5.0 of 5 stars. **Hidden Gem Alert** When Ancho's open 20 some years ago it was an instant success. The food, service, atmosphere, the whole business of treating customers like they were king including the kids, VERY...

3.0 of 5 stars. Food here is good but not great. They seem to know how to cook the food right but they can improve by adding more flavors and seasoning. Maybe its because I do prefer more flavor to my meals if I'm...

3.0 of 5 stars. I think Ancho's has good food, not a must have or anything I would crave. The taco's are made with really good meat. A bit expensive, but tasty. The tortilla's are warm, made fresh, and served piping...

I miss the food

I moved to New York in 1994, and have not been able to eat at Anchos since. It has a most unique and fresh menu that you just can not get back east. I have been searching for fresh flour tortillas for 15 years to no avail. I miss it every day. Pepe , Dean, and Doug run a top notch organization. 5 stars.

4.0 of 5 stars. Just like other yelpers, I am going to rave about the tortillas. Anchos truly has the secret recipe to making the best tortilla. The tortilla is thick and moist...it's almost like a pita bread. The...
