Al pastor and chorizo were the best tacos. Also got fried pork and chicken which were great. Definitely coming back here, these were easily top 3 tacos ive ever had. Red/green Sauces were exceptional. Line seems to always be long, but they got us our tacos in 30 minutes which for how crowded it was, was actually a good wait time. read more

Seriously? I love Mexican food this is not it! The enchiladas were buried in raw shredded cabbage so you couldn't see at first glance how dry they were. The were dry, tasteless and barley warm. The burrito my S.O. got was filled mostly with the raw shredded cabbage. He said it was like eating straw. It was so bad that neither of us were able to eat a quarter of our meals. I can't believe all these rave reviews. The food we were served was just nasty not at all authentic. read more

Place can get packed! I only ever order their tacos and enchiladas because that is always what I crave from there. But both are yummy, though I wish their enchiladas had more sauce (easy fix though). The bakery is such an added treat! After my meal i grab a tray, and take my pick of all the delicious fresh baked goodies. Their caramel apple filled Churros.....my god. read more

Stumbled across this treasure! Very tasty Authentic Mexican food! Everything was delicious and the bakery food is also amazing! read more

See all

I can only guess that all these authentic Taquerias lining the streets of Tigard are just there to mock me. You see, I live right off the 12 line. This means that there are literally 3 great Taquerias only a bus ride away: Sanchez Seven Stars La Fuente Now, you may argue that La Fuente isn't exactly billing itself as a Taqueria. At least, you can argue that. I'm just not paying attention to you. Sanchez definitely walks the line between Mom & Pop shop and corporate land, but the food is really quite good. On top of that, the bathrooms here were amazingly clean. Given, I was there between dining hours, but still, well done. The chicken mole here was quite good, and while I'm no expert, I believe this to be in the Mole Poblano style. Their "Al Pastor" is just adobada pork, as is common here in Portland. To be fair, even the Mexican friends that I know living here in Portland tell me that one cannot find true Al Pastor here. Regardless, it goes great on the Huarache, which if you've never had, I recommend highly. Fried masa. Yeah. Overall I'm very pleased and looking forward for a trip back to try out some of those burritos I hear so much about. read more

I have eaten here so many times. This is my family's favorite restaurant. Last Sunday we stopped by on our way home from Coast. Got some Tacos an Burritos home. We also bought some Hot sauces. Our Burritos got mixed up and No hot sauces at all, I think they should hire more workers who understand or speak English better. I love the food, but not the services. read more

I absolutely love their carnitas tostadas. If I'm in need of a light-yet-filling, packed-with-flavor meal I'll buy a couple, if I want a snack I just get one. Sometimes I throw in a taco to complete the meal if I'm really hungry. I'm a huge fan of their salsa verde (the green hot sauce they give you). The red is good too, just not as spicy and delicious as the green. The tacos are good but not the best I've had. The tortillas are handmade which makes a big difference (yum!) but maybe because they're a little bigger than some other places I end up feeling like I get a little too much tortilla flavor in each bite. They aren't stingy on the meat though, and the seasoning is great. The tortas are good, but because the bread is so big I wish they'd add a little more meat in. I don't order them anymore for that reason. I'm not into burritos so I can't comment on them, but my boyfriend had one and said it was good, though not outstanding (he's from San Diego so he's got high standards for burritos). Prices are decent, the full meals seem a little higher than I'd pay at a small taqueria (usually around $11) but the burritos, tacos, tostadas, and tortas are pretty reasonable. Like some others I'd love to give them 3.5 stars, but I'm going with 3. The tostadas are definitely worth at least 4 stars, but because the tortas and tacos need a little more meat to balance them I'm gonna have to round down this time. Oh, friendly staff too as long as you are friendly to them. PS: They serve menudo on Saturday and Sunday. The price isn't listed on the menu but it's a whopping $10! Also, it was absolutely horrible. The boyfriend loves menudo and could barely eat it read more

