We were very pleased with our experience at Pancho’s. They provided generous portions and the food was delicious. We had a combination plate with a cheese enchilada and a bean and cheese burrito with shredded chicken added. The chicken was so juicy! It was all good. We also had the chicken Chipotle plate, and the chicken was flavorful and had just the right amount of heat. We’re just visiting the area, so this was a great find!

Super disappointed. We ordered takeout through cafe runner. My tostado had a strong soapy taste. It was inedible. We tried to get the food remade, but the restaurant refused. They had the opportunity to make it right, but decided not to. Then to top it off, I was trying to taste the other dishes and figure out which other ones might contain soap and found a hair in the taquitos. We threw everything out.

They have great food and great customer service one of my favorite places to go for Mexican food. The only thing I wasn’t happy about is asking them to split the two enchiladas dinner into two plates for us. They just said they couldn’t do that, could give us an extra plate. It would have been really helpful to split the dinner for me being I had an elderly client with me They’ve done that for me in the past for me and my daughter & it is very helpful. Hopefully next time they split the enchilada dinner for us.

We just had a custom Chilli Verde burrito, wet and a combo enchilada, Taco, and Chilli Rellano. Excellent service, atmosphere, and food. Can’t go wrong at Panchos for authentic Mexican cuisine.

We were visiting so we were looking for a Mexican restaurant. This place blew us away. I got a big burrito with shrimp and bell peppers. The veggies were cooked perfectly. The tomatillo sauce was amazing. My brother’s Super enchilada had lots of meat and good red sauce. We all left full and happy. Salsas were good. Guacamole was perfect. Our server was awesome. 10/10. Oh and the ladies restroom was cute and super clean!

Very few Mexican restaurant are authentic this is one of the two in SLO that I have food. It’s kinda Downtown but by smart and final. Have a Happy Hour on beer every day after 3pm select beers bud, Coors light and another I can’t recall. Also the only Mexican restaurant to have a taco Tuesday and Saturday special. On Saturday it starts after 3pm. Have beer Happy Hour after 3 pm every day and other weekly specials. Highly recommend! Grilled chicken regular price but really good!
