Regular Burrito - Asada
Kalia D.

I asked for a Cali burrito and then I said I wanted Asada for the protein the girl acted like she couldn't hear me at first and then said what meat and I said Asada. She just gave me a regular burrito. Very disappointed that I won't ever see what that Cali burrito tasted like!

Fries - Asada
Bianca G.

FYI. This location is open! Not closed!!! Not sure why it shows closed on Yelp. Inside there is a variety of choices to eat from. We ordered the Baja fish taco, a chicken taco, the fries and a chicken burrito. Honestly the Baja fish taco was delicious the sauce had a nice kick to it! The chicken was not my fave, me and my friend both felt it needed more seasoning. The fries were also a 10/10 as they give you A LOT for the price. Could easily be shared between two people. Service was quick, you order and then they call your order! Inside there is plenty of tables and a salsa bar!!! Which is cool! I always like Chando's so I def recommend. The Baja taco is worth the price and probably the best fish taco I have had!

Negro Modelo Chips & Pico
Whylee R.

We first started going to the Chando's tacos in Sacramento before there was even a location in Elk Grove/South Sacramento and it was always the best. The different options at Chando's set it apart from any other Mexican restaurants. They have vegetarian options, seafood, and more variety of meats than anyone else. Any of the meats done on the grill have such a smoky wonderful flavor that can't be beat. There really is nothing else

The Chando's Taco truck!
Joyce W.

This review is for the Chando's Taco food truck at an event. We ordered 2 carne asada burritos and 2 pork adobada burritos and both kinds were good but too salty. My husband did kind that there's little to no rice, I don't think there's any in there, which is what he prefers. It's a lot of protein with mostly meat, plus the pico de Gallo, cheese, and we asked for salsa on the side instead of in the burritos. They were made quickly and served warm and packaged well. Service was fast, polite, and professional. There's no ambiance since it was at an event, so it wasn't at the restaurant, but we enjoyed our burritos at a picnic bench and we also got chips and mild salsa Verde with a drink. Everything was delicious, but again kind of salty. Portions were big so we split the burritos and only ate 2 and saved the other 2 for later. Looking forward to future events with Chando's tacos!

A chicken mulita

The chicken mulitas were delicious! I couldn't boy wait to taste it. We were surprise with the taste of them.

Loaded fries/ with steak

Chandos, chandos......chandos ‍ First, I have to start off by saying I have been a patron of Chando's for many years and have seen the growth and expansion of the business and I'm so proud of you all. That being said, I ordered Chando's through a third-party delivery service. I don't remember. When I received my food, it was at first glance, aesthetically appealing, and I was excited to devour. The seasoning of the food was top-notch, which is the only reason I give you a slight pass. We ordered the three street tacos which were stuffed with toppings which I love however, the tortillas weren't crisp but either soggy from the juice or from the condensation through travel. It's stuck like glue to the parchment paper, making it very difficult to enjoy as the tacos breakdown in your hands We also ordered a loaded fry, which was also loaded with meats and toppings. Once I started eating it, I noticed that the fries were not cooked all the way through and you can taste that they were not fresh but seemed previously frozen. Upon skipping around the fries and through the toppings is where I discovered the huge grease puddle that was slowly building and taking over the fries. It quickly turned to mush, which forced me to not be able to finish it. Chandos, you have a great product however I feel either the process is being rushed or now due to great expansion corners are being cut, which makes me very sad. Your food is tasty and delicious , but I miss the love and care from back in the day.

I order nachos and tacos the papa. I asked for avocado in the side. They didn't give it to me. When up and asked and they told me they already gave it to me. I asked because I didn't get it. Worst experience.

Chando's Veggie Tacos
Nancy L.

I came here on a Taco Tuesday where most of their tacos are $2.50. I love how they have a variety of vegetarian tacos. From my experience, they do rotate their Taco Tuesday menu but always have vegetarian options on the list. My friend and I each ordered a veggie, papas, and espinicas taco. Food came out super quick and hot. My favorite was the papas tacos since it was deep fried filled with mashed potato. The veggie and espinicas tacos was also really good but was a bit too salty for me. I recommend grabbing some of their green and red sauce at the sauce station and drizzling them on your tacos for maximum flavor. Would visit again for more Taco Tuesdays!

Really good tacos! I love their pico and elotes too. The employees are friendly and the food is always fresh. Can't go wrong with a Chandos taco!!

Adobada and asada street tacos
Mikayla M.

I tried the adobada and asada street tacos on my lunch break Thursday, both were good and I recommend them! 5 stars for those 2 tacos but I can't speak on the rest of the menu and only recommend what I ordered. The service was very fast and friendly here, lots of tables inside as well. Plenty of parking too. I recommend stopping by here sometime.

Veggie tacos
David C.

