Just the service wasn’t good . I mean food is ok but I feel beans are coming out of a jar . I don’t taste authentic from here . Just my honest opinion. 3 out of 5

We ate tacos al pastor all week, and in our final review of them all, Pancho's TaKos wins! So this place usually has a line, but they try to move it along as fast as they can get folks full of TaKos and out the door. What set Pancho's a part from others we tried around PV were a few things: Line of people usually means its pretty good The Internet said it was tasty We arrived to the shortest line that we had seen in days so we joined, and only waited about 5 minutes. (we were a party of 2 and there was a party of 4 ladies right in front of us that got their table right after we set down) so they move people quickly. It's a small space so big groups will have to wait longer as they have only a few larger tables out front. Now to the good stuff: My TaKos al pastor were served in a whole avocado with 4 street taco size, homemade (IYKYK) corn tortillas. I got to build my own TaKos with Avocado! It was glorious! So many other delicious things to try but the mission was tacos, and the mission was successful. Internet is not all hype, there's a delicious reason!

Ponch's makes the best tacos .... you may have to stand in line for a while, but worth every minute. I've tried to make these at home, but they just don't taste the same. wish I could get these back home in the USA!

This is a must stop. One of the best Al Pastor tacos in town cooked on charcoal. Be ready to wait for a bit because it’s a favorite spot for tourists.

Great food but be ware that you cannot take food to go. They cancel the remainder of your order without notice.

Normally I don’t like to stand in lines but this place was well worth it. The server kept asking if we wanted all the food we ordered and that should have been an inclination that the servings were huge. I ordered a cheese and poblano Chile quesadilla and two beef and onion tacos. The quesadilla came first and that covered the whole plate. This was made open face kind of like a tostada. By the time they brought my two tacos, which were just as big, I was already full. Everything tasted delicious too.

This place came highly recommended and I expected long lines. Fortunately we were there during low season so the wait was only 10 minutes. First the tacos are good. We preferred the el pastor vs the beef. It’s a hole in the wall so expect small tight tables and of course it’s hot. They do have good fans so it’s bearable. They make the best lemon margarita that we tried during our stay in PV. The mango one too is recommended.

There’s a reason this place is the highest rated in the romantic zone and there is a long line. The tacos were magnificent and huge. I was hungry so I ordered a plate of 3 carne tacos and 2 chicken. I was used to the size of tacos in the states. These were enormous. So much meat! And the tortillas were delicious. Worth the wait.

Pepes tacos are better ! They have a better customer service. Pancho tacos are so bad u dont feel good bout spending this expensive al pastor tacos” so expensive “ for tacos” the waiters are so bad, one of them asked if i didnt think i already order too many? I was party of 6 w big guys they are crazy” never again! No thank u
The long lines would lead one to believe the food would be spectacular. It was good though not spectacular. My fave of the different kinds - Al pastor.

Worst experience! Although the food is good and has been a place we stop by on every trip. Today not only was the line long but the meal was not enjoyable. After an hour and half wait, we sat down to order. The server informed us that we were ordering too much food. Stated not as a suggestion to reduce the order in an effort to support the client, but rather on an offensive agenda to not allow take outs. Now, I and my family are about not wasting food but when you go as family and orders come in two's, some three tacos, how are you able to try out the different meats with your server dictating what you can and can't order. He was rude at the portrayal of the wants of the restaurant (no take outs) while not taking into account that this stop has been a family tradition. Where we wait patiently to enjoy a meal. If you want to be micromanaged on what you order, made feel bad for wanting to try items, and be scolded for taking out leftovers, this is the place for you.

Holy!!! Best Al Pastor tacos I have ever had! Charred a little on the outside, full of flavor and not greasy. Also the mango margaritas is next level. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table but it was so worth it!

Long wait, extremely hot interior, meals came out 20 minutes apart, underwhelming tacos. Got in line at 3:50 for 4pm open, seated at 4:10 because the restaurant was disorganized. Ordered 4:15. My wife’s tacos came out at 4:30 (regular Al pastor), my tacos came out at 4:50 (Al pastor with cheese). Neither of us got the hype at all and it was an unpleasant experience.

We were told the best tacos are in Panchos Takos, it won’t disappoint you, definitely delicious. There was a long line that was to the street, but our wait was no longer than 30 minutes, 7 in our party we were given a sheet with all the tacos selections was a little confusing but the gentleman taking our order helped us, get our order, The Al pastor tacos are big portions size, we ordered thinking street tacos size but this are full 2 tortilla tacos, definitely worth it, we were served fast, ordered came out fast. Very tasty
