This review is for the Taqueria order window attached to the Sanchez Carniceria. I ordered the Al Pastor burrito and found it quite tasty and filling. I was not in love with the chips. I'm not sure exactly how to describe the texture, but they were a bit too crispy. Based on the burrito, I'm willing to give them another try. I'll just have to get my chips craving satisfied elsewhere. read more

Taqueria Sanchez - Tortilla chip - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of our favorite spots. If you want authentic Mexican tacos, this is the place. The service is incredible, mainly because it's family owned and they know the importance of good customer relationships. read more

After driving by for months I finally got to try Taqueria Sanchez. I ordered a ranchera wet burrito and was not disappointed. They gave me chips and salsa on the side. I was really happy to see "wet" burrito on the menu, I find it rare in LA. Flavor was delicious, service was polite and the wait was not too long. I will be going back again soon. read more

Listen, you pinheads... Look at the location BEFORE posting your reviews! This is NOT the restaurant location (Centinela), this is the Meat Market/Food WIndow (Inglewood). I mean, for crying out loud, there's a picture of the g-damn storefront... FIGURE IT OUT! That being said, I can honestly say that even after living across the street from this place for two or three years and eating here almost three or four times a week, I STILL love Taqueria Sanchez. Dunno why my last review suddenly perished, but this review should do for now. * Dirt cheap & healthy portions. * Cool soda selection (including TALL cans of soda) * Fantastic Mexican meat market inside * Friendly workers * FINALLY, salsa with both HEAT AND TASTE. Mmmm! SOPES. To die for. Mountains of meat (carnitas, in my case) placed on a corn disc smeared with beans. Topped with queso fresco, guacamole, onions, and shredded lettuce... Oh man, I'm drooling just thinking about it. This Taqueria/Carnaceria is as legit as it gets. Next time you drive by, check the Mexican to white-boy ratio... That'll say it all. Walk into a sushi bar and it's all whiteys and no Japanese? Leave. Walk into a Mexican restaurant and you don't see any Mexicans? Leave. Walk into a Korean joint and there's no Ko-Ko's? Run. Taqueria Sanchez / Sanchez Meat Market? No frills, no thrills, just damn good food at nearly unbeatable prices. HUGE THUMBS UP! read more

It was obvious I was in for an authentic experience when my big white self stood out as the only non-Latino. Giddy-up. This is gonna be good. I tried four different tacos for under $6: Lengua (tongue), Asada, Carnitas, and Steak Ranchero. The small soft tortillas were loaded with lots of meat and served "street-style". I liked the ranchero version most because it had the most flavor and was juiciest. The carnitas pork was great quality, but the taco needed more sauce or something. Overall, the tacos were bueno. Service was friendly and helpful. When I asked for grilled Jalapenos after ordering, they were prepared and given without hesitation and offered with a smile. The manager even told me like three times how to properly pronounce the word for grilled jalapeño, but I've already forgotten it. Stupid gringo. The Jalapenos were the best. To be honest, I was lost when I found Taqueria Sanchez. My friend had verbally given me directions to the spot and I just picked a different Mexican place than the one she described. Which is cool because now I still have another place to review. Parking is limited to street and a couple temporary spots behind the restaurant. If you like authentic and non-pretentious Mexican tacos, burritos, sopes, tortas, and more then Taqueria Sanchez seems like a valid local choice. read more

See all

I was craving horchata again, so my friend suggested we get food to go from TS. I was super hungry so I ordered: 2 carne asada tacos: $1.35 each The meat was good, flavorful and a tad fatty. You can separate the tortillas and divide the meat in half and make two tacos out of one taco! 1 pastor taco: $1.35 very mediocre, I would not order this again 1 shrimp taco $1.75 a little better than the pastor, but probably would not order it again even though they are generous with the shrimps 1carnitas taco: $1.35 was too full to even taste this one, but my friend said it was good 1 horchata: $2.25 large, watered down, but was good enough to satisfy my craving Bottom line: solid tacos. I was only able to eat 4 of them. I would come back for some carne asadas. We found a prime parking spot in the back lot. Lucky lucky! read more

