Tacos el comal

I was sitting at the airport yesterday with a grumble in my tummy. I was going to meet another Rideshare Driver, Sarge, for lunch later in the day when my ride came up in the app. 45 minutes west, ok so I’m thinking I’m going to Sisters so I won’t be back in town for another 1.5 hours so Sarge and I postponed and I picked up my fare which turned out being a couple kids going to summer camp past Hoodoo Ski Resort. Whew, what a trip.

As we passed through Sisters I knew I had to find something to eat on my way back and saw Tacos el comal’s sign on the end of a gas station and I knew it was the spot for me to try on my way back.

Looking at the menu it was a little tough figuring out what I wanted since there was so many tasty looking choices.

Menu 1
Menu 2

I finally decided on 3 Asada Tacos with verde sauce on the side.

Let me tell you, I was hungry and was barely able to eat all 3 tacos. THEY ARE HUGE! and at that price they well should be, but 2 would have been a more manageable order.

I really enjoyed them, the meat was seasoned well, nice big pieces of lime, pico was delicious, and the verde sauce wasn’t too spicy and was flavorful.

I’ll defiantly be coming back, the only downside was there were no drinks for sale, so a separate transaction in the gas station was needed.

I also need to mention that the space to order really only allows for 3 people to stand and order, and was even more compacted due to the merchandisers stocking the gas station, but wasn’t that big of a deal.

I can’t wait to try out the tamales and nachos next time, so I 💯 rexamend you visit Tacos el comal if you need a fix in Sisters!

Monkless Belgian Ales

Let’s get this right out of the way. Monkless is 100% my favorite brewery in Bend. There I said it, this place provides the beer that I like to drink, now we need to know does the food hold up to the high bar set from the ales?

We decided to do a date night at Monkless at their new (to us) location on the Deschutes River where the patio overlooked the Les Schwab Hayden Homes Amphitheater. We had little lunch and a flight of beers on the patio, the wind was howling and menu’s were flying, but overall it was a good experience. We even got a 5th anniversary cup as well!

Lunch: For my main lunch dish I went with the Pork Schnitzel Plate ($19) Pounded thin, hand breaded and fried pork cutlet, herb & butter noodles, caraway smoked cabbage, mustard cream sauce. I was impressed with the amount of food offered on the dish, and enjoyed the smoked cabbage as a side with the pork & noodle combination. I’m rexcited to go back and see what else is on the menu!

I’d say that Monkless is a spot you should check out, be it on the patio having a few beers or a flight in the summer, or enjoy their indoor seating and atmosphere as well.
