I've always gone to Los Sanchez as a kid after baseball games or football games and always remember the delicious food and big portions. I recently returned now as an adult and it's still delicious as ever and the portions are great for the price, the ambiance make you feel at home, makes you feel like I'm back at my Nani's (abuela/grandma). They offer you a plate of chips with bean dip and guacamole and it's absolutely delicious, perfect little teaser for the delicious food to come. I ordered a chicken quesadilla supreme with my brother and it's the size of a pizza and we weren't even able to finish it so we had leftovers! I almost forget to mention we visited on Father's Day and they gave my brother and father a free Father's Day mug. Just shows how much they care about their customers. Overall Los Sánchez is definitely one of those authentic Mexican spots with great ambience great service and it's just a great experience. read more

I love Mexican food. If I had to pick only one Mexican restaurant to eat at for the rest of my life, this would be it. I've been eating here for over 30 years. This is casual dining at its best where people occasionally line up outside the door to get in. You order at the counter and they will give you a plate of chips with guacamole, beans, and cheese to eat while you wait for your food. They have a salsa bar if want salsa for your chips or food. My normal order is the works burrito. It normally comes with both Chili Verde and Chili Colorado inside i order mine with Steak Picado instead. The burrito is huge and I can't finish it. My wife likes to get a small bowl of the Chili Verde. Its full of flavor and loaded with tender pork. read more

This review is based off a catering order at work. We had trays of asada, tortillas, rice, beans, and salsas. The asada was delicious and tender. The beans were amazing! Absolutely delicious and I could've eaten a pound more! The salsas were great and a little spicy. I definitely want to go to the restaurant itself now to order some other things as well as some beans to go! read more

Los Sanchez how have you evaded me the crime is that no one has told me about this place and i have lived in this city for 30 years. *** If you read anything in this review reqd this*** TACO TUESDAY $1.99 tacos (authentic) $5 Margarita blened Need i say more?! Overall the owner is such a character you cant miss him he has a thick mustache and with deep voice. He hide the habenero salsa to definitely ask him for it. Also resturant is like an old school cafeteria and it is such a vibe. If gen-z and gen alpha find out about this place the lines will be massive. read more

Simply Amazing!! I really enjoyed having breakfast here at Los Sanchez restaurant in Garden Grove. The service was fantastic and the Authentic Sonora Mexico cuisine was amazing. The Al pastor was definitely worth the ride here. You have to try their great breakfast special Chorizo and eggs with fresh guacamole and potatoes and refried beans. Everything was delicious and taste so fresh. Definitely worth the visit and the price is just right. Lots of free parking and only a few minutes from the Great Wolf Lodge too. Come and enjoy what everyone has known for over 25 years now. See you here and ask for Savanna at the cashier. read more

Came here with a large party on a Tuesday night. When I walked in, I was amazed by the expansive menu. They had every Mexican food item I could think of, including some American classics like burgers and chicken nuggets on the kids menus. Since I couldn't decide what to order, I asked the cashier what I should order. One of the chefs overheard this, and came to the other side of the counter and told me all about his special carne asada. Because of this, I ordered the California burrito with the carne asada. Before receiving food, the restaurant gave us 2 complimentary plates nachos for our large party, which was super nice. This place has the nicest service I have ever seen. Everyone here is very nice. The California burrito was huge! I split it into 2 meals because I could only finish half. Like the chef said, the carne asada was great. The ambiance is good, they have a salsa bar and many decorations. read more

Tables are cleaned quickly when anyone leaves. They have plenty of parking. read more

They're very nice and patient when taking orders too. I recommend! read more

I tried putting salsa and salt , but it didn't really help. Service was good. Ambience was good lots of sitting very clean. We also had a flan for dessert that was good. Over I wouldn't come back if I did then definitely will try to order something else. But for me, it's the one time visit. . read more

The atmosphere here is very authentic and old school. I got the chili verde and sadly it was a bit depressing as it didn't have any fatty meat. The portions here do justify the price even if the wood was just okay. The chips and beans were good. Also got the pina aqua Fresca and it was a little too sweet for me so I only drank half. Will come back to try something else and hopefully it will be better. read more

Los Sanchez Restaurant - Chile Verde Plate - Mexican Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Food is ok but highly priced. The plate will be full of rice, beans and fries with minimal meat or chicken. A lot of chips and salsa as entrees is included before calling your number to pick up your dish. Initially, when I started going to this restaurant, the prices were reasonable and food was delicious/high quality. Nowadays, it ridiculously expensive for Mexican restaurant . Be ready to pay $20-30 per person. Not including drinks. there is no waitress. You need to order your food at the register and pick up when your numbers is called. If you need an extra napkin or utensils, you need to get it yourself. There is a salsa bar but again you need to serve yourself. read more

Great food at an affordable price! Always pleasant service. Fun ambiance. I've told all my friends they have to try and they will also keep going back This restaurant is a 7 star for me read more

Delicious authentic food!! With a huge diverse menu, you have lots to pick from and a dish for everyone to love. Great customer service from the warm welcome to the farewell out the door. Atmosphere is nice and cozy. Lots of parking and lots of table which is great for group gatherings. read more