Super good... super cheap! Great little taco stand near my office that I absolutely love. So far I have only tried 3 tacos and the tostada and everything has been really nice. The tostada today had tons of avocado and the carne asada was very tasty. Staff is very nice even to gringos like me! Yay. They also have a little market next door that sells a bunch of meats and groceries. read more

We recently visited this taqueria and the experience was HORRIBLE!!! First they got my sons order wrong then the tacos... where to begin the meat was flavorless and it looked old, the pastor was bland and really dry almost leathery, same thing with the asada and their buche was yellow! You would expect way better because they are also a carniceria! Oh and when I went to the cook to ask them if they would eat what they served me the cooks just argued with me and claimed the meat was recently cooked but obviously it wasn't! I've worked in restaurants for a long time and know a thing or two about food and what they served me was a disgrace to any food establishment! Do yourself a favor and skip this place! read more

Being Mexican myself, it's hard to find flavor that is as close to homestyle as possible but they do a really good job on the food here. They offer typical mexican dishes and the flavor is really good. They go beyond the usual carne asada and have other Mexican type of meat. I'm a huge fan of tortas and they prepare them very good here. Pretty cheap and a good place to go for a quick bite. Service is super friendly and fast. read more

Taqueria Sanchez - Tortas, Burritos and more - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ok, to start- come here for simply delightful sopes, tacos, and caldo de Res soup. Thanks to a shameless taco/sopes slut I know, I have now been here on at least 6 different occasions. Shockingly, the food and service are almost always excellent. Prices are very reasonable. The wait is moderate and those sopes.... oh. my. I love my meat and lots of it. At this point, I have tried my friend's sopes (carnitas btw) as well as various tacos. But I have tried to focus on the (occasionally elusive) weekend specialties like pozole and menudo. For those of you with hardcore tastes and cravings, you best be out there EARLY on Sun morning. Early today, I came with the intention of getting a small bowl of pozole to go, but I was immediately distracted by the tables in the parking lots set up by the rival Mexican restaurant place next door. The were just FINISHING their tamale and champurrado table for the morning. *GASP* I heard Champurrado and almost did a dance on the street. For those who have not been blessed with the experience of champurrado, allow me to enlighten you: "Champurrado is a chocolate-based atole, a warm and thick Mexican drink, based on masa (hominy flour), piloncillo, water or milk and occasionally containing cinnamon, anise seed and or vanilla bean (tasting somewhat like a thick masala chai)" (Thanks Wikipedia). It is definitely a warming, decadent drink, and if you fear calories, share the small size with a friend. My layman's description: champurrado is usually Mexican hot chocolate served with masa in the mix, either as chunks and bits of corn tortilla floating through out the drink, or in this case, the masa, chocolate, and spices were smoothly blended together- for a thick, rich drink full of flavor, for only $1 for a small cup. Wow. I was super happy! As for my pozole, I enjoyed the flavors but I liked the Caldo de Res better. Not enough pork and too much hominy in the pozole. I could also be happier with simple corn or flour tortillas to accompany the soup. But fear not, I will be back to try the menudo (also only Saturday and Sunday) soon enough and will update my review. So my strongest message to people interested in the food I described- GO EARLY! They warned us that with the holiday season upon us, the lines and chaos would only get worse. So get your tamales, champurrado, and tacos as early as you can. They are good stuff and won't last long! read more

Forget the taco stand..............everyone who can throw down a mean BBQ buys their meat from Sanchez Meat Market (attached). BE THE HERO AT YOUR NEXT BBQ Just order "Carne Asada Preparada"......marinated skirt steak. The going rate is $5.90 per pound. General rule of thumb 1 lb = 2 people. You will be a hero at your BBQ, the gringos will have to find out where you got your meat. All the fixings are sold here, cilantro, tortillas etc... For orders of over 10lbs....I recommend calling the day before. Holidays.....get there early or call in the order. read more

2 words: Carne Asada Details: I had a birthday party years ago & purchased the marinated carne asada (the day before the party)... everyone raved about it. Yesterday - I had another birthday party... Again, bought the meat in advance to let it marinate in the fridge extra long... Again - everyone loved it... It's worth driving out of your way to get. They also had avocados at $1 each, and though their produce section isn't the nicest looking, it's cheap and the ingredients are perfect for salsas. it made my party epic. read more

