One of my favorite taco spots on the Westbank! It's tucked away on a corner in what looks like a little shack, and it's mainly a takeout spot. They have a few benches if you want to sit and eat, but I'd recommend taking your food to go. Definitely try calling ahead to place your order. Sometimes they don't answer the phone, but it's worth trying because the food can take a while to prepare. The wait is worth it, though, and this is definitely one of my go-to spots for tacos! read more

Taqueria Sanchez - Mexican Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

I ordered the "quesabirria" for delivery and it was soooo delicious. It's the only Mexican restaurant I've found (so far) in New Orleans that has shredded beef. I even resorted to making my own thinking it just wasn't a thing here. I will definitely be a repeat customer read more

I used to love going to this place every now and then to get their steak burritos. Last time I ordered it, not only did I not receive my order but I also found an artery in my food. read more

This is a place I'm just coming back to after a long hiatus. Honestly I don't know why I stopped going, and I'm kicking myself for every time I chose something else. Had a barbacoa burrito the size of my arm, with some of the spiciest sauce around. The best foods are the ones you wear around after, and I had to wash my hands and arms twice to get all of that goodness that ran down! read more

Food was salty and overpriced. Their aguas frescas were good though. There is no parking so you have to park across the street.

This place was recommended to me by one of my colleagues. It definitely did not disappoint. I ordered the popusas, and they were a good size and delicious. It took about 10mins for them to prepare them. I wasn't aware that they automatically gave you one with meat and one without. My preference would have been both with meat, but I will have to ask about that next. I definitely will be going back to try more items on the menu! read more

The food has an authentic taste definitely a grab and go type of situation. The prices do not reflect the quesadilla that I bought because literally it was just cheese and I still got charged $15. I understand if it would've been Carne Asada quesadilla then at least with the meat, it would've been worth the $15 but they should really reconsider what they just charge for a cheese quesadilla read more

I always see a line outside of this Taqueria, so it was time to investigate for myself. We ordered, 4 fajita(carne asada) tacos, a chicken quesadilla, a fajita burrito and and an chicken enchilada plate. The total came to 36$, amazing. There's a limited outside seating area and a small stand table, if you're ready to grab a quick bite and run. I noticed traditional Mexican soft drinks available for sale, but our group opted to take ours to go. The beef tacos were a delicious street variety that I love and featured two hot sauces. Standard, double corn tortilla with cilantro and onion. Add hot sauce and a squeeze of lime and kapow! Your on the streets of Mexico. The burrito and quesadilla loaded with meat and cheese disappeared in no time flat. Questions regarding the doses were met with slurps, grunts and head nods. Jack happily said the quesadilla was very cheesy. Here comes the wah-wah.....When I opened the enchilada plate box, there were no enchiladas, only rice, beans and a salad. Insert crying face here. We were too far away to go back and I double checked the math. Yep they charged me. I'm super chill and mistakes happen. I communicated in broken Spanish, so I could have checked myself. Luckily, we ordered extra tacos, so I had something to eat. I was a happy camper, just slightly bummed. I'll still be back for tacos, but I'm gonna try the tongue next time......that's my favorite. read more

No where on menu is it mentioned that there is a 3.5% charge for using a debit card, and the waitress did not mention it when picking up the card for payment. We prefer to pay cash when we're aware of the choice. We didn't enjoy the non-traditional take on the food. Cafeteria style ambiance / setting was not appealing. read more

Really fast, made to order, authentic Mexican food. I got the steak quesadilla and they give you a lot plus the toppings. I've had the tacos before and they are great also. My only con is that they do not season the meat. Maybe they once did and got complaints. They give you salt packs. If that is the case then I guess nothing to change, if the majority said it's too much seasoning. I'll be trying the burrito and breakfast next. read more

Taqueria Sanchez - Steak Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

While I find the food quite good, it's very expensive for a road side taco stand. $14 for a single burrito is pretty outrageous. To note, pre-COVID, a burrito was $8. I get the prices are increasing, but a 75% increase? read more

This spot is an authentic taqueria. Food is made to order. Lunch hour can be busy, so plan at least for ten minute wait for your food. read more

Taqueria Sanchez - Taqueria spot near Hone Depot. - Mexican Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

The best food is made with love, and the chicken tastes like all the love in the world goes into it. I could tell just from driving by this place that it was good. It is a humble building on the side of the road that always has at least a handful of people hovering around the window. Go there and order chicken tacos or a chicken burrito and you will be cared for very kindly. Please do not try to customize your order. Just let them make your food how it's supposed to be made. The fewer the words exchanged, the better. If your order costs $9, tip them at least $3. Karma will put even more love into the food. That is exactly how this works, trust me. read more

