Chando's Tacos - Sacramento County

Delicious!! I got two Chando?s Tacos, one Asada and one Chicken? They were both AMAZING!! My tacos were loaded with meat and topped with a complimentary amount of salsa. Both the Asada and Chicken meats were juicy and not over-cooked. Everything about my tacos were great and I?ll definitely be back!!

They have a huge dining room. Ordered a three taco combo with Asada, Carnitas, and Cochinita. The bag of chips were large and they gave a side of salsa from behind the counter. The taco 's were seriously over stuffed. My first bite of the the asada taco spilled meat everywhere, but it 's not too often you get too much meat. The carnitas was my favorite of the three, juicy and just a little greasy with fresh flavors. The cochinita had way to much pickled onion but after Iscraped off about half it was great. It looks like they recently added a new Munchies Bar for baked goods, Fruit Salad, and fresh Agua Fresca. The person working the Munchie area brought me over a sample of their fruit salad. The fruitsalad looked great but I 'm not a fan of Tajin so it was not for me.

I ordered a lettuce wrapped fish taco Things I liked: they gave a generous amount of meat. The seating area was spacious. Things to improve: the lettuce wrap used for the shell. It was one very thin lettuce which immediately broke upon picking it up. Basically became a salad. The fish was ok. I ordered grilled fish and it tasted more like steamed/boiled.

I'll admit the food is actually solid. It was everything else that fell short. We came in for the advetized micheladas. Turns out they don't have any at the moment. Then I decided to get cheese dip for my combo, also out. For my fountain drink I grabbed some horchata and was informed they were out of ice, another miss. Finally I sat down and sipped my horchata, not good. It was brown and way over saturated. Disappointing.

I am given it one star because I can't give it zero. I had previously gone to one location once and honestly I didn't know what the fuss was about Chando's Tacos, but they were eatibel not good or great. Now let's come back to this location We ordered the Taco special which gives you 3 tacos chips and pico de gallo. The first taco was al pastor, it was horrible the worst pastor taco I've had in my life the meat was hard, super greasy I am 100% sure the scraped thebottom of the container were the meat was, we couldn't eat them, second taco was birria tacos, dear God the driest birria you would ever see, we couldn't eat them either, and our 3rd tacos were cochinita, those were decent and we were ableeat them. I know I should had immediately gone back and show the manager the kind of pastor and birria we received and we weren't able to eat, but I was beyond upset because I was starving and that's what we got? I know I would have beenrude and would have made a scene being so mad, I threw the food away and will NEVER EVER GO TO ANY CHANDO'S TACOS AGAIN!!!
