Sancho's Taqueria Palo Alto Reviews
These guys went above and beyond for our family! Had a great experience with really rare personal service and caring/accommodation when we needed it. Good food & great place. Sancho, you've got a great team & thank you for everything!
Awesome fish and shrimp tacos-- huge and full of flavor.
Food was great, had been a while since we’ve eaten here but going back on the list! Wish they didn’t char the tortilla but still darn good
Best burrito in Town. The place accepted only cash or we had to use a new app.the food was fantastic. It's a secret hole in the wall spot.
Best fish tacos I’ve ever had! Been coming here for years and the quality always remains the same. Friendly and attentive service from the host. Bring cash as it’s cash only!
Walked by , took a quick look and went in There was people of all ethnic backgrounds in queued so I got a good feel. Three things I liked 1. Taste 2. Service 3. Portions Added bonus the price
Food was extra good today. Great value for money as always. And super fast delivery.
Love Sancho's, we have been going their for 17 years and more than 400 times. Fish tacos are the families favorite.
Great vibe, great prices, great food. 10/10 would visit again Thanks for showing us how to order online when we didn’t have cash!
This place is a hidden gem. We were starving and needed food and it was convenient but then I bit into my quesadilla and it was incredible. You could taste the quality of the chicken which was well grilled. Also came with pico and guacamole and was substantial. Worth going out of your way for!
Best chili verde burrito ever, and super nice folks at Sancho's! The place itself is small, and they only have a couple of outdoor sidewalk tables on the street, but there's always a good soccer game on tv.
We come here often because the staff is friendly and the food is reliably good. We like their fish tacos (grilled or battered and fried), and we also like their burritos and chimichangas too. Chips and guacamole are good as well. Bring cash or use their ATM. There are some tables outside if you’d rather enjoy the weather, but they do have tables inside and a restroom. It’s perfect if you’re not in the mood for a long sit down experience, quick and tasty food!
It's been a long time since I've been back, but they're fish tacos are legit! Grilled or fried, they are golden nuggets of joy! The shrimp tacos were okay and the Cali Nachos were just okay. Great service as always! Recommended!
Picked up food here for the first time yesterday. It was OK. Had the fish tacos which people recommend and it was fine. I’ve definitely had better. The bean and cheese burrito was good not very flavorful, but I would get here again. You can order ahead, which was nice. Good prices!
Decent tacos but they messed up my order twice. I had to go back to the cashier because the server and cook staff wouldn't believe me that I ordered another item (it hadn't gotten to the receipt or they misunderstood the receipt, not sure they were speaking Spanish). All in for two tacos with one fish and a rice beans meal and salad was about $17-20. A bit overpriced for service and food quality. Wouldn't recommend the "salad." Felt a bit queesy afterwards anyways. And for such a price they should accept credit cards (cash only).
I order a Asada Nachos and there's no Asada in the Nachos, guacamole was black already chips were saggy, they put red sauce all over I ask for Nachos not Chilaquiles 😔 Horrible Experience never ordered again for this place 😑
Cash only? In the location u guys are at? In the big 2025? This place is perfect for the people that live in the area, not if you’re actually looking for Mexican food. No authentic Mexican spot adds cheese to their tacos💀I saw a review where the owner commented that they have been there for 20 years so they must be good but then that same owner comments to another review saying that credit card company fees are killing small businesses LMFAO so which one is it?🤔It’s universally known that businesses who only do “cash only” are avoiding paying taxes/lying about how much they make. But who’s going to notice when the demographic ur serving doesn’t know the scamming going on at this business. Definitely getting reported with the Better Business Bureau as well🥀
This place is overpriced, inflated, ordered the chicken flautas and the chicken had a really bad taste. I tried this place once again after my first visit about a year or so ago which was the same , not good. You have to wonder why this place has over 4 stars when it should be like a - 1 star the most.