We were craving tripas, and my cousin likes this place, so we came here for the tripas plate and also got the Camarones Empanizados. We came to order to-go on a Saturday evening, and it wasn't too crazy busy. The tripas were extra extra crispy, too crispy for me. Everywhere else, I always order tripas and ask for it extra crispy, and they're all still less crispy than how they make it here. The tripas were all crunch, no chewiness to it. I'd like it have some chewiness to it. The fried shrimp was good. It would be nice if it came with some sauce/salsa. My cousin kept complaining about that; she really wanted salsa with it. We just assumed it would since we get sauce at just about every other Mexican place. read more

Went to Los Sanchez Restaurant during my lunch break and it hit the spot. I love that they give you chips and guacamole while you are waiting for your food to arrive. It is such a nice touch and makes the wait feel even shorter. I ordered the carne asada plate which comes with beans and rice, lettuce, guacamole, and tortillas. I went with flour tortillas this time. The portions are generous and everything was cooked well. The carne asada had great flavor and paired perfectly with the sides. The food comes out quickly and is always filling, which makes it a great option if you are stopping in during a lunch break. The atmosphere is fun and casual, and the staff are always friendly. They also do a great job checking in and helping clear the table once you are finished. There are so many options on the menu and everything I have tried has been delicious. This is always a solid spot and I find myself coming back every so often. read more

An American style diner that speaks Spanish. Basically, a big grill with a lot of competent journeyman cooks behind it, who will cook pretty much anything you want. Lot of random Hispanic people show up, so it seems to be well accepted in the community, even though it seemed a bit Americanized to me. Whatever, the steak burrito was plentiful and the price was right for it. The food was nothing to write home about, but it was competently prepared. This place is a solid choice if you are in the neighborhood and want lunch. If you want to impress a date or have a great evening out, might want to look elsewhere. read more

I love all the staff here as they create a warm and inviting atmosphere to all their customers! I always enjoy their food and appreciate the surplus of food to try! My family and I coincidentally came here to eat on the day that Mexico was playing against another country for the FIFA World Cup, and the entire restaurant cheered so loudly with joy! read more

I haven't been here in years but before Covid there was a time when this place was so packed every single day that you couldn't find parking let alone a table. The food is average at best but they give you big portions so you will be full for sure. They have the best customer service I've ever experienced at a small owned restaurant. The owner/manager was a really nice guy. read more

My family and I have been going to Los Sanchez since 1985. We have so many great memories at this restaurant! It is welcoming and has a strong family atmosphere. We took my 83 year-old Mom to Los Sanchez for her birthday last night. The food was great and the staff and patrons sang happy birthday to my Mom. They gave her flan with a candle and a gift! So sweet and my Mom loved it! I highly recommend Los Sanchez! read more

This was an old hangout spot with my friends and I decades ago at their old location and I finally came back. I'm so happy to still see (and hear) some of the same workers! They have a huge menu so it's always hard to decide. Just had to go with my gut that day. I ordered the carne asada torta which comes with fries and a half cheese quesadilla and I ordered an horchata. So the half cheese quesadilla was shocking big but I managed to devour the whole thing. I only at half of my torta which was also delish. And fries are always good! The horchata was great and had to get a refill which isn't free. There's some good vibes here! Definitely coming back to try more. read more

I put a order on through DoorDash but they didn't listen to half the order I put through. I ordered 2 tacos (which were pretty dry) with cilantro and lime on the side but I didn't even get the limes. I also asked for utensils but there was none in the bag. I get that I probably should've checked before I left but I also expect that when I ask for something the first time they should listen. read more

Very clean atmosphere chili bar and very kind counter servers. I ordered Carnitas rice and beans. The carnitas were delicious freshly cooked with that great crispy outside shell. Tender juicy inside. The plate was $18.50. I also had a large cook. The plate came with chips frijoles and guacamole and flower tortillas. My wife might have paid for the chips. I recommend this beautiful little restaurant especially if you have children. The staff super friendly. I asked for a to go cup and they took my cup and put it in a to go cup and topped it off. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. read more

Los Sanchez Restaurant - Carnitas platter - Mexican Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Went there tonight. Tried to order online but kept getting an error message when I tried to pay the $40.42 for two dinner plates which were both two tacos, hard shell, rice and beans. One was for asada and the other carnitas. So I called it in and asked them to include some habanero salsa and to please pack plastic utensils and napkins, which is a choice offered on the online menu. When I got there the order was ready and the bill came to 42.42, which seemed odd since the online order came to 40.42. When I asked about this I got some meek excuse that because carne prices went up they had to raise the prices a little but had not changed it yet on the online menu. Got home and opened my dinner and my oh my what a salad lovers delight. Two tacos with some cheese with lettuce everywhere and a little meat hidden below. There was lettuce everywhere. Under the beans, under the rice, around all the edges of the box. The food was completely cold. Not luke-warm but cold. The chips were stale and tasteless as were the beans, rice and tacos. Del Taco would have been an upgrade and it was a Tuesday so I could have had better tacos for about 5 bucks. This place has gone the way of most food places everywhere. Price gouging mediocrity with not much to offer. I won't be back. read more
