Man oh man, this place is not good. First of all, the food is very boring. Nothing too much to set it apart. Then, the pricing is RIDICULOUS! I still cannot get over how much money we spent here for our food. A glass of really average wine was $10. Our appetizer tacos (2) were $15. That's more than downtown Bend, where the rent far exceeds what this place must have to pay! I heard that Diego's used to be a lot cheaper and then raised their prices by a large margin. Whether that's the truth or not, I'm not sure. But I can tell you that I will likely not be back to this place unless I left my jacket there or something. Then, on top of the food, they have a patio that is accessible from the back and still won't allow dogs. Ugh. Our server was very nice, which was about the only redeeming factor of this place. Head to Bend to get your Mexican fix... you'll be a lot happier. read more

On the drive home after dinner at Diego's a scene from the movie The Graduate was playing in my head. The one where party guest Mr. Maguire takes Benjamin aside to give him advice and says "Ben I have one word for you. Plastics." Well, our one word of advice for ordering dinner at Diegos is this. Mole! Whether you chose the mole negro or the mole verde, Diego's makes marvelous mole. In the former, the sauce is robust from roasted and ground chiles simmered with toasted and ground nuts and chocolate for a hint of sweetness. In the latter, a simmered savory sauce of tomatillos and toasted ground pepitas (pumpkin seeds). . For the dinner entree, either is served generously poured over chicken breast and accompanied by black beans and rice with tortillas. At about $15 / 16 for the entree, with enough for leftovers, a great value for the quality too. Dinner for four tonight was our follow up visit from lunch for two, as covered in our previous review. Once again Grade A, professional service thanks to Antonio. Once again all the food was delicious. The drawbacks at Diegos have nothing to do with the great food and service, but with ambiance. As good of a job as the owners have done to update the downtown Redmond storefront from which they operate, it is still a long and narrow space that poses traffic flow and darkness problems. And hen full it is very noisy. But that takes nothing away from the food and service. Visit Diego's. Ask to sit at one of Antonio's tables if he's working that day. Eat the mole. You'll be happy you did! read more

An otherwise pleasant meal was sabotaged by dead slow service. There really aren't many non-chain restaurants in Redmond, so I was excited to give this upscale Mexican joint a try. Every table was full, bully for them, so my group ended up on the back patio after a bit of a wait. The wait itself was awkward since there isn't really a waiting area and you walk right into the bar where minors aren't permitted. The patio ended up being a great spot since it isn't on a main street, so it was a nice relaxed setting amongst the climbing vines on the old brick facade. The food was quite good, especially the green rice, but my Diego's margarita was disappointing. And a Mexican place should serve a killer margarita. Most of the unique spots in downtown serve breakfast and lunch only, so Diego's is a bit of a bright spot in area. While I'm happy they are bringing in the masses seven months after they've opened, they have to work on their service to make sure the masses will return. read more

Very tasty, sooooo full! I had steak fajitas, sizzling and so good. DH had halibut, said it was great. Service was good. We come here at least once when in Redmond. Will have to come back for dessert. read more

Love their huge burritos! So large and tasty! Always a friendly staff when we visit!

Truly great food, expansive menu, excellent cocktails, super friendly and professional service. Have eaten here uncountable times in the past several years and have NEVER been disappointed. However, this is not my go-to for Mexican food because I prefer refried beans (they only serve black beans) and Spanish rice (they serve green rice). I wait and go to Madaline's. For Mex. But everything else on the Diego's menu is fantastic in my book! read more

Love the food, drinks and atmosphere! great place for date night or just a great night out with family!!

Yes, our favorite place to eat for Mexican Food in Redmond. Try it, it's above the normal and food to go is awesome also.

Food was wonderful! The halal meat is always top notch and the portions are very generous. Highly recommend and you may need to go twice to experience the whole menu. read more

This is the second time visiting Diego's. The food is absolutely delicious! Salsa & Margaritas are Fresh and tasty. Entrees are excellent and generous. We have tried the 5 Mares soup, Acapulco burrito, Vaccaro smoked brisket and Carnitas. Everything fresh and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent food and service! Very friendly and good portions. Our server was kind and attentive.

We live in Bend and have been here now 3 times . Met friends who all enjoyed the food , service and the table spacing since our last visit . I'll be back soon .Great job to everyone at Diego's read more

Not your typical Mexican restaurant which isn't a bad thing. This place has the traditional menu items like burritos, fajitas and margaritas but also some very unique & eclectic items like carnitas raviolis, crab stuffed sole and more. I particularly like it when they have crab selections to choose from. Some menu items come and go but I have never had a bad experience yet. I travel through Redmond about once a year and always hit this place. read more

We met a friend for dinner at Diego's Spirited Kitchen. We were apprehensive about eating at a restaurant during COVID-19 Pandemic. People were seated at tables inside the restaurant, too close together for our comfort. We asked to be seated outside on the patio. After a few minutes we were shown an outside table on the patio next to an alley. Service was inconsistent. Chips and salsa was immediately brought to the table then we were left alone for what seemed like a long time. Our order was taken followed by another long wait before food was delivered to our table. I ordered a Taco Salad which was very good. I sampled the other meals and was disappointed with them; in fact, I told my daughter that her burrito was something that I would not eat. We may try Diego's Spirited Kitchen after this pandemic is over; but, we will probably try other restaurants first. read more

Best seafood pasta I have ever had! My friends had the grilled salmon, and the fish tacos. We were all very impressed with the food. But I have to go back to the seafood pasta, I substituted angel hair pasta for the penne pasta and it was amazing. They did not skimp on the seafood either. The scallops were tender, and plentiful. lobster, crab, shrimp, halibut...it was soooo good! I can't wait to come back and eat here again! read more

Excellent Mexican food. Excellent service. I highly recommend this restaurant. Inside and outside seating.

