Taqueria Sanchez

Probably one of the best «Mexican» food corner places that you can find in the area. Their fajitas are on point, tortillas and gorditas are good. Their lemonade and horchata drinks are awesome. For the price, definitely worth every single cent you spend. Have eaten food from this place 3 times already, and is the same every time.

great traditional mexican tacos. lengua were my favorite

Excellent, authentic food. but be forewarned. .. this is just a stand. Orders are «to go» only!

We ordered two Fajita Tacos and a Steak Burrito… The tacos were absolutely amazing…
The Burrito was just ok… A little over seasoned but still eatable…
Haven’t had tacos that good since our last trip to Mexico…

Stopped in to try the tacos after some beyond belief hype and it was just as advertised. I got the barbacoa tacos and they were absolutely the best tacos I’ve had in New Orleans. The beef was tender and flavorful absolutely perfect. Cant wait to go back and try more. Don’t come here if your not used to real Mexican food if your used to americanized crap this is not the place for you.

Tried 3 times to find this place. Have not succeeded and given up.
UPDATE: AH! Don’t rely on the directions that Unilocal will give via the maps because it had me totally driving in circles! Finally found it and will definitely try it out tomorrow! I will update the review then!
Totally went today and they are delicious. Price has changed to $ 2.50/taco but they were tasty. I ordered chicken pork and tongue. All delish! Try them! It looks sketchy but they were pretty quick and tasty.

I’ve eaten at a lot of taquerias. from the restaurants. to the little trailers/​taco stands, and hole in the walls. from cali to texas. even in mexico. This joint was average. It’s good, but it didn’t have all the little side stuff like radishes, jalapeños, and carrots. I give it 3 stars.

Ever since my boyfriend introduced me to tacos (carne asada with cilantro, onions (raw or grilled), and lime) I’ve been looking all over the new orleans area for tacos that are similar to what I had eaten in the Rio Grande Valley (Mission, Tx). I prefer my tacos with flour tortillas, homemade of course. Taqueria Sanchez makes their own tortillas, at least it taste like it’s not from the super market. So I had my bf tell me how to order 3 fajita tacos with cilantro and onions in spanish. Oh it was so exciting ordering it in spanish!!! They got the order right! I ordered 4 tacos. Let me tell you, I think these are the BEST TACOS I HAD IN NEW ORLEANS. I went to El Gato Negro and it was good/​pricey, but Taqueria Sanchez was better and only $ 2.25 for a flour taco!!! Can someone please contact the owner of taqueria sanchez and ask them if they can serve «Botanas,» you will not be disappointed!!!
If you are into the TEX MEX stuff, this is NOT for you. I find the same people complaining about «authentic» foods on Unilocal.It’s not tex mexyy enough for them… Any way you have to eat here with an unbiased view. This is the legit tacos you will get when you travel to Mexico or if you happen to visit the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, youll find lots of places like taqueria sanchez!!!
I will definitely be back and next time I’m taking my boyfriend so he can do the ordering!!!

Amazing tacos. Everything we’ve tried here is excellent! The prices are low too. A definite must if you’re looking for authentic Hispanic food.

Stopped here for some quick take out this evening. I am a convinced fan now. Grabbed 2 of each taco except the tongue (never been a fan) and a Baleada. Stuffed now but already imagining what my next order is going to be.
If you’re passing by and hungry, give this place a chance.

This may be the sketchiest taco stand around. They dont speak any english not even numbers so come prepared to use sign language or bring a bilingual friend.
They were out of ceviche, my guess is that they only make it on certain days. We got chicken tacos and steak tacos. Requested avocado which they didnt have. $ 25 for 10 tacos. They are served with a green sauce and a red sauce. The green is much more spicy but flavorful. The steak was seasoned well and tender. The chicken was pretty bland. I ended up pouring on the green sauce.
I was hoping to have a solid late night quick taco spot. This isnt it.

