The breading on the jumbo nuggets is delicious. I've had the frickles and the fries as well, both very good. The Lot is a great location as well. read more

This food truck has really good dark meat chicken. The servings are huge! The breading on the chicken is just right and the fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. There is also covered seating. read more

The lot is nice with lots of shaded seating. This food truck is actually a cute bus. The person who helped me was super nice and actually realized she overcharged me and called me over to let me know and give me my money back. So honest and nice of her. I couldn't decide so I got a fish taco and a small order of chicken. The fish taco was good but maybe could have benefited from more fish and less toppings? I could tell the fish was so so good- tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, but lots of intense toppings so it was kinda overshadowed. The chicken was really good though. I see a lot of negativity on here about the texture- it was a little tougher than other fried chicken I've had? But I could still eat it with my hands and I have pretty weak jaws so I think it was fine. I loved the gluten-free breading and the maple sauce elevated it to treat level. So cool to have a good gf fried chicken option nearby! read more

I had really high hopes. I've heard good things. Got the three-piece chicken nugget and some fries. And it was OK but not fantastic. The fries are kind of odd; they're flat, not like a steak fry, even thinner than that. Not really my type of fry. Decent selection of sauces. I got the maple bacon and some ranch, and ketchup came automatically with the fries. The chicken was a bit disappointing. The breading was fine and it was freshly fried, but the chicken itself was just not very good. All in all, I don't think I'd go back. There are so many food trucks in town to try two waste a second trip on a just-ok meal. read more

Delicious! Friendly and huge portions I love this place! Came to Bend to play & our family took us here

Chicken tenders available in small, medium and large portions. To me it was just fine. I felt it's bit too chewy and way overcooked. Could not try their fish tacos. Hope to make it there another time if we come around. read more

This place is fantastic! The fish tacos are delicious and portions are large. The fries are excellent and I love the dark meat gluten-free fried chicken. And waffles! They have a ton of sauces to choose from - spicy Thai is my favorite. The employees are always kind and attentive. I love the ambiance at The Lot. The summer is festive and it's cozy in the winter with heated benches and fire pits. Highly recommend! read more

Fish tacos are delicious. Portions are generous. Great vibes. Although I did hear them playing Creed in the bus... I was served by someone named Sam who was kind and welcoming. We will be back. read more

Everything tasted incredible! Very cool to know everything is gluten free and separated as it's cooked for safety! would recommend for anyone craving chicken read more

10/10 Fish Tacos. Delicious and the slightest bit spicy. The one thing I noticed.. Where are the limes?? read more

Loved the fish and chips! The fries were different, thin flat crispy pieces. Service was friendly. There were several outside tables or you can take your food inside a covered common area where you can order your drinks. There were other food trucks around which is nice for other people in your group to pick from. read more

Fricken Faco - Fish and chips - Food Trucks Near Me - Bend, Oregon

The worst fried chicken ever! The chicken was completely overcooked and had no flavor whatsoever. I ordered the "spicy Thai dipping sauce with it that tasted like sweetened ketchup which the addition of some fish sauce, not spicy at all. I will not go back. read more

Stopped by The Lot and had Fricken Faco while visiting Bend. The Lot is awesome and such a great place to hang out and grab some food and a beer. The chicken sandwich was AMAZING with real dark meat chicken thigh. They have so many delicious sauces here too! My friend really enjoyed his fish taco too! Also, Best Fries Ever!! I'm glad we stopped here on day one so we could come back for some food again after floating the river 2 days later! read more

The fish tacos were okay, but the portions are super small for the cost! And the fish to vegetable ratio just wasn't it.

Excellent spot. Seated heated and dogs allowed! My fav was the chicken and waffles... a super casual, easy to get to spot. Will def be back the next time I'm in Bend! read more

The chicken meat is so dry and stringy. Also the breading falls off of the chicken sandwich. For a placed known for their fried chicken, that's a shame. read more

Up until now I would have given this place 5 stars. They had some of the best chicken tenders around. Now they've switched from chicken breast meat to dark meat and the ones we had were overcooked and dry. My husband also ordered the chicken sandwich but they put so much sauce on it that the bun was too soggy to eat and all the goop was eating all over the place. The fish tacos are still delicious but the prices went up so we won't be going outta our way to go there anymore. read more

Haven't tried the fish, but the chicken strips looked good... they were hot but really tough and maybe overcooked? Also very greasy.... Expensive $11 disappointment read more

Fricken Faco - Chicken strips - Food Trucks Near Me - Bend, Oregon

I really liked the location this truck was in but the food from Fricken Faco was rather disappointing, especially given the prices. We got an order of fish and chips as well as a side of Mac and cheese. The fish and chips came with potato chips, aka crisps, not the standard fries. That itself was the first red flag! You can't call that fish and chips - even in America that's wrong. Then there was no sauce at all - I assumed incorrectly that they would have included some tartar sauce or vinegar in a to go box order, but I was wrong. I didn't see anywhere to get sauce either. The fish itself was alright - not super battered which was nice but it wasn't really seasoned - could have used some sauce! The mac and cheese was alright, but nothing special. Not a fan. read more

