Sancho's Gunbarrel Mexican Restaurant

Dined 4x during my 1-week stay for business travel.
Tried every restaurant in the immediate vicinity of Hampton Inn and I can say Sancho's is my favorite.
Love the ambiance and the menu.
Will come back if given another chance.

We stop in north boulder to meet the kids.
They know their mama LOVES Mexican food so they pick Sanchos (hubby suffers but goes along like a champ!).
It's in a strip mall and not large.
You order off the menu which reminds me of La Estrella in Larryville.
I choose a Colorado burrito (choice of meat, beans, sour cream, guac, onions) with side of refried beans, margarita, guacamole and chips and hubby orders 2 chicken tamales and a Modelo Especial.
Kids order their faves and (how sweet) they offer to pay!!!! PUT YOUR CARD AWAY! MOM'S HERE! ☺️ we get our drinks and sit down at a no frills table and chairs.
Food arrives via server (please tip at the register) and WOW, all my senses are tingling and jingling with bated breath.
The burrito is a medley of everything I love: gooey cheese, hot sour cream and guacamole and spicy beans with a hint of "salsa-fied" chicken.
Just makes my tingling and jingling intensify.
Magnificent! The guacamole is probably a 4 out of 5.
I've had better.
It is homemade but there's no lime taste.
The chips were fantastic! When I bit into one it broke off immediately with a light salty taste instead of eating it like it was on an assembly line to get the full flavor.
This delivered in one bite.
My margarita? Ok, I've had some damn good ones.
Folks, this was out of a dispenser (normally UGH).
Whoever made the batch should be canonized.
Full on taste the tequila before I tasted the lemon-lime mixer.
Seriously, quite the surprise.
Hubby's 2 chicken tamales were excellent-HE SHARED! doughy outer layer with an inner tender, moist chicken wrapped in the traditional husks.
Prices are very affordable.
The atmosphere is cafeteria tables and chairs and no music nor frills.
While I enjoy atmosphere, I truly enjoy a food atmosphere more.
This place is absolutely worth visiting if you're in the area.
And if you're staying in the area book a room at twin lakes Boulder Inn.
Perfect combo!

Parking situation is nice and easy.
Big parking lot which was convenient to get in and out of.
The Birria tacos were so amazing.
I couldn’t stop thinking about them after eating them.
Very comforting and well balanced.
Some of the best Birria tacos I’ve had in the state hands down! The margarita was decent.
Definitely will be back for more tacos.
The inside was chill with plenty of seating and comfy.
Bodies by farny approved tacos for sure!!!!
