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 read more

FYI. This location is open! Not closed!!! Not sure why it shows closed on Yelp. Inside there is a variety of choices to eat from. We ordered the Baja fish taco, a chicken taco, the fries and a chicken burrito. Honestly the Baja fish taco was delicious the sauce had a nice kick to it! The chicken was not my fave, me and my friend both felt it needed more seasoning. The fries were also a 10/10 as they give you A LOT for the price. Could easily be shared between two people. Service was quick, you order and then they call your order! Inside there is plenty of tables and a salsa bar!!! Which is cool! I always like Chando's so I def recommend. The Baja taco is worth the price and probably the best fish taco I have had! read more

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. read more

Chando's Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

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! read more

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. read more

What's not to love about Chandos- 20 years ago i would have never told you about it- the line was already around the block! Driving through for the first time in a decade- thrilled to have more locations to choose from for the same amazing experience - even with seating! love it! read more

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! read more

On April 2, 2026 I have the Ensenada fish tacos delivered to my home. On March 31, 2026 I had some really great fish tacos at Sack city brews a brew pub near my home. The tacos from Chando's there were two were not good at all. The fish was not crunchy. I did have a crunchy bit at first, but then the rest of them were just soggy. I don't even think they were fried they were they were cooked, but they were not fried and crispy as I had expected. The cabbage was minimal and the sauce was at times too spicy and at times not spicy enough. I think they just popped it on instead of pouring it in a thin strip. I had also ordered a side of sour cream, which was not with my order. I have tried Tondo tacos in this past and I remembered that they were OK not great. I should've known better. I will not be ordering from this restaurant again. The restaurant that I ordered from was on power and Road near Fruitridge. read more

Chando's Tacos - Adobada and asada street tacos - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

The carne asada burrito was 1/5 star. The burrito itself had a lot of wet ingredients: pico de gallo, cilantro, onions, sour cream, guacamole and lettuce (who puts lettuce in a burrito?!! gross). Rice and beans not included. The carne asada was overly salty, chewy, and overcooked to the point the texture was like jerky! I am warning you, do not order a carne asada burrito. The pollo and adobada tacos were decent 3.5/5 star. I appreciated the guacamole on it. I'll stick to just that if I ever come back. read more

Steak burrito was amazing! Wish I lived closer. Meat was cooked well, tortilla was a little crispy. Amazing.

Al pastor torta was worth the trip from the army depot scott boras fields. The spicy salsa is spicy but good flavor too.

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. read more

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. read more

Chando's Tacos - Birria taco with a torta - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

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. read more

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. read more

I used to love Chandos but something has seriously changed and not for the better. My boyfriend and I went for some tacos and taquitos and the taquitos were soo sweet in flavor and the meat in the tacos is just so dry, there are tons of black particles in the drinks because the ice is dirty. Do not come here unless you want to get sick. I have felt nauseous ever since I ate the first taco. A serious disappointment :( I hope they can improve but until then I will not be returning read more

Overall service was great. They're really nice and kindly to give you extra condiments if you ask vs to charging you extra. Ohh I love how they have extra special drinks like melon, horchata etc at no extra cost. The melon drink was good not too sweet just right and refreshing. I love the order 3 taco combo (quesabirria tacos) and come with a drink. I also upgrade it to the bigger tortilla 6" $2 more. Meat is pack on it but the cheese was a little short. Gotta add more cheese cause it all about the cheese. The Burrito bowl was alright. read more

In my mind I had a total different perception of the location of this place. Although it is a sit down restaurant, the appearance gave me the feeling of fast food. We ordered the birria tacos. And the blue chip asada nachos with a side of pinto beans. The Birria tacos , honestly I have had better from a birria taco truck. The tacos here were extremely fatty and much smaller with portions. I was not able to get rice, because they do not prepare rice. BUT the pinto beans were very delicious! They have a good variety of drinks and you can purchase alcohol. The dinning area was clean and busy. And the staff was polite and busy as well. I'm willing to give this chain another try but maybe at a different location and try a different dish. read more

