Super delicious tacos and refried beans! We're so glad we tried this place and we'll definitely be back the next time we crave tacos. I got cabeza, lengua, and al pastor. All hits and we've had some pretty good tacos in LA and Vegas.
Food is really yummy! I love this place I highly recommend here!! Genuine Mexican food
Best Mexican tacos I've had in Washington. Burrito was pretty good too. Food truck is a little tucked away but worth the find.
These tacos smack! I'm from Texas and I've had a hard time finding really good tacos like I'd get at a hole in the wall in Dallas. But these scratched that itch. I will be back. Probably tomorrow. Super fast service, friendly staff, big portions. Was recommended this place by a coworker and my only regret is that I didn't go sooner. Go here!
Delicious!! The torta was amazing with spicy sauce and the place had a long line of customers - always a good sign.
Food was good. Better than your average taco truck. Wasn't thrilled to have plastic wrapper bits in it though. Didn't discover that until getting home. Even though it was quick and tasty I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.
The taco and sauce are both so good It is cheap and quick The beef head and beef tongue tacos are great
Just moved here from Southern California. Best mexican food I've had up in WA. Bought a california burrito. It was bigger than my head, took me two days finish it. Managed to try a fish taco as well. I'm going to be coming back here at least once a week. I called ahead and placed the order, they were kind and quick!
Stopped by here on a work trip in the middle of the day. The truck is tucked away in the very back of a parking lot... kinda hard to find if you don't know the area. Ambiance was that of a parking lot, so not that inviting, but hey... we're just here for the tacos. Lady running the window was nice enough, but kinda "all business", since it was lunch time. I appreciated her no nonsense approach. The tacos... the main event! They were friggin' hefty! Very full of their respective fillings. The meat was cooked perfectly and the tortillas were crunchy but still foldable. I chowed these down in the parking lot like I had never eaten before. They really hit the spot. This place makes LEGIT street tacos. If that's your jam, this is the spot.
When there's a constant line of people waiting in the rain for a food truck, I'd call that a promising sign! Bandido's is tucked away in a quiet parking lot on a side road, so it's super easy to miss if you're not seeking it out. It's also just plain white, making it look like any ordinary truck. All this considered, I assume they must rely on word of mouth or social media to attract customers. Three of us came for a weekday lunch around 12:30P and parked in the lot near the truck. One employee took all the orders and kindly called people up to get their food once ready. One cook in the back prepared all the food. The two of them appeared to have a good system going. I got three tacos a la carte ($3.00 each), composed of warm tortillas, meat of choice and diced onion & cilantro. + LENGUA (tongue): Wow! The tongue is terrific. It was super lean, tender and had a natural beefy flavor. That being said, it could have used some oomph seasoning-wise (or a little salt), so I poured on some salsa. I don't order tongue that often, but when I do, I'll be comparing it to this one. + CARNE ASADA (steak): This was delicious too. The chopped beef had a light grilled taste and the pieces were not too fatty. I topped it with a little mild green salsa and red spicy salsa, but these really weren't necessary. + AL PASTOR (spicy pork): I wouldn't consider this spicy, but the meat was seasoned well and marinated, resulting in its bright orange color. The pork was pretty tender and out of all three tacos, this one was the boldest in flavor. One of my lunch companions got the TACO PLATE ($14) which included three tacos, rice and beans. She said the cubes of chicken were on the dry side. If she had just gotten the tacos, they would have been $9, so the taco plate essentially adds on $5 for the rice and beans. I thought the serving size was fairly generous, but the pricing seemed a little steep in this case. My other companion got the CHICKEN BURRITO ($10) which was huge! He enjoyed it, and this could easily be two servings for some people. This is a solid spot for tacos in Redmond! 4.25 stars.
