Mazatlan Mexican Bend - Bend

Great food, clean establishment, and quick, friendly service

The family was visiting Bend and for this evening, we thought to go find some Mexican food. I understand that there are a few good places but most of them are food trucks or places that mostly have outside seating. At the moment, outside is very smoky due to near by fires. So due to what felt like a lack of suitable choices, we opted for Mazatlan. We’ve been to this chain of restaurants before and liked them. Unfortunately, it would seem that they are NOT a part of the chain. As the restaurant did not have the same feel. But ok.. they had inside seating so we gave them a try. The ambiance was good. Similar cliche’ Mexican feel. This is kind of what I expected. But was clean and kept up inside. As we looked at the menu, they had a large selection. Much which I expected. The one surprise that I noticed was the nickel and dime they charge. Drink refills, 25¢. Sour cream… $2, extra chips and dip same. I had the #10 combo, Enchilada, tamales. Chimichanga. Son had a quesadilla, and wife had a burrito. Everything tasted good, just not great. The flavor profile was right… just mild. The refried beans were thin and runny, but I’ve seen some places do this, so it might have been intentional. I thought to myself, good place to take someone getting introduced to Mexican. One flavor they weren’t shy on was cilantro, so if you are of the group that thinks it’s soap… be aware. Almost forgot, the salsa was amazing. Thick, chunky, tasty, and stayed on the chip. The staff was nice and friendly… when they showed up. I had to go find someone to get my water filled. As a backup standin, it was good, but I’m still looking for that amazing place in town.

We love this restaurant. We come at least once a week. The food is always delicious, the wait staff couldn’t be nicer. Pricing is average for our area. Their refried beans are amazing! They also serve a very unique chile relleno, it doesn’t have all that deep fried batter… it’s so good. Vegetarian options: There is a section of vegetarian dishes as well as some gluten free options. Parking: You can park in front of Big O Bagels if the lot in front of the restaurant is full. Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheel chair walker accessible

We was greeted at the door with a smile and kindness. Showed to our table. Great Service, great food and clean place. I would highly recommend if your in the area. My ole Man loved his big burrito and margaritas. Thanks for everything Guys and Gals.
