Cameron GarciaJuly 9, 2013Another great spot for fish tacos. Sancho's has gained notoriety for their generous portions and flaming hot habanero salsa. Sancho's takes cash only but there is a Bank of America next door.
Ashok LalwaniDecember 7, 2014Hole in the wall taqueria. Food is really delicious. They have good variety of salsa for different spice levels. Veggie tacos, I ordered, was delicious, very filling with lots of veggies. Cash only.
Luke BornheimerMarch 4, 2015Fish taco (with complimentary chips) is delicious, filling and, at $4.35 after tax, a steal. Best Fish taco I've had. One taco is satisfying, two would make you stuffed.
They have OG real sugar Mexican coke. Get a fish taco with the habanero salsa.
Richard WuJanuary 26, 2019Try other local taco shops. So surprised to hear the hurrah behind their 4 dollar fish tacos— drenched in spicy mayo. And someone called it a “hole in the wall” taqueria?
HeyHayleyJaneMarch 29, 2015Chicken burrito is about 9 outta 10 on the tasty scale. And fish taco IS all it's cracked up to be. Free chips and salsa is a tasty bonus.- The carne asada super burrito is quite tasty and very filling. Is also recommend the fish tacos or the al pastor tacos.
Ashley YueAugust 28, 2014Fish tacos are yummy so the shrimps one can't really compete! Can easily stuff up your stomach with less than $10
Julia OrtegaAugust 5, 2017The fish tacos were good. The surf and turf burrito lacked flavor. Cash only and a little pricey for what it is. And apparently spicy is relative - their hot salsa was mild even for this white girl.
If you're going for lunch M-F, get there at 11:45am so you don't have to wait in the huge lunch line.
The only real taqueria in downtown Palo Alto. Lines are long, but they move quick. Cash only.
hartmann schoebelNovember 11, 2018The tacos pastor, tacos pollo. Fresh corn tortillas. Hone made guacamole.
Tristan TranOctober 26, 2014Really good mexican food!!! I took the chicken quesadillas and it was amazing!
KristinaJanuary 3, 2015Fish tacos are pretty big, chucks of fish instead of a filet. Decent taco, but the tortillas taste store bought.
Kul WadhwaJuly 28, 2012Everything I've had here has been solid. Hard to go wrong no matter what you order. Note: cash only
Tyler FoxJanuary 3, 2015Not bad. But there are better taquerias in the Mission. And obviously can't compare to the more authentic San Diego offerings. Fish taco was just OK, fish wasn't crispy. Flour tortillas not great.
Bernard McmanusNovember 9, 2014Quesodilla are huge with lots of cheese. Great stop and realtor value
- Jeremy O'BriantAugust 13, 2014Crispy fish taco is great, and huge. One was plenty for me and only $3.95.
Reims ReimersJune 15, 2016Try the chorizo in your next taco, burrito or quesadilla. Also, cash only.
Scott RogersMarch 14, 2014Best tacos since that place near union square in nyc that was actually from sf.
Eat the Fish or Shrimp tacos with the hottest sauce they offer to cry tears of joy and pain.
I think everything here is good but the shrimp quesadillas are incredible.
The carne asada quesadilla is absolutely delicious and you should try it.
Albert FinnJune 13, 2011Good. I big burrito, but got two large fat chunks. Very good salsa and free chips!
- Get the habeñero salsa. It'll burn your face off but is sooo worth it!
- Mark DavisJanuary 28, 2012One of the tastier veggie burritos I've had. Actual grilled veggies inside even.
Once you try the chili verde, it's hard to get anything else.
