    Negro Modelo Chips & Pico
    Whylee R.

    We first started going to the Chando's tacos in Sacramento before there was even a location in Elk Grove/South Sacramento and it was always the best. The different options at Chando's set it apart from any other Mexican restaurants. They have vegetarian options, seafood, and more variety of meats than anyone else. Any of the meats done on the grill have such a smoky wonderful flavor that can't be beat. There really is nothing else

    A chicken mulita

    The chicken mulitas were delicious! I couldn't boy wait to taste it. We were surprise with the taste of them.

    The Chando's Taco truck!

    This review is for the Chando's Taco food truck at an event. We ordered 2 carne asada burritos and 2 pork adobada burritos and both kinds were good but too salty. My husband did kind that there's little to no rice, I don't think there's any in there, which is what he prefers. It's a lot of protein with mostly meat, plus the pico de Gallo, cheese, and we asked for salsa on the side instead of in the burritos. They were made quickly and served warm and packaged well. Service was fast, polite, and professional. There's no ambiance since it was at an event, so it wasn't at the restaurant, but we enjoyed our burritos at a picnic bench and we also got chips and mild salsa Verde with a drink. Everything was delicious, but again kind of salty. Portions were big so we split the burritos and only ate 2 and saved the other 2 for later. Looking forward to future events with Chando's tacos!

    I order nachos and tacos the papa. I asked for avocado in the side. They didn't give it to me. When up and asked and they told me they already gave it to me. I asked because I didn't get it. Worst experience.

    Loaded fries/ with steak

    Chandos, chandos......chandos ‍ First, I have to start off by saying I have been a patron of Chando's for many years and have seen the growth and expansion of the business and I'm so proud of you all. That being said, I ordered Chando's through a third-party delivery service. I don't remember. When I received my food, it was at first glance, aesthetically appealing, and I was excited to devour. The seasoning of the food was top-notch, which is the only reason I give you a slight pass. We ordered the three street tacos which were stuffed with toppings which I love however, the tortillas weren't crisp but either soggy from the juice or from the condensation through travel. It's stuck like glue to the parchment paper, making it very difficult to enjoy as the tacos breakdown in your hands We also ordered a loaded fry, which was also loaded with meats and toppings. Once I started eating it, I noticed that the fries were not cooked all the way through and you can taste that they were not fresh but seemed previously frozen. Upon skipping around the fries and through the toppings is where I discovered the huge grease puddle that was slowly building and taking over the fries. It quickly turned to mush, which forced me to not be able to finish it. Chandos, you have a great product however I feel either the process is being rushed or now due to great expansion corners are being cut, which makes me very sad. Your food is tasty and delicious , but I miss the love and care from back in the day.

    Chando's Veggie Tacos
    Nancy L.

    I came here on a Taco Tuesday where most of their tacos are $2.50. I love how they have a variety of vegetarian tacos. From my experience, they do rotate their Taco Tuesday menu but always have vegetarian options on the list. My friend and I each ordered a veggie, papas, and espinicas taco. Food came out super quick and hot. My favorite was the papas tacos since it was deep fried filled with mashed potato. The veggie and espinicas tacos was also really good but was a bit too salty for me. I recommend grabbing some of their green and red sauce at the sauce station and drizzling them on your tacos for maximum flavor. Would visit again for more Taco Tuesdays!

    Really good tacos! I love their pico and elotes too. The employees are friendly and the food is always fresh. Can't go wrong with a Chandos taco!!

    Adobada and asada street tacos
    Mikayla M.

    I tried the adobada and asada street tacos on my lunch break Thursday, both were good and I recommend them! 5 stars for those 2 tacos but I can't speak on the rest of the menu and only recommend what I ordered. The service was very fast and friendly here, lots of tables inside as well. Plenty of parking too. I recommend stopping by here sometime.

    Veggie tacos
    David C.

    Not bad. Service was helpful, water you refill yourself. There was a lot of different desserts in there though. I feel like I'd stop by just for that. I had gotten veggie tacos. They were decent, veggies tossed together, little bit light on cooking. Flavors didn't meld a bit. But I always like salsas to choose from and the green was nice and creamy.

    The carne asada burrito I tried here was terrible. It was loaded with lots of fillers like chopped lettuce, pico-de-gallo, guacamole, cilantro, diced onions, cheese and tomatoes. (I am glad I asked them not to add the sour cream.) The meat was dry, too chewy and overly seasoned. Rolled inside a poorly pan-fried tortilla shell that was already cracking in the middle when I removed the wrappings. The edges were cold. The much hyped burrito totally bombed. Very disappointing. Its loyal patrons and Sacramentans love Chando's. But you have heard the idiom that "love is blind." They obviously lack taste perception as well. Not good. Service was subpar and my order took an unusually long time despite only one customer ahead of me by the time I placed mine. Hard pass next time.

    Multiple thin hair in a clump.

    First time here! Ordered a mulita asada for togo along with order items. Found multiple pieces of hair in my food, all ranging from different colors and lengths after eating half of it. I was severely disgusted.

    Asada Mini Torta

    What happened to Chando's? We used to love this place but the flavor, quality and service have gotten so bad. We tried the Elk Grove location and vowed not to ever go back! We gave them another chance with the power inn location. It was fully disappointing. The carne asada used to be the staple. It no longer tastes like they grill it with the mesquite charcoal. It was greasy and reheated instead of being fresh. The competition is definitely leaving Chando's behind. Salsa is average too. It feels like they are no longer closely managing the restaurants.

The restaurant had great energy and a fun, buzzy atmosphere. The crowd was a lively mix of people from the Capitol, couples enjoying date night and moviegoers grabbing dinner before or after a show. We ordered the carnitas and carne asada. Both plates were generous and full of flavor. The carnitas were tender and practically fell apart with a fork, and the carne asada was cooked perfectly. Add friendly service and a colorful setting, and you have a great downtown Sacramento dining spot!

Unfortunately, the service was lacking during our visit. One of our meals was forgotten and we had to flag down the server to let him know. Our server also wasn't around very often, so it was difficult to get refills or ask for anything we needed. When we requested a specific number of to-go boxes, we weren't given enough and had to get up and ask for additional boxes ourselves. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but I took away 1 star for the lack of service. The service could definitely use some improvement, especially since it wasn't busy when we went. With more attentive service, this could have been a much better dining experience.
