    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

The steak was tender and full of flavor, and the bowl featured a great combination of fresh ingredients. I also tried the Mexican Candy cocktail, perfectly blending sweet, spicy, and refreshing flavors. The vibe was lively, the restaurant was spotless, and the staff were friendly and quick. It's an excellent choice for lunch or dinner with family and friends. I can't wait to explore more of their menu on my next visit!

    This review for Asada is long overdue. I really love their food and cocktails here (especially the…read moreMexican Candy!) and while I've had some things that weren't my favorite, everything I've tried has been delicious. One of my favorite appetizers here are their bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers served with a blackberry jam and pickled onions...I get this pretty much every time. Lately I've been coming on Tuesdays to take advantage of their all-day Happy Hour, which is one of the best in town. Crispy carnitas tacos and the hibiscus margaritas are my go-to's, and the fresh chips and salsa served gratis are always delicious and hot. I wanted to take a moment to shout out their fantastic team of servers and bussers especially. Luna, Lindsay and Cesar have all been exceptional servers; their knowledge of the menu and their genuine kindness makes our visits that much more memorable. I don't often catch the name of the bussers, but they are extremely good at what they do. There's a few restaurants in town that hire staff and don't seem to train them well, so they struggle and it's apparent... but that's not the case here at Asada, where everyone is professional and really go above and beyond. It's easy to see how well their service flows (although the host stand could benefit from having people who are more outgoing; they seem to have timid people up there a lot, and it can be awkward when they're too timid to properly greet guests--just something I've noticed, having worked in restaurants before I tend to be hyper-aware of such things). My favorite section to get seated is the booths near the back which tend to be quieter, and also offer a nice view of the sky during the sunset and evening hours especially.

Also, wow, San Clemente runs on a different clock. I don't know if it's just the beach or what, but service was so slow in that specific "I'm out of my tax bracket" kind of way. CHIPS WITH SALSA & FRIJOLES: 5/5. Generally not a frijoles person, but this one was good. BIRRIA TACOS: 5/5. Flavor was good, smoky. PORK BELLY: 3/5. Dry. Tortillas & sauces saved it. OCTOPUS: 1/5. This was definitely the culprit, as my partner and I shared every dish... except this one. I suspect it was the salad, since the octopus was fully cooked, and most food poisoning cases are from mishandled produce, which seems like a failure at a very basic level.

Mama Avila's soup which came with chicken and lots of other things, and a tortilla. All 3 were delicious and filling. I always get a two taco combo plate since I love this meal, and to compare to other restaurants. This was great. The tacos perfect and flavorful. We will come back. Next time I will order the fajitas. I believe this is a chain with like 10 stores or so, so check to see if any are in your area. A very nice lunch with two fine lady friends as well. Thx Rafael for always checking on us and the iced teas to go.

I get a bag of cheese from Ralphs to do the modification of having a crispy cheese crust and that made the burrito into a 9.2 out of 10.
