    Not a family friendly vibe but there were other families present. Really good food. Not the usual bar food at all. The pork belly nachos were a great appetizer and very delicious. Bistec Torta also flavorful and delicious. Spicy chicken mini tacos were exactly that... spicy! But so good. Cold beer on tap. This had more of a dive bar feel place with great food. Mostly outdoor seating. Indoor seating is mostly indoor but doors were always open so it still feels like you're outside. Wait staff wasn't your typical friendly feel but they were very efficient, attentive, and took care of us in a timely manner. I would take this over fake friendly and subpar service. We were extremely satisfied with the food, drinks, and service. We will definitely return.

    Great place to check out if you’re looking for a bite and drinks. The upstairs patio had amazing views of downtown. Drinks were affordable and adequately strong. The tacos were handmade tortillas and the empanadas were the highlight of our meal. Servers were very attentive, definitely coming back

    The food is just so so and the service is lacking. We went at 3 and sat in an empty section. The server never came. When we finally went down to order he told us the section was closed but there were no signs saying that, quite the opposite it said seat yourself and the server will find you. After we sat in the outdoor space and had to go get our own food ( because “ you decided to sit up there”) we started to eat within 10 min we were told we had to move because our dog was not allowed to be up there on the outside patio. We had to pick up our plates and find a new table. The drinks were really bad we actually took 2 sips and had to leave it. I’d say if you have to eat here be prepared to be underwhelmed

    Secrets out with this one. Probably the best artisan mini tacos in town. You don't come here expecting the same bland flavors you can find on every other corner here in SA. No, you come here for flavor explosions, marinated meats, homemade corn tortillas, and a great time. I'm surprised I hadn't left a review here until now. Maybe I didn't want everyone to find out how awesome this place is? I hope I can still get a table after this 😜 We came back after a small hiatus and they added new items to the menu to include rice+beans with every order of tacos 🤤 and new frozen margaritas flavors. After sampling the menu for the last few years, we found our usual... Pulled pork nachos, chicken tinga tacos, and a pineapple frozen marg. We tried a salad this time which was pretty tasty as well. The best way I can describe this place is 5star food with 2 star amenities. This is where the SA scene hangs out. You'll find people of all walks coming here to enjoy a casual setting with amazing dishes. Honestly, the tacos here are better than most anything you'll order on the Riverwalk. Definitely worth your time to check them out. Seating can be limited, so plan ahead. Also, it's mostly outdoors so be ready for a little outside eating. You won't be disappointed.

    Enjoyed some of the best tacos here in San Antonio! Absolutely delicious. The only downside during my visit was there lack of liquor for their drinks. We ordered three times before choosing a drink where they had all the ingredients. Enjoyed being outdoors.

    Nice atmosphere, good food, a little pricey on certain items, but happy hour specials make up for it if you can get there for them. Ask for Ms. Abbey as your server, she knows her stuff. Also, if the weather is great, sit outside on the upstairs patio, a lot more room, and not as cramped as the interior or downstairs. Food is good, menu always changes so only a few staples remain on the menu.

    I loved the atmosphere and the live music. Service was not welcoming. Typically, there's a "welcome." Would you like a drink?" and after some time, we get asked if we would like something else or so, but it wasn't the case here, and it felt as if they didn't want to service us at all. After we are finally helped, we get our drinks, and we are having a good time, we want to have another cocktail and another queso plate, but the waitress takes our menu away and never asks if we want anything else, felt as if she wanted us to leave. I'm a generous tipper, but after that service, just the required minimum... we will give it another try since it's a nice little spot, we hope to get better service next time 😀

    Not gonna lie, I was expecting a little bit more from Sancho’s. Here’s the good and the not so good. Good: I love the vibe. It was a hot weekday at 3 PM, so it was a little quiet, but picturing this place on a nice summer evening, I can only imagine the ambiance. There is outdoor, indoor and balcony seating. The selection is great. There are options for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The food is tasty too! My nachos tasted stellar. The not so good: Portion size for price. The regular nachos cost $8. The large was $11. I went with the regular because I expected the large be way too much (mama margie’s style), but the regular was just not enough for a meal. Even then, the cheese and beans were only on the top chips, leaving a naked bottom layer of tortilla chips. Definitely order the regular if you’re trying to snack or as an appetizer. The beer. Unfortunately they were out of draft, but both bottles of Bohemia I ordered were underwhelmingly warm. Beer is a little on the pricey side for non craft beer. Womp. Overall, I spent $28 for two regular nachos and two bottled beers. Would I come back? Sure. Is it a go-to for me? Nah.

    The food was amazing, margaritas super tasty. Highly recommend the tacos and nachos. Will definitely order both again but can’t wait to try new things soon too.

    Best beens in SA! Shrimp tacos are a bit spicy for my syracha spice level taste buds but still ate it because of the flavor! It keeps you coming back. Decor is ok but still vibey

    Had the carnitas torta. So wonderful. The bread was perfect and the meat to veggies ratio was on point. Our server was on top of refills and was a delight. It was open mic Tuesday and was so much fun. Will definitely come back.

    From the start we had two servers the first didn't seem interested in being there but then she traded to another server who came off as rude in the beginning but after some time he was awesome. The nachos are smaller so order several if your trying to share but they tasted amazing along with the tacos.

    The pork belly tacos are soooo delicious. They usually come with pickled onions but I don't like onions. The salsa is really tasty just enough spice and the corn tortillas are so light and fluffy.

  • 4/5 Georgina C. 5 months ago on Google
    The food was tasty, beans were cooked but hard, rice was not rinsed well, and they lacked savory with excess of comino spice. Tacos are excellent and flavored. Carnitas tacos aren't carnitas, but carne de puerco deshebrada. Cups are plastic as well as utensils. Atmosphere is chicos banda. Staff is courteous and welcoming.

    The margarita was so good for the price. Nowadays I can’t find a margarita I like under $14 but I enjoyed theirs. Very refreshing and didn’t take like complete cheap liquor like others. The tacos 🌮 were super flavorful. The band and service was fun 😎 Went during the weekend but it wasn’t too busy.

    Food was ok, I’ve had better but the ambiance and cute place is a must visit! Top floor patio has beautiful views! Will come back and try some different foods. Staff was friendly and efficient but our cc was asked to be kept for tab, even if it is just for food/no alcohol.

    First time visit as we saw many positive reviews on their nachos so we decided to check it out. The Pork Belly Loaded Nachos are Legit fantastic 👌 😋!!! The service was great, friendly, and gave recommendations.

    Absolutely love Chrissy. She is literally the best. So attentive, friendly, and an absolute pleasure to be in the presence of. Not to mention, the nachos were on point. Would highly recommend. Go see Chrissy and let her know, I referred you. I promise, you'll love it, as much as we did!

    I didn't want to perfect rate this place because that can be just as bad as a 0. Honestly. I had a great time. Live music and a great staff. Food was home made out of this world! Felt like I was back at tio's house drinking beer and eating tacos! iykyk. I lost something and they helped be calmly and professionally figure out where it was. Turns out I was a dummy. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a beer and some good tacos.
