    For a solid meal that is consistently good, Sancho's Tacos is the place. It's a casual spot in the great surf town of San Clemente. Enjoy the relaxed vibe with great artwork and good food!

    Here again for the Sawed Off Breakfast Burrito with sausage. Always friendly staff taking your order. They added a full bar which takes up a lot of room, but will be fun to order and sit outside. The Wife and I will have to try it some time. Adds to the funky vibe that is always here. Sawed Off burrito with sausage does not disappoint. Eggs, sausage,potatoes and cheese. All wrapped in a tortilla that is nicely grilled. That last point is my requirement for a top notch breakfast burrito. The tortilla must be grilled. This version of the SOBB was a bit greasy and I have not experienced that before. Little wipe of a napkin and we were fine. As always, this is a significant size burrito and gives me two breakfasts! Go! Eat Well!! HAVE FUN!!!

    Who needs love when you have 5150 sauce??? That stuff is addictive. Sancho's was an amazing spot for me in SC. A beautiful patio that is always jumping with a crazy eclectic interior. It's biker meets alice in wonderland, idk lol. In any case, THEIR TORTILLAS ARE TRANSLUCENT, a must for any good burrito. The only gripe i had was there was not a ton of chicken, and the chicken was awesome! Cmon, gimme my protein haha. Workers were awesome, vibes were awesome, and 5150 is still being dreamt of. As a matter of fact I may order some online right now!

    The new and improved Sancho's is here! Full bar, new tables, Same happening beach vibes. I gave a 4 star because I don't like that it seems most items on menu went up about $1 since the remodel. I would have been ok with my $2.50 taco Tuesday deal but now it's $3.50. Still a great veggie taco like absolutely loaded and delicious but I would prefer it be sautéed with less oil on it though. Will need o remember next time around to request that. Nice seeing the same friendly faces.

    Exited the freeway to find something quick to eat and decided to give this taco spot a try. So glad we did! We ordered the OG (beef tritip) the Yardbird (chicken breast) and the grilled fish taco. Everything was delicious. Their Chubbie sauce is slightly sweet which offers a different flavor and makes it taste that much more interesting. Prices for the ala carts tacos range from $6-9. There was a young man working behind the counter and running food orders and he was awesome.

    Not your typical breakfast burrito place. This burrito is da-BOMB! So good! Piping hot with melted cheese inside & outside toasty.

    Went in craving some good tacos, wasn't prepared to have my mind blown. The staff are super helpful and quick with the orders, and the decorations are insane.

    Complimentary Churros, thanks Mario!

    Walked in on the only day of the year it rains in SoCal, and since most of their seating is outside we were worried we couldn't eat here. The guy at the bar was kind enough to recommend some picks, which were fantastic. We had the Surf n Turf Burrito, Chicken Quesadillas, CaliGuey Burrito and a chicken taco. The burritos and quesadillas were a little too salty, but the flavors were great!

    Sanchos Tacos is a chain that has several locations across Orange County. They do have a couple decent dishes. The burritos and tacos usually come out hot and ready to eat. Give it a shot if you're in the area. Cheers!

    If you want some really good tacos I highly recommend Santo's tacos! I have only had the tacos so far but the burritos look really good. It's a casual restaurant where you order at the register and then they bring you your food. They do have beer and margaritas as shown by the fabulous monkey! (Photo) the interiors are spectacular. It's a chaotic graffiti vibe, but fits this restaurant to a T. Just FYI, there are multiple Sancho's tacos and all are slightly different in decor.

    Honestly, best service and gotta give a big shoutout to Mario for the best margaritas in town, hands down! Love Sanchos for their food but been coming in more often due to the full bar opening! Great service & vibes!!

    My boyfriend raves about Sancho's Tacos. We ended up going there for a breakfast burrito one of our mornings. We just got a Sawed Off Burrito which consisted of eggs, potatoes, cheese, & bacon. I was hoping I would be able to pick out the bacon for this but it was pretty spread throughout the burrito so I ended up just eating it with the bacon. It had really good flavor. The tortilla was really soft as well. We ordered 2 salsas on the side. We tried the green salsa & the Chubbie salsa. The Chubbie salsa was a sweet salsa, it was cool to try for sure but I don't think I could have a lot of this. I liked the green sauce! This would definitely be my go to salsa between these two salsas. Service was quick. This place is decorated very uniquely. It was a really cool place to go to & check out. There was graffiti all over the walls but chandeliers hanging from the ceilings. Really cool vibes.

    Sancho's Tacos.

    I love this place very much because the food here is delicious, great service and nice ambiance, too.

My last day in town, I spoke with the wait staff and let them know what a great job they are doing; They were friendly and so grateful. The food was delicious and so delightful.

My daughters got a Nutella crêpe and berries and cream crêpe. Both were delicious and a good portion size. Their sourdough toast with jam was a favorite of ours, we got it every single time we went.

I wish I did sooner! I past by this place on my way to work every day. Literally. Its on route for me and I never thought to myself to eat breakfast here nor check it out, I know on the days when I head back home it's always pack and people be waiting for a table. And that's on a sunny day. Well I was wrong for thinking oh it wouldn't be crowded on a rainy day. NOPE. I was sooooo wrong. It was PACKED and busy. Ain't even the rain gonna stop people to get some good food. What supposed to be a long day at work, tournament was cancelled last minutes and my staff was really bummed because we did travel to work. (I work two jobs and the other is a bit of commute to get to) so with that I was thinking, heck, it's still early in the morning (7am on sunday, a rainy sunday) and suggested breakfast. A bit of yelp search, i stumbled on Antoine's and saw a couple of Elites reviewed and ask my staff if they wanted to eat here. Took less than a couple of second but everyone agreed. By the time we got there (around 10am) it was packed and the rain was just picking up because before we got here, the car in front of us hydroplane and skid off the road and hit the curb. Yet, this place was still pack and parking was full. (We found street parking near Starbucks) I had my staff placed our name down since she lives closer, but they won't see you until all your party is here and that's fine. We ended up seating at the bar and left the booth for other parties. Love the teamwork, the staff were super stars doing a rush like that, let me tell you it PACKED HOUSE and we got our food and drinks on time, no one in my party had to wait to eat and I forgot to take pictures of my staff meals, only took mines and what I got for the table to share was a croissant french toast, which I believe was their special of the day. I got the chicken fried steak and the portion are MASSIVE!!! All of us took our food home because the portion size are insanely big and bang for the buck!! Great place to eat breakfast or brunch or even a 'Team Building Breakfast Time' LOL Just happy to treating out my amazing staff on their work.

We were actually able to snatch a spot on Valentine's Day morning, which I was honestly surprised about. We came in around 9:30 AM and there was already a waitlist, but the wait wasn't bad at all only about 10 minutes. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The vibe is very much your classic neighborhood café not super modern or trendy, but more homey, cozy, and family-friendly. It really feels like the kind of spot that locals go to all the time. We ordered the Nutella crêpe, the biscuits and gravy (which came with sausage and hash browns), and an omelet filled with goat cheese, turkey, and spinach. Everything was delicious. The portions were solid and the quality was really great. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Pricing is pretty average, around $16 to $23 depending on what you order but for the quality and portion sizes, it's definitely worth it. Overall, I would highly recommend stopping by if you're in San Clemente and looking for a casual, cozy breakfast spot to start your morning.
