Must order chip and salsa.
Andy S.

This place is good as it gets. Must order chip and salsa. Service was outstanding and clean facility.

We ordered some takeout for us and our neighbors. I got the #16 Deluxe Molcajete Wet Burrito with Carnitas and done fajita style. I loved it! Wife got the #22 Tamales with chicken. She loved that. Neighbor guy got the #21 Chili Relleno and Beef Tamale combo. He loved that. Note there's a typo on their menu and the #20 actually is Chili Relleno and Enchilada. Neighbor lady got the Molcajete Tostada Salad and said it was fine. Apparently the tortilla was a bit stale. We also got a large cups and salsa and a large guacamole. Both of which were excellent! But again the ladies noticed the odd chip that was stale.

When we came in, the hostess said they had a private event on the left side, so we went into the right side of the bar. I asked if we could have happy hour there and he said we had to sit on the other side, it was open seating, but then he offered our group to stay and sit at that high top bar and he would extend the HH to us, that was awesome! Great accommodating our group of 4 and we really appreciated that. Not only did he make us feel welcome, our bartender was great at suggesting drinks and talked to us to us while we were there. We did order the nachos and the guac and both were delicious! The chips they make are also excellent. Our drinks were super sweet so our bartender offered to make them "skinny" and that def did help with the sugary part. Great location in the shopping center with the ocean right next to you.

From the moment I arrived, the manager Zack was very friendly and they accommodated the tables for us to have the best view of the sunset and HB Pier. The server Ethan is one of a kind, his timing is impeccable, when you need he is there. Great food, breath taking view, combined with awesome staff made this place one of my favorites. Thank you Zack, Ethan and all the wonderful people from Ola. I'll see you soon.

Next thing I look for is a welcoming, knowledgeable staff. We chose to sit at the bar, with Jason taking care of us. First thing I noticed was his genuine desire to get to know our preferences. It was slow, so after some chatting he was able to narrow us down to the exact drinks we were craving. The drink menu was exquisite, noticably favoring tequila, but had plenty of solid whiskey/gins/ vodkas. Jason went above and beyond to help me pick out some tequilas I'd never had, while my Dad tried a very unique mezcal negroni. We also had the pleasure of chatting with Chris, the GM, who recommended a pablono alfredo chicken pasta, and it didn't disappoint. We were only stopping by for drinks, wish we could have tried more of the menu! This is definitely a spot that will take a few visits to appreciate everything there is to offer. 10/10 on food, service, and vibes

They should serve in larger glasses honestly! We ended up ordering 6 appetizers. Outstanding was the Pistachio Goat cheese, taquitos. Boring was the guacamole and sadly the queso fundido. It was overcooked. The Brunch looks great so we will be back to try that and hopefully will be delicious. Our server Brittany was excellent. Knowledgeable and honest about her personal favorites. We will give this place another chance

VG Tacos & Even Cooler Atmosphere!…read more There are plenty of taco places in downtown Huntington Beach, but Sancho's stands out for something beyond the food -- the atmosphere! Sancho's recently moved from its original location farther back from PCH to a new spot closer to the action, formerly Angry Al's. I stopped in on Taco Tuesday and ordered three tacos: the Halibut , the OG steak, and the chicken. All three were solid, traditional street-style tacos with generous portions of meat. The OG was particularly good! And with 50% off on Taco Tuesday, the value is tough to beat. But what really sets Sancho's apart is the vibe. The owner has clearly invested some serious money and creativity into the artwork on the walls. There are some really cool, unique pieces that make the place feel more like an art gallery that happens to serve tacos. Dinner and an art show? Works for me! In my opinion, this is the coolest atmosphere of any taco spot in downtown HB. The staff was friendly and helpful, and if you peek out the windows, you even get a little ocean view. Not bad for a taco joint! There's also some exciting potential ahead. I hear they're working on getting a beer and wine license, and there's talk of possibly adding rooftop access with an elevator, which could make for some fantastic ocean views. Of course, that all depends on working things out with the city. I'm also looking forward to the owner's upcoming #Krazy Kooters concept nearby, which sounds like it could bring another fun option to the area, potentially with cocktails. Parking tip: You get 90 minutes of free parking in the large downtown parking structure. That's plenty of time to walk over to the 6th Street and PCH area, enjoy some tacos, check out the artwork, and stroll around before the meter starts running. A pretty good deal for downtown HB! I've heard good things about the owner, and I hope his continued investment in the area pays off. It's great seeing local businesses bring some personality and creativity to downtown. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

The taco bar tacos are only $1.99! They hand press the tortillas and pan fry it front of you so it's fresh. The asada fries and birria tacos are $7.99. You can also add on grilled onions, jalapeños, salsas, cilantro, etc.. We also got a couple of alcoholic drinks. I specifically got the strawberry slushie margarita and it was super refreshing. It was also huge for only $10! All in all, I had a great time. We were celebrating a birthday and the employees sang to them and gave them a little dessert!
