After trying figure out where in BV to eat with 6 people that included 2 kids and 2 ppl with dietary restrictions, we settled here. And thank goodness we did!! We were immediately greeted by friendly staff, who seated us promptly and gave us 2 generous baskets of chips along with 2 types of salsas. As we were deciding on food, we also got a bowl of corn elote which was amazing! A crispy relleno is what I order at all Mexican restaurants to gauge how much I like the food, and this place didn't disappoint! One of the best rellenos I've had, and the green chili was fantastic. The rest of the party was very happy with their meals, as well, which included shrimp Enchiladas, tacos, combos, and nachos. All fresh, authentic, and delicious! And even the kids hamburger was a nice, thick patty with lettuce and tomato. Our party also had the house marg and the Sanchez, and both were well-balanced and not over-priced. Highly recommend! On top of it all, Santiago, our server, was so amazing. Friendly, very attentive, and patient with us all as we practiced our Spanish. Couldn't have asked for a better Mexican restaurant. read more

Came here for lunch on the way to camping in Salida and it was a nice restaurant. Much bigger than it looks with a ton of inside and outside seating. Everyone wore a shirt that says something like "I'm Mexican, ask me for a kiss". I wonder how many times they're taken up on that offer? Anyways I ordered the Mojarra Frita fried fish and it was exactly how my dad makes it. I miss that dish. My friend got the shrimp ceviche and she liked it but it was just average for her. We also ordered queso for the chips which was very tasty. Prices were good for the large dishes. Great meal in my opinion read more

Large portions, quick service and in the heart of buena vista! We were a group of 6 and stopped for lunch on our way back to Denver.

Highly recommend this place if you're in buena vista read more

Will definitely be coming back next time we are in Buena Vista. Thank you for the great service Santiago!!! read more

We had a mini vacation to celebrate our wedding anniversary and because we were staying in BV, we decided to have dinner at Casa Sanchez. We are glad we did. The first thing we noticed as we walked through the front door was the welcoming aroma of good Mexican food. Unobtrusive little place but lots of seating inside. We received a friendly greeting and our server was attentive without hovering. We're not big drinkers, so we passed and just had water. Our hotel was about 10 minutes away too and not knowing the area well, it was just a better choice. They do have, however, a fully stocked bar for those who are more adventurous. The menu is extensive. So much to choose from and all looked so good. We were given two bowls of salsa and a very generous basket of chips. Yum. Both of us opted for the Carnitas Burrito. I love carnitas. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect the plateful of food that was put before us. Massive round plates (12 to 14 inches) packed with Mexican goodness. The burrito in itself was a meal but alongside was refried beans (delicious), rice, pico de gallo and guac. All fresh, all wonderful. My husband remarked how tasty the beans were. So often the beans are bland and watery but these were packed full of flavor. And the carnitas? Tender, scrumptious. No grissel, no fat, just lean, flavorful pork. Quite possibly the best carnitas I have ever tasted. You could tell this is meat that has been slow-cooked, it was just falling apart. So we made it back to our hotel and fell on the bed, bellies full and souls happy. The bill for such an enormous amount of food? Around $35, plus tip. Great Mexican food in a small town. Highly recommend. read more

Food was incredible! Margaritas were fantastic. Happy hour offers 2 for 1 beer and margaritas which is insane!! The service was amazing, very quick and friendly staff members. Can't wait to come back!!! read more

Being a Colorado native I've tasted excellent Mexican food and Casa Sanchez shines. We ordered the nachos deluxe, which was out of this world. The large combo plate was two crispy rellenos and a chicken enchilada. Cheers to the chef!!! read more

Have ate here twice now and was great the first time and even better the second time. Food portions are big. Prices are typical for Mexican food. I recommend this place to everyone. I even had to buy their salsa. Service was great as always. read more

Came here for dinner after a dip at Mount Princeton and really enjoyed our experience. Great spot for some traditional delicious Mexican food. Portions are large and incredibly filling. Service was fast and friendly. Nothing exceptional but nothing problematic either. Easy to get a seat and was definitely busy so it seems to be popular with the locals. read more

Came here last year when we visited Buena Vista, and remembered the food being good so we stopped by again for lunch after a nice hike. The portion sizes are huge, and the food was tasty and very filling. Carnitas were a little dry and the margaritas a little sweet, but they gave us a tequila shot on the side and that was fun. The server brought drinks quickly and was on top of refilling our glasses. He did put a sizzling plate of fajitas right in front of my toddler but we were paying attention so we were able to move it out of the way. All in all, satisfying meal. I only wish they had outdoor seating! (Oh- according to another reviewer, apparently they do in the back? Will have to try that out next time! read more

