Great spot for traditional Mexican Food - I've tried a little bit of everything and everything was excellent . From the chicken wings to quesadillas , it's all fun food ! The atmosphere in the evening is the best , a great Mariachi plays like 3 sets , from about 12 -3am . Lots of creative things happening at chandos where you just can't find anywhere else . Two big thumbs up 👍
The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and happy! I would highly recommend this place! Drinks were also scrumptious!
Three of us decided we wanted to check it out after seeing a friend's picture of her visit. We loved it, enjoying margaritas, the chips and guacamole, and our main entrees. I got the adobada quesadilla and they got the birria tacos & consome. All were delicious and filling, with a good portion in each order. The service was fantastic and attentive from start to finish. A great night of drinks, laughter and good food - definitely recommend.
Great food, friendly service, and really good margaritas. I got the mango margarita this time, highly recommend. Food came out super fast. Thanks again!
The key to enjoying the food here is coming when they are not busy, and believe me, they get busy (especially in the late evening and night). I truly enjoy this place because most of their menu items are plays on Mexican street foods and they also have really good vegetarian options. One of my favorites is the veggie pambazo and veggie mulitas. It's something different than traditional Mexican restaurants, so a must visit!
Their atmosphere is nice, inside it’s cool and dark. My food tasted delicious, lots of flavor. My only complaint is about their salsa, especially the green one it was flat.
Great margaritas…
Great food…
Great outdoor patio, and HUGE!!!
Service was good and we had a great time.
Did I mention the margs were great? And solid size!
The chips and guacamole were very good and had their own flare.
Green enchiladas were very good.
Chicken mole was great!
Highly recommended.
Arrived at this location around 8pm on a Saturday night and there were hardly any people here. They do ID at the door so be prepared. We were seated at a four top table and then the bartender came and asked us to move and offered us a shot if we moved to the bar. We assumed the shot was free since she said if you move, I’ll get you a shot but we were actually charged for it. The drinks were pretty good, the blackberry margarita would be my first choice followed by the strawberry and then watermelon. We order chips and salsa/guac as an app and I do wish they would bring out more chips without charging but the guac was delicious! The nachos were amazing and had all the best toppings (pico, guac, sour cream, cheese and choice of meat). We would definitely try this place again if we were in the area but probably won’t make a special trip there again.
We had our son’s and daughter in law’s rehearsal dinner in the back patio. I cannot say enough about Mario and the kitchen staff, servers and bartenders. They were the easiest to deal with and they anticipated all our needs! Very professional! It was absolutely amazing, beautiful fiesta. The food was second to none. We ordered the homemade churros for dessert and they were fresh and warm. IF you are looking for a place to have a celebration, please look no further. They also allowed us to decorate a few hours before. We were able to hang paper pompoms and unlighted white paper lanterns. The do have the party lights already in place.
Great place to hang out. We had our group lunch and it was great. Lunch menu prices are reasonable. Did ask them to remove the bean and add rice instead but when bill comes, they charge extra for rice. Be good they mentioned extra charge during the taking orders. Beside that every thing is great 👍
I’m pissed !!! my favorite Mexican restaurant is closed down smh they closed the wrong location they should’ve closed down the little one on Arden. This location’s food , drinks, service , and atmosphere is excellent. I use to come here every Tuesday faithfully. Now I gotta find a new taco Tuesday spot smh I’m sad .. Hands down there is no other chandos location better than this one on 15th street downtown sacramento. Ima miss eating here
If you're from Sacramento, you know Chando's. Chando's is a Sacramento staple for tacos & burritos. Their two Cantina locations (one Downtown and one in El Dorado Hills) are full service restaurants with a full bar, a giant fun patio in the back, and a concert hall which features live music, such as banda & mariachi, throughout the week. I ordered the Chando's Chicken Burrito with jack cheese, fresh cilantro, diced onions, creamy guacamole, lettuce, fresh pico-de-gallo, sour cream, and tangy salsa expertly wrapped and rolled into a monster flour tortilla.
