Another 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 Lalwani

Hole 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 .

Stephany

They have OG real sugar Mexican coke . Get a fish taco with the habanero salsa .

Luke Bornheimer

Fish 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.

Richard Wu

Try 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 ?

HeyHayleyJane

Chicken 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.

Scott Robertson

The carne asada super burrito is quite tasty and very filling. Is also recommend the fish tacos or the al pastor tacos .

Douglas Gray

The only real taqueria in downtown Palo Alto. Lines are long, but they move quick. Cash only .

Ashley Yue

Fish tacos are yummy so the shrimps one can't really compete! Can easily stuff up your stomach with less than $10

Kul Wadhwa

Everything I've had here has been solid. Hard to go wrong no matter what you order. Note: cash only

Julia Ortega

The 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.

Jeremy O'Briant

Crispy fish taco is great, and huge. One was plenty for me and only $3.95.

Scott Rogers

Best tacos since that place near union square in nyc that was actually from sf.

hartmann schoebel

The tacos pastor, tacos pollo . Fresh corn tortillas . Hone made guacamole .

Tristan Tran

Really good mexican food !!! I took the chicken quesadillas and it was amazing!

Johan Lieu

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 .

Glenn Bray

Heidi McIntosh

Meg

Grilled fish taco , chicken in red sauce taco , and Sierra Nevada on tap ????

Jardson Almeida

I freaking love their "carne asada " burrito (with black beans ).

Steve Sill

The food was tasty and authentic . Will definitely be back.

Kristina

Fish tacos are pretty big, chucks of fish instead of a filet. Decent taco , but the tortillas taste store bought.

Tyler Fox

Not 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.

Nicole Horton

Chorizo tacos , so good! Their bathroom is really nice too

Bernard Mcmanus

Quesodilla are huge with lots of cheese . Great stop and realtor value
