    Nice place with a big menu. They had some cool signature burritos. I was craving some fish soup. My girlfriend ordered the garlic shrimp plate.

    The waitress was nice and informed us our orders might take a while to prepare. The food actually came out quick and looked delicious.

    My soup had great flavor. Only minor issue with me was it was loaded with big chunks of carrots and potatoes. Other than that, it was good.

    I can see myself coming back. Good food and good service.

    Pubic hair garnish?

    Not my first time finding stuff in the food. From shrimp tails to metal I have finally had enough.
    The food was perfect and fair priced in 2010. This establishment has dive-bombed since.
    Be warned! There is a 40 cent fee to use a debit card now. Bathroom is always a mess.
    This used to be my favorite place. Now I go to Albert's off Los Coches.

    Yes! We love this place. Their serving sizes are huge. They don't skimp on cheese, guacamole, or any toppings for that matter. We ordered carne asada fries and 5 rolled tacos. We didn't even order their "premium" or loaded options, but they were really loaded anyways!

    Best chile relleno I've ever eaten; all others I've tried pale in comparison. Rice and beans were so-so, but I'll have dreams about that chile relleno.

    I came to visit San Diego for the weekend and my friend suggested we go to Panchos. After driving for about 3 hours in traffic I was absolutely famished. I am a nacho connoisseur and this was one of my most memorable nacho experiences. Panchos understand the nacho craft and deserve the highest praise. The very first bite contained the perfect ratio of topping to chip and I was transported to a simpler time. I actually decided to write this review because I can't stop thinking about those succulent nachos. I'll be back for you Panchos, just don't forget about me.
