Casa Sanchez Mexican Food - Ontario

I had always driven past over the years not knowing this gem was available. It was by chance I came with my group as a rest stop and we were pleasantly surprised! Menus, drinks, and meals were received promptly and very well prepared. Follow ups came regularly and requests completed quickly. Now I plan to make this a regular stop whenever possible!

Lived here my whole life and this USED to be the spot. The last two times I 've been here I 'm disappointed with how they up charge and don 't communicate it with the guests. They have size small and large portions for a lot of their items and each time I order something they automatically make it a large and I 'm stuck with the bill. I 've always ordered the small portion. Today I ordered a nacho which is $11, but the bill said it was $17 and some change. I also asked for a side of jalapeño and the bill was an extra $2. A whole $8 up charge on my meal. Ethically the wait staff should be INFORMING customers that 's an extra charge or ASKING would you like small or large? NOT just automatically charging people larges to make more money. This wasn 't the first time they done this. I won 't be going back...

I came with a big group and the food came out fast. The servers were patient with us and the inside was very clean and comfortable. The music was great. All that being said, the food lacked depth of flavor. I got the Chile Colorado and it was more reminiscent of a tomato sauce than a chile base sauce. The rice was well cooked but not flavorful. I truly believe if the plate was spicier it would be so much better. I think this is a fair rating because of the great service but I won't be coming back.

This has been my favorite Mexican restaurant for nearly 30 years. In fact, it was my favorite restaurant of any cuisine hands down for many, many years. It's not exactly the same as in the past but still the best in the area in my opinion. Dining in seems to taste better than to go, so be sure to eat there if you can. It's always nice to see the same friendly, staff that has been there for decades speaks to the ownership. Now onto the food! The BEST salsa ever. I compare every other restaurants' salsa to theirs and nobody comes close. I can eat it by itself. It's not spicy and has a ton of flavor. By the time the meal comes (which is always so fast) I'm usually full on chips and salsa. You have to get the soup, too. Their tortilla is great. I don't eat meat, but my mom always orders the meatball and loves it. She'll order a big batch for pick up when she's sick and it makes her feel better. As for the main dishes, there are a lot of options and all are delicious. You can get a meal for under $20 and portions are so big it's at least two servings. Check out the pic of my burrito. The length is almost as long as a knife and the width is about half of that! You can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Tonight we also got margaritas. $11 and huge. They used to only have wine margaritas but now they're tequila. If you're in the Ontario/Chino area, def check out this mom and pop restaurant for authentic, quality food!

My wife and I had a very nice lunch at Casa Sanchez. We were greeted and seated as soon as we arrived. Our drink order and complementary chips and salsa came quickly. It did take a while for us to be able to place our meal order. We waited no time for our food to arrive, but I requested extra napkins and again had a very long wait for them to arrive. I will say my shrimp meal was delicious as well as my tortilla soup. I loved my meal. Even my refried beans were extra good. However, my wife was not pleased with her Chili Verde meal. She said she has had better. The place was hopping and everyone was waited well by a cheerful staff, nice ambiance. Just a few service lapses. I know we will try the place again as it is very close to our house.
