The best Mexican restaurant north of 60. The atmosphere is quaint, the food is authentic and delicious. A neat vibe and absolutely delicious. One of the must places to eat in Yukon. They close in December for the season

Fabulous food, fabulous service, fabulous atmosphere, a favorite for sure!
Update October 2025: the team at Sanchez continues to provide the warmest service, delicious food and makes special occasions (and an every day drop in) such a treat. Mucho gracias team Sanchez. We really appreciate you all!

Amazing staff, service, food and atmosphere. The team at Sanchez was welcoming and helpful and accommodating. There are gluten-free and dairy free choices and it was all so delicious!

Enjoyed an evening meal on the patio at this charming, delicious cantina. Started with chorizo queso and the salsa which were both delicious. The roasted salsa for my American friends is a more blended salsa while the other is more pico. The steak burrito was excellent as was the traditional margarita. Casandra was helpful, engaging, and efficient. Highly recommend.

Still my favourite Mexican place in town. The best part is seeing the owner still being around after so many years.

One of the best Mexican restaurants we've ever been too! The food was outstanding, the staff were super friendly, a great patio, overall a great experience. We had the carne tampiqueno steak special, the nachos, the gringa and the burrito, all were excellent. The next time we're back in Whitehorse, we'll be back!

All 9 of us were disappointed with the quality and quantity of the food, despite the high prices. We waited 90 minutes for dinner, which wouldn't have been too bad if the drinks had been good. The nachos were good - every chip had a topping on it. The decor was also nice.

Honestly, the service was excellent and the ambience was lovely. The value of the food is 2stars, but the quality of the food is 3stars. The margaritas and sangrias were terrible, the worst I've ever had; they were way too sweet with very little alcohol. Seems like they just used fruit juice and a sweetener to make their drinks. The sangria was so sweet it was unbearable to drink unless you diluted it with water.

I was here 10yrs ago and remember how much I LOVED this place. At that time they did make the best sangria. So needless to say my crew of 9 friends were disappointed.

Waited 2hrs for our meal, had reservations for 4. Waitress asks if it’s on 1 bill or separate and how I would like to pay. We didn’t get our main meal yet. I asked for compensation, maybe dessert, answer was NO! They gave us like 5 chips with a very small bowl of salsa to tied us over till our meal was made. Sorry but I couldn’t tip. Good food, shitty service. This place will be word of mouth and won’t be good.
