I’m 20 years too late but this place fueled me in 2005 out of a food truck across from SDSU with monster delicious burritos. I’ve tried to duplicate since.

Breakfast burrito 🌯 heaven 😋

I stopped by for a BRC — it was a bit smaller than what you’d get at Vallarta, but still a decent size for the ~$9 price.

The flavor was solid, and the tortilla had this whole-wheat vibe to it, which I didn’t mind.

The hot sauce was the good kinda spicy and had real flavor.

The drive-thru was a little confusing to find at first, but it was incredibly fast. In and out in just a few minutes.

Overall a solid spot.

Raised prices. Did not raise service or quality.

A consistent taco shop that is always above average.

I'll say what everyone at this campus knows. The food here isn't good during the day time while your liver is clean. At midnight on a Friday after a party, that's when this place excells.

I want to preface this review by saying that I'm a super patient person, if a place gets my order wrong, I'm not super picky and will usually eat whatever it is anyway unless it's missing items. This review is based on my very first time going here, I just wanted to try it out by getting some quick food on the way home.

I went through the drive thru and the items seemed fairly priced. The worker on the other end didn't speak fluent English, but no worries! She seemed to take down my order no problem (#2, I asked for the enchiladas, one carne and one pollo and Buffalo Fries). When I pull up to the drive thru window, everything goes downhill.

She repeats my order "Pollo Asado fries and 2 number 2's?" I'm like uhh, no, I wanted the buffalo fries. She said something to another worker in the back and again, repeats pollo asado fries. Ok, sure, those sound fine anyway. And I corrected that I wanted ONE number 2 PLATE with "2 Enchiladas." My girlfriend who speaks Spanish chimes in and clarifies everything. She once again says something to the guy in the back in Spanish... and goes to get the food. I've worked in service and understand what customer service is like, but she had one nasty attitude. She brings takes my card, says nothing, brings the food to us, I say "Thank you," says nothing and walks away... like... did I genuinely do something wrong???

I drive away and my partner checks her food, pollo asado fries and... a Carne asada burrito. We turn around immediately to clarify with them at the store. Once there, my girlfriend tells them that the order was wrong. The lady worker rolled her eyes. And, instead of correcting the order, the other worker in the back demanded us to pay for the wrong item. What? Like I get it, there might have been a translation issue, but we're willing to exchange for the correct food. Obviously annoyed, my girlfriend waited for them to say something before they settled on us returning the food for a refund. After receiving the refund, my girlfriend said "Thanks" and the door was slammed in her face.

It's really, really hard for me to write a negative review, but this experience was disappointing at the least and offensive at the most. Not at any single point was I rude, impatient, or condescending with the workers here, because I understand what that work is like, and yet I was treated like garbage, not a paying customer. We will personally not be coming back here ever again, there are way too many great Mexican food places around the SDSU area within 5 minutes that treat their customers better and deserve your attention more than Senor Pancho does.

This place is the best Mexican place. Best prices. Best service, I have been a regular customer. What makes this place nice is that they give a big container of cheese dip with their asada fries.