Used to love this place so much! The lot is a little busy always but I did it for this truck. But they changed the menu.... chicken is gross now and selection is less accessible. Meh Fish and chips are still good though. read more

This place has some good chicken. Their boneless chicken tenders comes in some interesting flavors. The Korean BBQ and Buffalo were tasty and full of flavor. The maple bacon was a bit too sweet for me. Overall, some good chicken for all of us to snack on at the park. I think you need to not close the cap on it for too long or the chicken can lose a bit of the crunch. read more

By far my favorite fried fish taco spot! Located on the lot so super easy to find. Service is fast which is nice. Love the food truck bc it stands out so it's easy to find! read more

The Lot is my favorite food truck pod, so I was pleased when Fricken Faco opened up. Of the other three trucks, I tend to stick to Burgz N Dogz, so more choices are welcome. Sadly ... looks like it's still Burgz N Dogz for me unless Fricken Faco ups their game. - Spicy Thai Fricken: Very disappointing. The chicken is cooked well - it has that almost overdone texture that I like. But the sauce. Oy. One, it's not remotely spicy, not even a little. It's more like cloyingly sweet. For a menu that segregates the sauce offering into 'heat' and 'sweet', that's just unacceptable. If you're going to bill something as spicy, make it so. And cut down on the sugar. Two, the tub serving format means that the sauce migrates to the bottom and absolutely drenches the last several pieces. Better to use those shallower, rectangular thingies that fries and tots often are served in. And cut down on the amount of sauce. Even if I liked the spicy Thai sauce (it's not Thai), I wouldn't want the chicken swimming in it. Finally, the Fricken comes with 'veggies', which in this case were several sticks of celery, carrot and jicama. No dipping sauce at all. Just bare veggies. I've been known to happily munch a naked carrot stick but not so much celery and jicama. How about offering a small tub of ranch or blue cheese? - Korean BBQ Fricken: Considerably less disappointing but still not remotely spicy and still too sweet, despite also being listed under 'heat' on the menu. This time, however, there at least was a bottle of hot sauce in the condiment/utensil area that packed quite a bit of heat. But the fricken is not really conducive to added hot sauce due to the tub arrangement. It would be better if the chicken came out spicy if it is billed as being spicy. Once again, the bottom pieces of chicken were absolutely drenched with sauce. This time I received a small tub of a fairly tasty dipping sauce with the veggies, so that's an improvement. - Faco: Also disappointing but not nearly as much as the Fricken. In a word, the tacos are a mess. Or as my wife said "They're too busy". There seemed to be two different sauces slathered on the top, along with way too much other stuff. Sadly, neither sauce could rescue the tacos from being quite bland. The fish is well-cooked but bland. It's just not a good fish taco. As a comparison, try the ones at Bend Brewing, which are way better. Portions: I like that the Faco is offered as one or two tacos. Prices are reasonable either way. The Fricken, however, comes either medium or large. I ordered medium and that is more than I want (the disappointing sauces might have an influence). Maybe offer a small with about 2/3's the amount of the medium? Prices for the Fricken are also reasonable. Service: Fine, I guess, but uneven. The first time it was certainly not the friendly encounter we come to expect in Bend, such as what you'll get at the beer counter. Or Burgz N Dogz. Or virtually anywhere else in Bend. Rather, it was fairly gruff and perfunctory. It might have been a bad day, but servers having a bad day leave an impression. No issues in this regard with my second visit. Not recommended if you like spicy fried chicken. If you like tons of sweet sauce, you're in the right place. The fish tacos? I can see how some folks would like them but they're not my cup of tea. read more

The chicken was inedible. It was like eating the grisly tendon part of a leg of chicken. That was all I got and forced one piece down and got rid of the rest. Weirdest and worst chicken I have ever eaten. Nice people though. read more

This used to be our fav place to get chicken fingers and fish tacos on a Saturday. I literally would not have changed a thing about the food or service. Well, the service is still great... but, the owner apparently made the very poor decision to cut food costs and shift from white meat chicken to dark meat.... Without telling anyone! I like dark meat chicken in the right circumstances... but, I don't think it works for chicken fingers, and I don't think it's appropriate to market chicken fingers that aren't white meat unless you make it crystal clear on the menu. Not to add fuel to the fire... but, it's also clear to me that they have reduced the amount of fish in the fish taco. It's basically a normal tortilla with a much smaller than before piece of fish. All I can say is that their penny wise, but pound foolish, approach to managing food costs has lost them a long time customer. Very sad! read more

This place is awesome. Some of the best fried chicken in town, the fries are unreal, and the employees are top notch. Would highly recommend! read more

The chicken fingers - nice crunchy batter and a really nice portion! Really went well with the honey mustard sauce. Fish tacos w a really good (hot dog sized) piece in the flour tortilla w nice toppings as well. Two tacos is more of a serving than you'd expect! read more

The service was amazing. Kayla and Sam were super patient, friendly, and helpful when I had questions. The food was so good, and cooked perfectly. They had a really nice and comforting vibe too. Very good experience overall. 10/10 recommending to a friend read more

Fricken Faco - Fried Chicken nuggets with fries, fricken sauce, and honey mustard - Food Trucks Near Me - Bend, Oregon

