Incredible place for tacos and burritos. They have a drive through but the seating is comfortable and they have some really interesting art inside as well as an Oscar the Grouch for the kids.

Wow just wow. Finally a place that gives you quality and quantity. Had a steak burrito and it was perfectly cooked. The side order of guacamole was so fresh it literally looks like it came out of a magazine! The fries were perfectly cooked and I love how it tasted like the potatoes were really stuffed in the fries. Everything I ate was just really good including the medium hot sauce that has a nice hot kicker after an odd sweet taste to start with hot which really does leave one with the feeling of "mmm, yummy!" This place has the best interior design I've ever seen in any type of Mexican food / taco joint; An example of a modernized establishment IMO. All staff was extremely nice and helpful. Place was very clean and colorful. Very welcoming (if not" seductive" ) Thanks for the talk Brian. This business is going to be a hit and I think will definitely continue growing! At the time of this writing (4/8/2019 1:21am), I think this place has been open since the beginning of the year and is a growing chain with a total 5 restaurants in Orange County, CA I and definitely a long-termer and will be returning. You might think pricing is a little high but it's definitely worth it and you we'll see the reward in the quality. NOTE: I literally enjoy the food so much that I forgot to take the rest of my pictures

Excellent food and service! Great taste with a different flare. I was so excited to find this location tonight...I was going to drive all the way up to Huntington Beach until I found this one!! Same great taste and quality! Now they have one in Newport and Sam Clemente too!!

I invite you to try Sancho’s beer battered fish taco. I have to say I was surprised with the excellent quality and generous portion. The first thing I noticed - the taco was enormous. The fish fillet was almost the size of my hand. Beer battered perfection. As I bit into it, the next thing I noticed was the freshness of the pico de gallo with bits of jalapeños. Delicious and fresh, perfect after the beach.

Love their food. Tacos are the best. My favorite is the yard bird, hubby and son love the flounder pounder, snd the surf and turf and the OG are also outstanding. They use a unique sauce that takes their tacos to the next level! And, don't forget to get a sode of beans, chips, and salsa to round out sn amazing meal!!! Plus, the atmosphere is fun!

10/10. Amazing tacos, in an environment that looks like a haunted house in TJ. I usually lean towards basic street tacos, but the combinations of ingredients and sauces are perfect. I had the OG and battered fish. The teens liked theirs too.

Was in the neighborhood and nearly missed this place driving bye. It is a hole-in-the-wall kinda funky joint nestled up on a strip mall in the middle of nowhere. They appear to have 8 locations throughout OC and N. San Diego and have made a name for themselves with their eclectic vibe and gringo style mexican eats. The atmosphere was true funk and was interesting to admire all of the trippy art around every corner. The menu has some unique concoctions and provides some basic ingredients mixed with a little voodoo funkalicious blends. The Cali burrito was tender meat infused with some delicious crunch. The Verde sauce was the best choice with this mix of burrito ingredients. The fish taco was delicious, but the meat and sauce mix on the O.G was a little odd for their tastebuds to truly enjoy. Not a bad little joint… Would definitely try this place again or even a different location to compare goodness with. Could have spent a few more minutes shooting this place for more photos, but it was busy… Next time!

Portions good, food was tasty, atmosphere has a lot going on. Unique art all over walls and some for sale. The flounder taco was just okay, fish was supposed to be grilled but felt more like it was baked. Enjoyed the Skrimp taco had big meaty shrimp beer battered. Carnitas burrito was flavorful with Spanish rice, pinto beans and tortilla was grilled to keep it together with option of red or green sauce. Everything is a la carte. The drive thru was closed, speaker issues it said on a written note.

tacos are a bit pricey but the surf n turf burrito was amazing and the rice is super flavorful my kids loved it.

Great mexican food spot! Great service, the food is always on point. I really like the Cali Gooey Burrito! I also order the Sawed Off Burrito, with bacon is my way to go for a solid breakfast. The interior decoration is really cool, all of the artwork is really cool and a SoCal vibe, very cool! Keep up the good work Sanchos!

Wonderful fish tacos. But $80 for tacos for 3 people and an order of guacamole???? We could have had lot better food for that. We went through the drive-through. It took about five minutes to prepare our tacos. Also, the Carnitas tacos were wonderful. Maybe not quite as good as the fish tacos but still out of this world. The guacamole mole was well seasoned than the chips were crispy not greasy..

3 ½ /5. I decided to check out Sanchos while I was in the area after hearing good things from friends. They warned me that while the food is great, it can take a while to prepare, so their advice was to order ahead. I called in for a carne asada burrito, only to find out they actually use tri-tip instead. As a first-time visitor, I asked for both green and red salsa, only to be surprised by a $1 charge for the extra, which came in an extremely small portion. Unfortunately, the salsa didn’t even live up to expectations, making that extra charge feel like a letdown. On a positive note, the tri-tip had a sweet flavor, but I found it surprisingly disappointing overall. The rice and beans, however, were quite good. Despite this mixed experience, I’m planning to give Sanchos another shot soon!

I know inflation hits us all, but 20 bucks for a tri tip burrito is outrageous, especially when it's not nearly as good as how you guys made them in 2020/2021. Also your spicy salsa is no longer spicy. I can't speak on the other items, maybe they are all as great as they used to be, but it feels like quality has suffered, while (not your fault) prices have gone past that of what is fair for a burrito (no chips, no drink). Hate to give a bad review, but I felt robbed on all fronts. Will come back in a year or so next time I'm in town. At least you keep the little guy in the trash can smiling.

Food is really good, but I was charged a tip twice on my two drive through orders by an employee. I was charged in total over $8 in just tips by this employee for what should’ve been $20 worth of food. I did not authorize these tips. The employee lied about the total I was paying as well. Telling me the total was $10.50 when really it $13.41 due to him charging me for this “tip”. The receipt shown is for the second order I made, after the first order. Seriously sketchy business practice. I’ll be contacting my bank regarding these charges. Update: I have filed a claim with Chase bank regarding these charges.

These tacos were definitely the most overpriced subpar tacos I’ve ever had in my entire life. I’m not sure who is giving these eight dollar tacos a five star. They’re literally the size of a normal street taco with half the meat. One of my tacos was supposed to be fried fish and it was soggy and a small piece of fish that looked like a fish stick from McDonald’s was thrown in the middle of it. You would be better off going to literally any random taco food truck for half the price and 10 times the quality.

They absolutely triple their prices and they are charging for every little thing you want a napkin they’re gonna probably charge you. You wanna take a step in the door they’re probably gonna charge you not what it used to be. Don’t go.

First time trying food at this restaurant. Burrito is sweet, tacos need to be specified they are sweet too. Ordered 5 tacos 1 asada burrito they sent only 1 salsa. Salsa not good not even spicy. If you want some good tacos or burrito not here.

$11 for a bean and cheese burrito that was literally empty, mostly just tortilla. Not sure how this place is in business.