Taqueria Sanchez is definitely a hole in the wall. As another reviewer said however, a hole in the wall can equal feasting opportunity. «Dirty» Sanchez’ looks like it hasn’t been scrubbed down, ever… but that means years of accumulated flavors. ¡que sabor! The first time I went I was kind of shocked when the tab for 2 people was $ 25. They had recently whited-​out all the prices on the menu so it was a known gamble, but it was a BOATLOAD of food. We were not disappointed, and muy delicioso! This is the closest I’ve found to a Texas or California style taco shop in NOLA and is a great addition. Just note that it’s take out only unless you want to eat

This small taco stand is delicious. I have had several thing from there but I think the best are the burritos. The tortas are bread heavy and need more meat. Tacos are fantastic. They don’t speak much English but I think you can manage pollo burrito.

It’s like a snoball stand for mexican food but the tacos are fantastic.
Worth eating in your car.

There are two types of people in this world. The ones who look at a hole in the wall taco stand and think «ew gross, no way» and the ones who think «this looks amazing.»
If you’re in the amazing camp, where you should be if you know good Latin food from Taco Bell, this is your joint. The food is more Honduran/​Guatemalan than Mexican and delicious. Occasionally you can get menudo on Sunday, and lengua is a meat option which are both great signs of an authentic joint. The cilantro salsa verde is great too. My boyfriend is from Los Angeles and quite possibly the world’s biggest taco snob, and he loves this place.
Try: tacos if you’re on the cheap, tortas if you’re hungry.

I ordered a chicken quesadilla because i had heard they were good from this small little taco stand in the Westbank. The wait was a little bit long but the quesadilla itself was quite good. I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit this place but if you’re in the area I would stop by.

This used to be my favorite burrito place until they over cooked my carne asada. Then I found La Conquistadora Restaurant just down the road. They cooked it properly. Same owners, better cook.

This place is located in a small little snack stand of a structure and you can only order Mexican food to go at the walk up window. It has tiny little tacos just like the kind you get out of a real Mexican taco truck except they are less good than most I’ve ever had out of those trucks. I got the chicken tacos and they were way more dry and flavorless than most any other I’ve had. I think the tacos at Taqueria Guerrero are much better for this «authentic» style of Mexican taco. I’ve only had the tacos and usually the only time I’m in this area I’m heading to 9 Roses for some phở so given the choice between these tacos and phở I will go phở nearly every time. Phở sure!

Finally got a chance to try this stand after a month of living on the West Bank and pointing at it when we went by.
Me: We HAVE to try this place!
The GIrly: I KNOW. you say that EVERY time we go by, sheesh.
Me: But what I’m trying to say is… We HAVE to try this place!
The Girly: *Eye roll*
So yeah… that’s usually how it goes.
Yesterday, after a morning spent trying to build a porch railing for our new house, the Girly actually asked if I’d like to stop there.
Boy Would I!, I says.
Good…and stop calling me boy.
The girly wanted 3 beef tacos and that was it. She is used to the ho-​hum tacos around the area so wasn’t exactly thinking this would be a runaway.
I ordered one Chicherone, one pork and one lingua.
Total 13 bucks.
Note: even though it’s pretty much a food stand, their prices are about even with what you would pay at a restaurant.
I think we found the most authentic and best tasting regular tacos around. I still think Taceaux Loceaux has the best taceaux, period, but for Authentic tacos, these were awesome.
Both the green and red hot sauces were fantastic and a shot of lime juice set the entire thing off. So good.
The girly ranked them up there with the holy grail of tacos for her… a little place in North Carolina called Papas and Beer. And that’s saying something for her to like a place enough to put it on par with that place.
Oh.and while it looked like they piled on the cilantro, it was mostly parsley and a nice mild cilantro. So even though it usually tastes like soap to me, these just tasted clean and fresh.
We really can not wait to go back.

This walk up restaurant serves authentic Mexican food. Located half a block from Home Depot, this place gets a steady walk up business from the day laborers near the store.
The menu is a bit confusing since I don’t speak Spanish fluently, but I managed. Both times I went I ordered some type of soft taco/​burrito thing. Both times were with chicken, unless polo means something else. The food is very good. My meals came with a side of salsa that was spicy and delicious.
Don’t be intimidated by the appearance of this place. The food is very good. You wont be disappointed.
