Sanchos

As a 15 year plus downtown resident, this is our backyard. With 30 plus years in the hospitality field (now retired) I feel I can bring you real insight into our locations. The good, the bad and the ugly. If we run across a serious issue, I will always go directly to management and not post it. I truly believe you always must give management an opportunity to correct a serious issue. If not corrected and or just ignored, then I feel it is correct to inform the public - professionally. No establishment is perfect. I will bring to you smaller hiccups we may have come across. I will rarely comment on the taste of food - being bad, as that is a very personal thing. My wife and I disagree on taste of food and wine, no one is wrong or right. Now if the food is on fire, burned, under/overcooked to our requests, that would be mentioned.My favorite thing about our visit to SANCHOS was their hospitality. Sometimes things do not turn out as you think (the customers end). We had a scheduled event planned at SANCHOS, and some of the RSVPs didn't show up. Nothing changed at all from our server, he was simply amazing. Rearranged the tables to make it more suitable for us. And we received more one-on-one attention and interaction with him - he was amazing. Then the food and drinks. To say a solid happy hour menu for both drinks and food is an understatement. It is worth the Uber if you live downtown SATX! Had some amazing apps and drinks! The price point you can't beat! Live music every Thursday, SANCHOS has a real neighborhood feel to it, but has a downtown view. We will set up another Thirsty Thursdays event in the spring. PS on the happy hour bites - try the croquetas de Camaron - "take a cold shower good"! See you soon, just Cindi and I!

4/5 Food5/5 Service5/5 AmbianceA great joint to bring friends on a Saturday and enjoy some live music. Our friends from the area mentioned we should try this place out so we obliged...We order chips and queso, along with their 3 count taco plate of bisteq. The chips and queso were okay, the queso was extremely thick and a little difficult to eat but the taste was yummy. The tacos were delicious and they came with rice and beans. They also make their own corn tortillas for the tacos which I appreciated bc they made everything about the tacos that much better!Their margaritas were "okay" as well, more sour mix and you can't really taste even a drop of tequila so I wasn't overly impressed.I should note that everything was a bit spicy, there are chopped jalapeños in almost everything so if you are a weenie about spice (like my wife) you will probably not do well with the spicy foods here but as mentioned the flavors are great.We were also delighted with a live band that was awesome and brought back some old tune rock n roll to our taco night.We will be back!

Josh Baca and Los Tex Maniacs are awesome! Two Friends and my husband and I enjoyed their amazing music last Wednesday night. We're from out of town looking for Tex-mex music and we were lucky, Josh plays that accordion so great, the evening was perfect. The carnitas tacos plate was tasty. Decay was our server and he was accommodating and welcoming. He made us feel at home with the friendly & welcoming hospitality. The margaritas are delicious & ambience made for a great evening.

New fave! Perfect little dive bar with amazing prices and great drinks. I haven't tried the food yet, but it all sounds delicious with lots of vegetarian options! Indoor and outdoor seating, good music - live music, too! Plenty of parking and seating, friendly staff and a bar kitty

We will absolutely come here again, and again, and again. WOW. I love it all. The vibe. The decor. The music. The FOOD. I didn't have a drink, but I'm more than confident the drinks are fire too! I am so glad we came here, and I can't wait to come back again!We came here and got 2 lunch specials and 1 taco plate with a regular order of nachos. I'm sitting in the car right now far too full, but I'll take it! Carnitas nachos were GREAT! No fake cheese here! Great refried beans on top of perfect tostada chips, real cheese, fresh pico de gallo, and the pickled onions. The carnitas were crispy and not too greasy, and I could honestly eat them all day. Some of my favorite nachos ever. I got the Pollo Adobado tacos, and you are just as surprised as I am to say that I very much so enjoyed their chicken tacos. The chicken was tender, it had actual flavor, and the TORTILLAS WERE MAGIC. Perfect thickness to hold everything in the taco, perfect size, light, fluffy (yes, fluffy), and just so well done. The kicker was the pork belly taco though. Y'all. Don't sleep on the pork belly tacos. Perfection. Wouldn't change a thing. Could not change a thing. Every part of that taco was perfectly executed. I couldn't eat more than 3, but the crisp exterior and tender meat bursting with flavor had me on piggy cloud nine. Unreal good. I really can't wait to come back. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options, friendly staff, great food, and lots of fun themed nights and weekends brunch to keep the masses happy!

Another pre-pandemic favorite that didn't skip a beat; it had been ages since our last visit, so sadly we've been missing out. We had showed up to join some friends for the live music and some drinks, so the amazing meal was a real treat. The homemade rice, beans, and tortillas proved they still serve the best quality food at reasonable prices. The waitstaff was friendly, kept us well hydrated, and served us quickly. We sat in the outdoor area that night which was well shaded, breezy, and clean-ish. We will definitely return this cantina to our monthly rotation.

Was in the area late at night and this was one of the only places open for tacos. It looks like a great place to drink and listen to music. Had I known this, we probably would've made plans to come here sooner, but nonetheless...I've had better at other places in the city. Prices weren't bad and the tacos were okay.

Great constumer service from Misty!!!!And such a great vibe!!Tacos and Billillo made from scratch!!!

This place deserves 5 stars!! Food and margaritas were great!! Best side beans I've ever had!!

Danielle was amazing here at SANCHOS!! The food was amazing and the drinks she made were to die for. For her working by herself she made the experience super awesome. Come by and show her some love!
