    Veggie nachos and Negra Modelo.
    Michelle R.

    Food: 5 Stars for the veggie tacos. Very flavorful. 2 Stars for the veggie nachos because it was too basic and need more beans in them as meat substitute. Drinks: All beers are either in can or bottle. The cashier said, the only thing on "tap" was the margaritas. Service: The cashier was also the server and she was super friendly. Ambiance: The decor looked fun and colorful. Outdoor Seating: Available with a few umbrellas available. Parking: Street parking on Arizona or nearby streets or at the Box Factory parking lot.

    Great tacos, great drinks, great location. I love finding good tacos outside of Mexico and Southern California!

    Hands down best tacos I've had in Bend! So delicious and lots of options. So much flavor and salsa was slightly hot. I also enjoyed a churro was heavenly. Very cute ambiance that feels like you are in Mexico, or San Diego. Very colorful with plenty of seating both inside and outside on the patio. I will absolutely be back!

    Best Mexican food in town. Chain restaurant from the one in Portland. Great quality and flavors

    Brought my mom here for her 89th birthday dinner and it was superb! Lovely ambience, fast and friendly service. Margaritas were tasty, steak quesadilla was delicious and flavorful with green chiles in it. The steak burrito was amazing as well. Talking to folks at the next table, apparently the Birria Burrito is phenomenal as well. Will have to come back to try that.

    Super breakfast burrito.

    Excellent breakfast burrito! This coming from someone who orders many. They grill the tortilla and brush it with the juices of something, probably the birriera. Speaking of which, the Birriera Quesadilla is a must order! No health or cost of living fee and they bring your order to you: this sure ain't Portland. Great spot for outside dining. A very long wait though. The female cashier and server was friendly.

    Cute place with kind people. Chorizo breakfast burrito is fire. Tastes just like the chorizo my mom would cook up w eggs

    I remarked recently that not long ago, I had never heard of birria. Now it's everywhere. Apparently it's not a nationwide phenomenon, more a local one. I don't know. Anyway, here we have another new taco shop in town, this one also offering, among more standards items, birria tacos, burrito and a quesadilla, which I opted for. - QuesaBirria: a fairly large quesadilla cut into quarters and served with the usual tub of dipping sauce (au jus). Pretty tasty. - Side of pinto beans: I like beans with my Mexican food and Papi Chulo's are solid although maybe not the tastiest in town. Prices are reasonable, service is quick. I don't know it for a fact but I believe Papi Chulo's is affiliated with River Pig Saloon, which is next door at the Box Factory. Same owner and kitchen talent anyway. As with the other establishments in this row of the Box Factory, along with some inside seating, there's a nice patio area. Liquor license pending (so maybe the River Pig affiliation is the way to go there).

    Birria burrito with broth
    Josh G.

    I've been excited to try this place since they announced they were opening a location in Bend. I'd like to give it a 3.5, but considering they've been open only 1 week, I'll give then the benefit of the doubt that they will continue to improve on what was already a pretty good experience. The space has a great vibe, laid-back and airy. The staff was great and the food came out quickly. Impressive considering how busy they were. I ordered the Birria burrito. The burrito was loaded with meat and cheese with a nice amount of onions and cilantro. The broth was pretty good, although I could have used a little more intensity or depth of flavor. Overall, the burrito dipped in the broth made for a great bite. Other than the broth, my only complaint is that the burrito could have benefited from a little more time on the griddle to crisp it up and maybe give it a little color. By the end of each half, the bottom just kind of fell apart. It's bound to happen with all that juicy beef and the broth I guess. My friends ordered some tacos and were split on their reviews, but iverall fairly positive. They appeared to be typical street taco size, so I imagine it would take 3-4 to be a full meal. Again, for being open only a week, there were a lot of positives and I look forward to going again and trying some of the other items on the menu, although it's going to be hard not to order the Birria burrito or tacos!

    Great margaritas and tacos! And the happy hour options were great. My 2 year old was also a big fan of the quesadilla and guacamole

    I have a complicated relationship with El Sancho. First off, I absolutely hate their little green…read morelight means "come in" and red light means "stay outside" gimmick. What is this, a taco shop or an airport runway? Leftover COVID trauma? I don't know, but this building literally burned down and they rebuilt the entire thing from the ground up and STILL brought back this stupid little light system. Commitment to the bit, I guess. Then you go inside, order your food, and they ask where you want to sit like there are options. Buddy, we both know I'm ending up outside on a picnic table fighting wind gusts and temperature swings like I'm on an Oregon Trail reenactment. I hate outdoor seating. Humanity invented buildings for a reason. No bugs. No napkins flying into traffic. No "it's warm... wait now it's cold... wait now the sun is directly attacking my forehead." All you "let's sit outside!" people are completely insane. Now onto the important part: the tacos. Specifically the barbacoa tacos or whatever black magic they're using back there. These things are unbelievable. Fresh, flavorful, messy in the perfect way, and somehow worth every ounce of annoyance this place causes me. The food here is so good the staff can have a little arrogance about it and honestly? They've earned it. Every time I eat here I leave mildly irritated and completely satisfied. Crowded. Loud. Not comfortable. Absolutely phenomenal tacos. Five stars. Best tacos in Bend. Maybe the best tacos anywhere. And yes... I'll be back again and again like an idiot.

    First off, love the patio dining. I can bring our small Lhasa Apso doggie…read moreNext the black beans and rice outstanding Tacos great variety I Order Carnitas tacos With a bowl of Carnitas for my Sarah Mexican Coke Every time well almost every time when shopping in Bend I stop in rain or shine Thank you
