Opinions de El Sancho Loco Taqueria Thousand Oaks
Everything was great way to much food though definitely have lunch for tomorrow. Thank you el sancho loco
Great food at a fair price! We love the food!
This is legit neighborhood hole-in-the-wall Mexican food, served with a smile and an ice cold cerveza. The salsa bar could use a little refresh. But overall I love it.
Thank you! So friendly and delicious food
This place offers a selection of items you won't find at your typical Mexican restaurant. Lets be frank there is no shortage of huspanic food in the area but what really sets it apart is the atmosphere. It's a melting pot where the kitchen and dining floor seamlessly blend Spanish and English, creating an inclusive and vibrant environment. It's the kind of place where cultures collide and everyone feels at home.
The food was pretty good. The service was excellent. I've been so far removed from LA that I did get sticker price shock. It was over $80 for two of us. But good visit overall.
Our visit was on 9/13/20 with my family of 8. The owner was great. Very welcoming he as well as his other employees. We visit each time we travel that way. The owner treated my family with great service. The food was delicious and my children were also surprised with a special treat of there tasty funnel cake. This is the spot to go for great food and great service..🙂
Love this place! The drinks are crafted by a genuine mixologist! The most creative cocktails I've had in a while. And the atmosphere is super cool. If you want authentic Mexican food in the Conejo Valley, this is the place! The owners are super nice too.
Food was good bit pricey to me but thats just my opinion
From the get go its like being at a place you've been to dozens of times. The employees and the owners are hands on and TOP NOTCH! They love their customers and gladly reward you with THE BEST FOOD! I got to meet Joe the owner by chance, on a delivery we had in Moorpark. We had the Enchiladas and they would have made grandma feel nervous they were THAT good! I would recommend El Sancho Loco to everybody looking for a home cooked meal! Keep up the GREAT work Joe!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!🙏😇
I was not expecting what I got from this experience ... Gets better every time I try some thing new So many things to chose from Looking forward to my next visit 🤗 thanks guys
A lot of good authentic Mexican food. Everything I've eaten there has been good. Sometimes the meat can be a bit fatty, but it's usually seasoned well. The only complaint I have is that when I order food, they usually tell me it'll be ready in 15 minutes, but when I get there 15 minutes later, I end up sitting around 30 minutes or longer waiting for my food. This happens the majority of the time and has resulted in me ordering food from there much less frequently.
This is a great and authentic little place. Been going for several years, and they have been upgrading interior and menu. The menu is a bit confusing to some, but worth watching. Their habanero side of hot sauce is an orange color, fresh made and so hot it is best diluted with their salsa bar sauces. Very good shrimp cocktails with plenty of large shrimp.
The food here is fire....literally. The red and habanero salsa were amazing. Super spicy but worth it. Tacos were on point, beans and rice were just like mama makes.
Superb unique flavors. I asked the nice lady at the register to order for me as if I was her boyfriend and I was hungry. I got this amazing burrito that had some pineapple in it black beans red and green sauce it was a 10. I want to eat here again. I loved it! Thank you.
Wow, what can I say that hasn't been already said. This place is truly a hidden gem within Newbury Park. I'm glad I found it and look forward to coming back next time I'm in town. Friendly staff and personal, great prices. Huge burritos that satisfied after a morning mountain bike ride
I have been coming to this place since it first opened about 8 years ago. The owner is always there to greet you with a smile and say thank you as you leave with a full and happy stomach. We have had Joe and his staff cater our kids graduation parties and our guests are always pleased, Keep up the good work, it will pay off.
This is the original spot. Food is spot on. I usually go for the Pozole or the Menudo. Although both are good. The pozole is my favorite .The assortment of beers and sizes is pretty impressive. Chips and salsa are good but not great. Portions are also on the bigger size so you definitely won’t leave hungry. Haven’t had a breakfast burrito at this location. But isle it’s as good as the second location then it’s a must try. I recommend this place.
If you’re from Newbury Park, you already know we don’t just hand out praise lightly… but El Sancho Loco Taqueria easily has the best breakfast burritos in the entire Conejo Valley. No contest. Stopped in this morning to grab a bunch of breakfast burritos for my picky group of friends — you know how it is, everyone wants something different, no onions on this one, extra salsa on that one, swap the meat on the other. Adrian handled it like an absolute pro. Super patient, got every detail right, and made the whole order feel effortless. Each burrito came out perfect — hot, fresh, packed, and honestly just hits different compared to anywhere else around here.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, we felt so welcomed—the atmosphere was warm, lively, and full of good vibes. The food? Absolutely AMAZING! Every bite was bursting with flavor, and you could tell everything was made with love. A huge thank you to the owner for going above and beyond, treating our kids with free drinks and a delicious dessert! That kind of generosity and care is rare to find these days. The customer service was top-notch—everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a place where you can enjoy delicious food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere, THIS is the spot! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you again for making our visit so special. ❤️
Most of the reviews are good reviews, there were a little that almost made me pass it up. But the fact that the owner or manager responded made me feel like it was worth a try and I’m happy I did. Like already commented the staff is very friendly, no one seems to be just standing around everyone including the manager/ owner are staying busy. It was impressive. The restaurant was clean and the salsa bar is wonderful! Not to mention the chips are great. Hate it when places have terrible chips. My burrito was huge and made to order. I’ll be back!
Food was amazing service was great and the owner made us feel very welcomed and so did the servers. Definitely a must visit! We had fajitas and flan for dessert OMGGGGG!!! And the bathroom was so adorable and fun , didn’t get pics of the food went down way too fast.
The food was great! I ordered the chilaquiles verdes. You can’t tell because of the amount of cheese added but now that I know, next time it’s light cheese for me. The service is great, very nice people. Clean place. I’m not from the area but if I was in the area I’d definitely go again.
This place is really really really good!! Best Micheladas and food!! Menudo and Tacos are my favorite!! Deep fried Ice cream for dessert!! Love it!!!!!!!
This place is a real authentic tasting place. They even will offer to wrap the biggest burrito they have in bacon and deep fry it. I recommend here for a real meal.
Dollar tacos on Tuesday nights. Carnitas was ridiculously awesome. Pastor was great too. Chorizo was okay. Didn't know about the taco grill outside on Tuesdays which was a pleasant suprise. The burritos inside are great too.
Very, very good. Excellent food, welcoming atmosphere. Fast, friendly service. Delicious salsa bar. If you’re seeking Mexican food in NP, this is the spot. Get a burrito; can’t go wrong. Overall very impressed with this establishment. Easy stop off the 101. Good people, good food A+ Thank you guys!!

