On April 28, 2025 we stopped to gamble at bit and wanted to eat dinner. Tried this place and I WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN. Service and food was horrible.

I was really looking forward to eating at this restaurant. I was highly disappointed. The food was mediocre at best. At first I ordered the steak tacos. The steak was tough. I sent it back and ordered the shrimp tacos instead. They were better but I wouldn’t say they were anything special. The tacos came two in one plate. They were tiny tiny. I had also ordered the seared tuna on tostados. They were extremely salty. I am a huge salt person and for me to think something is salty is a big deal.

Now, let’s move onto service. Our waitress was good. She had a wonderful personality. The thing that turned my husband and I off about her was that she had rotten teeth. It is quite unappealing and unappetizing. I don’t understand how management could allow a person with rotten teeth wait on tables. I’m not trying to be judgmental here. I’m just stating that the normal patron does not want to see a mouth of rotten teeth when they are anticipating eating. It’s just wrong especially for a high end restaurant as Johnny Sanchez.

So to summarize my review for this restaurant, I would say that for the price of the items that my husband and I ordered, they were definitely NOT worth the price. I would never eat at another Johnny Sanchez restaurant ever again. The food was definitely not worth the price that we paid. Our waitress having rotten teeth was a HUGE turn off.

During my recent visit to the restaurant just now, I experienced a situation that was quite unexpected and disappointing. Upon arrival, the restaurant was pretty empty, but the host at the front counter did not greet us. After standing at the counter for a few minutes without acknowledgment, the host finally said, "I'll be right with you," before walking away.

Shortly after, another employee approached, and we requested to be seated outside, as we had entered through that area and noticed it was open with pool access where our child had just finished swimming. However, we were informed that seating outside was unavailable. When we inquired why, the employee responded with an indifferent attitude, simply stating, "because it's closed," without further explanation or courtesy.

The unwelcoming energy and lack of hospitality we experienced left us feeling uncomfortable. As a result, we chose not to stay, dine at the establishment, and took our business elsewhere. I have visited this restaurant before and had positive experiences, but today's interaction was concerning enough for me to share this feedback.

Sadly this place is horrible. I have given it 4 tries and each time was a let down. The fajitas always are chewy and the seasoning is some west coast BS lime before grilled. They need to properly learn how to cut fajita meat, it’s always against the grain. All the plates I have tried have been complete let downs.

$90 worth of thr nastiest food I ever tried to get down, tasted soured , only good thing I can say is it looked good until you took a bite. I wouldn't classify this as Mexican food don't waste your money unless you lost a bet to eat the inedible

This is a pretty cool place to have some drinks with friends , I order fish tacos and they were good but WH with those 2 slices of carrots in each taco (2 in the order)not even in juliana cut ,that is not appealing to eat , I give this 7 out of 10 on dish presentation, no mexican does this to a good taco even though they were pretty good . The cherry of the dinner was the queso , salsa and chips they give you to snack on , those were excellents and comes on big portion, drinks are good too.

Oh my goodness, Johnny Sanchez is absolutely incredible! The food is to die for—so fresh, so flavorful, it's pure perfection. And that guacamole? Simply the best I've ever had! The margaritas are strong and delicious, exactly what you want. The service is amazing—attentive and friendly. And don't even get me started on the happy hour—it’s top-notch! If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Eggs Benedict tastes like the muffin was grilled in butter, the ham cooked in butter, the egg covered in hollandaise sauce, that I am completely convinced is just melted butter.

Eggs Benedict was the worst I've had. Tasted like butter with a side of butter and with a butter drizzle. Thank goodness they added a side of the worst part of potatoes.
