Love that they have a crunchwrap option here. Crunchwrap (5/5): I ordered this with tripa extra crunchy. It was SO good. They added a ton of tripa and it was perfect with the salsa. I do wish the salsa was spicer, but the crunch wrap itself was good. It came with fresh cucumber on the side too. Agua fresca (5/5): The flavour we got was passion fruit and I loved that it was fresh. There was some seeds and honestly sometimes i like the chew.

So delicious every single time and this time was no different. There's limited parking and you can either order inside or at the taco truck. There are areas to sit and wait for your order and tables to eat at. I ordered three al pastor tacos. There was a bit of a wait but it was worth it. So good as always. I literally scarfed my tacos down with salsa and grilled onions. My friend ordered a carne asada burrito which he said was super filling and the perfect amount of food. While I'm in town, I'll be here whenever I crave tacos.

After a music concert my group was hungry and my best friend suggested this place as it was relatively close to his home. I ordered a Pork belly Quesadilla and a Carne Asada Burrito for my lady and I was insanely surprised. I never seen pork belly offered so I figured I'd give it a try. It wasn't too bad but the carne asada tasted so savory and so different and delicious compared to other places. For the price we paid too I think this place is hard to beat. Definitely a "must-try" place in my opinion.

I came to Tacos Chencho without really knowing what to expect since I had never tried it before,…read moreand I was actually pretty impressed! I got the al pastor tacos, and they were really good. I also liked that they give you grilled onions and lime on the side. We also tried the quesadillas, which were huge and had a really good serving size. We got a strawberry agua fresca and horchata as well, and both were good. Our group of six spent around $80 altogether, which I thought was pretty reasonable considering the portions and the amount of food we got. The food came out quickly too. After we ordered, I'd say it took 10 minutes or less, so we really didn't have to wait long. My only suggestion would be more seating. There were only about two tables when we went, and if other people are already sitting there, it can feel a little awkward having to share a table with people you don't know. I definitely think there's room for improvement there. Overall, for trying this place completely blind, I was really impressed. The tacos were good, the portions were generous, the food came out fast, and the price felt fair for our group. I'd definitely come back!

The food tastes fresh and homemade. In my opinion the food is flavorful,but not very spicy. I either call in my orders and it usually ready in a few minutes. When I go in person there's a small crowd. If I go on the weekend it's super crowded. It's fairly large for a neighborhood restaurant. Plenty of parking.

You see them cook your food. It's a small place. Your order comes with chips and you have an open salsa bar to choose from. I got the pico de gallo and avocado sauce. I love the avocado sauce! It was creamy and not bland at all. My breakfast burrito had the usual eggs and beans in the burrito. I was low key scared to get the chorizo and opted for the bacon. The bacon was cooked to perfection in a wrapped dish. It's really filling with the chips. There's two handicapped spots in the front. Restroom is located outside. Cashier was nice but I can tell she was impatient with the language barrier. It wasn't difficult to meet halfway. Edit: I went here recently and I love my regular burrito with Al pastor. Perfect amount of everything. The avocado salsa is bomb.

I came at a pretty busy time so it wasn't at the tail end or start of service. - pastor tacos never came with any pineapple. - stingy af with the onion and cilantro The 2 redeeming qualities are the handmade tortillas (although 1 of mine was a little burnt) and salsa bar. I wouldn't come again, which sucks because I love a handmade tortilla.

I was craving ceviche for dinner and was curious about this place. Place is definitely a hidden…read moregem! Service: Workers are friendly and nice. Ambiance: Outdoor patio seating only, very vibey. Good place to sit down and talk Tostada mixta $10 (3/5): This ceviche was HUGE. This contains 70% imitation crab, 10% shrimp, 10% octopus, 10% vegeatables, and 2 tostadas. Having this much imitation crab was not my jam, it overpowered the actual fresh seafood. Definitely filling by itself, but I personally would rather order the shrimp and octopus ceviche next time. Burrito $10 (4/5): Not your typical big fat burrito with a bunch of stuff inside. It's a little bit creamy but not saucy. The salsa on the side enhances it. Fish tacos $3.50 (4/5): Solid fish tacos, huge portions as well. 2 of these would be filling for me. Would get these again, the bomb.com Thought the prices were a tad expensive, but getting your money's worth, HUGE portions. Would come back again for the tacos.

Both came plated with Meyer lemon, which was a nice touch, along with the usual accompaniments. The cabeza was only just ok by itself but pepped up when I added some of their homemade orange sauce, which had a nice habanero kick. The suadero was amazing - so crisp and fatty and flavorful that at first, I thought they'd misunderstood my order and given me pork. Family that runs the place is friendly. Worth seeking out on Alum Rock.

My colleagues and I met with a retired colleague here for lunch one Tuesday. Parking wasn't an issue. You order, pay, seat yourself. You need to ask for utensils and I question the water because the cup I happened to pickup was dirty. I opted for a soda instead. All of us ordered burritos (barbacoa, carne asada, lengua). We loved and enjoyed all the hot sauces! Some were flavorful and packed with heat. I ordered the supper lengua burrito. It came with shredded lettuce, so a thing to note if you don't want lettuce in your burrito. The lengua was soft and tender. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We will definitely be coming back. Good food and great company... almost a thing of the past now because everyone is so busy and food has gotten so expensive that going out to eat feels like a chore nowadays.

It was my first time and my hopes were high based off what they told me. No lies were told. The food was bussin. 4 sauces at the table : salsa rojas, verde, habanero and chipotle. All good and different spice levels. Menu: massive. Everything you want from quesadilla, tacos, nachos/fries, burrito, sopes and more. Theres like 10 proteins to choose from: carne asada, pollo, cabesza, shrimp, fish (grilled or fried), birria (goat or beef), al pastor and many more. Nice sports bar vibes with tv and bar for drinks. Because of this, they're super busy. Mario was the gentleman helping me out and he is AWESOME! super polite and helpful. He made my first experience nice. Highly recommend.
