    Great place with fun front patio. Favorite place for breakfast quesadilla and breakfast taco. Can be crowded at times. Worth the wait.

    For a solid meal that is consistently good, Sancho's Tacos is the place. It's a casual spot in the great surf town of San Clemente. Enjoy the relaxed vibe with great artwork and good food!

    Excellent tacos and burritos with a friendly So Cal vibe. Highly recommend to experience great food and local beach ambiance. Everything we tried was delicious, and great selection of soft and alcoholic drinks.

    Breakfast burritos are even better at the beach

    Never disappoints, always delicious, packed with flavor in each bite, worth my buck and good sized portioned breakfast chorizo burritos and a carnitas burrito. Helpful customer service, and cool ambiance. We have eaten several times at the HB location, always fabulous!

    New bar!

    Here again for the Sawed Off Breakfast Burrito with sausage. Always friendly staff taking your order. They added a full bar which takes up a lot of room, but will be fun to order and sit outside. The Wife and I will have to try it some time. Adds to the funky vibe that is always here. Sawed Off burrito with sausage does not disappoint. Eggs, sausage,potatoes and cheese. All wrapped in a tortilla that is nicely grilled. That last point is my requirement for a top notch breakfast burrito. The tortilla must be grilled. This version of the SOBB was a bit greasy and I have not experienced that before. Little wipe of a napkin and we were fine. As always, this is a significant size burrito and gives me two breakfasts! Go! Eat Well!! HAVE FUN!!!

    Who needs love when you have 5150 sauce??? That stuff is addictive. Sancho's was an amazing spot for me in SC. A beautiful patio that is always jumping with a crazy eclectic interior. It's biker meets alice in wonderland, idk lol. In any case, THEIR TORTILLAS ARE TRANSLUCENT, a must for any good burrito. The only gripe i had was there was not a ton of chicken, and the chicken was awesome! Cmon, gimme my protein haha. Workers were awesome, vibes were awesome, and 5150 is still being dreamt of. As a matter of fact I may order some online right now!

    The new and improved Sancho's is here! Full bar, new tables, Same happening beach vibes. I gave a 4 star because I don't like that it seems most items on menu went up about $1 since the remodel. I would have been ok with my $2.50 taco Tuesday deal but now it's $3.50. Still a great veggie taco like absolutely loaded and delicious but I would prefer it be sautéed with less oil on it though. Will need o remember next time around to request that. Nice seeing the same friendly faces.

    Exited the freeway to find something quick to eat and decided to give this taco spot a try. So glad we did! We ordered the OG (beef tritip) the Yardbird (chicken breast) and the grilled fish taco. Everything was delicious. Their Chubbie sauce is slightly sweet which offers a different flavor and makes it taste that much more interesting. Prices for the ala carts tacos range from $6-9. There was a young man working behind the counter and running food orders and he was awesome.

    Not your typical breakfast burrito place. This burrito is da-BOMB! So good! Piping hot with melted cheese inside & outside toasty.

    Complimentary Churros, thanks Mario!

    Walked in on the only day of the year it rains in SoCal, and since most of their seating is outside we were worried we couldn't eat here. The guy at the bar was kind enough to recommend some picks, which were fantastic. We had the Surf n Turf Burrito, Chicken Quesadillas, CaliGuey Burrito and a chicken taco. The burritos and quesadillas were a little too salty, but the flavors were great!

    Sanchos Tacos is a chain that has several locations across Orange County. They do have a couple decent dishes. The burritos and tacos usually come out hot and ready to eat. Give it a shot if you're in the area. Cheers!

    Went in craving some good tacos, wasn't prepared to have my mind blown. The staff are super helpful and quick with the orders, and the decorations are insane.

First, the obvious: South of Nick's does upscale Mexican food extremely well. Great flavors, great atmosphere, and plenty of menu choices that can completely destroy any good intentions you had when you walked in. BUT--the Filet & Chopped Salad deserves some attention. This thing was awesome. The filet was cooked perfectly, the salad was incredibly flavorful, and somehow I finished dinner feeling like a million bucks instead of needing to be transported to my car on a furniture dolly. The key was showing a little restraint with the chips and salsa--which, at South of Nick's, requires considerable discipline. Normally after a great Mexican dinner, I'm loosening the belt and questioning several decisions I made over the previous 90 minutes. Not this time. Great steak, great salad, tons of flavor, and I walked out feeling surprisingly light. Who knew you could go out for Mexican food, eat an amazing meal, and leave feeling **healthier than when you arrived?** I'm as confused as anyone.

    Asada Cantina + Kitchen in San Clemente was exactly what we needed after a long day at a soccer…read moretournament, and I was not expecting the food to be THIS good. You know when you're starving after being out all day and almost anything sounds good? This wasn't one of those situations where the food just tasted good because we were hungry. Everything that came to the table was legitimately impressive. We started with the chips and salsa, and immediately knew we were in for a good meal. The chips were fresh and crispy, and the different salsas each had their own flavor instead of just tasting like different levels of heat. The creamy green one was especially good. We kept going back to it. The Birria Quesadilla was ridiculous. The tortilla had that perfect golden crisp on the outside, plenty of melted cheese, and the birria inside was tender, juicy, and actually flavorful. Dip it into the consommé and it takes it to another level. Add a little guacamole and pico and you get the perfect combination of crispy, cheesy, rich, fresh, and savory all in one bite. We also had the Carne Asada and this is where I really have a hard time describing how good the food was. The texture, preparation, and flavor of the meat were all on point. It had a beautiful char on the outside while still being tender and juicy inside. Nothing tasted overly seasoned or covered up. You could actually taste the quality and preparation of the meat. Even the rice, beans, pico, guacamole, and bacon wrapped jalapeño on the plate felt like they belonged there instead of being random sides thrown on to fill the plate. The portions were generous too. This is the kind of Mexican food where you can tell someone actually cares about how each component is prepared. There are different textures throughout the meal, crispy tortillas, tender meat, creamy guacamole, fresh pico, rich beans, and everything works together. The restaurant itself has a great San Clemente feel. It's lively and casual, but still nice enough that you could come here for more than just a quick meal. We came in after a soccer tournament and felt completely comfortable, but I could just as easily see coming back for brunch, dinner, or drinks. And after looking through the menu, there are already several things I want to come back and try. The menu goes way beyond the typical tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. Filet mignon tacos, short rib, blackened shrimp, seafood, birria noodles, bowls, burgers, brunch, there is A LOT happening here. What impressed me most was how well the food was actually executed. Sometimes restaurants with huge menus do a little bit of everything but nothing particularly well. That wasn't our experience at Asada. We came in tired and hungry after a soccer tournament and left talking about the food. Asada Cantina + Kitchen is absolutely going on our San Clemente list. The texture, preparation, and taste of the food are honestly hard to put into words. You just need to try it.

Great amount of flavor. Didn't require any salsa or anything to help enhance it. Juicy and just well-made. Their chips were fresh out of the oven or at least tasted like it still warm.

The burrito was hefty, I could only finish half and saved the rest for next day for lunch. The meat were juicy, not dry and full of flavors. Comes with rice, beans and pico de gallo. I get a bag of cheese from Ralphs to do the modification of having a crispy cheese crust and that made the burrito into a 9.2 out of 10. (see pic) Overall, I'm glad this place isn't cash only anymore and the food is much better than before. Definately coming back when I'm craving a burrito or carne asada fries. (Yes, I know there are way better ones in Buena Park and Santa Ana but I don't live near there nor want to be stuck in traffic again) This place will do for now.
