Casa De Pancho overall was good except the LONG, LONG wait!! We didn't get our food until after 30 mins later after we ordered. But before ordering, we waited over 10 mins just to take our order. The restaurant was short staffed with only 1 server tending to 8 tables and 4 to go orders during our dining. She was very nice and served with a smile but she was pulled from all different directions and also checking the back to serve the good. I felt very bad for her and wished she had more help so it was a better experience for the customers and staff. All the food here is very reasonable with huge portions you can share as family style. I higher recommend the chicken quesadilla and the steak and check fajitas. I don't recommend the nacho since the plate portion seemed light compared to other places. The plate looked much later in the menu pictures. We also ordered the Pancho Molcajete that came with shrimp, steak, cheese and onions. it was not worth $42 and no it doesn't serve for 2 people. It was more of the black salsa sauce in the bowl than the actual food. Very disappointing and not worth the price. I would come back to order to go but not ever come back for a sit down! read more

I had the opportunity to try out this restaurant today. Let's go over each part of the experience. Ambiance: My initial impression was that the restaurant itself was clean and tidy. However, none of the usually warm attributes of a family owned establishment. The was a distinct lack of color and warmth. Service: The service was good. I was greeted quickly and shown to a table very promptly too. (It was 4pm so it was after the lunch crowd and before dinner.) I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to experience the best possible service.) Menu: The menu had lots of options but I was set on exploring their taco Tuesday special. I ordered one of each. Food: My first surprise was when I was offered chips and salsa for $1.99. This is usually a free item at most restaurants but I thought to myself, if they are going to charge, then it must be something to talk about. I WAS WRONG! The chips were homemade but not to order. As a result, they were cool to the touch. The portion was modest and the salsa itself was barely an elevated tomato purée. That was almost no discernible spice to it. Then came the tacos. They were the small traditional street taco size which was just fine. However, none of the 4 tacos that I ordered had any noticeable heat. They were not quite cool to the touch but the certainly were not hot either. The presentation was nice as they were set on a long rectangular plate side by side and dressed with traditional cilantro and onions. I ordered 4 different meat types but the only offered one small shot glass sized salsa for all 4 of them. Sense of welcome: They were showing one of the World Cup games. In other circumstances, I might have ordered more tacos, maybe a dessert or even a beer. Unfortunately, at this point, I didn't want to stay. If I wanted more chips, they were going to charge another $2. It wasn't the $2 that was the problem, it was simply that nothing to that point was worth staying for. If they cannot get a simple plate of tacos served correctly when there was nobody else in the restaurant, I don't think there's any reason to go back to try anything else. I would have been better off at a taco truck. read more

It's Taco Tuesday today, and we got a flier from Casa De Pancho Mexican Grill for a $15 credit. It is located on Valley Blvd. in Walnut next to Aroma Craft Coffee. This restaurant is known for its authentic Mexican cuisine. The atmosphere is lively, and the service is good and friendly. They have some big TVs, and it's good for watching sports. It also offers a dedicated event space, the Casa De Pancho Event Center. This venue, located at the same address as the restaurant, can accommodate up to 100 guests for various occasions such as weddings, quinceañeras, and corporate events. They have Daily Specials on weekdays. Mondays: Hard Shell Taco for $2.50 each. Tuesday: Soft Taco $1.50 Wednesday: Wet Burrito $10.99 Thursday Fish Taco $1.50 Friday: QuesaBirria Taco $2.99 We ordered to go and bought 10 soft tacos ($1.50 each for today), and we also bought shrimp ceviche ($14.99). We had 4 steak tacos, 4 Carnitas tacos, and 2 Al Pastor Tacos. I liked the Carnitas and Al Pastor Tacos. They were flavorful but small. The Shrimp Ceviche was a bit pricey because the portion was small. It included some saltine crackers and 4 pieces of crispy tostadas. I will try their Fish Tacos soon. read more

I lived in West Covina for years, went to Mt.Sac for a few years and never knew about this spot until a few weeks ago. Came for an early dinner w/my family and we were the only ones inside however quite a few people would come/go for togo orders. I got the chicken/steak fajitas, huge portions. My husband got the 3 taco platter, he said it was good. We tried both salsas and they were very flavorful. Agua frescas were amazing. They have a side room that can be rented for events and they also have catering, which is neat since that area has a lot of buildings/jobs. read more

