Sancho's Taqueria — Restaurant in Palo Alto

RUDE REGISTER GUY! OVER PRICED and certainly NOT authentic Mexican food.

Ordered over the phone and the order taker was so rude and talked over me as I was giving my order. I wasn't confident he got the order right and sure enough he didn't. At pick-up, the register guy (same man) was extremely rude! He barked at me with an attitude when I asked how much the burrito was since the price was higher than their online menu. I get it that food prices go up but there's no need to raise your voice and rudely attack your inquisitive customer. He said with a nasty tone "So you want it or not!!"

With disbelief I just turned and walked out. Apparently his rudeness is an issue as others have posted reviews saying the same thing. PLUS, I should have known not to come back and try it again after the last bad experience getting a tasteless burrito a few months ago. Definitely NOT authentic Mexican. Sancho's was good years ago but has gone way down in quality and especially service over the past year.

I went down the street to a really good Mexican restaurant with kind service.

Beware of Sanchos Taqueria on Lytton...

We visited this place after reading glowing things on Yelp!

Yelp! Needs to have a subset of reviews that are written under the influence of drugs or alcohol (another drug, I know, but...) or both (yes, I know, redundant, but....)

I am convinced that most of the reviews written for at least this place were penned by a stoned or otherwise inebriated hand.

The food was sub-par. My burrito was cold in some places, and there were bits of bone throughout. One of the staff yelled at me and a few other diners to depart in 2 minutes so she could clean, even though we were waiting....and waiting patiently....for the food we had just paid for. Apparently they were closing up for the night.

I dunno. I don't smoke at all, and I don't drink enough to where I'll ever consider returning. If you're looking for sub-par, tasteless munchies this might suffice but I'm pretty sure Jack in the Box would be better. And no one's going to yell at you...

Naturally when I came to California on a business trip, I knew the one thing I needed to get was authentic Mexican food. I headed to downtown Palo Alto after a long day of meetings, parked, and Yelped for Mexican food. The first thing that popped up was Sancho's Taqueria.

I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu. There are so many options! It was a tough choice, but I eventually settled on a super burrito ($8.85). I ordered it with carnitas, grabbed my number, and sat down at a table. Not even 5 minutes later, my food arrived. This was indeed a super burrito. Served with sour cream, salsa, pico de gallo, cheese, and guacamole, this burrito was massive. I was only able to finish about half before I wrapped the rest up to save for later. I thought it was delicious, especially with the flavorful carnitas paired with all the essentials of a good...
