If you’re craving Mexican food, there’s nothing like a trio of tasty tacos to satisfy your taste buds. We’re lucky to have locally-owned, authentic taco shops all around the state, but there’s one little Mexican restaurant that you’ll want to check out for some of the most flavorful tacos around.
El Sancho Taco Shop got its start with a tiny taco truck back in 2010. The tacos were a huge hit, and the little business added on…

…the Taco Shack, a little dive made of recycled materials located in the Pak-It Liquidators lot. When Pak-It closed, the Taco Shack was moved to Crux Brewery, where you’ll still find it today.

An actual taco shop was soon added, and now there are three places to get your taco fix in Bend.