Everything. That was the worst burrito bowl I ever had in my life! Just trash. The lettuce was wet, the meat was salty and the beans was over cooked. I asked and paid for jalapeños but there was none read more

i like chandos but this location is somethin else. i just felt inclined to review because i ordered and wasted maybe 20 minutes waiting. well the cashier didnt register my combo and only sold me the burrito.. i said combo that was the first thing that came out of my mouth. now i had to wait some more just to talk to her and she said she didnt ring me up for the combo. its a freaking 13+ dollar burrito. so now i'm like screw it, i'm not gonna wait and double charge my card. this is like super simple, ur not doing calculus. read more

Has its own parking lot. Indoor seating, with relatively clean interior. Quite the crowd around lunchtime on Taco Tuesday - $2.50 on tacos and drinks. Pretty good deal since one costs close to $4 on a regular day. The staff don't wear masks. The service was okay. They call your name, and you pick up your order at the counter. Everyone dining in gets their food on a tray, but they didn't give me one for some reason, which was slightly inconvenient. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and an asada taco. The chicken quesadilla was pretty standard as they come, not noteworthy for the $13-14 price point. The asada taco was tasty - the meat was on the drier side, but nothing a bit of lime juice couldn't fix. The guacamole on top was good. I'd consider coming again for the tacos. read more

I work nearby and my co worker and I decided to try this place out. We placed an order online; I got the burrito bowl and she got a burrito. When we sat down for lunch, we both realized that these didn't come with rice which seems odd, you would think that's one of the main ingredients. Anyways, I believe that has to be added on for an additional cost. So if that's what you're expecting, don't forget to add that on! Needless to say, I was still hungry after eating my bowl which basically just had chicken, beans and salsa even though I requested no beans. I probably wouldn't come back, the food lacked and when I walked up for my pick up order I wasn't greeted or anything. read more

We found this little out-of-the-way place because we were in the neighborhood for another event. So glad we did! The line was pretty long but we were at the front so that was nice. It did seem to move a bit slow, just for reference. We ordered a variety of tacos including carnitas, carne asada, and pollo asado. Fresh ingredients. Flavorful meats. Possibly house made tortillas (?) - everyone approved. But the best thing ever was my quesataco!! I have been eating low-carb for over a year and have no problem enjoying things without the tortillas. I have never been to a restaurant where they make a cheese shell like this and I was in heaven! They definitely have it down pat because the outside was crispy but the inside was cheesy, gooey goodness. The grilled chicken, cilantro and onions plus salsa we're great addition. If I were to return in the area, I would add some fresh ingredients like lettuce and tomato just to balance out the fattiness of the cheese but overall it was so tasty that I talked about it for the next hour as we drove to our final destination. Prices were a bit high but I'm only comparing to where I live. The street-sized tacos were $2.50-3.50 each. So good! read more

Came here on a recommendation from my supplier since the location was close to where I was at. Arrived around 2 pm for a late lunch and was very dissatisfied by the preparation of the carne asada burrito which was wrapped poorly and caused the ingredients to fall out towards the end of my meal. Whoever prepared the burrito did not drain the steak pieces that were in its own juices before placing it in the tortilla. Either they did not use a slotted spoon or if they did - just didn't care which resulted in my picture that I posted. I would have gone to Oscar's for Mexican on Harbor ( been several times when in Sac) but would have been going in the opposite direction. read more

I didn't give them 1 star because the ladies who work there are nice. Just not sure how they thought this was ok to serve as carne asada fries?

I'll stick to other Mexican food spots. read more

Pretty decent tacos. Love the cheese dip too. The salsa was spicy and delicious! Honorable mention for having cherry Pepsi in the fountain.

they're not open and haven't updated their hours and won't answer the phone. disappointing to see another location close

This place fell off MAJORLY!!! Recently went in for a Al Pastor/Adobada burrito asked for extra meat on it and when I took a bite into there was barely any meat in it which I paid extra for it!!! Called them regarding this and supposedly that was the correct portion for the extra meat, Chando's used to be really good a few years back, it seems like they don't care about the quality anymore, burritos should be called wet burritos with all the soggy veggies they put in it, the Al Pastor/Adobada meat isn't even cooked through vertical rotisserie anymore, if you keep this up you're really going to loose customers like me. For sure never going back. read more

The food is good, but their prices have gotten way WAY out of control. It's just not worth their prices. I imagine they're so high because they've expanded too quickly and owe their investors a return that requires them to charge way too much for what you get. There's a lot of taquerias in town to patronize. read more
