    Carne Tampiqueña
    Andrea Y.

    Casa Sanchez made my in-laws' 60th and 65th birthday celebration absolutely unforgettable! We had a party of 19, and from the moment the first guests arrived around 5:20 PM until everyone trickled in by 5:45 PM, the staff was incredibly attentive, organized, and accommodating. Our table was ready early with chips, fresh salsa (which was so good!), and waters waiting for us, and they immediately checked if we wanted any other drinks. My regular mango margarita was refreshing and perfect for the hot weather. I ordered the ribeye steak and appreciated that they allowed me to substitute the vegetables for rice, while still serving it with creamy mashed potatoes. The steak was tender, flavorful, and had a delicious marinade that really stood out. They timed the entrées perfectly so we could enjoy dinner during the 6:30 PM mariachi show, which was lively, talented, and so much fun. I loved that they included a Happy Birthday segment for everyone celebrating, making the evening feel extra special. The $2.50 per person cake-cutting fee was very reasonable, and overall the entire experience--from the food and service to the entertainment--was seamless. If you're planning a large gathering or special celebration, the Centinela location is a fantastic choice!

    One of the rare spots in the area that can accommodate large groups! We had a party of 9 and had a great experience. They have onsite parking (no valet required when we went), and service was amazing, they're super nice and checked up on us a lot. Complimentary chips and salsa - 10/10. Salsa was a little spicy to some but the perfect kick for me Guacamole - 20/10 their guac is so fresh, it was my favorite dish of the night Ceviche - 9/10 it was a generous portion and also really good and fresh! Chicken enchilada - 8/10 I think I got too full off the appetizers but the enchilada was also good! I loved the green sauce it came with and it had a lot of chicken. So much that I took the rest home Michelada - 10/10 a classic

    Came here to celebrate my birthday. I sat on the patio so it was a little quieter as they have live mariachi in the main room. I enjoyed the ambiance and the music was a good volume. I ordered the steak fajitas and it was very good. It wasn't the best thing I've ever had in my life, but it was certainly above average. Service was prompt and great. I'd come back, they handle large parties well. I had their mezcal margarita and it tasted great.

    It's difficult to find a place where to spend New Year's Eve... you want a safe and cozy ambiance where you can take your family and enjoy the event. We spend it at Casa Sánchez and we had the most pleasant experience. First service is amazing at a venue with the elegance of a beautifull Mexican Hacienda, then in a date like this, Raul Sánchez fix a delicious Mexican menu with at least 10 gourmet plates going from the common Fajitas to elaborate ones like a delicious short leg of pork or delicious Mole Poblano or even a juicy filet Mignon!!! Every served in generous portions... and with a big square feet, chose of delicious desserts... if he repeats these event in February 14 or September15 Mexico's Independence Day or 5 de Mayo... but in regular days you can also enjoy excellent Mexican gourmet... see you there for February 14 all the with Mariachi music and as yesterday night, a wonderful music band!!!

    Fish Ceviche
    Esther L.

    Had a FANTASTIC dining experience at Casa Sanchez. Rogelio was our server and gave fantastic suggestions and we had some nice conversation as he was serving us through the night. Very attentive and kind. Thanks Rogelio! Beyond the service, the food was fantastic. Highly recommend starting with the fish ceviche. Nice chunks of fish and a very healthy portion to share. The tobiko adds an unexpected and nice light crunchy texture. The shrimp enchilada was the favorite of the table. Absolutely demolished that plate and mopped up the sauce with more tortilla because the sauce was that good. All four of us really enjoyed the spot. Will be back for those dreamy shrimp enchiladas!

    The Show
    Dani Z.

