Sancho's Tacos

I've been to HB quite a few times and missed this gem. The food was amazing. I ordered 2 OG's (beef tri-tip) and 1 Federale (carnitas). They were juicy and flavorful but the Federale really spoke to me. The Chubby Sauce is good but a bit too sweet for me so next time I will ask for no sauce. The tortilla chips were exquisite. Service was fast and friendly. They guys working behind the counter were awesome and my order was finished almost faster than paying for my order. If you like Cholo and Lowrider culture this is your place. Brightly colored hand painted murals on the walls, and a crazy clown in the corner. What more could you ask for? I will definitely be going back when I'm in HB again. Cheers

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!

Damn this location has really perfected their establishment. The line was out the door when I arrived which is a good sign. I had ample time to review the menu to know exactly what I wanted by the time I reached the register. I ordered 3 tacos and the surf and turf was my favorite, but they were all delicious. As someone with meat aversions I appreciated that the steak was cut up small and there were no weird rubbery chunks. All the meat was flavorful, fresh and juicy. Bravo to the cooks here! I ordered with my dog in tow and I sat out on the patio and had no issues.

We always love visiting Sancho's. We get the Tri-Tip Nachos and grilled shrimp tacos with the chips and salsa. It is plenty of food and delicious. We love to eat outside and look at the waves but there is inside seating available.

SANCHO's Tacos in Huntington Beach off PCH is fantastic--I was absolutely wowed! I live in Santa Monica and visit Huntington Beach often, so I've seen this corner many times. However, I was really surprised by the charming little plaza they've created, which apparently underwent a remodel back in 2013. The plaza includes Angry Owls Coffee and Açai, 602, and SANCHO's Tacos. The whole area has a vibrant California vibe that I loved.SANCHO's Tacos completely impressed me. The atmosphere is a perfect mix of California cholo and surf-beach culture. They've incorporated unique touches like skateboards in the bathroom, Red Bull skater graphics, and animated cholo-style artwork. It's unmistakably California, and it feels authentic and fun.The food was incredible. I tried three tacos--the OG Taco, the Chicken Taco, and the Carnitas--and every bite was fresh and delicious. The guacamole was outstanding, with a perfect balance of flavor and seasoning. The chips, made fresh in-house, were warm, thick (but not jawbreakers), and perfectly salted. They were absolute perfection. The green salsa, which I'd describe as mild-to-medium, was also a highlight--it had such a flavorful kick without being overwhelming.The customer service stood out as well. When I arrived, the cashier greeted me warmly and helped me navigate the menu, sharing her personal recommendations. She suggested the Federal Burrito for next time, which I'll definitely try--I was too full this time around!The ambience was fantastic: the coastal breeze blowing through, the intoxicating smell of grilled meat wafting in the air, and a great balance of indoor and outdoor seating. Plus, there's parking! On a Saturday night, that's almost unheard of, so it's a huge bonus.I highly recommend SANCHO's Tacos. Don't walk--run! Your taste buds will thank you.

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.

My friend and I came on a Tuesday morning and ordered at 11am, the hour when you can order both breakfast and lunch. He ordered a breakfast burrito along with some tacos and I ordered the Caliguey, which was $16. My burrito was quite flavorful, although a tad too salty, and honestly tiny for its price. If you've had burritos around SoCal, the ones here are delicious but definitely don't expect authenticity or value. I would come back and give it another try though!

I was not expecting to like this spot that much but after trying one burrito I wanted another one. It was my last day in southern Cali and I wanted to order one just to take it home. Great spot and l'd definitely come here again.

The food was OK not as great as I thought it would be. The decor is rad though!! The staff was awesome and the overall ambience was outstanding. Too bad the food wasn't that great.

All of this for just $16! The tacos are huge (the pictures don't do them justice). I tried the shrimp, fish, and beef tacos, and they were all fantastic! I'm so glad I stopped by while visiting OC.The staff, especially the cashier, were incredibly friendly and kind. I arrived pretty late, about half an hour before closing, and was still trying to figure out the menu. Instead of rushing me, the staff patiently offered recommendations, which I really appreciated.Great food and amazing service--I'll definitely be back!