As a westbank native, I have passed this place THOUSANDS of times and never tried it lol. I'm happy to report that this place is a solid taco spot. The food is fresh and budget friendly - I mean, who can beat $3 tacos, especially in this economy. I walked up to order, and I waited about 10 mins for my food so the service was quick. The ambiance is definitely a grab and go type of situation with only street parking. Overall, happy I tried them. I will be going back for a quick cheap lunch/ dinner on the go. read more

We stopped by this taco stand on a whim and we were not disappointed. We ordered 3 different types of tacos...chicken, beef, and pork. All three were delicious...on corn tortillas, filled with pico and cilantro. We also ordered a beef and chicken combo burrito and split it. It was also fantastic. The prices were great too. I will definitely go back. read more

This is a little roadside stand on the Westbank Expressway. Not a sit down restaurant. There are a couple of seats and a counter to eat at if you're in a hurry. Maybe 10 things on the handwritten menu taped to the glass. THE FOOD: I just tried a couple of carne asada tacos. Came with a lime wedge and salsa verde. I gotta say, lots of flavor in the meat. Delicious char flavor. The salsa was also awesome. Heat, savory, great. $5.00 for the tacos. THIS is a great little quick eats place. Gonna try some other menu items next time! read more

Good, cheap and authentic Mexican cuisine! This is a hole in the wall taco stand that I always pass by and never thought to try until a friend raved about it on social media. Today I finally got the chance to try it out. After browsing through Yelp reviews, I decided on the steak quesadillas and my husband got the chicken taco and a burrito. The burrito was tasty but don't expect your typical beans and rice inside. He liked the taco and we both liked the steak quesadilla. It had tender steak with great flavor and the perfect amount of cheese on a perfectly toasted tortilla. I added avocados and jalapeños to it when I got home and it was perfect. Our total was $18 and we couldn't finish our food because the portions were so big. Would definitely reorder. read more

Great food all around !! Tortas Tacos Burritos Everything you could want from a taqueria read more

This walk up restaurant serves authentic Mexican food. Located half a block from Home Depot, this place gets a steady walk up business from the day laborers near the store. The menu is a bit confusing since I don't speak Spanish fluently, but I managed. Both times I went I ordered some type of soft taco/burrito thing. Both times were with chicken, unless polo means something else. The food is very good. My meals came with a side of salsa that was spicy and delicious. Don't be intimidated by the appearance of this place. The food is very good. You wont be disappointed. read more

Five stars across the board. This little hole in the wall serves some of the BEST authentic Mexican food. They open early and close late. You can't sit inside but you can sit or stand outside of the building. The food is fairly priced for the large portions they serve. My favorite would be the steak quesadillas! It's loaded with steak and cheese. The service is quick so you won't be waiting long. Please give this place a try if you're ever on the westbank! read more

Taqueria Sanchez - Mexican Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

Taqueria Sanchez is the very first place that I had ever eaten authentic Mexican food from. It was not at this location, but rather a Taqueria Sanchez food truck in New Orleans East. I have been to all locations are they are all really similar. Before eating Authentic Mexican food, I was eating tacos and burritos from Taco Bell thinking that was what Mexican food was like. When my brother took me to the food truck when I was younger, I instantly fell in love with it! I had to find more places like it! Though I would find a lot of places with Authentic Mexican, Taqueria Sanchez always has a special place in my heart. Over the years, I usually just order tacos at Mexican Food Trucks and Restaurants. I rarely order Burritos or Quesadillas anymore, but I decided to order a burrito during my recent visit to Taqueria Sanchez. I ordered a Lengua Burrito, Lengua Tacos, and a Pupusa. Food did not take too long to come out and they all looked amazing! The burrito was just as good as I remembered and especially delicious with the included salsa verde! Everything else was good too, but the burrito was the star of the show. Overall, a great place to get authentic Mexican! It is more of a grab and go place, but there are some stools to enjoy your food at this little building. There is no need to wait til Taco Tuesday to enjoy delicious tacos, just stop by Taqueria Sanchez! read more

Being born and raised in California I have had my fair share of great Mexican food. If you like Mexican food and want the authentic experience make your way over her as soon as you can. The parking is a little tricky due to the location but pop that mask on and walk across the street and order the carne asada tacos and a cold coke. You won't regret it. Nothing fancy nothing modern just excellent home cooking. read more

I come from California/ Los Angeles were you find the best Mexican Food.! And let me tell you that I haven't had good tacos ever since I moved to Louisiana but this place hits the spot! I love the Tacos best tacos I've had in Louisiana ever!!! Love tacos de tripa and lengua delicious!! This place wins all around.! No chilangos, ni tacos el DF! This little tiny spot has great food! read more

Overpriced food that gets little amounts. They overprice it because construction workers seek jobs near there and they don't know any better than to get the nearest food. My dad is a fool for getting food here. The shack is decrepit and they never do anything special with it. Also they changed management, it ain't the same people that used to give a lot of food, just some new greedy, mean attitude owners. read more

Use to be my go to taco place, but unfortunately they seem to have issues with employees. One visit will be great and the next one will suck. Very inconsistent. Normally the green sauce is mild and the red sauce very spicy. Last visit I found they had mixed them up so the green sauce was super spicy and the red was mild. I'm done with them. read more

From San Diego, CA, where we reign champions of these type of restaurants. Best you're gonna get in NO.