Good food. Nice drinks. Excellent service. Nice hostess. Nice dining experience. Energetic place. Good location. read more

I love supporting local businesses, but this restaurant is literally rapping it's local customers with extremely high pricing. Even La Rosa, a similar style restaurant in NWX of yuppie Bend, is more affordable and higher quality then Diego's. My girlfriend and I paid $70 for veggie burrito and veggie enchiladas with 2 margaritas. Wtf? Service is slow. Food just ok. Nothing special besides the super high prices. Save your money and support a different local Redmond restaurant. read more

Mmmmm! This was a tasty little find for Steve and me and we didn't even have it bookmarked on the "to try" list! After hanging out in Bend and took in some local attractions and did some touring for craft beer we came back to Redmond where our hotel was. We were hungry and Redmond tends to be a lot more quieter as far as restaurants go so we were looking around for some close restaurants and Diego's came up. Not only did Diego's have a good overall average with previous reviews that have been posted but Mexican food is just what we wanted. At Diego's I got a Green Mole burrito which was fabulous. In addition to that we also got some great tasting salsa and guacamole which was fresh and extremely flavorful. Despite it being somewhat busy on the warm day we came in the service was in great form and we were provided service in a prompt and friendly manner. read more

Amazing service and food!! Best fresh margaritas around. Love love love the atmosphere

My husband and I decided to try Diego's for dinner on Cinco De Mayo. We were anticipating a long wait, but we're pleasantly surprised to be seated almost immediately after entering. All the wait-staff were extremely kind, and moved quickly and effortlessly between tables. In addition to that, our drinks were filled without asking, showing that they were attentive to our needs even with it being so busy. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I got the pork carnitas and my husband got the fajitas. The portions were very generous and we could've easily split one meal together. The food was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. We would happily go back again for anything on the menu! read more

Service is always nice and friendly. Food leaves something to be desired. I can't speak for what anyone else ordered, but I guess you should never go to a Mexican restaurant expecting to get a nice piece of halibut. The lobster sauce on top was so salty, I had to scrape it off just to get it down. I hate to sound like a naysayer, and I usually put up with bland food or over salted food without complaining, but this was over the top salt lick! read more

Delicious food and drinks! The wait staff are super friendly! Will is our server a lot and he always goes above and beyond

Always good food here. Service is good and fast. Definitely like to enjoy a meal here with such a great atmosphere

Was recommended this place from a local and it had some great reviews so I thought I should give it a shot. I ordered the seafood pasta and it did not disappoint. Filled with a creamy garlic flavor and it had large chunks of seafood. I could only eat half it was so filling. Came with a side of toasted garlic bread. If you love pasta and seafood you should give this a shot. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great food great people. A little pricey. Stall is attentive. Both quantity and quality are outstanding

It was a while ago, good enough to remember liking it, average enough that it blends in with most other joints like it

We'll we just finished lunch and it was the best Caesar salad and Burrito we've had in ages. Light, crispy chips, table side guacamole....outstanding on so many levels. A definite destination. Service was great!!! read more

Amazing service and food! I did notice the prices seemed higher but with great food and service I have no problem. Halibut fish tacos were great! read more

Outstanding!! The famous Mexican pork carnitas plate and the Diego's burrito were so good and flavorful!! The beer was cold and tasty and the service was excellent!! To the person comparing this place to Taco Bell must have a different Taco Bell than I've ever been to because this was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time!! I highly recommend this place for dinner! read more

This is our favorite place to come for Mexican food when we roll into to town! The food is absolutely incredible. Lots of seafood dishes, as well as the regular fair and some unique pasta dishes. They have a fresh juice margarita that you pair with your choice of tequila. I would say they have some of the best fresh salsa with just the right amount of heat. The staff is so friendly and inviting. Definitely at treat when we're in the area. read more

Food was NOT ok. Asked for whole black beans, got some mash that tasted really off. Couldn't eat burrito, it ended up in the trash at home. Really disappointed. read more

Great food! Good speedy service and clean upbeat atmosphere. Will go back and recommend!

Good food. Some people think it's too pricey but you get what you pay for. Service is very good.

This place has a nice bar and friendly staff. I was impressed with the preparation of my to-go order last time I was here. The little details of napkins, utensils, and the way it was put together was really thoughtful. The food was tasty and had good flavor. I think the prices are a bit high, but it's probably because they are located downtown. I will definitely be going here again. read more

Great patio space. Chips & Salsa - warm chips and some of the best salsa I have had. Pork Ravioli with Chipotle Lime Sauce- generous portion, raviolis were nice with fair amount of pork, sauce was not what I expected and in the end reminded me of Kraft Macaroni and cheese sauce. I would have prefered a stronger chipotle/lime flavor read more

Fabulous food. Great people. And best of all, a locally owned business in our town of Redmond OR
