Tacos panchito

(5 out of 5) This place is fire, best tacos I've had so far in SJ... as of 1/9/2025. Super super good, onions on the side also super good, not just grilled you can tell it was cooked with the meat juices lol! Quesadilla needed more meat in it, but I could've asked for extra. Horchata was really good as well, one of the beats I've had. Open super late (1am) even on a Wednesday!! Music was good, dope energy When you come tell them Rothyy sent you!

I was craving a burrito at 12:30am on a Monday night so I searched what's open and found this truck only a few miles away. I did not have my hopes up because I've seen food trucks on Yelp in the past that either were not open as late as Yelp suggested or were no longer at the address! Luckily, this place was still open when I arrived at 12:50.I ordered a lengua burrito for $14 and asked for a side of jalapeños which were of no charge. They have one standard burrito that most restaurants would call a "super": meat, rice, beans, onions, cream, cheese and avocado.The burrito is pretty phat! I'd say about 1/5 larger than your avg. The tender lengua and the other ingredients (I opt out of cream) combined for a delicious burrito. It's a pretty straight forward, solid ass burrito! A burrito sounds simple but I think we all know it is not haha Most restaurants I go to might have great meat but their rice and beans are only decent, or they may have great side ingredients but the meat is too chewy, bland or dry, or they will add too much of one ingredient that over/underwhelms the experience like too much rice or cheese, etc. It's not often you find a restaurant where each ingredient is solid on its own and balanced together for a delicious meal. The only other one I can think of that does burritos well in this regard is Jalisco Taqueria, my fave.Jalapeños were delicious as well! They are the narrower and longer kind; charred but still maintained some crunch and decent kick. They were slightly salted which I've never had before but I appreciated it. Besides the amazing burrito and great jalapeños, the sauces were only decent. I don't know if maybe it was cause I came so late but the orange sauce didn't taste as vibrant or fresh as I'd expect and the red salsa was so-so.All in all, I'd definitely come back for another burrito! It's great to have found a closer alternative to my favorite spot that opens later and is less busy. The size is also larger than Jalisco's large burrito. I didn't take any photos because well, it's a burrito hahaha didn't have a good photo opp after digging in either

The best place for fresh hand made tacos late night! Forsure recommend. I order off of DoorDash and they provided all the sides without me requesting such as grilled onions, limes, cucumbers and sauce!

Huge burrito. Insanely yummy. Asked for extra meat, no beans. Al pastor burrito. Nice self service sauce bar outside too.

One of the benefits of living in south San Jose is the abundance of Mexican food options. Our family decided to have some street tacos for dinner on Saturday night and tacos Panchito delivered. Fresh made tortillas and carne asada cooked over a charcoal grill is the perfect ingredient for a delicious taco. Does not accept credit card. They only take cash or Zelle. Workers do not speak English, but we spoke enough Spanish to order what we wanted... "dos carne asada taco, dos al pastor taco, etc". Friendly staff and great atmosphere for enjoying street tacos on a Saturday night is South San Jose.

STARS: 4.5MENU AND FOOD: Tacos Panchito offers a variety of Mexican favorites with a rather wide selection of meats. They also have agua frescas, which are not always on display or on their menu.SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE: Service is quick and efficient. They have a few tables set up in front of their truck.PARKING: They have a few a parking spots onsite.IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: We always come for their tacos, which are served with hand made tortillas! My favorite part was their self service salsa bar, which came with onions, cilantro, cucumbers, radishes, salsas, lime, pickled vegetables and jalepenos, and even beans! However, after witnessing customers abusing this feature, they have since taken it away. Their meats are well made and pair well with their red/green salsas.

Just stumbled upon the best late night fast Mexican food! This taco spot is right on Monterey Rd. and stays open until 1AM. We decided to try both the tacos and burrito with lengua and carne asada meat. The lengua was so juicy and tender and it was overall one of the best I've had. The carne asada was a little more dry but still enjoyable. Also, the tacos do come with cucumbers and radishes which are always a bonus for me! The burrito was filled with beans, meat, cheese, avocado, and rice and was very delicious. I also really recommend the pina agua fresca. I love how there is no pulp and just the right amount of sweetness. My favorite part about this place is that when you dine outside in their seating area, they give you bottles of sauce to you with it. The habenero sauce is good but the avocado sauce is perfect! Just the right amount of heat and flavor. We've been here twice and both times the service was great and very fast. I love how they have a couple tables with lights outside to enjoy your meal comfortably. This place is great for a quick and delicious meal. This will definitely be my new go to late night Mexican spot!

New Fav Spot! Burritos are huge!! Portioned well! The carne asada is good, did not run into any fatty pieces. Tacos are right there too.. salsas are good too, enjoyed the red one. will be back!

Tacos Panchito is Bomb.com this place never lets me down. I always get their tacos steak/chicken and it's also flavorful and delicious. Plus is that they hand make their tortillas which takes tacos up a notch. They also have nice selection of Tortas I want to try, but those tacos are so good I always just stick to my usual. They have a salsa bar with different variety of salas, the habanero and avocado salsa are excellent like other reviews mentioned on here. I usually go here late nights 1AM and they have condiment station to build your tacos along side salsa bar that's great. Where you can add grilled onions, beans, cucumber/radishes this is always a plus for me. Pricing isn't too bad either for quality and taste, there are several other taco stands along this road but this one is the best by far.

The super asada burrito is fire, it's flavor and a decent portion. The grilled onions and jalapeños and the salsas are all good.