I just moved here from Los Angeles, CA. So you know, I know good Mexican food. I had a carne asada taco, which was pretty darn close to LA. Granted you have to eat it with the cilantro and onion for all the flavor. I also got the chicken enchilada combo. The rice has little to no flavor, but the beans are pretty good. The enchiladas are extremely salty, but good enough. read more

Wow. Autentico! Great pupusas and I'm from Los Angeles and love pupusas. We also had pastor, asada, and chicken tacos, tasty meat, perfect salsa, cilantro, onion, just right... friendly calm customers, and hard working humble people behind the counter. Horchata delicious too. Will be back!! read more

Frequent visitor to this place. Easy but not quick, I've had long waits but it's worth it. I usually get the tacos (carne asada, Barbacoa, lengua, pastor -- all great), baleda con todo and pupusas. Be prepared to be patient and understanding, you'll be rewarded. read more

I used to be a regular at TS at least 2 times a week at most over the past 3 years. There must have been a major change with new management and employees. I would usually order the Carne asada tacos which at first were really good and I would recommend enthusiastically to anyone, but there has been an extreme decline in the quality of food. I've tried to go back multiple times and consistently got bad quality food. The beef is over dried and it taste like cheap McCormick seasonings. This used to be a spot for the best tacos on the WB. It has completely lost its authenticity I can confidently say I would never spend another dollar at this location or any other for that matter. Please avoid or find another authentic Mexican taco location. read more

I was so happy that I decided to try out this taco stop! Though it's awkwardly placed, this place provides you with some of the most authentic Mexican food you will find in New Orleans/Gretna! I hadn't found a place that reminded me of the authentic Mexican food in Houston but THIS TAQUERIA IS IT! You won't be disappointed. read more

I don't know why I never wrote about this place sooner, I have been here sooo many times and I'm never disappointed. This has to be my favorite authentic mexican spot in maybe all of the city. I always used to think why are people huddling around a sketchy looking hut. BUT do not judge a book by its cover because this place has my favorite authentic tacos and quesadillas. The steak quesadilla is a must have. The thing that makes this place stand out the most to me is the salsa. I think it is a creamy salsa verde of some kind I don't really know but it is a GAME CHANGER. Not to mention how affordable the food is too. I could spend less than $10 here and still walk away satisfied. read more

Being from California originally, and a die hard taqueria Guerrero devotee, I had high hopes for this spot due to the hype and cult following. A side by side comparison follows. Definitely solid but Guerrero still beats a couple of metrics here. The green salsa is better at Guerrero (i have been known to buy it by the pint), and the portions are bigger there too. Sanchez does have chunkier, less greasy carne asada, a lighter sour cream, and super fresh veggies, and the flour tortilla enveloping the burrito was damn tasty. All in all, a solid taqueria, but a bit overhyped IMO. A good choice for the westbank but not worth a drive in and of itself. If you're looking for a hearty and solid meal this will def hit the spot, but the cult devotion is misplaced. read more

Nice little taco stand on the West Bank. Quick service, decent prices. Got some delicious pupusas and a pretty good al pastor burrito. I would like to go back to try their tacos as they look like traditional street taco. They have lengua, which is one of my favorite meats Gotta give taqueria sanchez a big thumbs up as some of the best Mexican/Latin American food I've had in New Orleans read more

Stopped in to try the tacos after some beyond belief hype and it was just as advertised. I got the barbacoa tacos and they were absolutely the best tacos I've had in New Orleans. The beef was tender and flavorful absolutely perfect. Cant wait to go back and try more. Don't come here if your not used to real Mexican food if your used to americanized crap this is not the place for you. read more

Have been going here since I was a kid. It is not that pretty or a fancy place at all but it is a classic spot for authentic Mexican food that has stayed consistent for over twenty years now. Great especially for when you don't have too much time or want a quick bite! read more

This is really good street food !!! The pork tacos are to die for !! I was not a fan of the quesadilla but I'm not a big steak person but they are really sloppily made which I think is authentic if you like that kind of style. My first bite into the taco changed my life. I didn't know who I was before I tried this place. I have passed this place up thinking it was rat & roach infested cheap nasty food but oh boy was I wrong.. read more

I ordered chicken pork and tongue. All delish!! Try them! It looks sketchy but they were pretty quick and tasty. read more