I pass by Taqueria Sanchez all the time and think: "That place must be good if the po-po are posted there grubbing all the time..." Thus, one of my girlfriends and I decided to stop by for lunch one day. Definitely authentic Mexican food, but I wasn't as thrilled as I thought I would be. Perhaps I just hyped it up too much in my own head. Nevertheless, I'm a fan of the dirt-cheap tacos! $1.35? Sold. It's like Taco Tuesday EVERYday! I got the carnitas and carne asada. Yum. My friend got the beef lengua burrito and liked it. We picked up our food from the window and ate standing up, using the ledge as a table. We fancy, huh? :) read more

Taqueria Sanchez is a popular taco destination for westsiders. Two locations less than a mile apart from each other serve up cheap tasty mexican food for the people. The Centinela location has an indoor seating area and a salsa bar while the Inglewood blvd location has a taco window to compliment the carniceria and mercado. I was at the Inglewood location buying some carne asada and decided to have a few tacos. I've heard Taqueria Sanchez described as the best taqueria on the westside but they'd have to go a long way to replace tacos por favor and Don Felix as my local taqueria of choice. I ordered asada, al pastor and shrimp tacos and by the time I was done paying for the carne asada and a lime jarritos inside the market my tacos were ready. The first thing you need to know is that the salsa roja may look harmless but it has some kick to it. So if you are one that likes a mild salsa I suggest asking for a verde. I like my salsa to make me sweat a little and reach for my lime jarritos so I poured the salsa liberally over my tacos. The asada is unique at Taqueria Sanchez in that it is baked not grilled or braised. The end result is toasty charred bits of beef with an extra beefy aftertaste. The first time I had the their asada I was put off by the method but it's grown on me and I quite enjoy it now. read more

We wanted to try this place because it had 4 stars but I should have known it would be a disappointment. At first, we accidentally walked into the store area. Seriously smelled like dog food or dog poop.. Or a mix of both. I think it was from the nasty meat that was left out there. We went back out and ordered carne asada tacos at the window. Seemed fresh since it took some time to cook, but when we took it home to eat... Wow it seriously tasted like it smelled. Tasted and smelled like old beef that had been left outside. Like literally dog food status, so disgusting we just threw the entire meal in the trash. Thank goodness... I bet this would have been food poisoning for sure. So gross how the hell did this place get 4 stars what the hell. read more

Easily the BEST carne asada tacos from an actual resto... the streets of LA food carts will definitely be competition. So delicious and at less than $2 a taco. These bad boys are FATTTT! You could easily take half of the stuffing out and it'd be the size you're use to be served. Carnitas is also good but I'm an asada girl. Their menu is pretty extensive so they'll be good for a Mex fix no matter what you're craving. Please don't think about eating your taco without their Guac salsa. It's this creamy guac sauce that's delicious with everything... by itself even! read more

3.5* out of 5 I'll round up to 4 stars. I ordered an al pastor burrito and 2 asada tacos cuz I'm a tub of lard. The carne asada a was really flavorful yet simple. They didn't overload the tacos with a ton of extra topping because the meat spoke for itself. The al pastor burrito (with everything) was surprisingly spicy, but still delicious with beans, rice and I'm not sure what else because I scarfed it down so quickly. The service was very fast. After I gave my ordered, I tried to browse through their tiny market, but it was packed with a line of customers so I went back outside. Within minutes my food was ready. The prices were reasonable and the employees were friendly so I'll be back next time to try their churrizo. read more

This place is right across the street from TacoMiendo and a whole lot better, I have been here several times just to take food to go since it is literally a hole in the wall connected to the Carniceria Sanchez (a small grocery/meat market). They have a great selection of burritos, tortas, and tacos all for a very cheap price. So far I have only tried the tortas (mmm yummy soft bread and lots of avocado) and the burritos al Pastor (spiced pork) that are very flavorful, yet simple and not so huge that you can't fit it into your mouth. They also have chicharrone, lengua, and cabeza for the more adventurous... Great food on the go, friendly staff who don't make judgments when you order something that you may or may not be able to handle, and cheap prices! read more

