Reviews for Chando’s Cantina in Sacramento, CA
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 movedto 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 wasdelicious! The nachos were amazing and had all the best toppings (pico, guac, sour cream, cheese and choice of meat). We woulddefinitely try this place again if we were in the area but probably won’t make a special trip there again. Read more
So I must say this place is absolutely wonderful. They slightly messed up my order but were so kind and quick to fix it! I’m... so impressed by their service. The general manager Mariano was so helpful and nice. He is a great manager and even gave aspecial drink on the house while I waited. Thank you guys for the good food and service! Read more
It was a poor experience. I have not been in a couple years. On previous trips the food was really good. On this trip I... ordered the loaded fries and 6 chicken wings. The fries were so covered in liquid cheese that they had lost their crunchiness. They were like eating mashed potatoes. The wings were very over cooked making the tough and dry. I will not be going backunless someone who's food taste is like mine says they have good cook again. Read more
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 alsohave really good vegetarian options. One of my favorites is the veggie pambazo and veggie mulitas. It's something different thantraditional Mexican restaurants, so a must visit! Read more
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 wasabsolutely amazing, beautiful fiesta. The food was second to none. We ordered the homemade churros for dessert and they werefresh and warm. IF you are looking for a place to have a celebration, please look no further. They also allowed us to decorate afew hours before. We were able to hang paper pompoms and unlighted white paper lanterns. The do have the party lights already inplace. Read more
This was my 1st time visiting the establishment. My waitress was super nice. The margaritas were so delicious. The live... entertainment was great! The food was good! The reason for the 1-star review reasons is as follows: 1. The bill listed gratity18% for a party of 6. We were a party of 4! 2. The owner sent over 4 shots (we did not order); those 4 shots were ADDED to ourbill. Incredibly offensive. 3. The bill itemized thing's that we did not order. Such as puree that was in the drinks and theliquor that went into the drink. Shots that no one had ordered. I guess that's why the drinks did not have a price as the drinkswere itemized, depending upon what you ordered. The whole bill situation was very unsettling. I was just thinking I wonder howmany other people this has happened to. This was my first and last time to ever visit this establishment. I have never felt sooffended on my birthday. Read more
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 verygood. Chicken mole was great! Highly recommended. Read more
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. Read more
