Barrio Tacos – Midtown Yacht Club (Bend, OR)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I didn’t take a picture of my food because, honestly, I attacked it like a starving pack of wolves descending on a wounded wildebeest. By the time I thought of documenting the meal, it was already a crime scene. The only thing that could’ve enhanced the experience would’ve been eating it under a full moon, howling softly while digesting.
I ordered the beef tacos and was pleasantly surprised by how substantial the portion was—not one of those overpriced miniature taco situations. The flavor was rich, bold, and deeply satisfying, the kind of thing that makes you stop mid-bite just to mutter “oh damn” under your breath. You can tell these people actually care about what they’re serving.
I also got a vegan taco for my wife, but I forgot to ask for no cheese—that was my bad. On the upside, I got to try the mushroom protein taco, and it was pretty solid. Definitely not a consolation prize, and would make a fine option for anyone wanting to go meatless.
The folks at Barrio are doing something right. The truck was clean, the crew was efficient, and even with a full yard at Midtown Yacht Club, the wait was short and the vibe was easy. The food stands out not just because it tastes good—but because it feels thoughtful.
Support this truck. Eat their tacos. Maybe bring a friend so you don’t have to pretend to growl when you claim the last bite.

Got the burger. Pretty disappointing to be honest. Very dry and overcooked. I’m pretty sure it’s just a frozen Patty that they plop down on the grill. Not very much sauce. The chips are fine.

My favorite food truck in Bend! This place is so good it’s insane, and the prices are fairly reasonable as well. Pictured below is the Beef Birria Wet Burrito and the Chicken Quesadilla.

Outstanding enchiladas – thick, creamy green chile sauce, generous sprinkle of pickled red onions and cotija & jack cheese, over corn tortillas with an amazing mushroom & corn filling. It had been several years since I’d eaten at Barrio’s food truck and frankly, I was blown away by how good these enchiladas are. Portion was big enough that I could only master 1/3 of it; still delicious (and filling) for lunch the next two days.

This has got to be one of my new favorite Mexican places. It is a food truck not authentic Mexican but very close and easily the best burrito I’ve had in a long time. I didn’t want a wet burrito so I specifically asked if he could just do regular and of course they could. Whatever the chicken is cooked in makes this what it is in my opinion, the queso was amazing as well. Didn’t come with guac or sour cream so that’s the only downside but you can definitely ask for it on if you want.
My girlfriend got the enchiladas with chicken as well and she has always preferred authentic enchiladas but she says this comes in a very close 2nd. Green chile sauce was amazing.
This has to be the best Mexican food cart I’ve ever tried and I would highly recommend it to anybody who is having a tough time deciding what to get. They were super fast and had the food out in about 5-10 minutes and also have been rated the highest cleanliness by health inspectors which is a plus. Check it out!

Got the quesadilla with beef and it was absolutely delicious and pipping hot. My mom got the bowl and enjoyed it as well!

My wife and I are vegetarian and made them aware when ordering. When picking up the order my wife confirmed that the items in the window were ours. This is the first time I have eaten pork in over 10 years. Their system for ensuring you get the correct order needs some work. We will not be dining there again. When told of the mistake they made the correct burrito but offered nothing more than an apology.

I love their nachos and was excited to have them again, but the workers at this location were really rude. I’ve never been treated so badly. They slammed the food cart’s window and offered no apology when we kindly let them know they had messed up my order twice. I had already felt awful for having to ask the first time. The 2nd time the same worker told me “this better be the last time” in a rude tone and I left shaking after that.

Went to grab lunch with my partner and I ordered a carnitas burrito while she got the birria nachos no beans. The person taking our order was incredibly rude to begin with, being very impatient and not being nice at all. When we got our food and began eating it, my partner noticed her protein selection wasn’t what we ordered, so I went to tell the staff about it and asked if we could get a side of birria, but the worker offered to remake it without any apology, and he also slammed the food cart window on me. Once they remade the order with the correct protein, my partner noticed there was beans in the order, she went up and kindly let them know they didn’t get the order right again. The worker who was working today 9/23, snarkly told my partner to not do this again and slammed the window on her as well. This ruined our day and left a nasty imprint on us with this business. Will not be returning ever again.

$13+tip for 2 very thin chicken enchiladas More black beans than anything on the plate. The rice was very grainy and bland. Won’t be coming back But I wish the best for you folks.
