Amazing family owned restaurant with delicious food and adult beverages! The salsa is so good! We ordered the appetizer plate to share.

Outstanding lunch. Good here is always the best, service always good. The staff knows what my wife and I like, so we haven’t had a menu in a while. Love this place.

Food was good. Portion sizes are big. If you are small eater and don’t like to waste food, you can order 2 dishes and share among 3. Definitely recommend the pancakes and Flan. They made a mistake with my omelet order though, and offered to replace it when I mentioned it. But when I said I was okay without it, they gave me a complimentary dessert. The only reason I took a star off was because of the long wait time for food. This was Sunday brunch.

A friend and I were on a golf trip (after attending a conference in San Diego); were looking for Mexican food and Pancho’s was highly rated on Yelp. So, we put the address into the nav on our rental and had dinner on Saturday (Sep. 3).

I’ve been eating here since I was 5 years old a few times a month and it has not gotten old (I am now 21). By far the best Mexican food, service, and environment in east county. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

I was looking for a Mexican restaurant that wasn’t drive thru or fast food taco shop. The cold draft beer was $3.75, what a deal! I had the Enchiladas Suizas. My sister had the seafood chimichanga. They used the same sauce for both. It was green tomatillo sauce with corn. My enchiladas were disappointing, the chicken was over cooked and I’m not fan if it’s not all white meat. The seafood chimichanga was good but could have used some sauce on top. I was won over though by the staff and how welcoming and friendly they were. The service and the cheap beer will be the reason I go back and give it a second chance.

We ordered take out. Got the gigante salad with shredded beef and 3 item combo. They also gave us a bag of chips and salsa. It took longer than the 20 minutes they told us over the phone, but the order was exactly right and delicious! We were very happy. I LOVE their salsa. It’s not too spicy, but nice pieces of onion and cilantro in it. Their beans and shredded beef are also great. We will for sure be back. They have “dine in” at their parking lot with some easy ups and foldable chairs and tables as well.

Wonderful restaurant. Very reasonable too. I liked that you can order hard or soft shell tacos, with shredded or ground beef (and other options too). I substituted sautéed vegetables for the beans and rice (no charge) and they were excellent. Service was friendly and efficient.
