  Muy delicioso!! Went basic with the street tacos and green salsa. Did not disappoint!! As a Mexican
  I know what they should taste like and these were pretty authentic!

  So remember when I said Bend was food desert - save a few outstanding restaurants close to Wall Street?
  
  This is another example of what I mean.
  
  Being a native San Franciscan - Mission Street has spoiled me. Well, really California as a whole has spoiled me. The abundance of great Latin food I've had over the years refined my palate.
  
  Things to know before you visit:
  
  First - it's mostly a drive through. Small but efficient. There is always more than a few cars at a time here so don't come if you're pressed for time.
  
  Second - it is a hole in the wall which I thought would make this exceptionally delicious Mexican food and a welcome departure from Chipotle. It wasn't. Chipotle is more flavorful. *cries*
  
  Third -  you get huge portions of food when you order the plates with rice and beans.
  
  The breakdown:
  
  The flavor of my Combination Plate was too subtle. It tasted like tomato sauce with no spice in it. Not heat spice but spice spice. It also lacked heat spice.
  
  The beans and rice were delicious. The beans were silky with good flavor. The rice was well seasoned, fluffy, and the kernels had the telltale split.
  
  The chorizo in my tacos was strange. It was beautifully charred and wonderfully greasy but the taste was off. It was gamey and again the seasoning was not deliberate which made this very bland.
  
  My husbands Oregon burrito was a disaster. Menu said beef, onions, potato. By potato they mean french fries. We both took a bite and it sat there untouched until I cleared the table. It went on the trash bin. Money wasted.
  
  Overall if you manage your expectations you will be fine. If you're California transplant from LA or SF you might be disappointed.
  
  All in all I give 2 stars because it was a nice break from Chipotle. I prefer mom and pops over corporate chains if I can manage it. Bend is over-saturated with fast food/chain restaurants and the majority of mom and pops make such bland food you'll be disappointed you wasted time and money.
  
  The prices were fair.
  
  The service was excellent! Very friendly and helpful.
  
  If they started preparing food the way their families eat, this would be a great asset to the culinary scene.
  
  A lot of ethnic restaurants in Bend can only function if they dramatically water their food down to accommodate the bland local palette. No one wins when you make food that is such a far cry from what it should be.
  
  Food critics, foodies, and chefs have universal understanding of what the expectations (flavor profile and technical merits) are for dishes. Watering that down is a disappointment.

  My husband and I often dine in here, but for the first time we had it delivered, and were very sure to ask for lots of hot salsa, their amazing onion/carrot/jalapeno mix, and guacamole.
  
  Well. They dropped the ball on this one. We ordered the Chile relano and when we got it it was not only cold, but they didn't remove the seeds!
  
  The burritos were dry, like they'd been under a hot plate for an hour. The guacamole was so watered down that it actually spilled as if we're an actual glass of water. They didn't include any sauces, nor the jelepenos mix either! I almost feel like disputing the charges because when I called to let them know, they were so passive about the whole thing I felt like I was an annoyance.

  Tried the Rigoberto's fries,layers of fries , cheese, guacamole and then topped with Carne asada.   Salsa bar to add your own extra flavor.   They all tasted freshly made.   Also had pork carnita tacos, meat was moist and delicious in the middle and crispy on the outside.  Very casual, also had drive thru.   No bathroom inside, it was in the back of the building.

  Really good food. My boyfriend has eaten here a few times and enjoyed everything he has tried. When we went together he got the Oregon burrito. He was not disappointed. I had a chimichanga with beans and cheese. It was huge, and it came with sour cream, guacamole and pico. Very good flavors, which sometimes doesn't happen in vegetarian chimichangas if beans are flavorless. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu.
  
  Dining area is nothing special. It's not your typical sit down Mexican restaurant, more of a takeout place. Although they do have seating and we did choose to dine in. They have a great salsa bar with several types of salsa, grilled onions and jalapeños, pickled carrots and fresh lime.
  
  We'll be back!
