Excellent food, excellent service, extensive menu and a choice of eating inside or outside make this place a top place to eat. Good value across the board.

Tasty, bit slow. Go on Yukon time. Simply delicious authentic Mexican family cooking. Just don't be in a rush.

The food seems very authentic. Located in an old quonset hut the restaurant is cheerful and very busy. I eat here often.

It is always a pleasure to dine here, for the food is consistent and the service outstanding. The atmosphere is a bit crowded, but so is Mexico........ The owner is one of the most hardworking Cook in the business and I have a huge appreciation for here attention to detail......

if you want the real deal made by the people its named after, this is the place for you. You get your choice of how spicy you want or need. Nice outdoor seating when the weather is good

Family run place. The young woman serving food is always smiling and very kind. They have great selection of Mexican beer. The food is absolutely amazing. I've travelled all over Mexico, and this is the real deal!!! I discovered the place in the summer, and I will always make a point of eating here. Be careful, it is so good... More

As mentioned by the previous review, all main dishes looked alike on the menu... More

Last night we visited Sanchez. One thing I can't stand is to pay good money for something I can cook better in my own kitchen. Not only was the menu limited but also confusing as every dish seemed to have exactly the same ingredients making a decision not just hard but somewhat pointless. Where are the prawns, scallops and crab,... More
