    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!

    Breakfast burritos are even better at the beach

    Never disappoints, always delicious, packed with flavor in each bite, worth my buck and good sized portioned breakfast chorizo burritos and a carnitas burrito. Helpful customer service, and cool ambiance. We have eaten several times at the HB location, always fabulous!

    New bar!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Asada is what happens when Mexican food puts on a nice shirt and decides to go out for the evening…read more The food is excellent, although don't come expecting your traditional neighborhood taco shop. The dishes are creative, upscale, and very well done. It's a little on the pricey side, but the quality is there, so you don't feel too bad about it until the credit card notification shows up. The bar is one of the highlights. Great drinks and even better bartenders who actually know what they're doing. We've been here several times, and the service has always been fantastic--friendly, attentive, and consistent. If you want traditional Mexican food, there are plenty of other choices. If you want really good Mexican-inspired food, a great cocktail, and a fun night out, Asada is definitely worth a visit. Just don't expect taco-truck prices. Apparently, nice shirts cost extra.

Right off the bat, I loved the vibe and ambiance of the space; it had more of an intimate feel to it with all the dim lighting, but not too dim that you couldn't see your food anymore. It was also clean and well ventilated. Service was top notch--absolutely no complaints there. Our server made sure we were attended to during our entire meal. He was nice, friendly and was very kind enough to share his recommendations. The food was okay. It's definitely an elevated Mexican restaurant, but the dishes were a bit of a hit or miss. What we tried: House Chips & Salsa - 5/5 Filet Mignon Tacos - 4.5/5 Signature Carne Asada - 4.5/5 Crispy Carnitas - 3.5/5 House Made Horchata - 3/5 We loved the complimentary chips & salsa they serve you while you wait for your order--their salsa was the BOMB. I was also very happy with my Filet Mignon Tacos and the Signature Carne Asada--the steaks were cooked to perfection in both dishes. They were so delicious and every bite was just *chef's kiss*. The Crispy Carnitas was kinda meh though. It was tasty, but the pork was tough and dry, making it a little hard to eat. I wasn't a big fan of their horchata either--it had this chalky/powdery texture that didn't sit right with me. It tasted good, just not the texture for me. Overall, I think we're still quite happy with our experience here. I would love to try their other dishes for sure.

Our waiter was awesome and we had a great experience all around! Plenty of dining space indoor and outdoor, parking can get tough given the area so keep that in mind.

Among the meats are asada, adobado, birria, chicharon and sometimes buche. Daily taco price is $1.49 but on Tuesdays and Fridays, tacos are 69¢. They have a very good chile relleno as well.