    TL;DR: Expensive, but if you have a celebration, this is the place to be! I read Yelp reviews before my visit, and definitely see both sides. I was invited to a birthday dinner, and to be honest, I considered declining the invitation because I knew it would be a pay your own way evening, and face it, your basic Combo plate here ($36) costs twice as much as a regular Mexican restaurant. That said, this is NOT a regular Mexican restaurant. This is the place you come to for a special event! The Mariachi singers are FANTASTIC and really do a good show. It's fun and these singing men are very talented. The show lasts about an hour or so. They celebrate all the birthdays and special occasions from the stage as the servers deliver a celebratory treat. The servers are extremely attentive! From the moment I was seated until the end of the evening. My soda ($6.50 OUCH!) was refilled several times before I could ask. Now... to discuss the food, because this is a restaurant. Upon arrival, the table was lined with chips and a delicious salsa with a mild kick. The guac is a fair portion for $11. It was hard for me to restrain myself from double dipping! Calamari ($20) was ordered for the table, and admitting to never having tried it before, it was divine! Especially with a tap of lemon! Trying to manage my budget with my tastes, I ordered the Taquito appetizer ($18) and an a la carte Taco Durado ($10! Not on the menu. YIKES!) I felt that the kitchen/server could have been a little more detail oriented, as I requested no tomatoes on the taco and the taquitos came covered in tomato, I requested no cabbage on the taquitos, but they put cabbage in the taco. Other than this, both items were tasty. Including some pictures from dinners around the table, because they looked yummy, even though I did not get to taste. If you are the person with a special occasion, be prepared to blow out the candle on a flan - likely before you've gotten to ordering dessert. It's cool, because when it comes to dessert, there's a gorgeous tray that arrives of treats to choose from. Most "regular" Mexican restaurants offer up flan, and maybe cheesecake. Here, the options are so much better! Tres Leche, Carrot Cake, Tiramisu, Pistachio Cake, Chocolate Cake and, of course, flan. It all looks drool worthy. I ordered the Tiramisu, and got to try the flan. The Italian treat was light and airy, rivaling that of a phenomenal Italian restaurant. The flan was dense, like cheesecake. It had a nice caramel flavor. Keeping in alignment with the rest of the menu, the cost was higher than your average dessert at a regular restaurant - $12! However, the portions were a bit more generous. Our table with 6 dinners, 3 desserts, and mostly non-alcoholic beverages racked up a tab of $380 after tax (hey! it's the tax that kills it all!) ... hopefully this review helps you to create an enjoyable experience to fit your own budget.

    Elegance, entertainment and culture. Took my wife here in a date night and this place did not disappoint. Service was excellent with a valet for $5 to greet you in the parking lot. Walking in feels very elegant just in the lobby and once you walk into the dining area, it feels classy with the vintage paintings, dark wood tables and an atmosphere that exudes high class entertainment. The elephant in the room is unmistakably right at the front of the restaurant. The stage for the mariachi band feels like a main character in of itsellf sparking a tinge of excitement of what's to come. And when they came out they performed for just over an hour. Entranced by song, notes and words, time becomes irrelevant as you are focused on the showmanship of each member. The food was also delicious. The cocktails were also intoxicating. Both complimented the powerful melody of music. Would come again.

    No Notes! Casa Sanchez is consistently such a great experience. The staff is always so nice and accommodating, and the atmosphere feels welcoming every time. Their chips are homemade and perfectly crisp, and the salsa is so fresh and flavorful it's impossible not to ask for seconds. I'm always impressed with how positive and attentive the staff is, and the food never misses, every dish feels made with care. Definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area.

    Getting a 4 star for their customer service. The food was good- wasn't amazing especially for the prices we paid. The drinks were not strong, again, for the price we paid we expected more. The Mariachi was late, started closer to 7 and ended at 7:30 on the dot, they were great and super entertaining just wish they would have sang more for the whole hour. A family of 13 walked out paying around 800 for a so so time. Wished I had a better review.

    Substitute Vegetales instead of rice/beans.

    Patio seating .?

    Yes they have patio seating

    Is there any additional charge to watch the show?

    There is no additional cost to watch the show. What you will notice is that the prices on the menu are more expensive (some as much as double) what you would pay for comparable menu items at a typical Mexican restaurant that does not have the show.… 

    Is there a KIDS menu available?

