Delicious food, friendly service, modest prices. Nice ambience. Highly recommend the nachos and add some birria or other... protein on top. My husband said the mole enchiladas were also fantastic, super tasty. Read more
Love At First Sight!......... Nestled behind one of Bends quaint little hostels, Bunk & Brew, is Alebrije Oaxaca. While not much... to see from the tight alley parking lot out back, as you round the corner into the courtyard pops out this gorgeous,multicolored, almost psychedelic scene of figures in a case. They are known as Alebrije or spirit guides and man did the spiritsguide me to the right place! Once I was done admiring the culture being presented I move on to the menu. There are a plethora ofofferings that all sounded very delicious and I was having a hard time making up my mind what to try for the first time so Iasked if they would surprise me... What came out was beyond my expectations! A crispy bright orange QuesaBirria Torta, Toastedbolillo, shredded beef, cheese, sour cream, onion and cilantro with consome a couple of limes and a green and red hot sauce.This was a well made torta, the consume was rich and abundant with spices. The green sauce had a nice balance of tangy, salty,very mild heat while the red sauce packed a good little punch with a quick fading heat allowing you to keep going. All of theorders coming out were hot and steaming and it was easy to catch a whiff in the air from the kitchen and smell a thick aroma ofOaxacan style Mexican food! Pricing was very good and there are plenty of options on the menu to keep you coming back for more.There is a really neat vibe in the courtyard at Bunk & Brew where Alebrije resides as well.

Normally this is a great food truck, but the salsa was watered down, the birria was greasy, and the chicken tacos were... flavorless. It could have been due to it being the 4th and they were crowded, but our stomachs did not feel good that night. Read more
O. M. G. you guys! This place is killer! We found it on accident by following the sound of live music down an alley. I'm so glad... we did! Who knew I had to leave California to find great Oaxacan food! This is the third oaxacan food truck I've found betweenEugene and Bend. The quesabirria was so flavorful. I'll probably dream about it tonight! Read more
The Quesabirria was amazing! Highly recommend. Tender, high quality beef with amazing consommé! Huge portions. The beer garden... was beautiful as well! Read more
The Quesabirria tacos were a little too crunchy. The dipping sauce made no difference to me. The carne asada used for the other... meals had a lot of fat and meat was flavorless. Not sure it it was the meat or the cheese that made it very salty. Tortillaswere homemade but again simply plain. Definitely over priced. Bathrooms and outdoor seating available. Staff was friendly. Willnot return. Read more
This place is amazing!! By far the best Mexican tacos I've had! The orchata is delicious and you really have to check out the... chips with mole! The service is great and they have a lot of option, including vegetarian options!! I super recommended thisrestaurant! Read more
I used to have another favorite Mexican restaurant in Bend but that's no longer the case as the quality and authenticity of this... place has taken first place for me! So many delicious options like the freshly made chips, mole enchiladas, tortas, burritos,pozole and menudo (as non permanent specials). Heavily recommend you try it out! Read more
