The ironic part is that I ended up getting an omelet. Salt & Pepper is a small family run Mexican spot serving up delicious food all day long. Perfect for small groups that want to have some awesome bits after a long night out. Ended up getting Rancheros and various tacos. Everything was great. Staff is very attentive even when the takeout/delivery line is jumpin (busy). Next time I find myself in AC, I'm coming back.

The price is amazing, quality is outstanding, extremely authentic and service was great. A very small restaurant with maybe 3-4 tables but everything is very tight and a bit hot. No AC but one fan. My bf and I stopped by and we were the only ones dining inside, but the door constantly opened with customers picking up food. Our waitress was the friendliest and cutest person ever. Very happy and loved her job. This restaurant does not come with complimentary chips and salsa and the food (besides entrees) do not come with sides. However, the taste and quality is out of this world and so worth it! We ordered shrimp tacos, which came with 3pieces and extremely fresh. We also shared an order of the original tlayuda and chose mixed meat since the waitress recommended it. Very heavy and filling. Can't wait to come back and try other items off the menu!

This must be the best Mexican in town! When I was browsing the map for things to do, see, eat, near…read moremy hotel in AC. It had good reviews and Google suggested I might like it based on places I've been to here in Baltimore. So, you know I had to cross reference on Yelp, my most trusted source of recommendations. Yelp said, yes ma'am and I said say less. After some rooftop drinks at Vue bar, I stopped in for takeout. I only browsed the menu briefly, but I knew when I saw huaraches and tlayuda it was going be a hit! There's nothing like authentic Mexican. While I wanted to try a little bit of everything, I'm only one girl and I was traveling solo, so I ordered steak nachos, an al pastor torta, and a single lengua taco. The way I inhaled those nachos, the roof of my mouth be damned! They were so simple, just black refried beans, meat, queso fresco and some pickled veg, yet so delicious. The lengua taco had more of a shredded consistency than the tender chunks I'm used to, but the flavor was yummy and the torta was still great 3 days later. 10/10 would recommend!

Pancho's is a perfectly fine taco spot. I went with my girlfriend on a Saturday night and it wasn't…read moretoo packed so we got a table right away. The place is a decent size so there are plenty of seats. It's certainly a hole-in-the-wall, no frills type of place. You're not coming here for the ambiance. We really wanted tacos, so that's all we ordered. We were disappointed to find that you couldn't really mix and match the meats. 1 order comes with 3 tacos so if you aren't coming with a big group or if you're not trying to have 30+ tacos you will be limited in what you can try. I wish I could've tried all of their tacos but I wasn't interested in taking a ton to go. We settled on the Tripa, Lengua, Cachete Res, and al Pastor. The tacos came out pretty quickly and they were pretty good. The meats were flavorful and the tortillas were solid. They weren't the best tacos I've ever had, but they were good. Aside from not being able to order just 1 taco, my other gripe is the price. 1 order of tacos is $15 and $5/taco is a little steep in my opinion. Sure these tacos are bigger than your average taco, but as someone who likes to order a variety I have to dock points. I wouldn't mind coming back to Pancho's, but it wouldn't be my first choice for food in AC.

I'd always heard the saying that hole‑in‑the‑wall restaurants have the best food -- and this place proves that 100% true. If you love good food, this is the spot. We visit AC often, and eating here has become a full‑on family tradition. We simply can't skip it. Authentic Mexican dishes, amazing flavors, great service, and genuinely kind people. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Let me start by saying that trying to find a parking spot was a nightmare. Even though I ordered to…read morepick up, I couldn't even find a place to illegally park my car & run in. The tiny restaurant was full so that was a good sign. In any case, I got Al Pastor Tacos. They came dressed with onions and cilatro, served in homemade tortillas, a few slices of radishes, lots of slices or lime, a roasted serrano pepper, a green salsa, and a red salsa. They were HUGE and stuffed with pork. I was so excited but when I bit into it, it was flavorless. The salsas helped A LOT. In any case, the meat was tender and the bits of pineapple was a nice added element. The guy who fixed my order was ok. And the price point was good.

However, with…read morethat being said my retired parental units from down south had made a trip based on an amazing promotion that they found and would be staying in the Tropicana Hotel and Casino. Though I don't usually join them on these jaunts the need for some family time was present and I was able to get a ticket for the bus that leaves from my area fairly quick and easy. I'm in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and the ride is about two hours give or take depending on traffic. Once I arrived and having caught up for a few minutes we decided to get some lunch. My early start found me only having one of those Carnation Breakfast drinks on the bus. There were a few interesting options to enjoy but Mom suggested Casa Taco and I'm not one to argue since I love Mexican food myself. The downside was that they were not yet serving lunch so breakfast it was. We all kept it simple and ordered the "Two Eggs with Meat" listing on the menu. I had scrambled eggs with sausages and my folks the same but with a differently prepared egg. A steaming cup of coffee and orange juice complimented the order. The restaurant was clean and very open in terms of layout and while I didn't catch our servers name she was very friendly and brought our orders out as quick as it was possible. At the end there wasn't a scrap on my plate but like I said I was hungry. So if you find yourself in the Tropicana down in Atlantic City, NJ this is a good recommendation from me. I cannot say when or if I will be back here because I like to try different places whenever I visit somewhere but only time will tell.

Tacos weren't bad, wish it came with a side of rice and beans, but it is 3 tacos that come with an order. The Birria tacos were good for AC vibes for sure. Empanadas you could mix and my brother said they were delish. The hot sauces were really good. We didn't try any drinks as we were already drinking prior lol. I would come back for the drinks for sure. My husband had the chipotle chicken entree. It does come pre shredded and it wasn't too spicy. Since this establishment is in a kid friendly hotel, wish they had a kids menu, but since they just opened up maybe one will be coming soon lol.