Casa Sanchez III is probably the best Mexican food in the BV Valley. But, beyond great food, they make incredible drinks and are incredibly friendly. We recently visited with some friends from out of state, where we enjoyed a variety of foods. I have a 3 item combo with a burrito, chimichanga, and chili relleno, all of which were great. The chimi and the relleno were both so crispy and delicious. We also had drinks; the girls ordered a giant margarita and were surprised when it arrived. It was huge! They said it's about equivalent to four regular-sized. At the end of the meal, they brought us "Mexican dessert," which was a round of tequila shots for the table. They were a lot of fun and took great care of us while we were there. read more

Pretty good Mexican food. The flavors are definitely there, but I feel that they might have been softened a bit for those with a lighter palate. Decent prices and a nice patio area in the back that is dog friendly. Their double platter is a lot of food. Very friendly staff overall. There is also a seating area out front. read more

This was a nicely priced meal on our way back from Leadville. The staff was awesome and the space was comfortable. Got the steak copper fajitas and they were good! I'm still kicking myself for accidentally forgetting my leftovers at the table! read more

This place is stupid. Stupid good. Everything about Casa Sanchez is incredible. Margs, cheese dip, guacamole, mole, dishes, variety. You name it. Staff are incredible. Every time we come to BV we come here and every time they ace it. 15 minutes before closing and they are all smiles. Food on table by 9. The service never drops below spectacular. Attentive. Colorado is full of mediocre, high price food with awful service and entitled service workers thinking 25 % tip is required for empty water and sometimes rudeness (please order now, I'm busy). Casa Sanchez is everything you want and more in a restaurant. Massive portions. Absolutely delicious. Got the fajita burrito and added chipotle cream. Fajitas copper was insane. So much food. Huge bowl of cheese dip that is queso blanco - best I've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection. read more

Overall (A-) This place would have gotten an A because they have awesome food and service and are a great value. But it's a bit of an old broken down place. I don't mind it - but some people do Service (A) The staff is super nice and the food comes out fast. Excellent friendly customer service Value (A) It was around $45 out the door for 3 - plenty of food and good values. Could get a plate for around $10-$20. Not bad for high quality authentic Mexican Quality (A) Everything we ordered was really good. All the enchiladas are excellent and the carnitas tacos are a large portion. Go to this place and give it a chance - it's good and filling. Will be trying the Mexicana enchiladas next time. We will stop here next time we pass through town read more

No photo of the food. Why? Too hungry and too tired. But believe me- they're worth stopping by. Look at the accolades on the wall. I had the Carnitas de Puerco. Omg! if you don't know what to get. Then do this! It's a big plate. and called the Best Plate for a reason. It's tender pieces of slow cooked pork. Served with beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, green Chile and tortillas! With A refreshing Margarita of course! Great service and cute as button outside. read more

I'm gonna go ahead and give them a 5 star review. We were having a weekend away trip, my wife and I. I consider myself a mexican food snob, as it's my favorite food. We got there early, around 5:00pm, on a Saturday night, and we're seated immediately. We got chips and 2 types of salsa immediately. The red salsa was very good and a bit spicy. The avocado salsa was also very good. Looking at the menu, I was concerned a bit because the prices we're very reasonable. Shocking that someone still as good prices. I had a 3 item combo with rice and beans for around $15. The shredded beef burrito was on the small side, and I ordered it smothered with queso, and upcharge, but delicious. The crispy relleno was the biggest one I've ever had and was incredible, covered in green chili. The enchilada was a good size, but I wasn't crazy about the red sauce. I think all there domestic and Mexican beers we're like $3.50. What??? My wife had the bacon wrapped shrimp, also with beans, rice and tortillas, which we're awesome and plentiful. We took half of them home. We'll eat here again next time we're in town. read more

Great food. Lots of good options for kids. Service was quick. A solid Mexican food place. The pork carnitas were amazing, enchiladas white queso were good, fish tacos were just ok. Salsa and guac was also good! read more

Food was excellent. Also faster service than we expected. Dog friendly seating in the front end with sun umbrellas another large covered dog friendly area in the back. Normal booths for non dog families in the middle of the restaurant building. They were so extremely nice to us. When they were out of their famous sapodillas they gave us totally free homemade churros for dessert that were awesome. Huge portions for dinner. We had a large carnitas plate split between 2 people and a big quesadilla split between 2 others. We were surprised at the extremely reasonable prices compared to Denver prices of comparable quality food. read more

Food was great! Chips, salsa and guacamole was fresh and flavorful. We had a pitcher of the Sanchez margaritas and it was very good--and good value. There were good options for the vegetarians in our group which was really nice. Our water Javier was friendly, efficient and did an excellent job anticipating our needs. We will definitely come back. read more
