I knew not to expect too much this far north but I think it’s reasonable to expect a little more than rice, beans, and meat. It turned out a little cilantro and onions were buried in the middle of the burrito, but for $ 8 for a «chicken burrito with everything» I expect the chicken to have more flavor. Pros: size was great — pretty big! Salsa was tasty. I liked the verde more than the rojo Cons: Pricey -$ 8 for chicken without many extras and $ 5 for just beans and cheese Not very flavorful in my opinion In sum, I would like them to flavor the meat a little bit more; let it marinate in some spices. Especially if they’re going to keep this price level.

2 people in the truck one being an 8 year old. When I asked what sauce goes on the wet burrito their response is «I don’t know». Got a burrito anyway and the meat and veggies were so bland I’ll never go back

We stopped for lunch at The Lot while visiting friends in Bend. The Lot is a congregation of food trucks(much like«Off the Grid» and«The Bend» food truck groups in the SF Bay Area, but these are permanently here). I(of course) had to try the tacos from Rico’s Tacos truck. I ordered one chicken and one carnitas($ 2 each). They didn’t take long to make and before I knew it my teeth were biting into soft shells and tasty filling. The meat was tender and the carnitas had great flavor and was cooked crispy. Chicken was perfectly cooked also, and a salsa verde topped both small shells. I tried a couple bites from friend’s plates/other trucks and would love to go back and try all the trucks here. I did notice that these tacos were some of the only small plate options — you could order one taco or ten. Many of the other trucks seemed like they had only big dishes(around $ 10 each), so that’s a great feature of this truck. It was also very fast. Beer is sold by The Lot, but Rico’s sells sodas for the under-21. There is lots of seating available, and much of it has a shady covering. It was really neat to get to check out this place in Bend(everything about Bend is amazing) and it was great to find good tacos while up in Oregon.