this address used to be home of a beloved employer and local bar, Capone's. Well, 10 years later I thought I would try this Taqueria in Tigard that seems to get good press. I tried not to cry as I entered----there used be a counter where folks and baseball teams ordered pizza pies. I tried to use my Spanish, but my sentences and ordering didn't seem to line up with their ordering pattern. I waited a bit for my burrito---the clerk helped me decipher the menu board. I was bad at ordering, but was happy with my results. I got their carnitas burrito to go. It was humongous! I almost broke my arm-again, by lifting it on a plate. I had to take a break while eating this monster and then, eventually had to save some for tomorrow. Nice job on the burrito. I still miss my watering hole. The place was filled with families and the panaderia smelled legit. Coulda used two more hot sauces. 6.50 for 1 burrito = two meals. Hellsyah. They had a cute counter no one was sitting at...a large TV, so could hang and have a bottled beverage if you'd like, but didn't seem like they paid much attention to that part of the restaurant. read more

I love this place. Located not too far from where I used to live and still close to where I work, it's a great place to catch lunch or even a quick dinner after work before commuting back to the city. Their burritos are where it's at. I've had their bean dip and salsa with chips (last time a friend ordered it to start) and both were quite tasty. She ordered the fish tacos which were quite large in size, and I, as per usual, got a burrito. Carne asada, chicken, chorizo, it doesn't matter - you will be satisified. The rice/beans/cabbage, etc are portioned correctly, and their meats are always tender and delicious. The burrito is more than enough for one meal, but sometimes you need to eat yourself into a food coma of shame. You could easily cut this in half and split with two people, or have it for two separate meals. Their salsa in bottles (particularly the salsa verde) taste fresh and are particularly worth writing home about. Paired with coke in a glass bottle, and you've got a solid meal in front of you. This place has plenty of seating as it is also attached to a bakery (that often smells wonderful) - if you have a sweet tooth, watch out - as you likely also walk out with something to satisfy that craving! I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a solid mexican bite. read more

Okay... I've been looking for something a lot closer to authentic than Juan Colorado since I've gotten here (okay... a lot tastier than Juan Colorado!) So lucky me stumbles on this group of reviews for my very local Sanchez Taqueria and thought I would give it a shot. I'm very pleased that I did. I'll be honest and state that it's not the best Mexican I have evern had, but it's the best I've had since moving to Portland. I got the Carne Asada platter and my wife got the Carnitas platter (and we got a seasoned chicken taco on top based on the cashier's recommendation). Both the platters were very tasty and we got enough tortillas to start a fight at a college football game. Sadly, the taco left a little to be desired (wasn't a big fan of the seasoning). I made the mistake of asking for extra salsa (thank goodness on the side)... wow... Dirty Harry didn't pack that much heat. Granted, I'm a bit of a wimp, but it was cooking. The place is a bit hard to find... I mapped it before hand and still managed to drive past it twice. It definitely falls under the "dive" category, but that always makes a place more intriguing! This will likely be our standard for local Mexican food... thank God as I needed one! read more

One of the best Mexican food restaurants I've ever eaten at. The kicker is that you know it's a good Mexi joint when you go there and about 80% of the customers are Hispanic themselves. I haven't had a whole lot of items from their menu, and they aren't the cheapest, but holy crap is it good, my favorite thing is the carnitas huarache, my buddy said its named that because it is shaped like a shoe, but its made on their fresh baked tortilla/gordita hybrid, its the bomb! The restaurant also seems pretty clean from what I can tell. You can't go wrong with Sanchez! read more

