gone downhill.
It seems the El Sanch team is phoning it in, or they just don't care. These days we do a lot of pickup orders rather than eating at the Westside location. For the past year or so the team has been making a lot of mistakes on our orders. For every 10 take out orders I place, I'd say 8 of them will have a mistake.
Last time they gave us the wrong kind of tacos (we ordered barbacoa, they gave use chicken). The time before that they left out all the items for my wife, who has some food sensitivities so she can only eat certain items. The time before that they forgot the chips and there was a hair in my food.
Tonight, I checked my order before leaving the window out of necessity. Sure enough, they forgot to add an item. So when the girl came over, she seemed annoyed that I was checking the order. And when I pointed out the item they forgot, she went over to the line in a huff and got the missing item. When she brought it back she gave me a dirty look and didn't say anything as she turned and walked away. Like I was the bad guy...
In addition the regularly messing up orders, they just removed some of my favorite items off the menu. The barbacoa tostada was my go-to favorite. No more, now it's tostada nada because it's gone.
The specials over the past month or two have been lackluster and haven't really changed. All in all, El Sancho has been a Bend icon. You can still feed a family of four for under $50, which is nearly impossible in this day and age. But I hope the ownership team brings it back to its former glory. And although weed is legal in Oregon, maybe start drug testing. I've never seen a restaurant mess up so many orders with such regularity.
The best tacos, food & drinks are a little pricey though

Decent tacos, lame salsa. Assorted bottles of salsa you can buy in a big box supermarket, that's pretty lame. A good sign of an authentic taqueria is house made salsa, and that's not happening here.

So looking forward to their reopening. 🔥 Tacos. Great staff. Sweet view.

Ok food, but not at all Mexican. Just because you shove some meat in a tortilla, it does not make it for a Mexican taco. Good flavors but don’t expect Mexican food from this place.

Fantastic street tacos. The cheese tacos from the cart at Crux were exceptional! Cheers!
