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!

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.

Good Mexican. I love the Birria tacos. They were warm and welcoming. It was rather loud music on the inside. So if you want to be able to sit and have a conversation maybe the patio is better.

Trying to be upscale but excessively high prices don't make for great food. It's marginal at best and the prices are extremely high. A $20 burrito? Really? Chips are old and cold. Meet in the burrito is Luke warm. Not impressed at all. Not my cup of tea, but it may be yours.

This place is great! Much better than ANY place in my heavily Latino neighborhood! The burritos are loaded with filling and must be at least 2 pounds! I always get the Sancho #2 burrito al pastor (sin piña) because I like that sour cream and guacamole. With the meat it will be a little over $18 (not including tip) (you best tip people!). I have half for lunch, the rest for dinner at home. Or... well, sometimes I'm hongrey at lunch and I down it all at lunch! There are TV screens inside usually showing news or sports or both (several screens) but the sound is low on the screens. I have no doubt if you had a request about the TVs they'd be fine with it. But hey, you'll be reasonable, right? RIGHT? There are tables inside, and outside on a patio. No TVs on the outdoor patio. There is beer. I don't know what kind because I'm in the area for work and I don't like beer anyway. So I never order beer. Seriously, the food is good, the staff are all great, and they deserve our business.

Always fantastic food. One of the best tacos al pastor in the area. I love the handmade tortillas. I think they also have the best nachos around.Kid-friendliness: This is one of my 10-year-old son's favorite places

Yeah I'm pretty sure this spot is a no go for me for a while. Like some other reviews have said this spot isn't "bad" but I'm continuously struggling to find a dish here that I like and would come back for. Both times I tried el sancho were for delivery. That understandingly leaves out the ambiance and general service but good food should be able to stand on its own and would invite you to order again if it was good. As far as their delivery system goes I am happy to report that my order has always been made correctly and packaged with care. The food and price point just isn't doing it for me so I don't think I'll be back for a while. The two dishes I didn't care for were the asada tacos and bean/cheese burrito. The asada was dry and lacking good flavor. The bean and cheese burrito was actually one of the worst ones I've ever had...they didn't melt the cheese....in a bean and cheese burrito. The beans were closer to cold then lukewarm and as a result the cheese literally had no melt to it. When you'd bite into the burrito it was just globs of cold cheese and beans. The onion I added was almost non existent. Pretty rough. The saving grace item that had some potential was the carnitas tacos. I opted for a homemade tortilla which was good, the meat wasn't fatty but had a nice crisp. With cheese and add ons it was a good bite. Knowing that they did execute one good dish I'm giving a middle of the road three stars, but honestly had I only had the burrito it would have been two stars because it was really inedible. The prices as others noted are a bit steep for what you get. It felt like everything was an up charge and when the food is so so, not a selling point. Strange that it's an up charge for handmade tortilla vs a regular one, I've never seen a place that would not just serve handmade tortillas with all of the entrees if that's what they make already. If you want some additional toppings on a taco then more up charges. I wasn't impressed and I'm sorry that this spot just isn't doing it for me, at least I can say I tried it more than once.

We first starting ordering from el Sancho during the pandemic. Everybody was getting food delivered to their house and it forced us to try some new places in town. We've tried many things from their menu and everything has always been delicious. Our favorites include the red posole, California burrito, breakfast burrito, chile relleno burrito, nachos (so much cheese!), enchiladas (their red sauce is so uniquely addictive), tostada salad w el pastor, crunchy tacos and those tacos with the cheese shell . Their burritos are huge! We love their salsas! Especially the redish orange one! It's so spicy and has great flavor as well! Sadly, we don't care for their guacamole. It reminds me of the premade stuff you get at the store. Their tortilla chips are the best around! If you're picking up a Togo order, be sure to ask for chips or you may not get them. Also, we haven't had much luck with the churros. They are small and pricy for what you get but also they aren't very tasty.