Lots of good food here. I like the flavors and the Mexican TV content and the vibe. I'm not a fan of their burritos so I get the soup, tacos, or tortas which are all excellent. Let me explain my feelings about their burritos... I tend to like San Diego style burritos with just meat, pico and guac. I've had lots of really good mission style burritos from places like El Farlito in SF where they get it right but most places seem to want to kill you with rice and beans and they lose the flavor. Sanchez has this problem and my poor spanish and the front counter's poor english make this a comedy when I try to order less rice and beans in my burrito. Sometimes, "menos frijoles y arroz por favor" will work. Another odd thing about their burrito is the shredded cabbage. It has no flavor but provides an interesting texture so it's all good. It's interesting that when I order no rice and beans, I get a burrito that's half cabbage. Odd..... Anyways, their meats are really good so I normally just skip the burrito and eat only the tacos and tortas here. I should also mention that their pricing is about %30 higher than I'd expect. read more

Flautas, sopes, enchiladas, burritos and tacos are all amazing. Their salsas have good flavor too.

Wife and I wanted to eat dinner before we headed in to rush hour traffic into Portland. Based on yelp reviews, we decided to try this place. The woman attending the front counter was very rude and unfriendly. We were obviously new to this restaurant. My wife asked if the enchiladas had meat. There was some miscommunication, so I clarified wife is looking to order something without meat. The waiter or whatever suggested she order the special (enchilada with rice and beans and a steak or some-such) and they just would leave the meat off. Wtf? Ok whatever. I was interested in the fish tacos. Listed as "fish tacos $2.95." I asked what the size the fish tacos were, wondering if I should order $2.95 worth of fish tacos, or order two orders or what. The waiter said she didn't know. I clarified, in case she misheard or misunderstood me. Nope. She just said she doesn't know what size. No offer to go find out, no apology, no explanation of why the person taking my order is so ignorant of their own menu. I decided it was time to give up on this disaster. Wife and I had no attitude or anything. I don't understand why the counter woman was so unfriendly, and frankly, quite rude. We left and sat in traffic, rather than bother with this place, or any other in Tigard. Obviously we won't be back. read more

The Chavindeca is a taste sensation! It's like a giant double-decker tostada! Yum! The adjacent bakery makes tasty treats too. read more

Best food ever everytime i come here great service and amazing food! Best food - Torta Tacos Asada plate Burritos!!!!! read more

I'd give them 3.5 stars if I could, but since I can't they deserve to be rounded up. Giant burritos and a real friendly staff that remembers your favorites. The no-nonsense rice, beans, and veggie(cabbage, cilantro, onion) burrito is my favorite. They've just expanded to create more seating and incorporate a mexican bakery to the operations. People watching is great, with everything from day laborers to lawyers waiting in line. read more

I was craving some good authentic Mexican food, and came across this one. Looks kinda shabby on the outside with a ton of hispanic folk walking in, so I knew this place was golden. Love it when I'm right! This place is totally legit. First thing I saw was horchata. YESSSS.... We got a tasting of their tacos - hard, soft, beef, pork, chicken. My fav was the soft pork taco. Personally I think hard tacos are not very "authentic" just cause I love little soft tacos, but their homemade hard shell tacos were pretty good. But don't get me started on the tortillas. Those bad boys are yummy. We all ordered a little bit of everything and it all was delish. A little in the greasy side but it's a small price to pay for flavor. The only disappointment I had was the horchata, sadly. It was a little too sweet for me. Adding some ice helped a little. Can't wait to come back for more! read more

Anyone who grew up within sight of the Southern border (no Angelenos that's not you) will appreciate the authenticity of this place. This is crafted Mexican cuisine, not fast food. If you are in a hurry, the locals know to call ahead for pick up. Better yet, stay a while, somehow there is always live soccer on TV. Try the Huaraches, but be warned that you will be craving these. They are so good that it makes exploring the rest of the menu difficult. I usually bring someone with me and coerce them to order something I've been wanting to try so I don't have to give up my old favorite. The Panaderia is also a great bonus, but presents more challenging choices. It's hard to go wrong with either the Tres Leches or Flan. They are always well stocked with Mexican Coke and beer. The atmosphere is clean and simple, not fancy and they treat you like you're at home. You are not going to find anything better this far North. read more

