Casa Sanchez

I have never been inside the restaurant, so this review is specific to their products. I have purchased their pupusas many times from several different stores in the North Bay over the past several years (including several different Whole Foods locations). Although the pupusas are excellent when fresh, the reason I’m giving one star is that more often than not (at least 75% of the time), the pupusas come out of the package covered in mold. I don’t get it. I have tried buying them from different stores, I have asked the stores to tell me how long the product was on the shelf (it’s always in the refrigerator section), and have checked for expiration dates. The current package I have has an expiration date of 7÷24÷15, and yet the pupusas were covered in spores before the package was even opened (see photos). This is not only horrifying, but is a huge waste of money at $ 10 a package. I appreciate that they are preservative-​free, but this is unacceptable, and they really need to find a way to fix this problem. Maybe they’re not refrigerated during the distribution process? Or maybe the company way overestimated the expiration dates? Whatever it is, I’m going to show these photos to all the stores from which I have purchased these, and ask them to stop carrying them until the mold issue is addressed. I guarantee I’m not the only person this has happened to.

BEST Chips and Salsa!
My wife and I got paired up with Bob (Route Driver for Casa Sanchez) and his son Mike at Apple Mountain Golf Course. Mike recommended we stop by Safeway in Pollock Pines. CA. and pick up some Casa Sanchez Salsa. He said it was the best, and he is right. We bought the Medium Salsa Roja along with a bag of Thin & Light Delgados Tortilla Chips. It was the perfect snack after 18 holes. Goes great with Pliny the Elder IPA.

This place was super dirty. Silverware, tables, everything. I ordered chicken mole and it was awful. Mole was bitter, chicken was not tender… the only thing I ate was the rice and beans. Many better places to get great Mexican Food in the mission.

Best salsa you can buy at any store. The company is also family owned and close knit. So happy Casa Sanchez is in my life!

Just an update on this — I moved this review over to the actual restaurant’s site… yeah, I didn’t realize they had a site on here, I guess I didn’t see it when I searched for Casa Sanchez. I only found this one. I don’t see a way to delete this one though. Muh bad.

Oh yes thank you. Thank you God, for this blessed dwelling. They treat you like a king or possibly factory owner at Casa Sanchez. You can get all the good stuff here because they just have it man. All the tongue and cheek you can purchase, my friends. I tell you. You will come here. You will enjoy the food. Parking is good. Don’t walk at night maybe. No offense.

Disclaimer, I would have rated them a 5 only a couple of months ago, but they changed their chips. Why oh why did you do this? You had the best chips in the market aisle. Now they’re just like everything else; and worse, they’re overpriced for what they are now. Thank god your salsa is still the bomb. Please bring back your old chips though.

Thanks to Costco — we bought some cheese pupusa’s here — dang! those are friggen addictive.
Warmed up, with nice melty cheese on the inside — we do like em.
Kinda pricey so okay to buy once in a while.

Loved the out door old fashion feel of the patio. Took a friend and we had a delightful lucnh with over flowing chips and sals… My tacos were perfect and my friend loved his Chili Reneno Burrito. The service was great and the guy ran to and fro to make sure we got everything we needed in record time… Muy Bueno !!!

Best chips & salsa in the game, and I mean that in the most objective, least Frisco-​centric way I can muster. I prefer the Mild Salsa Rojo, just because I can cram more of it into my chip-​hole without having to take a breather. The Hot Salsa Rojo is equally delicious, but sweatily true to its name. Pico de Gallo is also great for throwing on tacos and stuff.
I’ve done a head-​to-​head chip-​off between the Delgados and the Gruesos (the Hatfields & McCoys of the House of Sanchez), and Gruesos were the hands-​down favorite of every participant. Gruesos are the «thick & crispy» variety, though the actual difference in thickness between the two is pretty negligible. Following the law of Less is More, they’re just stone-​ground corn, canola oil, lime, and sea salt. Keep it simple, stupid. I’d give them 6 stars if I could open the goddamn bag without ripping it halfway down the side. It never fails.

I love Casa Sanchez chips and salsa! I am a huge fan of the Salsa Rojo (I can eat this in one sitting fo reals!) and the «thick and crispy» tortilla chips. Casa Sanchez is the only brand of chips and salsa I buy when i’m craving chips and salsa. Trust me, I crave it ALOT. YUMM!

My friends and I enjoy the Mild Salsa Roja produced by Casa Sanchez. You can buy this Salsa at Safeway. This Salsa has the Yellow and Black Label. I can’t confirm that this is part of any restaurant chain.
It’s slightly spicey with a tiny bite to it. It’s good for most people to eat that don’t react to salsa’s on a normal basis.
This from their website:

when it comes to food, i’m a believer in moderation. this is how i can eat anything i want and stay somewhat slim. well, moderation, meet chips and salsa. they are my ultimate weakness. if they’re in front me, i must eat them. there has been many times where i spent an entire day eating nothing but chips and salsa. actually, the chips are good, but it’s the salsa that i really truly love. a great salsa is like great sex with a great woman you love. you just can’t get enough. you want more and more and more and more… both can be quite addictive. in saying that, imho, casa sanchez is the best salsa in town, especially the hot salsa roja. it’s better than whole foods, trade joe’s, papalote, pancho villa, la corneta… and the best thing about casa sanchez is that it’s located right here in san francisco. damn, i’m so lucky to live here.
if you hate me, just keep serving chips and salsa and watch me balloon up right in front of you.