Not bad. Service was helpful, water you refill yourself. There was a lot of different desserts in there though. I feel like I'd stop by just for that. I had gotten veggie tacos. They were decent, veggies tossed together, little bit light on cooking. Flavors didn't meld a bit. But I always like salsas to choose from and the green was nice and creamy.

Taco de tripas
Andrew K.

The carne asada burrito I tried here was terrible. It was loaded with lots of fillers like chopped lettuce, pico-de-gallo, guacamole, cilantro, diced onions, cheese and tomatoes. (I am glad I asked them not to add the sour cream.) The meat was dry, too chewy and overly seasoned. Rolled inside a poorly pan-fried tortilla shell that was already cracking in the middle when I removed the wrappings. The edges were cold. The much hyped burrito totally bombed. Very disappointing. Its loyal patrons and Sacramentans love Chando's. But you have heard the idiom that "love is blind." They obviously lack taste perception as well. Not good. Service was subpar and my order took an unusually long time despite only one customer ahead of me by the time I placed mine. Hard pass next time.

The burrito was below average in size, had meat covering less than half of it, and contained no sour cream. The portion and overall preparation were nowhere near what I would expect when paying for a carnitas burrito. But the most concerning part was the salsa. It had an extremely strong chemical taste and smell that reminded me of Fabuloso or mop/cleaning solution. It was so unpleasant that I genuinely questioned whether something had gone wrong with the preparation or whether the salsa had somehow come into contact with cleaning chemicals. I cannot say what caused it, but the taste was absolutely disgusting and raised a serious food-safety concern for me. This is why consistency and proper food-handling procedures matter. A restaurant can have a great meal one day and a terrible one the next, but customers shouldn't have to wonder whether something that tastes like cleaning chemicals is safe to eat. I hope management takes this seriously and looks into the preparation, storage, and handling of the salsa and other ingredients. If a product tastes or smells strongly enough like cleaning chemicals that a customer is questioning whether it may be contaminated, that is something that should be investigated--not dismissed. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this burrito. Poor portion, poor execution, and a salsa that raised legitimate food-safety concerns. Consistency and cleanliness should be non-negotiable in a restaurant.

We finally had time off again on a Sunday to come and enjoy thier yummy Sunday Brunch…read more Everything tasted amazing! Wish I could eat more I would of tried more dishes. Last time we were there I thought I was able to get just plain tortillas from the tortillas lady spot. But she looked confused then I asked for a few flour tortillas. She asked what meat I wanted to make street tacos. That's fine the pork tasted very good. But I like plain tortillas with the eggs and other dishes. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I guess next time we will ask the server. We started with the omelets this time. Very good and well made. We tried many things, hard to take pictures. It was very busy and carrying a plate didn't work well when taking pictures.

Got chips and salsa right when I sat down, but it was about 10 minutes before anyone came to take my order. Food came out in about 8 minutes after ordering though. I got the two steak tacos meal which came with refried beans and cilantro rice. The beans were actually a highlight for me, flavorful and piping hot. The tacos were decent overall and the steak itself was definitely the strong point, but the red onions weren't finely chopped and that was throwing me off a little. Overall not a bad spot if you're in the area and want some Mexican food.

Add friendly service and a colorful setting, and you have a great downtown Sacramento dining spot!

Unfortunately, the service was lacking during our visit. One of our meals was forgotten and we had to flag down the server to let him know. Our server also wasn't around very often, so it was difficult to get refills or ask for anything we needed. When we requested a specific number of to-go boxes, we weren't given enough and had to get up and ask for additional boxes ourselves. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but I took away 1 star for the lack of service. The service could definitely use some improvement, especially since it wasn't busy when we went. With more attentive service, this could have been a much better dining experience.

It's always been a busy place and sometimes hard to get into before a show, but the service was always great. This time we sat outside, which actually had a really nice view of the Golden 1 entrance. Our waiter was really nice and courteous, but it was pretty obvious he was doing the job of about three people. He did the best he could and stayed friendly the whole time, but when you're spread that thin it's hard to stay on top of drinks, food coming out, checking on tables, etc. We didn't really hold that against him because it seemed much more like a staffing issue than anything he was doing wrong. One of the things I've always liked about Polanco is their carafe of Palomas. We ordered one at the bar and then another at the table. When we got the bill, we noticed an extra charge for four cups. After looking at it again, we realized that after paying $48 for a carafe, you're also being charged for the cups you drink it out of. That is honestly one of the most ridiculous charges I've ever seen at a restaurant. I've always really liked this place, so it was disappointing. Being short staffed is one thing, but that's a management issue, not the waiter's fault. Charging people extra for cups after they just bought a $48 carafe of cocktails is just wild. This review does not refer to their food, ambiance, decor or staff. Unfortunately this has to do with under staffing (managing issue) and now charging for CUPS
