    Chicken Tacos
    Will B.

    It has been a few years since we have been to Huntington Beach. This was one of our go to places for great food at an affordable price. We stopped in today for Taco Tuesday. Had a couple of the OG Tacos and a couple of Chicken Tacos. Can't forget the chips and salsa. It was just like we remembered,, fantastic. Great place for a casual dinner. From taking the order to the food coming out, service was excellent. Thanks, we will be back tomorrow for dinner again.

    ...was passing by on my way home and stopped in because this place was referred to me recently by a friend. There's construction going on, so I couldn't find it right away and in addition, the sign saying SANCHO'S TACOS is written in a font that is not very clear IMO. The parking lot is small and it backs up to an alley, so I literally went around the block 4 times to realize I was at the right place. If that hadn't happened, I wouldn't have arrived at 12:06, AFTER the breakfast burrito was no longer offered, but the nice kid at the counter said he'd ask if they could squeeze me in since it just ended at noon. I asked for the burrito to be cut and wrapped in half cuz I could never eat a whole one. There are nice variety of salsa choices. I picked the spicy chipotle. It was spicy, but good! Overall, the burrito was good. A little "moist" for me (without the sauce) not sure why. The potatoes are always a reason to complain, but Sancho's cuts them in small pieces and mixes them with your meat of choice so, it's actually a good mouthful of flavors, not just potatoes. I'm into a convenient place to go in and out because I have a bit of a health issue/walking right now, so I'm not sure I'll be back cuz it's not really easy for me to park and walk in.... but, my problem, not yours. If I were to dine in, it was a beautiful day to eat on their outside patio and enjoy the beach atmosphere....

    Got a quick bite here for lunch and it was pretty good! I will say the salsa was not my favorite. In my opinion it had no flavor and no spice to it. Very bland. The rice and beans were cooked to perfection. The OG Angus tri-tip taco was chunky and flavorful. Kinda dry but still good. The carnitas taco's were actually very juicy and soft. Very flavorful! They give a lot of protein in the taco's which I loved. The salsa again probably just my preference I didn't like the flavor of it but overall this was good! They have a nice outside seating area with a cool breeze.

    Sorry... we were hungry... but it looked delicious.

    We have not been in the area for a while and we were excited to get by Sancho's for some tacos. How is it possible that it got even better? We love absolutely everything we eat here. They have grown but the food is still consistently delicious! Thanks Sancho's, until next time.

    Carnitas Burrito

    Came to Sancho's tacos in HB to try out a new taco place. When we arrived, there was one family sitting outside and the inside was empty. The workers were very pleasant and welcoming, and were not pushy in any way when we were taking our time reading through the menu on all of the screens. I did notice that the pricing for this place was rather steep and after reading the bio of the owner and him talking about hard economic times I can tell that he means Hard economic times for him and not for the actual customer paying five dollars for a small side of guacamole - which is a little steep! He also stated that he takes pride in his tortilla chips however they were warm and crunchy until you got to the middle of the chip, then it was like I was chewing rubber in my mouth. We tried the tri tip burrito and one Carnita burrito. We asked that both burritos have no onions and no cheese. However, one of the burritos ended up still having cheese in it. Good thing I didn't have an allergy. The Carnitas was good however I wish it was a little bit more braised, and the tri-tip was good as well. These tasted like a backyard burrito made at home however, for the price I paid it would've been cheaper to just make it at home for a family reunion lol. As stated, I got one tri-tip burrito, one carnitas burrito, an order of chips and salsa and the side of guacamole all for the grand total of $60 that literally blew my mind!!! I just went to a taco stand and paid $60!!!! I would've been better off going down the street to Tacos Los Cholos where I would've got more food for less money. Would I come back here? Sure... if I was in the area already and there were lines out the door everywhere else. I think the pricing here left a bad taste in my mouth. They are either targeted at tourist or the owner really isn't concerned about these "economic" hard times.

    Beer Battered fish taco and OG beef taco
    America L.

    Taco time yelpers !! I ordered the fish bartered taco and the OG taco ( beef ) and my dude got the chicken burrito. Food was just meh . The fish taco I liked, it was freshly fried and had a nice crunch. The beef taco was just okay. My dude rated the burrito just mid . Service was great and friendly . The ambiance .... There was music and there was plenty of seating. I didn't like that the back door was open and literally next to the dumpster. :( The place needs a bit of TLC . Overall I'd come back for the fish taco. Prices were okay .

    I got Sancho's on Uber Eats back in 2020, remembered loving it, saw the sign walking by, and had to go in. We got the shrimp burrito and 2 flounder pounders. They are stuffffed. So much filling in both of them. The tacos do fall apart which suck, but delicious nonetheless. Can't wait to go back to try more as we were just grabbing a small lunch. Service is okay. Just a countertop set up, people didn't talk to us other than for the order. No big deal in that type of setup.

    How superduper sad the best location for Sancho's tacos in Long Beach is closed and this location in Huntington Beach has never been comparable not even AFTER the other locations been shut down- meaning I'll probably never have Sancho Tacos again! Whomp whomp whomp! I wrote a review for the good many years ago for the LB location so if you need food details, that's the review to checkout, again... not the same quality at this location. This location is worn out, and being near the beach is no excuse! The chairs and tables are ran through the fans have webs for days, my skrimp tacos were served tasting "off", & a small piece of meat from the grill, almost made us throw up! Yeah, it's a no go. Sadly, everytime I attempt to make peace with this location I live to regret it!