Great prices and really good food. Had a beef Torta and beef tacos. The bread and tortillas were freshly made that day. The sauce on the Torta was the perfect mixture of spice and flavor. The beef has a great flavor, which tends to get lost at most the taquerias in this area. Had it Sunday night and two nights later we're going back for more!! read more

If you love authentic Mexican food, this is the place! Food is sooooo good, it is always packed, sometimes the line is out of the door. Awesome place to hang out in the summer! When my family comes from out of town, this is the only place they go for Mexican food. The tacos and flans are my favorite! read more

When Taqueria Portland closed in our old neighborhood we were so sad. Sanchez Taqueria was exactly what we were looking for! If you are looking for an authentic taqueria, look no further. This place is great and the homemade tortillas were a delicious bonus! read more

My wife has this place on speed dial. If we are in the SW PDX area Sanchez is a long time favorite. Personally, I like the lengua tacos and the melanaza tortas. Yep, lengua is cow tongue and it is tender and delicious, mmmoooo! (Lengua is great for kids, just tell them it's chicken!) When Sanchez opened years ago it was a a tiny space at the end of a building, a few tables only. Over the years it slowly expanded, and now it occupies the entire building. A testament to their good food and service. read more

Super excited to find a local family run business with friendly staff, great service and finally some good Mexican food. After being spoiled with quality Mexican food in San Diego for my childhood I can honestly say this will be our go to Mexican spot in Portland! The place has tons of seating, and it's always a good sign to see it full of families and people enjoying the food. Food is made to order and next time it's good to know we can call ahead if we want something for takeout. read more

Food was amazing! The portions were huge. My wife and I shared the carnitas and chips and salsa. It was more than enough. The corn tortillas were the best we ever had. We would have given it 5 stars but the margaritas were bad and they only offer one flavor. Also, they don't serve guacamole. Overall, very good and we'll definitely be back! read more

Although I am a big fan of Milanesa, more often than not opt for something else. The few times that I have ordered at other places, the meat has been covered with more cooking oil than bread crumbs; yucky! Because this place was very busy with regulars, I figured that was safe ordering Torta Milanesa. Well, I'm glad I did! It was very tasty, the bread wasn't too thick (you can actually taste the meat), and with just enough extras to complement it. I will definitely be back and order it again and take home some fresh homemade Mexican pastry from their good selection. read more

I was in the area wanted mexican food ended up here based end yelp reviews is true love Awesome real mexican food great tacos al pastor with corn tortilla homemade my wife had a steak burrito was excellent seriously so goob Great service and affordable prices I say sanchez taqueria is the best around read more

Been here twice. I have left unimpressed both times. The first time I ordered a pastor torta. It was just meh. The second time I wanted a breakfast burrito. But they don't have them on the menu. Which is kind of understandable, because burritos are a Tex Mex / SW US / Chihuahua food item anyway, and this restaurant is more of an "Old Mexico" eatery. Anyway. After much back and forth, the woman behind the counter was able to figure out how to get me one. She even had to leave the counter to go to the kitchen and ask how much to charge me. Finally, after all of that, when the burrito arrived, it was . . . kinda lame. I just can't imagine how can someone mess that up. But then my friend's tacos arrived on . . . flour tortillas!! In Mexico, tacos are NEVER EVER served on flour tortillas unless they are specifically ordered as such, which he didn't. He ate them all the same, so maybe he used telepathy, I dunno. However, the green sauce at the table was pretty yummy and so it spared them the much dreaded single star review. read more

Absolutely love this spot and it's become a staple for our trips to PDX and Oregon wine country. Pretty authentic all around, including the al pastor, as compared to what I've had in Jalisco. Nice staff, generally not too long of a wait for our meals, and a pretty diverse slate of offerings. Equally solid for eat-in vs. take out, and would recommend just about everything. read more