Word to the wise .... order the taquitos!!! They are amazing and the ingredients are very authentic. Yes, I know that taquitos are an American invention of sorts , but I speak Spanglish and the food at Sanchez is bomb. My abuelitos (grandparents) approve!!! And so does this Los Angelina. (Btw I also love their nachos , as pictured below) read more

Taqueria Sanchez - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

2 stars to get the reviews to a REALISTIC level based on the food quality. 4 or 5 star reviews smell of ignorance about tacos or even basic food quality. this is authentic and cheap, but not the best. disturbingly average...boring... disappointed at the carne asada, meat quality is unacceptably inconsistent. fish tacos are uninspired. shrimp tacos are OK. does not stack up to eastern LA taco joints. don't get distracted by the old newspaper review posted on the wall. just average, and need to set the yelp rating straight. we are trying to make this site useful and real aren't we?! read more

I had the breakfast burrito with ham and it was not only huge, but it was delicious! and it was only 5 bucks! It's awesome! You can go up to the window and order and you can also go inside where they have items to buy such as meat, cheese and drinks and additional mexican items that you'd find at a mexican meat market. Will definitely be back. read more

I did a yelp search for the best Carne Asada for BBQ'ing and this place was where I chose to go & they lived up to the hype. Everyone loved both the chicken & the carne asada I bought for my party. The staff at the Carniceria was very friendly & helpful. And a customer in line even raved about it when I told him it was my first time. read more

The meat counter is filled with some excellent cuts of chicken, pork and steak. As some of the yelpers mentioned if you want a good shortcut to excellent tacos the marinated asada is a good place to start. Carne asada comes packed in foil with light onions and cilantro from the marinade. My guess is the marinade is orange juice light garlic and lime with a nice dry rub. The asada after you sear it has a great flavor and it is really addictive once you start chopping it up I always eat a few chunks. It is a quick and incredible meal just grab a pound of asada and grill or blast it in a skillet. The flavors are amazing and your friends and family will love you for making it. There is a small section of produce in the back with a good variety of dried chiles to choose from on an opposite rack. You can find just about any dried spices you need for any dish. There is also an excellent aisle of canned peppers and other hard to find gourmet items. The staff at this market is so nice and they are really fast at cranking out your order. Even if there is a line there are always people to help you with anything. What a gem this is for Mar Vista, we are so lucky to have this market. read more

Here's the deal, Taqueria Sanchez. I wanted to like you. I really did. You are one of the closest Mexican eateries to my work, and one of the few breakfast burrito providers. Your little arches and stone sitting area make me happy. I gave you a chance. Well, a few chances. I tried your burritos/tacos, and decided you were decent, but nothing special. Then I was like, you know what? Maybe I misjudged you. Maybe, just maybe, I should entrust you with breakfast burrito duties. I should've known there would be a problem when you asked me if I wanted rice and beans in my breakfast burrito. I just threw away the last half of my bb. I never do that. I'm sorry, you're just not right for me. Hopefully we can be friends sometime in the future. read more

Taqueria Sanchez is 1/4th of the Sanchez Empire around Centinela (Casa, Meat Market, 2 taquerias), Taqueria Sanchez is the best taqueria I've found in the Mar Vista area. Not quite notable enough to recommend, however. The carne asada was by far the best taco I had. Meat was top quality and flavor was all there. Carnitas & Chicken were both nothing to write home about. Solid tacos, but on the dry side and light on flavor. But see for yourself as definitely worth trying. Tacos took forever so perhaps hit the location on Centinela instead as you won't have to compete with the Meat Market traffic. read more

This currently has my top spot on the westside for tacos. Chorizo is incredible, though greasy (so be prepared for overload). Carnitas and asada are great, and the pescado will make you wonder how Wahoo's stays in business. Did I mention it is dirt cheap? Oh, and do yourself a favor: go inside the store. It's one of the best carnecerias I've been to anywhere, and they have tons of great stuff. Try the chicharron. read more