Great food! Huge portions, good prices and friendly staff, what more can you ask for. This place is a must try, ate there Saturday night for the first time and I’ll be back!!
Sancho Mexican Restaurant delivered an excellent experience. The staff was professional, courteous, and attentive, making me feel very welcome. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, and the customer service was truly exceptional. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Mexican cuisine and outstanding service.
Ive been coming here since relocating to Newberry Park and I can tell you the service is attentive and friendly the food is constantly tasty and they have a full bar! Also the patio this time of year is stunning for a casual bite and cerveza. Great parking and the owner is just as nice as his staff.
Great tasting food. Generous portions. Everyone is happy when we purchase food from ElSancho Loco

Had a great time here! The margaritas are very generous. Shared the Chile verde plate with corn tortillas and had more than enough food. Will visit again!
Amazing food and cleanliness. Unfortunately the service was awful and not train on service animals procedure. Yet i went back for the amazing food for a secend time the same day.
Great portion size good price. Overall pretty tasty the meat was eight out of 10. They offered pineapple on the burrito, that was new, I didn’t try it but next time I think I will.

I've food wise I had experience but it was done by someone who was training to be a cook. But really after they saw what had happened they treated me great. I'm basically rating the worst I've had there, but for drinks and spending time with FAM and friends watching ⚽ , 🏈 or ⚾... It's a great place to be.

Ordered a California burrito and the carne asada was overcooked and lacked seasoning. The “fries” inside tasted undercooked and also unseasoned, more like boiled potatoes. Ended up removing the fries. The veggie quesadilla had peppers that tasted raw. Overall disappointing experience but the salsa was actually really good and the staff seemed very attentive!
Very overpriced Mexican food. Los Agaves in Westlake is much higher end and 25% less. I’m in shock that they are charging $18.50 for a carne asada burrito. Insane.
We went there to ate and I saw how the owner is rude .
Ordered ahead and it wasn't ready when I arrived. Went up multiple times to ask about it and they kept telling me 10 min each time. Ridiculous! Didn't even taste good after all the waiting. Strange seasoning and chewy.
I ordered food to be delivered. I ordered an enchilada burrito, which the lady on the phone said is a wet burrito, an $8 salad with ranch, and a lemonade. The order that arrived was a dry burrito, a salad covered in Italian dressing, and a coke. I can’t drink Coke and don’t like Italian dressing, so now after waiting two hours for a food delivery, I have no food. I called to try to get it resolved, but the person on the phone clearly didn’t care, and offered no resolution.
Ordered Dos Sopes with refried beans paid $15 plus Tip for takeaway. This is what I recieved. Called the resturant spoke to Omar he said that's what it comes with and that's what you get. Very disappointed. Something they shouldn't even charge more then $6.
Showed up at 9:10am walked in and no one greeted me or helped me out till 9:23am finally the cook saw I was standing there and he hin self was like where is the girl. Well the girl was outside doing God knows what and comes in all rude like " HELLO CAN WHAT DONYOU NEED " she w as s very rude this was on 4/3 /19 and the burrito was salty as hell I couldn't even finish it it was so salty. It a shame cause I been her before but this time was a horrible experience.

Customer service of the owner was so bad, he was upset for all of the questions I had when ordering. The menudo is not a real menudo since it looks like a mix with pozole. My order took like 30 minutes, really bad experience, this restaurant doesn’t represent a real mexican cuisine.