I'm not going to lie, its not the best mexican food i've ever had however its decent enough for a bite/return. Came here for a late lunch with my family - its pretty small inside. They also have a big banquet room for rental - which is also surprising because from the outside, you would not know about it. I dont remember our server's name but it was a tall young guy - very nice, very attentive. I noticed a lot of people came for takeout, so I think its pretty popular here. read more

Passing through the area thought I'd try this place out for lunch. Food was good. Service was OK considering they only had one person serving every table. Only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because they charge you $2 for chips and salsa which I've never been to places that charge you for something just given at every Mexican restaurant included. read more

Casa De Pancho Mexican Grill - The enchilada plate, one chicken and one beef with green sauce. I would give it about an 8 out of 10 rating. - Mexican Near Me - Walnut, California

Our favorite Mexican food spot. I cannot express enough how amazing the food is. I've tried several items from the menu, and every single one has been outstanding. From the fish tacos to the chips and dip, the carne asada, and more--everything is a perfect 10/10. Our favorite, being la Parrillada. Absolutely amazing. Parking is never an issue here! Service is always on point! We've been here a handful of times and not once have ever had a bad experience. They've been under construction a few times. I think the downside right now is the limited seating. However, that doesn't take away from all the amazing things I have to say about this place! Give it a try! Cannot recommend enough! read more

I have been frequenting this location for multiple years now from since when it used to be called The Mayan. I have seen it go from a small little restaurant to where it expanded and now back to an even smaller setting. I'm not sure what is going on. They have two entrances. One is a smaller restaurant and the other is a large dining area. I went today and only the smaller restaurant was open and it was crammed pack with people standing all over the place, very limited seating. The workers were hustling and doing the best they could. I typically order an all meat burrito with cheese and lately the burrito has been super greasy, and the meat has a bit of a sweet flavor to it, which I really don't care for. The server did an amazing job continuing to check on us refilling our waters and chips and salsa. read more

Food tasted like it was made with passion and care. Rice was moist and tasted home made, beans were good. If a Mexican place can't get those 2 things right, to me, the rest of the food will be bad. Not here. Thoroughly impressed with this place! I had chips and salsa ($1.50). They were crunchy and freshly made. Next was the beef enchilada with green sauce combo. That green sauce was divine !! Couldn't get enough of it. Next I had a fish taco ($1.50 on Thursday). It was wonderful! Crispy, not overly fried, light batter, great flavors. I should have done what the man across from me did when he ordered 8 of them ! Also had a michelada, and Pacifico. It was so much food but it was all great! I'm not from the area and was looking for an authentic place that was more than just a hole in the wall with good food. This place was clean, service was great, and the food was amazing. I would definitely eat here all the time if I lived in that area. Well done. Casa de Pancho read more

Stopped in for Taco Tuesday -- $1 tacos are always a win! The asada was decent but missing that bold, smoky flavor I was hoping for. The real standout was the chili verde -- tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Great value for the price, and I'd definitely come back just for that chili verde taco! read more

Husband and I went on a breakfast date. A friend recommended this place as she's been here a few times and loved the food. Place is cute and clean. We were early and the only ones there so we got seated immediately. Husband ordered a chorizo burrito and I ordered the chilaquiles. The food was good. The waiter was friendly. We were given fresh/hot tortilla chips which I loved and 3 kids of salsa. The only downside was we waited a while to get our food and although I enjoyed mine, I ordered it with steak but it was ground beef. Next time I'll try shredded beef or chicken. Other than that, I'd come here again and recommend. read more

Casa De Pancho in Walnut is conveniently located right next to Commons Brewery so I've bought food here numerous times to bring next door to enjoy with a cold beer or ten. They have the BEST Chicken Quesadillas EVER! It has the perfect blend of meat and cheese with just the right amount of grease that literally melts in your mouth! There's karaoke nights (check their website for info) and they offer catering. The staff are wonderful. I highly recommend Casa De Pancho! read more

Very slow service even at take out. Food already ready but no one to greet to ask until 10 mins later. Maybe service faster if I was dining in. The place looks empty but quite spacious.

