Sol Verde

Best chili verde burrito ever! So tasty and big. I really love this food cart. And chili verde.

So wonderful! First of all Kat is the nicest woman. She works hard in that truck and the food tastes like it. Her breakfast burritos are delicious and perfect road good if you are on your way out of town.
Her tacos are amazing as well as her gordita’s. My husband always snags a burrito and says they’re the best in town. Our daughter devours her rice and little quesadillas. She even carries kombucha! Local meats, sauces not hot, quality fresh ingredients. So good!

So… I’m Santa Fe, NM born, raised in the Pacific Northwest. It’s a rare establishment that can recreate the delicious New Mexican cuisine up here. Thank the heavens for Sol Verde. Their fast and kind service, amazing food, and reasonable prices makes this food cart an absolute must during the summer. So get it while you can. The breakfast burritos, the enchilada places and posole are definite musts! I only wish that it was open all year long!

It’s a great idea to order ahead as this is not a fast food restaurant and for good reason! I wouldn’t ever want this food to sacrifice it’s quality and flavor. Thanks for continuing to open every year and I look forward to many wonderful dishes here!

Everything on the menu is great! A great quick place for lunch or anytime pop in and enjoy fresh ingredients with mouth watering flavors. Very authentic and Kat the owner is always so nice. A must if your in Bend!

Everything Kat makes is delicious. Pork chile verde is my daily pick. And her pazole when available is incredible. She makes it real here. All fresh local ingredients and a lot of new mex chillies!!! Definitely my pick for best mex in bend.
Eat here now!!!

What a great find this is! I’ve been there twice in the past week, and each time, the food has been thoughtful and flavorfully prepared. I particularly recommend the breakfast burrito. While a big fan of Mexican food, I had never had one of these before and Sol Verde’s version is DELICIOUS.

Very fresh and flavorful. The Mexican coleslaw is delicious with cilantro and jalepeno!

The food is really good and flavorful. Portion size is fine for me (and I’m a big guy with a decent appetite). It’s not the 3lb burrito you are going to get some places but it’s plenty for me. Prices are high at around $ 8 for a burrito and they have weird hours so I’d actually like to give it 3.5 stars but if I had to choose between 3 and 4 I’d go 3. Worth going to for lunch as few eateries of any kind in Bend are worthy of a 3+ rating so this is actually a good score for me.

I’d rate the food here 4 stars, but I knock a point off for the relatively high prices and small portion on the breakfast burrito. I guess the others who have reviewed this place and have concluded that it is «very reasonable» have a different approach to eating lunch at food trucks. I expect the price at a food truck to be cheaper than it would be at a sit down restaurant, but this truck charges more for burritos than you’d pay at many bricks and mortar places.
I had the breakfast burrito and it was tasty but it cost $ 8 and it didn’t fill me up. If I“m paying $ 8 for a burrito at lunch, I don’t expect that I’m going to need to order something else to feel full. (By the way, I weigh about 170 lbs– not 300) Compared to other breakfast burritos in town, I think this one comes up short. At Super Burrito, they cost $ 5.50 and are bigger and pretty comparable in quality/​taste. At Brother John’s– the breakfast burrito costs $ 9.50 but comes with two sides and it is absolutely massive, not to mention delicious. So, in short, I’d like to see lower prices and better portions.

Had a burrito. The flavor was really good, but the meat was tough and overcooked, and for $ 8 it was expensive compared to most food cart burritos. If you’re in their for a burrito or food cart, there are much better options in Bend.

Okay, it’s like this. Just pick something on the menu and order it. Or ask what they recommend. When you get your order eat it. You’ll be happier for having done so.
Seriously, this is the best New Mexico style food I have had outside of New Mexico. It is just that simple.

The best Mexican joint in town and even possibly the best Mexican food I have EVER had. This says a lot seeing how Im originally from Southern California area. The food is so fresh and delicious.
I ordered the two taco plate and tried one beef, one chicken both were yummy and the chicken was moist & seasoned well (I hate when the chicken is not cooked well and then an attempt is made to cover it with stuff) You won’t find cheap tactics here. Oh and the slaw you get on the side is so creative and encorpirates everything Mexican. I love how this place takes traditional Mexican dishes to the next level. If you couldn’t tell, I’m a huge fan!!! Great job Sol Verde!!!

Continually top notch New Mexico style food from this food truck. My first review a year ago said five stars on the horizon. A year later, five star update is overdue. With the close of Red Napkin truck (boohoo) and Spork truck moving their business to bricks and mortar location (yahoo), Sol Verde remains one of the two best food trucks in Bend (along with Real Food Street Bistro).
Either the menu here has expanded or my definition of what smaller menu is has changed because I note how many wonderful things there are to order and enjoy. Including many vegetarian options. Prices remain very reasonable for high quality. The New Mexico style chile adovada enchilada dish that comes with salad and pinto beans for only around $ 8 is easily shareable by by husband and me as example. (Most perfectly cooked pinto beans I have ever had.)
New hours since my last review may be permanent or seasonal. But now open from about 8:30a to 2:30p Tuesday through Saturday. Yep. Saturday has been added.
Other great changes, salsas are also now available to purchase in larger sizes and breakfast burritos are available all day.
Beef is locally sourced. So is the pork sausage.
This remains a «mom shop» that is owner operated. It’s an added bonus that she’s so nice given her delicious food is not only among the best of food trucks but arguably the best of Mexican styled foof of any kind in Bend. (And to my knowledge remains the only New Mexican styled in Bend.) Pride of ownership is evident here along with cooking skill.
In nicer weather as now, there is a small picnic table and a couple of chairs outside the food truck if you want to «eat in».

This food cart fills a niche SO difficult to find outside of the Southwest! New Mexican cuisine is similar to Mexican, but not really. It’s all about green and red chiles, and the owner here gets her chiles straight from New Mexico-​she even sells the green chiles in bulk if you are interested. The menu is small but impressive, considering this is a one-​woman operation. It includes burritos, carne adovada, enchiladas, green chile stew and much more. I tried the carne adovada (cubed pork simmered in red chile) in a burrito smothered in green chile for just a dollar more. The meat was tender and full of red chile heat without being overly spicy, and it was finished with just the right amount of cheese and diced tomatoes. The green chile sauce on top pretty much sealed the deal-​this food will make you smile for hours! Really. Pretty sure chiles release endorphins! The burrito was served with a side of slaw, and she also gave me a sample of her green chile stew-​totally awesome! All items are very reasonably priced, and it is a bonus to note that she also takes cards, as not all food carts do.
The only bummer is that she is closed on weekends (like I mentioned, this is a one-​woman operation!). Hopefully she will become so busy that she will have to hire employees, and then we can get our chile fix every day of the week!

Great little food cart on Bend’s West Side. I’ve had the Green Chile Stew and the Carne Adovada Burrito and loved them both.
Kat the owner is very friendly.
