Usually stop at this place for a quick lunch. Plenty of seating, never have a problem getting a table. Service is quick and friendly. Def recommend getting the chips & guacamole, birria tacos & churros. Ordered these a few times and it's consistently been delicious!

You MUST get the churros at Pancho's. Hot, crisp, not too sweet, cream-filled, with a delectable chocolate dipping sauce, they were the star of the meal. The fish burrito I got was solid, too, though personally I wish it were cheesier/saucier. The quality of the ingredients and the flavors were pretty good though. Came with fresh, thick tortilla chips and some green salsa and hot sauce. Service was decently friendly and fast. The place is kind of small with only like five tables, and not super decorated, but it gets the job done. Really solid Mexican spot, though with Fishtown prices. The churros are so worth it, though. Please take this as a sign to go try them immediately.

Ordered delivery from here, and the food arrived quickly. Food arrived hot and fresh. Ordered tacos el pastor, beans, and rice. The beans could have used a little more garlic for me, but we're good. Rice was very flavorful. The el pastor was seasoned well and was juicy. Hot sauce was really good - a creeping heat. Would definitely try other items.

Love this place! Could've sworn I wrote a review before. Definitely eaten other things here but these were the only photos that I could find. Usually get the fajitas or some kind of tacos, both are delicious. Brunch here was unexpectedly good...the steak Pancho was my favorite. Meat potatoes and eggs - can't go wrong. Staff here is friendly and attentive and the inside is cozy with fun decor. Great neighborhood spot!

Just ordered al pastor burrito. A fatty mess of a burrito. Usually I'd just eat around it no big deal but it's like every single piece.

This has been our go-to Mexican takeout for years. They have bootstrapped the business from a hole-in-the-wall food counter to a nice little restaurant. The burritos are delicious. So glad to see them thriving.

This review is for birria tacos. In my opinion they were ok, not too flavorful won the salty side

We've been here a few times and it can be pretty good and also lacking at the same time. Once my rice was so over cooked I didn't want to eat it but my enchiladas were amazing with a wonderful sauce and perfectly cooked meat. Then another time my chicken tasted really cheap and rubbery but otherwise good and everything else was spot on. I want to like this place. I do like this place but they are going to need to be consistent to keep me coming back time and time again.

Passed this hole in the wall restaurant so many times and finally tried it! Its location is close to the train station so it is a very convenient fast-casual/take out place. I tried the al pastor tacos especial and the chicken burrito. Out of the two, I liked the chicken burrito better. Large portions for a great price-- about $13 for each entrée. Will definitely return.

I am a native Californian so maybe I'm spoiled with incredible Mexican food, all I can say is this didn't pass the test. I have came here a couple of times due to it being walking distance from my house on wfh days, and each time I eat here the same plate ranges in taste and isn't consistent. The flavor of the food is majorly lacking. I can understand the good reviews as there are seldom any good Mexican spots in Philly and this place is tolerable.I would return if prices were lower as I just paid $44 for two chicken fajita plates which is ABSURD. You can get the same plate in the hood in LA for $12 with 10x the flavor. They also have an 8% tax for credit cards so bring cash... I just found out. A positive is the customer service is nice as well as the vibe inside of the restaurant. Food needs to get better or prices need to come down for me to return.
