    Plastic

    First time ordering from this place, tacos were good. I was happy with it until I took a bite of my third taco and pulled a piece of plastic out of my mouth. It made me completely lose my appetite and gag thinking about what might have been in the first two tacos that I didn't catch. :(

    Taco plate - two pollo, one asada.

    Tacos El Machin is a newish Mexican restaurant on the east side near the Whole Foods/Costco shopping complex off Greenwood. Next to Timbers Tavern. Despite the name, it's not just a taco joint. Space is a bit spartan but seating is comfortable. They have a back room bar although it wasn't open when I went during the noon hour. No customers at all at 11:30 but a few showed up in the next half hour. For some reason, I originally thought El Machin was a fast casual operation (order at a counter, take a seat) but no, it's a full service sit down place. I came for tacos so the taco plate beckoned. You get three tacos, rice and beans (black or pinto). - Pollo taco: fat tacos, tender chicken, very bland meat. Needs sauce. - Asada taco: fat tacos, tender beef, better seasoning than the chicken but still needs sauce. - Five hot sauces: they're all very tasty (the bottles are unlabeled). One is mild; the other five have various degrees of kick; none are super, burn-your-mouth hot. - Pinto beans: solid - Rice: needs a good helping of pico but that's much like everyone else's rice. As mentioned, the menu includes other non-taco offerings such as tortas and burritos, fajitas and a bunch of shrimp dishes. No enchiladas or rellenos so they differ from your typical Mexican restaurant in that regard. The website is fully functional and has a good downloadable menu. Quiet, reasonable prices, great service.

    i'm hella mexican and this shit is hella buss. 4.5 outta 5. 2 dollar tacos are hella gas, salsa hella good, habanero will burn your ass off, but good.

    First time trying this place , & lemme tell you , the food is BOMB, flavorful, affordable & good portions. The restaurant is very clean, the service is excellent & fast. Definitely one of my top recommendations of places to eat in bend.

    Chips and Salsa.

    Loved the salsa. Great street tacos. No fluff just good food. Found this place via Maps. Great little shop.

    3 taco with rice beans plate.  Only had one bite of rice before pic.  Beans and rice sucked.

    My review is based on price point vs taste, quality and quantity. The carne asada burrito is almost $17 so we expected a decent sized really good burrito but it was small and barely has anything in it. The meat is that typical cheap gristle type meat and it taste less than a $8 burrito anywhere else. The taco plate was $14 and same meat and style and barely any toppings. Just a few diced onions and picked onions and cilantro. Very bland and boring. The rice and beans are very very bland and was a super super small portion of both. Nice employees though. But I won't go there again.

    If you live in Bend or are just passing through, Spork is an absolute must-visit. The interior has…read morea cool, modern vibe that perfectly matches their eclectic Asian-Mexican fusion menu. The restaurant runs on a highly efficient counter-service model: you wait in line to order, and a server coordinates whether you want to grab a table inside or out on the patio. Once we were seated, our food came out incredibly fast. I had the Spicy Pork Noodles, and my partner got the Yellow Curry loaded with shrimp and pork belly. Both main dishes were packed with flavor, and the crisp cucumber salad was the perfect side to share. I also ordered a hard cider to wash it down. Everything was delicious from start to finish.

    We came over the hill on a Tuesday and randomly chose this place. Boy are we glad we did thiugh!…read moreThe food was amazing! So much flavor and the fusion was insanely good! 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!

    Great quick lunch!…read more We were able to order quickly at the counter and then find a place to eat out on the patio for our large group. The food came quickly and was all delicious. We tried four different tacos - all amazing, and a sidebof rice and beans that was so flavorful and large it could have been a meal itself!

    Looking for some post hike chow, we were traveling back into Bend and oh my my what caught my eye…read morebut El Sancho. I quickly turned left to check out this busy taco shop. Loved that all the food is homemade including the tortillas. We ordered the carne asada and chipotle tacos along with an order of eloté. We could not have been more pleased. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating and we grabbed a table under a big tree. The menu offers some great selections. I was tempted to try the chilaquiles but tacos always get me. Carmen's Famous Tortilla Soup looked really tasty as well, so it looks like I have a reason to return. Alcohol including tequila is also served along with refreshing aqua frescos. Our food came out fairly quickly and it was hot and ready to eat. Tacos were juicy and the eloté although not the best I have ever had still provided good flavor. Location is easy to find although parking was tight. Perhaps it was the time of day we came and it was a weekend. Service was quick and efficient. Ambiance was perfectly beautiful sitting amongst the trees. I would recommend should you find yourself in Bend stopping here for a little bit of Mexico!

    UNFORTUNATE FALL FROM GRACE. Hablo use to be our go-to for years. We started noticing a real change…read moreabout a year ago with minor changes to their menu. Guessing they had a change in either their head chef or ownership; not sure. The last couple times we've gone we have been so surprised because they were completely dead at dinner time which was unusual...guessing others have had the same experience. Time before last I ordered a salad with the crunch bowl (nobody can turn down the crunchy tortilla salad bowl...right!). When they brought the salad without the bowl I mentioned to the girl that I'd ordered the crunch bowl and she looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language as if she had no idea of what it was, along with a dose of a super rude attitude. Then as everyone else eats their meal and finishes I wait over 15 minutes to get the missing part of my order, all while the restaurant was dead as a doornail. I've worked in restaurants in my years and if that happens it's typically first priority if someone is missing part of their order to avoid just that. We went back tonight to give it another shot and noticed it completely dead again at dinner time which is so odd because in years past it's typically slammed with people. Met again with rude employees who treat you as your inconveniencing them by placing an order. That was our last straw. Really bummed as it use to be SO good but they've lowered their quality of service down to the point where it's just not a good place to go anymore unfortunately. Add to that axing great menu items has them struggling to keep business coming in. Icing on the cake is they have recently gotten rid of their Morita hot sauce which might have been the best hot sauce ever made in human history. Don't get me wrong it's a still a big step up from Taco Bell but if you're living on the Eastside, that gem of years past is slowly dying away. I'll miss you Hablo!