Torta Called I answered the call with a Carne Asada Torta. I remember it being better :( read more

This is my go to spot if I need tacos and don't feel like driving to far. I've never been disappointed, and they come straight with a fully stocked salsa bar. On top of that, they include chips when you order your tacos. another positive is they have two locations, both within a block from each other, with one of them having a full on carneceria and mini super with produce and all the mexican goodness you would need in your pantry. read more

Ordered 5 carne asada tacos with sauce on the side . The meat was terrible and lacked flavor , tortillas were stale . Tacos had hardly any onion or cilantro . Def won't be coming back here !!! read more

This place was good not great. The tacos were good and the carnitas burrito was alright. I'd go back if I was in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Taqueria Sanchez - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My review is based on the market, and the Carne (make sure you get marinated) to go. The window is not so bien.... It is seriously the best damn carne this side of the border. It is so thin it cooks up on the grill in like 5 min (Make sure you dont overcook it, then it gets tough, especially you medium,medium-rare fans just like 4 minutes and your set!) read more

this review pertains to the carne asada available at the butcher shop. I am a newby to the carniceria world but I do have to give props to Taqueria Sanchez. My first experience was at the mexican supermarket further down Inglewood - Top Valu I think. and it wasn't anything to sneeze at (but their produce prices are pretty damn good) so I was a bit wary of trying again, but you got to get back up on the horse as the saying goes. anyways... first time i went there i was a bit worried just cause of the overpowering smell in the place. it had a rich slaughterhouse style aroma but i soldiered on. I ordered a half pound of carne asada and the nice guy behind the counter asked me if i wanted it seasoned - and of course i said yes. i then see him proceed to squirt some liquid, shake some seasoning and then lay in some strings of yellow/white onions on the meat then its wrapped up in foil then clear wrap and i was on my way for about $3.50. cooked on the pan at home and i got to say not too shabby at all - so a month or two passes and am making some fresh salsa and thought some nice carne asada nachos would be a nice combo so i return to taqueria sanchez. This time no smell (beyond a standard butcher shop) still get the seasoning which i discover is lemon juice and some off the rack seasoning you yourself can buy at the store and other mexican markets and the onions. still pretty happy with it and look forward to the chance to try it out on an actual grill (after this winter passes). just to avoid having to write another review - tried the taqueria sanchez on centinela and would give it 3 stars for the tacos (asada and al pastor) both totally adequate/acceptable or in yelp speak A-OK read more

Parking was a pain. These tacos are OK, nothing special, at least the day that I went there was nothing special about them. I had the carne asada and the fried pork soft tacos. Maybe I'm a little spoiled. There are so many great taco spots in the valley. I might go back though. read more

Authentic, and pretty tasty. Not the best Mexican food I've ever had, nor the best in LA, but darn good enough. The nachos were outstanding and huge portioned. The tacos were enjoyable. All in all, pretty good and would go back. Definitely not going next door... Parking lot attendant is a %$#@!. read more

I love this place. It's a very basic walk-up window that always has day laborers hanging around. The food is cheap, incredibly tasty, and there's a full Mexican deli inside if you need anything else. The one thing is they call the numbers for your orders in Spanish, so keep an eye out if you're an ultra Gringo. read more

Their carne asada tastes like they took some beef and cooked it with seasoning salt only. Also I always feel uncomfortable coming because they attract customers who are leery and gross. There are 3 other places nearby that make good asada and deserve my business more so I go to them instead. read more

This place really loads up their tacos!!! The food came with chips and they gave us free drinks as well. I thought the food was really delicious as well. read more

Wet burrito is nasty as hell don't order that here go next door and order a fiesta burrito much better then this nasty burrito

Three times they fucked up on my order the cook dose not no the difference from chicarron and berria asked if they had chicarron yes so I order 3 get home and I got 3 berria no more wish I could give minus stars read more

No frills here...walk up, eat standing and get going. Good asasa tacos but a bit on the salty side. The carnitas was good too. The salsa had the perfect kick without being too spicy. Can't beat $1.25 for an excellent taco. read more
