El Sancho Burrito Shop (Aka Runaround Sue)

Advertisements

What can I say about El Sancho, they are a favorite spot here in our family, they have 2 locations (*wink wink*) and a couple food carts scattered around town and serve up some tasty food, and have fun atmosphere’s at their locations.

So when we heard they were opening up a pop up shop close by, I was instructed that we were having some take out from there this weekend. Yes instructed…

Lunch: Well what do you think we got? lol.

Shrimp Fajita Burrito ($15) What can i say, it was so good apparently I couldn’t even get a bite. It also went by so fast, the camera couldn’t catch up with it.

Pork Chili Verde Burrito

Pork Chili Verde Burrito ($14) Well this is what I got, and it was pretty good, the pork wasn’t quite melt in your mouth, and it came with plain white rice, with a side of lettuce, pico, sour cream, and guac on a home made tortilla. I can’t say I was super impressed with it, it was a better value than the Skin Inn Taphouse, but not quite as flavorful. Overall though, it was a tasty burrito.

The pop up also featured a home made salsa bar, most of them were hot or spicy salsa’s, so i opted for the avocado salsa which I thought wouldn’t be on that scale, but was i wrong, it had some heat to it!

I love what El Sancho is doing with this pop up shop, unfortunately we missed the first two, but won’t miss any more going forward. I rexamend you find a location while in town, you won’t be disappointed!

Ski Inn Taphouse Hotel

Sunset View

We decided to take a day trip to McDowell Creek Falls on my day off for a little hike (I’ll save you a review on that as it’s not in Central Oregon) but on our way there we decided that we had to try the new Ski Inn Taphouse in Sisters, Oregon. We drive to the valley via Hwy 20 & 22 many times as I grew up in the valley and my mom still lives there, and we’ve watched as they have transformed this spot into the Taphouse.

As you know, I’m a big beer fan, and we were met with an online menu system via a QR Code to get started. I settled on a nice dark beer that unfortunately was on a tap that blew earlier that day. There wasn’t much on the menu local that I hadn’t tried already, so I settled in on a Cider.

Cider: English Pub 7.5% from Portland Cider Co ($6). A nice pint of tart crisp cider was just what I needed after a nice hike at the falls. Check out my full review on Untapped. Check out their full drink menu here.

Dinner: We decided to split dinner with two entrees Pulled Pork Sando ($17) & Chili Verde Burrito ($18).

Pulled Pork Sando ($17)

The Pulled Pork Sando came with a side of fries or coleslaw, I was pretty disappointed that the sandwich didn’t come with anything besides pork and the bun, having the coleslaw on the burger in addition to the fries would have gave it a nice contrast to the softness of the sandwich.The bbq sauce was enjoyable and the bread roll was well put together. The fries were cooked perfectly crispy and were seasoned well, i enjoyed them.

Chili Verde Burrito ($18).

The Chili Verde Burrito came with a side salad which was nicely sized with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. The burrito itself we asked for pico on the side (cilantro soap genes) and received the sour cream and guac on the side as well and it came topped with sliced jalapeños. The Verde sauce was very mild, and the pork was beyond fork tender. This was the favorite dish of the two in my opinion, but I’d say that neither were $17-18 dollar dishes and were priced a little high for the quality.

For a Taphouse I’d have to say that their food and drink menu were a little lackluster from expectations, but their outdoor seating and environment will keep people coming through the doors.
