Bandido's Mexican Grill

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.

Amazing veggie burritos and everything else is very good. Friendly and fast service. The portions are big.

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!

Good Mexican food truck if you craving some tacos. Kids got 4 street tacos each with carne asada and chicken. I got the chorizo huevos, tortillas with rice and beans. All were pretty good. But, the chicken had become a little tough by the time we took the food home to eat and would likely have been much better if we had consumed it right after it was made. Nevertheless, it is a good place and worth going back.

*Food Truck*The quantity is great for a Taco Meal ($14)Pretty decent Tacos. Ordered Al Pastor TacosI wouldn't go out of my way to try it again! But would definitely do If I am in the same area and craving Tacos

I actually drove past this food truck while running some errands and decided to give it a try. I am SO glad I did. I got the tortas and it was amazing. Probably one of the best I have had. It came on a grilled French roll with beans, choice of meat (I got it with Al Pastor / Adobada), tomato, avocado, jalapeños, and mayo. It was enormous and so dang good. It was so good that I'm head back there this next week to try out some of their other options.[ UPDATE ] - i just picked up a cheese quesadilla and an Adobada burrito. Both were great! I think the burrito was the best burrito I have had in Redmond. It was so amazingly good!

The food flavor is just mind blowing!!! Chicken and veggie tacos and burritos are just heavenly! Best comfort food for rainy weather or sunny day. Thanks for this awesome food!! Fast service and good ambiance with enough parking space.

Update! After a year of regularly eating here.... It's still great!I highly recommend calling them to place your order, then ~10-15min later your food will be ready. Still fantastic.

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.

The taco and sauce are both so goodIt is cheap and quick The beef head and beef tongue tacos are great
