    Variety of tacos (chicken, mahi mahi, and shrimp)
    Karen L.

    El Sancho is a super casual mexican joint with the best tacos in Bend. We sat at a picnic table under a tree and thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks. Speaking of the drinks... killer margaritas. They look small but really pack a punch! My favorite menu items were the chicken tacos and shrimp tacos. Highly recommend for a casual lunch or dinner.

    Chilaquiles
    Diana C.

    The chilaquiles were pretty tasty and sizable portion. I liked the drink selection too, though was bummed at only canned or bottled drinks. One of my companions and I both had some indigestion afterwards, but overall the flavor and pricing seemed alright. The server was very helpful and this place gets you in and out quickly, which was very necessary for our party. Ambiance is quirky, bright, and fun. Seems like more of a summer hangout? Limited indoor seating, especially for larger groups.

    Family taco lunch

    Always outstanding! We come every summer! Shrimp, carne asada and potato poblano plus delicious chips and salsa are this year's fav. Shoutout to the staff for being thoughtful of my family member in a wheelchair.

    Food: 4.5 mics Service: 4.5 mics Ambiance: 4 mice Food: Tacos were bombastically delicious. I had carnitas, mahi and Oaxaca and chilis. All excellent. I would have done all Oaxaca and chilis, it was so good. Service: Walk up to order window and the person at the window was very friendly and helpful. Nothing over the top but certainly Bend friendly. Ambience: Hole in the wall status. Definitely a cool little joint for lunch to meet up with friends and family. When in Bend...come thru.

    El Sancho is one of the best places in Bend. Authentic Mexican food. Busy in the summer and worth the wait. Plenty of seating outside. This is our go to place when visiting Bend. Tacos are filling and delicious. Try them out on the Westside or the East side.

    Had a lovely lunch w/ friends at El Sancho! We shared chips and guac (delicious - the chips were nicely seasoned/salted), and I got 3 tacos (chicken, chorizo, and beef) along with a passion fruit limonada. Everything was flavorful and delicious, and the outdoor seating area is lovely on a nice day. Very casual vibes, and you bus your stuff yourself, and a perfect lunch!

    Happy hour menu

    We came here at the recommendation of a friend who lives in Bend and she couldn't have been more on point with this one! We were there for their awesome happy hour, tacos are three dollars and certain margaritas are discounted to $7.50. Being from San Diego we're pretty selective about our Mexican food choices but these tacos were legit really delicious!! I had a bite of the Carne Asada tacos my husband had ordered, nice firm chunks of beef and delicious seasoning. The Carnitas tacos I ordered were so good I normally only would eat one or two at the most but I ended up ordering a third taco. The chips and salsa are also on the happy hour menu for two bucks, the chips are homemade as well as the salsa you just can't beat that deal :-) also the staff here was outstanding and friendly great service a fun and funky atmosphere hands-down a winner in our book. We're from San Diego so we're pretty picky about our Mexican food choices and so glad that we were guided to this local gem.

    This place is awesome! So many selections to choose from. Never disappoints no matter what we order..

    This restaurant is literally one of my favorite places to eat every time we are in Bend. The service is super fast, their tacos are FIRE, and their margaritas sooo tasty - the mango margarita is a personal fave. There is not a whole lot of seating but every spot has been filled every time I go!

    Whenever I'm in Bend this is a must stop. I travel once or twice a year and always look forward to stopping. Food is great. Service on point and location is dope. Sometimes you have a wait but you'll get over it. It's tacos.

    Chips and salsa
    Nicole S.

    I visited El Sancho during my 24hr stay in Bend and loved their drinks and food. The casual outdoor vibe was perfect for a warm afternoon bike ride and the margaritas hit the spot. The service was quick and all of the tacos were tasty. I enjoyed the variety of options and would recommend this to anyone looking for a quick bite near the river and awesome breweries!

    Isabella N.

    Yummy tacos, but the wait was long and the portions are a tad small. The price point is ok, but there are definitely more authentic options out there.

    My gf and I are fully vaccinated so for Spring Break we drove down to Bend and there is a lot of good food there but this was easily our favorite spot! I am pretty sure this is the location we went to but honestly it does not matter as I'm sure all of their locations are amazing since we originally tried their taco shack at Crux and loved that so much that when we were driving by this location we decided to come again. The highlights are definitely the barbacoa and carnitas. We tried a lot of their tacos but those were the two that were the best because of their spice and flavor. I honestly do not think you can go wrong with anything here but if you come make sure you order at least one of each of those as they were both delicious and better than what you will find at most other places. Affordable and delicious so if in Bend this is a must try.

Just enough spicy without being too much. Ordering at the counter seemed interesting to me due to the layout of the dining room, but the staff knew exactly what they were doing and were able to direct us to a seat easily! Our food and drinks also came in a timing manner. I really appreciated that we could see all the way back into the kitchen and there was transparency between the kitchen and the consumers. The bar looked gorgeous and I would definetly like to sit there next time for the vibes. I also loved that they provided self-serve boxes, napkins, and utensils but still had a sign asking patrons to be concious of how much they're using. The overall flow between ordering, self serve, and dining was super efficient and nice! Can't wait to come here again!

On September 17th my family of four traveled from Madras to celebrate my birthday at your restaurant in Bend. It was the middle of the week and not very busy on a Thursday evening. We got seated right away, but as soon as we were seated the waiter came to our table and when we had questions he didn't answer in a very friendly manner. Then the ordering happened. It started with my son ordering a shirley temple and being brought a starry. When we asked for the correct drink again the waiter wasn't very happy to fix the mistake. It only got worse. We ordered our food. My daughter ordered a plain burrito, beans and cheese only, no sauce. It came out covered in sauce. We told her the waiter didn't seem very willing to help so to just eat it as was. We didn't complain. Then my son ordered a steak burrito with no tomatoes. It came out covered in tomatoes. Again we told him to just pick them off. Then I ordered a chicken burrito. I took three bites and only got beans. I asked my daughter if her burrito had chicken, maybe they mixed up our meals, nope only beans in hers too. I told my husband I didn't see any chicken in my burrito. He told me to look on the other side, maybe there was only chicken on one side. Nope. I finally sliced the burrito down the middle and still only found beans. So my husband called over the waiter and explained the issue. He rudely grabbed my plate and took it to the back. He came back to tell us they were remaking it and I asked for it to go since my family was already done eating at this point. He was visibly angry, but went back and did it. Then came back and very loudly told the people behind us he was so sorry for the inconvenience. NEVER did he tell us he was sorry for the mistakes we did bring up and we only brought up 2 of the 4. Our bill came and there was NO compensation for the wrong meal, that I didn't even get to enjoy with my family. No apology, no nothing. We headed home and my daughter was upset. I told her it was fine. Then she informed us that she had tried to talk to the waiter on her way to the restroom to tell him it was my birthday so it could be celebrated and he put his hand up and told her not to talk to him. This was our first time at your restaurant, it wasn't a busy night, and we were treated like complete garbage. I was so disappointed that we traveled so far just to get the service we got.