I would like to come back here some time and try the Chicken. I ordered the wedge salad and fish tacos Instead. The wedge salad was literally a quartered head of lettuce with absolutely no dressing and a TINY sprinkling of onion pork and feta. It was almost impossible to eat it because the lettuce was so bitter and that's the only flavor it had. In order to get through it I had to make my own dressing. The tacos were ok. The thing that brought it all the way down to a 1 star is I was sitting there for like 30 minutes waiting for that crap when the guy with no personality behind the counter told me 5-10! read more

Sam is the manager and my god is this dude a 10. I ordered a chicken sandwich and he served it to me personally and we chatted about life and interests and good times. His employees had an infectious love for their job and that's usually an indication of a place I can respect. Super stoked to have ordered from here. The breading on the chicken was phenomenal. The veggies were fresh. The bun was soft but responsive. I can't say enough. Eat here. Be happy. read more

Horrible, joints of my chicken nuggets, non edible, had to go to Taco Bell instead. Would not recommend eating here, owners must've switched, they switched to being gluten free and took all the good things off the menu 0/10 would NOT recommend if you want good chicken your better off at KFC. Food inspectors need to come here and check it out! I wish I could give it negative stars read more

WOW!!!!! Can't say enough about this place!!! Moist, tender bits of chicken breast, cooked to perfection. A crispy, crunchy batter coats the outside. A choice of 6 different sauces. 3 hot, 3 sweet. I had the chicken and waffle. A Belgian waffle, with a crisp exterior, and a tender puff-like center. Don't know how they do it, but it is WONDERFUL!!!! And, that's not all. The waffle is covered with crisp bacon crumbles!!!!! Add a bit of maple syrup,,, a dusting of powdered sugar over the top of the chicken pieces,,,, and YUM!!!!!!! So the name of this place is Fricken Faco. Fricken for fried chicken. Faco is for fish taco I haven't tried the tacos yet, but if they're even close to the fried chicken they will be wonderful. I've had food here twice. Both times the food was fantastic. read more

Fish "tacos" served on uncooked corn tortillas. Limes were old and bitter and breading on fish was hard and thick not flaky and thin as it should be. $6 per taco...... waste of money. Sad excuse of a taco. read more

Nifty concept. Please learn how to fried chicken and fish. The goal is not to take the smallest lowest quality piece of meat you possibly can and put giant layers of butter on it and then fry it until it's completely dead and dry. I assure you this is not the path to greatness. Really like the concept. Would like to like their fish sandwich but with three little bitty pieces of over fried dry fish, on a great big hogie bun with a little else, how can I? Took my daughter there today, because we had a nice time at the lot and enjoy the flavors at FT. Useless waste of money as I'm more carefully review. What in the hell is that dusty crap you put on your tacos??? Please stop. Again you've got some good tacos. Learn how to fry, and get rid of that dusty tasting yuck on your fish tacos. Take a trip to Austin. I'll pay for your ticket. Eat some cheap tacos anywhere in town, then come back here and continue to produce that same crap without wanting to slit your wrists... I dare you. And by the way hire people with a personality. That gal you have taking orders has all the sing song sincerity of a kiosk voice. Super fake piggy impersonal voice. No I don't feel bad about criticizing it because it's a voice she put on, apparently because she thinks it sounds professional. It doesn't. Nobody talks like that at least not to anyone they care about. Lose the fake. Jack in the box back in the clown days was more sincere. read more

Chicken tenders were low quality meat and overcooked. Also, the breading on the chicken had a fish flavor. Assuming the fish and chicken are cooked in the same oil. Perhaps the fish tacos are okay, but would never order chicken here again. read more

Mixed feelings. The Lot (the food truck food court) is super cool seating with a beer and wine bar on site. The food here at Fricken Faco was just okay. Took forever to get the food though the line was short. The fish sando was pretty good, tacos weren't that good, the wedge salad was good but it was app pricier than what you get. Four of us ate for $70 -- that is high for a food truck. She also had an attitude and forgot our drinks and when we asked for them she knew what we had ordered and still was short one of the drinks we paid for and had an eye roll attitude about her mistake. I won't be returning here ever again mainly because of the service. read more

Food used to be amazing here. I would drive out of my way when traveling to / from Idaho / so cal just to have it. The new menu is completely different and not worth driving / walking any distance. Staff also seemed annoyed to be serving a customer like it was an inconvenience. Unfortunate to see such amazing food gone. read more

Ate there today (7/29/2023)...ordered the chicken and waffles...got chicken and pancakes...no big deal...however the two pancakes I got were raw...not undercooked...raw...as in the middle was runny...took them up to the truck and brought it up to the gentleman there...said there was something wrong and I couldn't get waffles so they gave me pancakes...I told him the issue was not that I got pancakes but that they were raw...I showed him and he said nothing...I then picked one up and showed him how uncooked and runny it was...his words to me was "what do you want me to do about it?"...I was dumbfounded...I couldn't believe this lack of care or customer service...please be weary about ordering from here...if they care that little about the food they serve, it makes me very weary about how they treat the ingredients you get.