Had the 2 tamales w/ rice and beans. They only had one choice and it was pork. Masa was super dry and didn't taste good (thrust me I'm mexican). Pretty sure I got really old tamales. Rice was dry and flavor less. Beans were flavorless as well. The only thing good at this place was the smell of the bread but we didn't buy any because they were hard. They used to be good until they expended. Now Sanchez has lost its soul. read more

Welp, for Tigard, it's about as good as it gets. Unfortunately, it's too close to Portland to get away with being as mediocore as it is. Compared to the taco trucks, and even the better restaurants in Portland, this place doesn't compare! So for me, a good mexican resteraunt has to be amazing flavorful, affordable, and have good size portions. The ratio of those three speaks to the quality. The price here was good. $5.50 for a good sized burrito is just as competitive as any other place out there. The quantity is good to, as mentioned everywhere else the burritos are LARGE! The problem comes with quality. If I wanted to eat a half pound of barely flavored rice, I'd go out for Chinese food. The meat, while moderately tasteful, isn't nearly as plentiful as the rice, and it's flavor is largely drowned out. The cilantro and onion are in there, but they're an after thought just cut up and thrown in, not actually used to flavor anything cooked prior to being lumped into the burrito. The red salsa is standard for any taco truck or mid range Mexican place. if you don't even have a red salsa of this quality, you're not even in the same ballgame kids. So yeah, the fat kid will go here since he's stuck in Tigard, but when he wants the flavor. he goes elsewhere! read more

Excellent cake, and excellent customer service. We pre-ordered the cake for a baby shower a week in advance. When we went to pickup it wasn't ready. No biggie, we would come back. But NO they insisted on delivering to our home in Tualatin a few hours later. It got here before the party, AND he refused a tip. I was impressed. And our guests were too by how yummy and moist the cake was. Thanks so much, Renee read more

We tried to eat here yesterday evening but they would not let us site in side, in normal area, because we have a service dog, so we did not get to find out what the food was like. They apparently do not know the ADA laws concerning service dogs. We had to go to another place that did not have any issues with service dogs. read more

Kinda underwhelming: both in flavor, atmosphere, and service. I just go to the Panaderia and grab a half dozen pastries to go. The giant Palmiers are seriously addictive and super cheap (89 cents!) read more

This place is decent overall in terms of prices, service, cleanliness, quality, and taste of food. I tried the huarache ($10, basically a thick tortilla layered with beans, meat, lettuce, avocado, sour cream) since it was one of their two "signature dishes". The quality and taste were just average though, so I didn't feel it was that special of a plate. I also tried two of their tacos ($2.50 each) to get a feel for how well they made those, but these were also just average. Nothing bad, just nothing that was noteworthy about the taste. I'd give it a 3.75 stars. Some side benefits: there's a decent amount of parking, lots of seating, a good selection of drinks, and apparently a bakery in the back. And their red sauce is super spicy - not for the faint of heart. read more

Worst Chicken Taco I have even had. Many people like this place so I don't know if I just had bad chicken or if that is the way "authentic" chicken is suppose to taste... It actually made me gage. My husband had the pork taco and said they were good. Also, no chips and salsa, even to buy. I will choose El Largo in Tualatin for my authentic Mexican next time. read more

I feel like it's very hard to find authentic Mexican food, I'm Mexican and have very high standards when it comes to the food. But this is by far my favorite place to eat in town! I always get the carne asada burritos, and I love it! Everything about this place is amazing! read more

This is a great place but not the place to order a burrito. In fact, I'm still convinced Portland does not have a good burrito. However, on the other hand, this is a GREAT place to get Mexican food, authentic Mexican food. Try a chicken sope. read more

Best SF-style burrito in the Portland area. Worth the mecca trip out to Tigard for these monster sized gut-bombs (you may need a nap afterwards though). For all the years I've been going to this place, I have never tried anything other than the burritos, they're simply too excellent to pass up. The staff is super friendly, and if you follow la Liga MX fútbol, there's a high chance they'll have it up on one of the televisions during soccer season. ¡Viva Sanchez Taqueria! read more