    Yes there is

    I would like propose to my girlfriend in this place. I was wondering if the restaurant can help set up or play a song for us?

    They have a list of songs they perform every night but they also will announce engagements and birthdays . As for a special song you should contact the restaurant I'm sure they would work with you . They gave me a free tequila shot on my birthday.… 

    Hi. I'm celebrating my mom's 60th Birthday and wondered if requests are allowed during any mariachi shows?

    They don't take any requests. They have their preset songs which are very nice and popular. They also sing happy birthday and read the names out loud.

    I am confused about the showtimes and the main room mariachi times? Is the reservation for dining/main room, or how does it work? I just made a reservation for 8:15, so I just wanted some clarification. Thank you!

    Hello! Yes all the reservations we take are in the main room for the show. Your 8:15pm reservation is for our 9:00pm show. You get to order and start having dinner before the show starts

    High chairs available for small children?

    Hello! Yes we have high chairs and booster seats available

    Hi! I want to take my grandma for her bday. She wants to listen to mariachi but she also needs to eat early. What hours does the mariachi play on Sundays?

    5pm is the earliest show according to their website.

    Is there mariachi and folklorico dancers? The website says they have both but I haven't read any reviews that mentions folklorico dancers?

    The dancers haven't been back since pre covid

    Are you allowed to have photographer I am having my Tatas 90th there?

    Of course! And the waiters will help with photos as well.

    Do they have gluten-free options?

    No they don't

    Will Casa Sanchez take reservations for Thanksgiving?

    Casa Sanchez will be closed on Thanksgiving

    Is Casa Sanchez kid friendly? Could we bring our 2 year old?

    It's a family environment but it's very crowded not much space

    Do you accept American Express cards?

    Yes we do!

    Mariachi on Friday night at 7:30 as well?

    Yep! Make a reservation

    Do they serve brunch on the weekends?

    No, we are only open for dinner

    Is there mariachi tonight?

    Yes, 7:30pm and 10pm

    Are you able to order from items that aren't on the prefix menu for example like the cochinita pibil?

    Yes! You can find it on our website under events tab. $60 ++ in our patio with show or $45 ++ in our Terraza without show

    Is there live music? Preferably live mariachi?

    Yes there is live music. However it is timed throughout the evening. Your reservations will dictate the entertainment on stage. It's not live mariachi where a small mariachi band comes to your table and serenades you. This is a group mariachi… 

    Hi. Is there a TV in the bar area or in the patio area?

    No televisions.

No apology, no real explanation--they basically just brushed it off. Thankfully, the food saved the night! The Michelada oysters were TO DIE FOR--seriously one of the best oyster flavors I've ever had. We also had the short rib plate, which was delicious. The outdoor atmosphere and decor are really cute too. I would come back, but ONLY for those oysters--definitely not for the service.

Yes, you get all three so no hard choices have to be made. My first impression of the beans was that they were no biggie but last night they were fire! I almost ordered a plate to take home. You have been warned the ceviche tostada has a kick but squirt some lime on it if you need to and you will survive. As for the guacamole, it's guacamole - need I say more? For my entree I went with the snapper, which came with escabeche, lime, pineapple, cilantro, green onion, and chili rub. In the past, I've strictly stuck to their small plates and I feel that's still the way to go. Nothing wrong with my snapper, I just love all the other little plates more. I went with one other person and only one piece of cheesecake came out. Supposedly it was a bigger slice but looked like an average size to me. This cheesecake is made with manchego cheese so don't expect an overly sweet treat. I did enjoy it. But, I also ordered their flan that is only available in August and I found that to be better than the cheesecake. Get both as one is limited edition. We also got the fried chicken tacos. We were told they were pretty spicy but I felt the ceviche was spicier. They were tasty but did not live up to their oxtail tacos they used to have. Also, squirt some lime on these tacos - you're welcome. This is one of my fave places to dine during peak weather season. Go check them out. Tip: street parking is available if you get there at 5 otherwise valet is $15. Trust, you do not want to park your car anywhere other than that one block where the restaurant is located.
