Rated as some of the best California Burritos in the city from locals and social media. A very solid burrito with the tortilla being the best part for me. The carne asada was a bit dry, needed more seasoning. Added guacamole for extra cost as it does not come with. Which in my opinion is very much needed to help with how fries can dry out a burrito. Very good and cost is not bad either.

Oh. My. Gordito. That was the best Pollo Asado burrito I’ve ever had. It was so chonky it could sit on its own hind legs. The red salsa was fabulous. Just the right amount of kick (I can be a baby with spice sometimes). I wasn’t a fan of the green salsa because of the oregano, but my boyfriend loved it. We’ll be back!!

I am glad that I ran into this place while staying in Imperial Beach because the food is so good! My chimichanga had so much flavor and was very filling! The portions are very large, and the prices are very affordable! There was a line for pickup orders, so it took about 20 minutes to receive my order after placing it. I highly recommend this place.

The roll tacks were great, but the Surf n Turf was alright. Little to no cream and too much rice. Felt like I was eating a rice burrito at one point. Although it did have great flavor towards the end after eating through all that rice. I think I’ll just ask for it without the rice and extra cream. Overall a great stop. The cashier lady was super nice

The best taco shop has now become the worst. This is what happens when rude kids run this shop. I’ve been eating here for 6 years. This is how my food has been looking lately. The boy cashier is the rudest boy ever! He seems annoyed to be working there. Please give your business to someone else. Not these rude people.

So good! I am from the east coast and was in town for the weekend. I wanted authentic Mexican food and was told to go here by a local. It was SO GOOD!
The food was cooked to order so it was hot. The beans are fully of flavor, I don’t even like beans and loved them! The taco itself was magical. It had flavors that we don’t get at the restaurants back home.
I’m a culinary school grad with years of restaurant cooking experience. I love to cook and Mexican food is my favorite. This place had the authentic yummy flavors that only real Mexican places offer. I wish I could make this at home but it just wouldn’t be the same!
I had the shrimp taco with guacamole added and my sister had the California burrito which she also loved.

I’m a loyal customer and come here often because the food is usually good. Unfortunately, my order is almost always wrong. I consistently ask for chipotle sauce inside my burrito, and it somehow gets missed nearly every time.
I’m not sure if it’s a communication issue or something happening in the kitchen, but after ordering the same thing so many times, it’s frustrating to keep getting the same mistake. I don’t think I’m asking for anything complicated—just hoping the cooks can slow down enough to get the order right.

Food was great! Prices were extremely fair. Staff is friendly and attentive. Red and Green salsa was on point. Would go back next time we’re in IB

This is my first time at this joint, so my review might change after a couple more visits.
Ok, so I’ve read some of the reviews, both + and -, and this is my take:
Food: 4.5
Service: 4.5
Atmosphere: 4
Pricing: 5+
I was surprised to find out the lady taking the order didn’t speak Spanish. No biggie, i ordered the #1 combo to test the waters. Ordered the combo and a drink for less than most places charge, which was a delightful transaction. Off the bat, my taco was already broken but still held on its own. The cheese enchilada was good, although it could’ve been a little more melty on the cheese. The rice and beans were good, not to dry not too soggy.
The salsas were actually flavorful. Both red and green salsas weren’t very spicy, but they have a hotter habanero (if you ask). Overall, it’s an excellent place, especially the pricing of what you get for what you pay. I came in the morning, so it wasn’t a packed. Good place to eat by yourself or with a couple of friends; but no large crowds
Parking might be a little crowded.

I recently visited Don Pancho’s Mexican Food and I must say, it was a delightful experience! The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The menu had a great variety of traditional Mexican dishes to choose from, and the food was absolutely delicious.
I particularly enjoyed the carne asada tacos and the guacamole, which were both fresh and flavorful. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food that we received.
Overall, I would highly recommend Don Pancho’s Mexican Food to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The restaurant has excellent food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere that will make you feel right at home. I will definitely be returning soon!
