This review is based solely on the experience, food taste and customer service. Bare with me for a thorough review which will most likely convince some. First off, when entering Los Panchos we were kindly greeted by the cashier worker named Teresa who had a warm smile and radiant energy. When looking at the menu we were a bit taken back with all the options they had yet happy that they had plenty of variety. We asked Teresa a few questions about some of their menu items and she was very helpful and informative in answering. My husband ordered himself a Caldo de 7 mares ( 7 seafood soup) and a 3 "mini" tacos plate which came with TJ style tacos of asada, adobada and cabeza. I had their 5 crunchy rolled taquitos and chose the fish taquitos and also for 2 "mini" tacos or asada and adobada. My daughter got the Carne Asada fries, my youngest got the kids bean and cheese burrito plate with a side of french fries. And we ordered our baby the kids chicken taco with rice and beans. A lot of food. Yes but oh so worth it!!!!! Teresa gave us little cups of bean soup with tortilla chips as a starter? Now starting with my husbands order, the 3 "mini" tacos are about the size of a big palm, double tortilla, loaded to the brim with delicious, well seasoned meat, and guacamole! You can literally make 2 tacos out of 1, and his plate came with 3. Pictures are inserted for reference and deliciousness. But the star here is truly the Caldo de 7 mares!!! It left us in awe at how delicious, fresh and authentic it tasted. The soup had a variety of different seafood like jaiba, fish, shrimp, clams, octupus, crab leg and I know there was more. My husband literally said it tasted as good as his parents home state of Chapala, Jalisco Mexico and that's big coming from him?? I wished I had ordered myself a bowl of that! It literally left our taste buds in heaven. Now my order was good, the taquitos of fish had a nice crunch along with a white mayo sauce and loaded with cabbage and pico slaw. Very tasty for seafood lovers. And portions are huge?? Same for my "mini" tacos, very delicious and well seasoned meat. Now my daughters order of the asada fries were a show stopper, the french fries OMG where nice, hot and crispy!!! You don't find places who have fries like that anymore, but these fries were topped with a cheese sauce, guacamole, onions, tomatoes, sour cream and meat! They were astounding. Getting a bite of everything incorporated was like a bang or so many delightful flavors all at once!!! My youngest is a super picky eater and she loved her little bean a cheese burrito but she couldn't stop raving about the fries!? My baby's chicken taco was super moist, well seasoned and big as well. Which is a plus because it serves as lunch and dinner? Rice and beans were good as well, I could tell since my baby kept asking for more. All in all this place is amazing! The food, service and atmosphere are incredible! I hope the owner takes great pride in knowing his cooks have golden hands that make wonderful authentic mexican food, and his front staff Teresa and another young gal are very welcoming and kind. I'd give them a raise if they were my workers cause you don't find staff like this anymore. Eating here honestly felt like home away from home. I recommend anyone to try this place out. There is something for everyone! You will not regret it! Thank you Los Panchos Tacos???
Food was amazing!!! The cabeza was so tender and flavorful! Rice and beans was good. Got the cabeza tacos and surf and Turf quesadilla. Will be going back.

Hidden Gem ?Great food and great prices!!I had to try it all?
I don’t normally like to complain and usually enjoy my food but really don’t want anyone to go through the disappointment. First off the girl at the register you could barely hear her. Their birria is not good very grisly. Asada was ok. The beans are just like canned refried beans and the rice was absolutely disgusting. Prices were way too high for food quality. Really disappointed sorry if this is harsh.

I enjoy coming here with my family! The workers are always very friendly & extremely clean. The food is always good! Thank you for the outstanding customer service we appreciate the hard work. Teresa you’re awesome! ?
Some of the best tacos I've had the food was great and the margarita menu was awesome went with the jarrito margarita the salsas were great I got the mini tacos which are not mini a lot of food so you won't leave
We have been regulars of this place since the pandemic. On Saturday we went and after an hour we got our money back and went home. They were unable to get our order, or other orders right. So we do not intend to go back. I have noticed, by reading reviews, that service has gotten progressively worse starting in late 2022.Too bad, because I liked their soups. Liked is the operative word.Nadin

Food its so so, order takers get focused on certain clients, one of the order taker its the most rude person I have encountered, she should not be dealing with clients. Im part of a crew that wants to go there all the time we come to San Diego to do projects twice a year, and the times that I have been there my food its always wrong, and this person with fake blond hair, its the most unpleasant and unprofessional person to take care of customers, we are clients, and we support this place, but the bad taste of poor customer service makes me not to be of their support
