A 13-Year Love Affair with Sancho's Taqueria!I've been dining at Sancho's Taqueria in Palo Alto for the past 13 years, and it never ceases to amaze me how consistently fantastic this place is! When you step in, you're greeted by a fun, vibrant atmosphere that feels like home. The food? It's always super quick and delicious. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for a laid-back dinner, they've got you covered.A heads-up: they're cash only. But don't worry--they have an ATM on-site, and if you're more of a digital person, you can easily order through DoorDash for delivery or pick-up.Now, I have to give a special shout-out to Fernando, one of the fantastic people who keeps this place running smoothly. He's such a cool guy! He always knows my order by heart and genuinely cares about the customers. His huge heart and warm personality add that extra touch that makes Sancho's feel like more than just a restaurant.If you haven't been to Sancho's Taqueria yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. Trust me, 13 years later, I'm still returning for more!

No frills, quick order taqueria on poorly printed menuIn need of sustenance quickly and popped in for tacos, order came out within 10 minsGreat little salsa bar to sauce up your mealShrimp taco came loaded with shrimp and bell peppers, served on a flour taco. Carne asada taco was hefty as well with cilantro and onion on corn tortillaNot a Michelin taco, but hits the spot on a pinchDo note they're cash only, but they have an atm on site

Hole in the wall taqueria Fast service, made fresh. Their meat is tender - fish is light and crispy. Steak is juicy. Their prices are a bit high but the portions are huge. Like a single fish taco was plenty to satisfy that craving. And oh, it's cash only

Food was great and portions were a good size ordered online. Only one comment was a bit difficult to understand how to customize but put it in the note and they got it all right. Ordered the grilled chicken wet burrito and tacos

I've seen some reviews about this place falling out, so my disclaimer is I only go here for the fish tacos. This review is based on that. Palo Alto location:Parking can be tricky, inside ordering area is small so it can get crowded fast. Ambiance, none really. A few metal tables outside, very little seating inside and some back patio seating as well. It's good for a quick bite or for take out. Service is nothing to rave about. It's very basic, order what you want and pay. Food: again just about the fish tacos. Consistent. Flavor is there, pretty large portions, could use a little less slaw.

Ordered this burrito on Uber eats. I got both salsas and a super burrito with chicken. The burrito was flavorful and fresh. I wish the salsas were more spicy, but they were still delicious. I added my own hot sauce at home for more spice. It was a perfect size too for the price. Can't speak tot he service or ambiance inside but will definitely order this again when I'm craving a burrito

Nom nom nom CARNITAS TACOS.... man so very good! That may have been the best carnitas I've had in a long time, tender without being fatty, not too salty and spiced just right. So good.I was a little surprised at the price, since they were about twice as much as I expect to spend on street style tacos, but they were so worth it.Good selection of beverages.My dining companions had a chili verde burrito (rated Pretty good nicely spiced) and a Chicken Mole burrito (He was happy)We sat outside but the inside looked clean and comfy, with a small dining area, and really pretty tile.The food was ready pretty quick despite the lunch rush and they brought it outside to us which was very nice.

A few weeks ago, I went to Sanchos in Palo Alto with my wife as we often used to do. I ordered from the printed menu by the register.My order was rung up at higher prices than printed on the menu. When I pointed that out, the clerk seemed mad at ME rather than apologetic, saying only "prices have gone up".It's actually illegal to advertise one price and then charge a higher price.
