Sanchez Cantina had good Mexican food and good service. It is a small place, and is brightly decorated inside. The folks at Sanchez Cantina make a tasty fresh salsa, and an awesome guacamole. The food is plentiful. The service was friendly, but slow.

Excellent food, excellent service, extensive menu and a choice of eating inside or outside make this place a top place to eat. Good value across the board.

The food seems very authentic. Located in an old quonset hut the restaurant is cheerful and very busy. I eat here often.

Family run place. The young woman serving food is always smiling and very kind. They have great selection of Mexican beer. The food is absolutely amazing. I've travelled all over Mexico, and this is the real deal!!! I discovered the place in the summer, and I will always make a point of eating here. Be careful, it is so good... More

Top notch authentic food. A jewel of Whitehorse. Will come here every time I visit this city. I am from Los Angeles originally, and I can safely say this is among the best Mexican food I have ever had.

The first thing that struck me was the 8$ required to get chips which is usually a free staple of Mexican restaurants across North America.