    Awesome taco spot! They have the best fried fish taco. They are located right off the beach, you literally just cross the street and you're on the sand. Great place to get a bite and have a nice view of the water or take your food and go for a walk on the beach. Prices are a bit up there for a taco spot, but probably because the rent here is high since they're on the beach. Chips are amazing, they're so fresh and crunchy. Took a star away though because the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting - there's never any soap and it's just one small stall that smells awful and is so dirty. I feel more dirty leaving the bathroom than when I went in! And the bathroom is typically a good indicator of the restaurant's hygiene so that is concerning.

    Surf & turf and fish tacos. Yummy!
    Josie T.

    Great job Mr. Sancho! Our go-to tacos are the surf & turf plus the fish flounder. It was yummy with some crunchy nachos with guacamole and salsa! Perfect to end the day from the beach. Outside patio looking out to the sunset works. See you again for some nachos, Mr Sancho!

    Shrimp & Fried Fish Taco -

    We have been going to the Newport Sanchos since at least 2015 & this weekend was the first time going to the original location in HB. The HB location is larger & close to the beach on PCH. There is a small lot to park in, but if the lot is full there is underground parking across the street as well. You do have to pay for parking in the underground lot. Customer service was great, our orders came out accurate & hot. The food was good per usual. The actual restaurant itself is the reason I am not sure I will be back to this location. As much as I understand this location is the OG, it's really run down & kind of gross to be honest. Some of the seating was falling apart & there was Raid sitting out near the booths (gross). The door for the walk in area for their refrigerated items was completely open. The restroom for the customers was super run down as well. As much as I love Sanchos, this location needs some TLC. I didn't feel comfortable dining there because everything was dirty & dingy.

    This is a cool little Mexican takeout spot right at the north end of Huntington Beach. Sometimes there's a few people in line at the lunch rush but otherwise service is prompt. I've actually been here a few times as it is definitely one of my favorite spots to grab food here. The fish tacos are definitely one of my go to. They're the perfect size for a hungry person to eat too and be filled up and they have a nice tangy sauce they put on them. Then I'm a classic bean and cheese burrito guy. I had the chicken in to theirs and that creates a filling meal and the price is not bad at all. My favorite thing here is definitely the sawed off breakfast burrito, I add chicken in it as well and it's more than enough food for me and since they cut it in half it's perfect for sharing with someone before going to the beach. I would definitely say that this is my favorite breakfast burrito in Huntington Beach.

    Sancho's Tacos Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Sancho's Tacos

    Do they serve beer or wine?

    No alcohol available but they do have some Mexican flavored drinks and Coca Cola in glass bottles which hit the spot!

    Is Sancho's temporarily closed? I called this morning to place an order and there wasn't a voicemail or answer? (UPDATE: This has been clarified by the answers below...their hours here state 8am open when it has shifted to 10am! Yay!)

    Depends on what time you called , Monday through Thursday they don't open until 10 , Friday though Sunday they are open at 8 and close at 9pm but no sancho's tacos is opened for business it could have been really busy when you called.

    How long is breakfast served?

    It looks like all day, I checked their menu online, and there is no time mentioned.

    Is there a taco tuesday?

    Yes

    Is the vegetarian burrito vegan or just vegetarian?

    It is neither. We do not have a set vegetarian burrito. We have a flaco burrito which people refer to as vegetarian, but our beans and rice contain meat products such as pork and chicken broth. Some of our vegetarian options include the Flaco Tacos… Read more

Our server was this really nice Asian girl/lady. I wish I got her name, because she was so on top of it. Immediately she asked if it was our first time and I said it was mine. She suggested a few of the things she likes that were on the menu and I found that super helpful and went with the birria quesitacos and the house margarita that I had when I walked in. We were there to catch up on 3 weeks worth of stuff and our server read the room and was so polite when checking in on us. The food was great and the tortillas were what really stood out to me. I hadn't had tortillas this good since dining at Pour Vida. I ate one taco and some beans and then for dessert I had the Churros Royale and they were everything you would want in a churro dessert. I would come back here again and try to make it to their happy hour. We arrived just as it was ending around 7 pm. Our server really made our experience excellent and the complimentary margarita while we were waiting was an nice touch. I love when I go somewhere and they have complimentary drinks in a champagne flute ready to go. I experienced this while on vacation recently at a few places and this is the first time I've gone to a restaurant in California that does this. The experience here is top notch.

The first time I came here I loved the view, the vibes, and the insane bean and cheese burrito. The second time was after a surf, so it hit extra hard. The third time my family and I were all hungry and we tried the tacos primed up, with cheese & grilled chili pepper and wow, so bomb! The most recent trip we had our orders locked in and everything tasted amazing. The staff is always so friendly, even for being very young, they go out of their way to make sure you are well taken care of. All the the meats are cooked perfectly, This location has a great crew that delivers excellent food & warm customer service. Order the queso tacos, try different meats, and please order the bean & cheese burrito.
