15 Best Taco Restaurants in Bend

“Best street tacos I’ve had in the last 10 years in Bend. Prices can’t be beat. Red salsa is amazing 🤩“

“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.“

“Super nice people running a WONDERFUL food cart. The only thing bigger than the portions are their smiles! Very similar food to the many street vendors my son and I experienced in Mexico City and Oaxaca this fall. Worth driving to if you’re in the mood for authentic comida Mexicana. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“This place has the best chicken tenders in central Oregon. Crispy, thigh meat cooked to perfection. Plus their fries are one of a kind!

To the owner: This would absolutely be a 5 star review except you don’t offer blue cheese as a dip. If you have buffalo sauce, you gotta have blue cheese :( PLEASE ADD BLUE CHEESE!!!“

“The Camarones Al Cilantro is an absolute must when dining here! The shrimp are cooked perfectly and very tasty. The Alpastor taco is fire...best in town. The Serrano Hot Sauce, it is my new favorite and I would like to buy a bottle for home. It's so flavorful and has just the right kick, it's a nice change from the typical hot sauces at all the other shops in town.“

“Oysters are so fresh! Also love the steelhead Caesar salad and the Calamari Fries!“

“they have the best French fries, very lite and delicious-- almost taste good for you. love the veggie tacos and their home made lemonade. my hubby likes their regular tacos and French fries. Definitely recommend“

“The breakfast burrito is amazing. We had to split it, it was so stuffed. We got it with steak and were definitely satisfied! :)“

“Absolutely great food and terrific prices“

“Great food and great customer service. One of my favorite places to eat on a weekly basis. The price is great for the amount of food you receive.“

“Best Mexican food in town“

“I'm disappointed in myself for waiting so long to try this place! The restaurant is very clean and well lit and the staff is super friendly. We tried the fish tacos, shrimp tacos and pork street tacos. All were exceptional! The salsa bar is amazing with tasty salsa, crisp pickled carrots and yummy grilled onions with whole jalepeno! And the best part... the price! It's hard to find any food places open past 9pm or affordable anymore, in Bend. I'm happy to say, " We've found our new spot!"“

“They don't clean the room unless you ask. They don't change towels for 5 days, you put them in the hall. Told the desk the coffee maker did not work and they did nothing. Told them the phone handset didn't work and they went hrumph.“

“We stopped in a couple days ago because of a medical appointment nearby and were pleasantly surprised with the flavors of their tacos. J had the Rockfish and loved them. T had the GF tacos and they were delicious (no reactions)!! We will be back!!“
