This is my first time at this joint, so my review might change after a couple more visits.
Ok, so I've read some of the reviews, both + and -, and this is my take: Food: 4.5 Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 4 Pricing: 5+ I was surprised to find out the lady taking the order didn't speak Spanish. No biggie, i ordered the #1 combo to test the waters. Ordered the combo and a drink for less than most places charge, which was a delightful transaction. Off the bat, my taco was already broken but still held on its own. The cheese enchilada was good, although it could've been a little more melty on the cheese. The rice and beans were good, not to dry not too soggy. The salsas were actually flavorful. Both red and green salsas weren't very spicy, but they have a hotter habanero (if you ask). Overall, it's an excellent place, especially the pricing of what you get for what you pay. I came in the morning, so it wasn't a packed. Good place to eat by yourself or with a couple of friends; but no large crowds Parking might be a little crowded.

My wife and I order the #2 combo plate. It had a horrible taste and it was cold inside of the enchilada & chile relleno. But it was hot outside. So I went to the counter to explain to a young guy about the food. He only offered to put it in the microwave. Am like really. He also responded (it is what it is). Bad customer service. Everyone that works there seems unhappy and no pride in their work ethic. This place needs work. They just lost a customer and a member of the community for there bad service.

It's so sad that we're in 2024 and you go to a taco shop and order a $11.00 dollar burrito with extra toppings that they charged extra for. And paid for them and then you ask for some extra salsas and you get denied because they can only give 3 for order ? shame on them my family and friends & I would never be back to this place even though we're locals. If anyone is new to the area of Imperial Beach and want to eat some really good mexican food. Please make sure to not go to DON PANCHO'S. Please try "Tacos el Trompo" they're just a few blocks down and let me tell you they don't ever skip on extra meat and all the extra salsa you want at no cost to you ?. It's and awesome place to grab a quick bite to eat. Super clean and friendly.

Love coming here, but every time you have the young man at the window, 4:05 on 8/27, he likes to be stingy with the salsa!! Why??? Every other person gives me what I ask for, except him. They even give out carrots, jalapeños , and occasionally chips. I will no longer make a purchase if I see him!

Flew in from FL and hadn't eaten all day. I got 3 tacos and was completely stuffed. Amazing food and very fast service.
The best taco shop has now become the worst. This is what happens when rude kids run this shop. I’ve been eating here for 6 years. This is how my food has been looking lately. The boy cashier is the rudest boy ever! He seems annoyed to be working there. Please give your business to someone else. Not these rude people.

Don Pancho's is a staple in IB. Fantastic tacos, burritos, sides and some of the best horchata in San Diego.
