I am so happy I discovered this food truck. I have never had alebrije before and saw it listed on Door Dash…my go to. lol. I have to say I got the tacos and the flautas and the tacos were the best tacos I’ve ever had because you dip them in this broth and the flavor is absolutely wonderful. I feel so addicted to this place now. The only reason I didn’t do the atmosphere part is because I wasn’t there seeing it was a delivery. I will tell you this, I’ve had both the different tacos now and you can’t go wrong with either. They are so authentic and now that I’m typing all this I think I’m going to order now, oh well. If you haven’t tried this place, it’s a must !!!!

First time eating here, and I was very happy to find this gem in Oregon. They have fresh, authentic Oaxacan-Mexican dishes and drinks! There is plenty of space to sit, eat, relax and hang out. Parking is limited.

I ordered their 3 Mole Enchilada plate. At the time it came with 3 enchiladas smothered in chocolate based mole, topped with queso fresco, onion and parsley. The tortillas themselves tasted handmade. They were thick and had good flavor. The mole had an authentic taste. It had a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, which not many are able to achieve. I am used to a more spicy mole in my household, but this one was well balanced; therefore, delicious. The cheese and onion complimented the mole very well and added freshness to the dish. The beans were delicious and simply melted in my mouth. The rice had a nice flavor and consistency. Mole is a traditional treasure, and rigorous to make. And this mole was a really good one. I recommend it.

I was also able to try their Torta de Carnitas. The torta came with refried black beans, mayo, lettuce, onion and tomato. The carnitas were packed with flavor and almost buttery. The beans had a great taste to them that complimented the carnitas. The bread was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. It was a good size and very filling. The side of tortilla chips were crunchy and salted well. They tasted fresh and were warm.

To drink I had an Agua Fresca de Jamaica. It was delicious, perfectly sour and sweet. It was also very hydrating and paired well with both dishes. Recommend!

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 this restaurant!

In my opinion, these birria nachos are the best nachos in Bend. The birrias flavor is amazing, and the meat is very tender. The portions are a great size and are definitely shareable. We got our food pretty quick. I love the location. It’s very chill, and it’s generally a great place to hang out with your family/ friends. The only downside is finding parking, but this place is definitely worth a try!

We ordered chicken tacos and birria tacos. I really hate to say it but this was not good. Very bland, taco shells are soft (which are supposed to be crunchy on birria tacos) Birria broth is watery. Chicken tacos have no color or flavor lol. Should have just cooked food at home.

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 spirits guide me to the right place! Once I was done admiring the culture being presented I move on to the menu. There are a plethora of offerings that all sounded very delicious and I was having a hard time making up my mind what to try for the first time so I asked if they would surprise me… What came out was beyond my expectations! A crispy bright orange QuesaBirria Torta, Toasted bolillo, 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 the orders 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 of Oaxacan 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.

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. Tortillas were homemade but again simply plain. Definitely over priced. Bathrooms and outdoor seating available. Staff was friendly. Will not return.

During my stay in Bend, I had three breakfast burritos from three different places. The one from Alebrije behind the Bunk + Brew was far and away the best, and the coffee was great too. Perfect send off before my flight home.

Been here before for birria quesatacos. They seem to be different then before but also it’s been a while. It included some yellow cheese in addition to white inside which I’ve never had yellow inside so that was interesting lol the mulitas was ok and nachos. All just seemed to be needing salt. Easy fix…

Ordered 2 Quesabirra tacos with a side of refried beans & a mole enchilada plate with beef. They gave the enchilada plate with chicken instead of beef & forgot the refried beans. Gave a really good tip & wish we didn’t.. Both the beans & rice tasted old. I could see if they were busy & messed up the order but there was nobody else in line.

We love supporting small food joints especially when they make good food. Avoid this one, you can support others elsewhere.
