  This is one of the best places for tacos in the area! My favorite is the Carne Asada/Steak tacos, but I've also tried the spicy pork, chicken, and chorizo and they're all good! Chorizo has a bit of a kick but definitely manageable for someone who usually prefers mild. I also recommend getting the guacamole--so fresh and delicious!
  
  Don't forget that there's a 3.5% additional charge if you're using a credit card! I will be sure to be back to try out their other dishes!

  Solid authentic Mexican food. Small casual place. Clean and bright. Started with guacamole and chips. Very tasty quac! We both had the tacos (5 to an order) we tried the brisket and the Carne Asada (steak) but they were light on the seasoning. The spicy pork and Pork Al Pastor were the most flavorful. We also ordered a side of rice and beans to split. We left very full. The girl taking orders does everything in the front of the house and she was busting her a** .
  We are more used to American Mexican food but this place was good. The Pozole sounded amazing but was sold out so might have to come back to try that.
  Lots of people ordering take out too. Service was good. If you want more authentic Mexican food from a clean restaurant (that's busy...so food is cooked to order) then it's worth trying.

  FINALLY a Mexican spot that actually serves real authentic Mexican food that is actually good.  Not Tex- Mex mush smothered in cheese.
  
  I can tell the owners have a spirit of excellence and the owners daughter who was basically running the entire front house including waiting the tables was on top of her game. And she was friendly, patient, and helpful.  
  
  The server Speaks both English and Spanish fluently.  Some of my family who don't speak fluent Spanish feel embarrassed when they walk into a Mexican place.  Sometimes they make you feel like a complete idiot for not speaking the language. But they would feel right at home here.  In fact I was surprised to see so many Americans along with Mexicans there.  Lots of hipster looking young people.  
  
  It's small but they are expanding in the next few months.
  
  Street parking but we found parking right away.
  
  Clean.  Some authentic places feel questionable but I felt 100% safe.
  
  Every dish that went by our table looked fantastic.  They have aquas frescas, tacos, pozole... all the authentic staples.
  
  Guacamole was perfectly made.  (I was born in Mexico so  I can say it's authentic) 100 times better than any Chipotle guac out there. It had a nice kick of jalapeño heat.   Tortilla chips were homemade, a bit thick for my preference but still good.
  
  Tacos de lengua.. LEGIT period. Seasoned perfectly. Great texture.
  Salsa verde was fresh, clearly homemade and delicious
  Cuban torta was very good too-  lots of places it make it really greasy but this was perfect.
  
  Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus drink) was good too.
  
  They have high chairs but I didn't check the bathroom for changing tables.  
  We didn't have to wait long for our food at all which is also usually a problem in Mexican restaurants.  
  
  Even the coffee came out frothy and delicious.
  
  The only thing I was that she didn't hand us a check, she just told us the price.  I was OK with it and I'm sure she would have been happy to show us if we asked.  
  
  I gave 4 starts and not 5 stars only because it's not as good as my abuelita's food, but it was def close.
  
  The bill was $39.  2 meals, 1 appetizer, 2 homemade drinks, 2 coffees, some avocado for the baby.
  At first I felt like prices were slightly high, however, all the trimmings were homemade which with Mexican food is the only way to go, but lots of labor.  Also the portions were pretty decent.
  
  I will definitely be back and will be bringing my family to give their stamp of approval!
  
  Thanks for a great experience Pancho's!

  I've only tried the Al Pastor tacos and it was delicious. Also recommended getting a side of guac and chips! Can't stop thinking about them ever since. It's a tiny restaurant and is very basic so not the place to come on a fancy first date but if you want to grab a quick bite or order take out, it's a great option. Super casual.
  
  Ask for the spicy green salsa on the side - no joke it has a nice kick to it ha. Will be back asap to try all the dishes!

  Delicious! Authentic food. Small restaurant, no liquor but people brought wine in. I had carnitas tacos. They were made with cilantro and onion, just how I like them. Service was fast. This place was bustling, between eat in and take out. I'll be back for sure.
  
  Update: went back a second time. This time I had posole, kind of a soup with pork and posole (sort of like hominy) huge portion! There was enough to take home. I brought my friend who had enchiladas, she said it was so good she wanted to lick her plate!
