First here, will absolutely come again when close to the area. My husband ordered the Al pastor burrito, our friends had another burrito and torta, and I had the Panchito shrimp quesadilla. They are lactose intolerant so they requested no cheese. While eating the burrito, our friend noticed small white pieces in the guacamole- turns out the cook likes to add cotija in their guacamole which was the first time we had ever heard of. When brought to the attention of the server/cashier/owner?, he immediately apologized and redid both of their orders with avocado instead of guacamole. If you're lactose intolerant just beware of the guac! Besides chips and salsa, they also give you a little side of frijoles puercos. They were DELICIOUS. Their salsas- some of the best I've had in a while at a Mexican restaurant. They have a few for those that don't do spicy, and a few for us that love spice! And not only were they spicy, but they actually had flavor to them. Chips were also pretty solid. The shrimp quesadilla was on the greasy side, but very good. I felt full after finishing one but shortly after was hungry. I'd do the 3 quesadilla order next time (better value) and share the third if too much.The establishment is on the smaller side, but with a good amount of tables and booths. They were also playing Mexican music that just reminded me of childhood weekend mornings with my parents. Looking forward to coming back!Muchas gracias por su atención y rica comida!

This place is GOOD. I would definitely give it a solid 4.5! It's very unassuming and we've passed this place for years but haven't stopped in until our neighbors told us that they had a great experience at this place. We popped in on a random Thursday night and the place was quiet, the staff greeted us upon entry and immediately took our order. We ordered a burrito with chile verde and a chicken taco. There was a short wait so we opted to grab a drink at the bar on the corner and the staff was so sweet and offered to bring our food to us. The food was good! The service was good! They had a decent salsa bar.PARKING: They have a shared parking lot but you won't have a problem finding a spot. We will be back to try more items!

4.5 stars. Humble hole-in-the-wall place in a nondescript location. Friendly, smiling greeting and service.$16 barbacoa plate in a 20 ounce bowl of broth is flavorful. Sides of beans, rice and tortillas make this meal gigantic in size. I can eat like a hungry horse and did not finish the beans and rice. Barbara reports that her crunchy carnitas taco was equally delicious.Small salsa self serve bar has all the required various sauces and pickled vegetables. Most of the salsas are mild, there are two that have some fire. Tastiest pico de gallo I've enjoyed in a while.Dining room is clean enough. Formica tables and about 25 chairs.I like. Try this place I'm sure that you will like it, too.

Amazing food, cooks from his heart which is greatly missing at other Mexican restaurants. Owners are really nice folks and treat their employees well. See you soon.

First, the service was amazing! The lady working the counter was so attentive and extremely helpful in answering all our questions since it was everyone's first time eating here. The restaurant is small inside a tiny strip mall but sometimes the best Mexican food are hole in the walls. I got the mini chimichangas which were delicious. The tortillas were nice and crunchy and cooked to perfection. I think the spicy shrimp or chicken were my favorite paired with a creamy cilantro sauce. I wasn't a big fan of their beans or carnitas but I think it was the spices they used to cook them in which is why I didn't give them 5 stars.

Don't walk-- run to Panchito Mexican Restaurant! I'm from San Diego so I know good Mexican food when I taste it and this is it! The street taco plate and chicken verde enchiladas were on point. The service is also amazing, everyone was so sweet and checked in on us while we were eating! Chips and bean dip on the house as well as a fully loaded salsa bar. Everything was 10/10, support this local spot, you won't regret it!!

I ate lunch on a Monday, noon time. The restaurant was clean, service friendly and the food was good (and budget friendly). There were 2 of us and we ordered a Taquitos plate (Barbacoa beef) and an enchiladas plate with red sauce. The portions were filling and the beans and rice tasty. We will definitely return to enjoy lunch again.

Stopped for lunch w Panchito on the route between South Bay and Tahoe. Our family ordered a chicken burrito, chicken quesadilla, carnitas and al pastor tacos and carne asada taco salad. It was all fresh and delicious and reasonably priced. Pancbito's reputation is well deserved, we have a new go-to stop on this route!
