    First of the lady who took my order was so patient with me. It was my first time and she never seemed annoyed and also gave suggestions. The Restaurant though small had this amazing homey vibe to it. The food had this smell that you just knew it was going to be good. I got 2 yard bird tacos and 2 OG steak tacos which were phenomenal Then I got a surf and turf burrito which was a must have all in all 5 stars will definitely go back again

    This is an interesting spot. It's very small, but has an intimate atmosphere. Let's start off with the food. It depends on what you get; some of the items you get come with a lot of food and are fairly priced. Other items, like the tacos, while delicious, are extremely overpriced. Most places charge anywhere from $2 to $2.50 for tacos normally, and on Taco Tuesday they drop. We went on Taco Tuesday and the tacos were $2.50 (or $2.75; can't remember). We don't remember the normal price, but it was somewhere in the $4 range if we remember correctly. While they are delicious, they aren't anything special enough to be that expensive. The staff messed up multiple orders while we were there, but they were very apologetic and did everything they could to fix the issue with a vert kind attitude, so that stood out as incredible to us. The staff were vert kind and helpful. The atmosphere is dark and quiet, which is very relaxing. The decor is very unique as well. It's obvious they took a lot of time and effort to decorate that place. Overall, with the exception of the extremely overpriced tacos, the restaurant was a great experience.

    If you are into goth, tacos, and beer well let introduce you to Sancho's Tacos. The place is great! Food is fresh, delicious, and service is excellent. The green sauce is great and perfectly balanced. The bean and cheese burrito is a master piece of ingredients. The location is filled with nuance art pieces that will keep one entertained and mesh well with the retro music. All of it, goes well together! An added benefit is the ability to take the food next door to a great dive bar The Silver Fox. Sancho's offers a great place to get your grub before an all nighter of drinking, or soaking up all the booze after a long night of drinking or grabbing a breakfast burrito to beat off the evils of a hangover.

    The tacos have really great flavor. The rice was just okay, but tasted slightly undercooked. Churros were great. My only complaint would be the prices. Tacos are reasonable, but $4.25 for tiny pieces of a churro is a bit much. I was expecting two full churros at that price, but it’s only half of a churro.

    Delicious tacos, my wife loved the rice, said was fluffy and very tasty, i had 3 tacos, 1 og, 1 yard bird and 1 federale, all 3 were delicious, i think i liked the federale the most. Service was outstanding, and the decor is must see, some really cool art and other things, definitely recommend this place and will probably be back soon. Came back for first time in a while, and food was just as good as remember, i tried a tri tip burrito, and probably one of the best I've had in quite a while, and of course an og and yard bird taco, to go. Even though they were packed, and busy, wait time for food was not very long at all. Definitely will be back

    Wow, decor and vibe are happening here. Friendly staff and outstanding food. Limited menu: tacos, burritos and nachos. Sodas and beers. Did I mention the food is delicious. Carnitas tacos comes with onions, cilantro, and sour cream. Also, the sauce is excellent. The dining room is small, but they do have several tables and chairs outside. This place can be a highly recommended.

    Great place to eat! Their tacos are amazing, and they have something for everyone. Gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, OG steak tacos or chicken.

    Loved the helpful service, being out of town and not familiar with all of the items, the staff at the counter were super helpful and patient. Loved my tacos, one chicken one beef, although the chicken was a little better if I had to pick. Outdoor seating was great but the inside was fun if you wanted to be indoors. Cute place, I’d be a regular if I lived near by!

    Placed an order to-go. I ordered the bacon breakfast burrito. It was a perfect portions of bacon,egg, and potatoes. They use Applewood smoked bacon, and it's in chunky pieces! None of that biting a piece of bacon and pulling half or all of it out! The cheese they use, whatever it may be, is delicious and creamy when it's melted. 🤤 I got the Chipotle sauce (shown in photo) on the side. It's smoky and slightly spicy. It added another layer of flavor that really brought out the flavors in the cheese and bacon. Next time, I'm trying the breakfast tacos, which I'm eager to try. It's definitely a trip worth taking. The inside is a bit small, but very fun with the many decorations. There are a few places outside to sit and enjoy the morning on a decent day. Highly recommend trying this locally owned restaurant out!

    This place is super cool. First off, food was awesome. Decor is awesome. Space is lacking, but its a small building and part of the charm. Wish there was a better beer selection. Service was the only part that could be improved on. Not that they were bad, but I had questions on the salsa and price to add some extra and they got super weird about it. I ordered 3 tacos and an order of chips and salsa, I love salsa and knew I would need extra....they couldn't quite grab onto that concept somehow.... Definitely will go back if I am in town again.

    BLUF: One of the best experiences at any kind of restaurant period. The long story: 5 minute walk from Amtrak as I had a layover. Ordered on the phone in case it was busy. The girl on the phone was highly professional and helped me chose the best meal based on what I was looking for. At the restaurant the style and atmosphere was fantastic. Friendly and a cool tattoo shop vibe. My food was ready and delicious, the carnitas were out of this world tender. Every single worker that I interacted with, cashier, cook, guy outside; they all seemed like they were happy to be there and kind. I have no problem pointing out small flaws with a place but this was a rare occurrence where I could not have changed a single thing to make it better outside of putting the restaurant inside a Japanese tea garden or something. One of the best casual quick spots I've ever been to and I've been across 6/7 continents (don't know the food scene in Antarctica). Will 100% go back when in town.

    Some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Hands down. I’m not surprised this gem would be hidden amongst a sea of Latino restaurants. Seek out this treasure. Eating this taco made me feel as if I were sliding in through the pearly gates on a water slide. Heavenly experience. The taste, the perfect blend of spices and delightful atmosphere and stellar service is so refreshing. Thank you!! Yum!!

    What a cute little taco place! I had a Carnitas quesadillla with a pleasingly hot sauce. They had a variety of mild sauces as well, but the habanero sauce was the absolute bomb! And it came with sour cream, not the taco bell low fat funny tasting sour cream, nono this was the real thing. The decor was the vato Mexican style huero. The owner is obviously very proud of his place, with the decor and the cleanliness. There was a cute couple waiting on me too. Try this place!!!!

    Amazing and unique tacos. Typical Cali pricing. Wish they had more than one dessert option.

    The salsa was really fresh and good. Tried the shrimp tacos (battered), on point. The decor was pretty cool and unique. The cashier person was very friendly, made u feel very welcomed. Recommend
