Very, very, poor service its an hour we waited for our order and still not here. They are prioritizing the online orders rather than us who are here waiting. I asked the cashier and was just being told that's it's busy and we could see in our seats that the workers were grabbing the orders online. Never come back here you will pass out of hunger.

Poor customer service and there is no AC, it is hot inside, especially restroom is so hot, they kept restroom door open and it smells like restroom. They don't care about cleaning, everywhere is dirty. Dirty restaurant

Got the beef fajitas and they were less than fresh. The vegetables were soggy and mushy not like fajita vegetables rice and beans were really good.

They used to be the best tacos and salsa around the area. Unfortunately, they are not as good and salsas definitely went south. Nice place and very friendly staff.

NEL SALDIVAR
First time we ate at this restaurant and we just wasted our $50 for our meals, we couldn’t eat the food. Their food is extremely salty, we order super nachos carnitas and super shrimp burritos. I was so excited to eat it but after a couple of bites of burritos I couldn’t eat it at all and also the carnitas nachos. It’s probably good but they made everything extremely salty it’s impossible to eat it.

The burritos are the best. I moved to LA 15 years ago and the thing I miss the most about the bay area is this place and it sister restaurant el Toro in mission district.

I used to come here weekly to order combo meals. Recently the price hike was simply exorbitant. There really was no communication on the price increase.
I totally understand they have to rise price due to inflation, but no communication for a 30%+ change? Staffs are generally super friendly, but the owner always puts on a snarky attitude which honestly is not very pleasant.
Food is decent, good salsa, but not worth $30 bucks for one combo meal. Honestly overrated.
BUYER BEWARE. We've been getting takeout from Pancho Villa for 5 years and then on the 3rd of this month we suddenly get billed twice for a single transaction; I find both payments on our visa card a few days later. My husband goes in and says there was a mistake and the guy he talks to says he can't fix it and that hubby should come back when the manager is there. He goes in a couple days later to talk to a woman who says she is the manager. He explains what happened and he shows her the printout with the 2 transactions on the same day. She says she'll take care of it. Well, it's the 15th now and there's no credit on our card. Take your business elsewhere if you use credit cards or phone pay, because even if you do keep an eye on your billing and give them a chance to fix it- they definitely won't. I'll be sure and take this down if it's ever fixed, but I'm not holding my breath. They just lost long-term customers. We'll take our business elsewhere, and so should you (unless you use cash).

Tiratat Patana-anake
Generous portion size, good taste, very slow service.
I ordered four tacos for about $20. Their size was on the bigger taco side I've tried. The flavor was good; I especially enjoy their carne asada taco due to generous seasoning, and slight crunchiness.
Their service was below average. Even though the staffs appeared smiling, I didn't feel welcome since they didn't explain anything to me plus they were talking among themselves while I was trying to order. Furthermore the food took about 30 minutes to arrive (I ordered at 6pm on a Monday).
I don't know whether I want to come here again or not.

The meat can be a little salty on its own but with everything else it's a perfect symphony! The employees are really wonderful and so efficient! You can see them preparing everything so it's very reassuring to me that everything is being made correctly. The new salsa cart is also fantastic! Did I mention they have a made at order juice bar? Super refreshing! The chairs could be better but that's not the employees fault. Plus It is easy to forget about them when the food is so great :)

If you grew up in San Mateo, you know this place is a local institution! Great mexican food, fast service, and a nice atmosphere. I usually get a burrito or tacos or a quesadilla, all fantastic. Today I tried the torta ahogada. It was good but I will be asking for mediano next time for the salsa haha. The picante was a bit toooo picante for my taste!
