Los Tacos de Sanchez — Restaurant in Renton

I ordered two orders of they're nachos asada to go. I live very close by and so I didn't take me long to get there. I was told to wait just inside the door and they would bring my food momentarily. This unfortunately was not exactly what happened and what impressed me is how distressed the staff seemed to be that my order did not come almost immediately to me. The result was that the owner actually got involved to get me my food as quickly as he could. So, while the service was not prompt, they worked as hard as they could to make it right and I very much appreciated it. It also didn't help that it was delicious. and some of the best nachos I've ever had. More businesses should take note of their handling of customers in which they could be bad for their image. They took a negative and turned it into a positive just by how they reacted to a slow kitchen staff without saying anything to me other than sorry. Because, it was very obvious that they were sorry for the time it had taken and didn't just say it out of a sense of obligation.

I would also tell people to only pay attention to the menu pictures and not the menu listed by Google. The one that says they have chimichangas. They don't. In fact the menu listed by Google is...

Not consistent. Some days, the tacos are better than others. On the Weekends they try to run two different businesses. Cash outside only but if you want to pay with card you have to go inside to pay which is why traffic thru the front door is a problem. You can order tacos and more inside and be served on a ceramic plate vs a paper plate and be offered chips with salsa. Two different clientele under once roof. Confusing atmosphere. Placed my last order on 5/12/23 togo. Not impressed tacos were completely different and not good. They cost $5/ tacos for a "bigger" homemade tortilla that supposedly holds more meat. Not true they were the same size as the corn tortillas. Will definitely not be back. I'll stick with the real "Maestro" of tacos! Also a 32 oz beer will run you $20. Save...

Tucked in the corner of a small strip mall behind a gas station. Easy to miss, deceptively sizable restaurant upon entry. Variety of salsas taste sharp, bright, smoky, and spicy. The habenero and light red salsa are both stand outs. Ordered tacos - pastor, lengua, pollo, octopus. Yup, octopus. They have the pork on a spit cooking outside, all meat varieties were delicious. Only complaint was the requirement to order 3 of the tentacle tacos when I only wanted to try one. Octopus was nicely cooked with a slight char. I would've appreciated a rough chop into easier traversal to mouth sized pieces, but all in all, hard to complain. I'll be back to try other dishes. Great service on a busy Sunday....
