Great burritos!! You will fill up. I've always enjoyed the food here.. Order ahead and avoid the long lines at times. Otherwise it's quick and the ladies working the counter are quick and efficient.

Great meat selection here, you can get lengua, carnitas, al pastor, carne asada, chicken, fish, and shrimp. I picked up the 3 tacos for $10 and mixed and matched al pastor, carne asada, and carnitas. Tacos come with garnished with pico and beans, so I opted for refried beans. The corn tortillas here held the meat well, no breakage at all. Not used to having beans in my tacos, but it seemed to work really well. The pico was awesome because it's hard to find jalapenos with a little kick. The combination of tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos felt really fresh and had a nice crunch. The meat portion per taco was generous. Loved the smoky, sweet, savoriness of the al pastor! Carnitas with a squeeze of lime was super delicious. The carne asada, I feel could have had a bit more char and lacked crispness. I would definitely go for 3 al pastor tacos, if I'm getting this deal again. Restaurant space is fairly decent, and you have your choice of pico, green, red, orange, and roasted salsas to go along with chips. Food came out relatively quickly and is brought to your table (note that you have to order through the line first before heading to the register). Overall, the tacos price point here seemed pretty good for a taqueria, and all the ingredients tasted top notch. The horchata here is no slouch either, tasty sweet and refreshing.

My burrito was nasty. I like hot salsa but it was nothing but jalapeño peppers. They forgot to add sour cream and there was so much rice and barely any meat

Tacos are great. Al pastor or lengua are favorites. Salsas and aguafrescas are great. $10 3 taco deal. Go. Eat. Get them spicy. Casual, clean, good.

Pancho's was our spot, our little salsa heaven on Earth! We'd roll in all the time, but then the salsa bar vanished with Covid. They said it'd be back, but here we are in 2024, and nada. We've hung on, hoping for that comeback. But it's just not Pancho's without the salsa bar, man. It's like a party without music. We've gone from regulars to just dropping by now and then. We've asked, but all we get is "maybe." And now, it's those tiny plastic cups. You know, the ones you have to practically beg for more of? They hand you one or two tops, and when you've got a feast in front of you, that's just not gonna cut it. Back in the day, we used to grab them straight from the bar, but now? You gotta stand in a long ass line, get the stink-eye when you ask for more, and sometimes they flat-out refuse. Not cool. So, here's a shout-out to the owners: if you're reading this, please bring back the salsa bar. It's more than just salsa; it's the soul of your place. It's what made us drive from Berkeley for a taste. Without it, it's just not the same. Three stars without the bar, but it was easily five with it.
