“ I've been here another time before and enjoyed the food here. Returned here again this past weekend and it was still delicious as ever! We went to several places for breakfast while in San Antonio, but this was my absolute favorite...if I was a local, I would eat here as often as possible! The breakfast tacos are a very generous portion with thick fresh tortillas. I had the chorizo, egg and beans (Panchito's special) & a ham and egg taco. They have great coffee too! The menudo looks amazing, but I did not get to try it as my breakfast tacos were very filling. Update 5/19/25: I went to Panchito's again and this time I took some pictures of the Panchito's Special breakfast taco and ordered a small Menudo which did not disappoint! Very satisfying as I expected! I love this place! ”
“ We found Panchito's by accident while visiting San Antonio and now panchito's will be the reason why we go to San Antonio with SeaWorld and other attractions being second and third. We absolutely loved it and had great service and great food. This is the kind of service and food that Houston, Gulf Coast Area Tex-Mex restaurants used to have but they have been slipping for years. If you want excellent food with excellent service, this is the place. Reggie was very professional and treated us like VIPs ”
“ Okay, it's probably one of my top 5 best Mexican restaurants I have ever been. the place has great vibes, and you can feel it as soon as you set your feet in there. Margaritas looked good, and they tasted so great! The food portion was generous but yet great quality. We picked this restaurant on google Maps for its good reviews during our visit to San Antonio, and we were not disappointed!! We had such a great time, and we would definitely go back next time we're in town! ”
“ Fantastic spot for flavorful Mexican food and top-notch drinks! The tacos were delicious, but the real stars were the margaritas — strong, fresh, and perfectly balanced and the PAIN CHILLER IS A MUST. Great vibe, friendly service Thomas was amazing!! Will definitely be back! ”
“ Solid Tex Mex place with delicious food and tasty Margaritas. The fajitas are meaty, juicy, and tender and perfect in their house made corn tortillas. The enchiladas were also really filling and tasty. The cheese enchiladas could of used a little more sauce and cheese, but that's just my personal preference. The enchiladas suizas were perfect, plenty of chicken filling and sauce. It's a little off putting that they don't automatically bring you complimentary chips and salsa (you have to ask for them) as we waited for them but they never came. After the drinks were brought to the table and the food order was placed, the server didn't reappear until the food came to the table. The server explained the chips and salsa policy (it apparently changes weekly, depending on the manager on duty, and the day of the week) and brought them to the table. ”
“ Food was great, totally recommend happy hour. Drinks and food were well priced and tasty. Jose the manager came by to check on us and our waiter Thomas was fantastic. ”
“ Service was fantastic and food was delicious. We started with queso and a Raspa Rita Flight... Then we got chicken fajitas and the Pancho's combo with an Olmos Taco. We'll definitely be back! ”
