Taco El Machin

A true hidden gem among Bend’s big-name Mexican spots — and honestly, one of the best meals we’ve had anywhere. The flow when you walk in is a little quirky, but once you’re seated, treat yourself to a passionfruit margarita (made right there!) and kick back. Pro tip: hit happy hour — they’re only about $6, and dangerously easy to love. Next, they bring out a rainbow lineup of in-house salsas, from sweet and tangy to “kick-you-in-the-pants” hot. The avocado salsa? Chef’s kiss. 🥑🔥 If you like spicy, you must order the Molcajete Bowl La Diabla. It’s basically a protein volcano — shrimp, carne asada, chicken, pork, cheese, all simmering in a sauce so good we were scraping the bowl like it was our job. (Not actual nutrition facts, but it’s easily 300+ grams of pure flavor.) The tacos are sp

Great spot! Jade was our server and was very welcoming and attentive! Awesome deals on their specials and generous portions. They offer $5 margaritas on Tuesday’s, which are absolutely delicious, plus $3 dollar beers. Free chips and salsa which is a bonus and $2 tacos that are pretty tasty. Nice bar with video lottery as well. If you’re getting tired of the high restaurant prices in Bend come here and you’ll definitely get the most bang for your buck without giving up quality food and service!

Good tacos, heavy duty burritos, amazing molcajete, dang good drink pricing and great service. My new favorite spot. Their molcajete comes fully loaded with shrimp, chicken, and carne asada along with a plate of rice, beans and tortillas. You can easily split it with 2-3 people. They run different daily specials too, happy hour cocktails as low as $5 and most beers are $3. They have a half dozen different salsas too and they are all really good. Can’t wait to go back again, this is my new favorite dine in spot.

Probably the best tasting Mexican food I’ve had in Bend in a long time! I had steak fajitas. Really bold flavor on the marinade. Decent portion. Well cooked. Average/ slightly price for Bend. Their homemade sauces are delicious. I loved the creamy serrano— nice and spicy green sauce. The service was also quick, efficient and friendly. If I had to have one critique, I wished they had cut the steak against the grain; it was a little chewy. I’m coming back to try the birria taco plate and the $2 tacos on a Tuesday or Friday.

The food amounts are huge! The drinks are delicious and $5 cocktails! The service is amazing! Lets keep this business here :)