Beans good too but quite a lot! Great if you chips on the side. Plenty parking in the lot. read more

I ordered the "shredded" beef, but I'm pretty sure the chef just handed me a boiled leather belt that had given up on life. Calling that substance "meat" is a bold legal strategy that I don't think would hold up in court. It was so tough, I didn't need a fork; I needed a chainsaw and a written apology from the cow. read more

Can't beat the $1 tacos on Tuesdays. Especially at a sit down restaurant. We saw a sign of Taco Tuesday specials and had to check it out. We walked in and got seated right away. I saw handful of people waiting for their to go but inside was fairly empty. They have a stage towards the back of the restaurant and I saw a sign that they do karaoke nights. We ordered 8 tacos (al pastor, carne asada and pork verde) along with nacho fries with Dos Equis Ambar. OMG the pork verde was my ultimate favorite. The sauce and tenderness of the meat was just perfect. Although the fries they used on the nacho fries could be better but the beans, guac and asada they used were enough to cover up for the fries. Biggest downfall of this spot is they dont have any beer on tap. So we had to settle for bottled beer. Saw other people ordering fajitas and that looked good so we are defiantly revisiting to try their other dishes. read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I have never in my life been served food this disgusting. We ordered the tacosl, which was lukewarm and smelled faintly of burning rubber. The chicken tacos was simultaneously rubbery on the outside and raw on the inside--it was actively dangerous to eat. The service was just as appalling; our server seemed annoyed by our existence. To top it off, the restaurant itself is filthy--the tables were sticky, and I'm fairly sure I saw a mouse in the corner. Save your money and your health; go literally anywhere else. read more

I really miss the wider setup that they had a while back. It gave a less cramped feeling than the current tables. The fish tacos were a bit bland while the churros and chips were hard to chew. The 3 Fish tacos were a lot for me to eat though, which kind of justifies the price but it's a bit pricey. The salsa was amazing as usual and spicy. The salads were priced too high for a salad though. The service was more of a walk to the stand and ask for something deal, which I thought was fine. The server did come in check to check occasionally. read more

This little restaurant is quietly tucked in to a strip mall along Valley Blvd, just east of Fairway Drive. According to other reviewers, it sounds like it used to be larger. The current spot is quite small, and noticeably plain. (I would love to paint the walls with vibrant colours, and add just a bit of art.) To their credit they play good Mexican music. The menu looks interesting, I tried the chicken flautas, which were very good. They were stuffed full with tender chicken, had lots of cheese and were drizzled with sour cream. The tortilla was crispy, but not hard like so many places cook it. The flautas were served on a plate with beans (very good), rice (nice texture, but very plain, little flavour), and a dab of guacamole (also very bland). The chips and salsa were tasty, although the salsa is very mild. Service was prompt and friendly. I will definitely go back again, but I might bring some paint or artwork with me. read more

This place is so little the food taste like it had no flavor. The waitress had attitude never came back to ask if we needed refills on our drinks or if we need anything had the fish did not taste right at all and the tacos now were no good ,no flavor. It should've stayed the way it was before the food was great. The atmosphere was great now it's not worth nothing. read more

Been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and to a great surprise there was a mariachi show when we walked in. Everyone must order an entree for the show. We stood at the entry area awaiting seating as servers and hosts bustled by us without acknowledging us, it was kind of awkward. On to the food, the molcajete was so spicy and good. I've never had one so spicy so beware if your spice tolerance is low. My teen son ordered a burrito that was as big as his forearm! He was very happy with his order. My daughter had the hard shell tacos that were also very good. All in all we will be back, dinner and a show was awesome. read more

Very disappointed, didn't even get to try the food. We walked in at 2pm on a Saturday , no one in the restaurant, no one there to sit us, we waited about 10 minutes and walked out. We heard people in the kitchen but not a single person there for us or customers so we left. Just a really bad look. read more

This place hit my fiesta Mexican itch -- Ambiance -- I arrived here on a Friday at 5PM, it was a little empty but I didn't mind because it meant easy seats. They have a lot of booth tables and this place is great for big parties. Happy hour ended at 6PM so we went straight into it. Things to note: - every Friday, Saturday & Sunday they have a mariachi show at 7:45, it sounds really fun to attend - Wednesday there is karaoke and they have the stage for it - they also have a huge tv screen to watch the game (and tvs all around the place) -- Drinks & Food -- We (2 people total) ordered the steak and shrimp fajita to share. While we were waiting, I ordered a mangoñada and I was really excited to see the quantity when it came out. There was fresh mango bits on top and candy that I absolutely loved snacking on. Happy Hour brought the drink down to $6 They also greeted us with salsa & chips When the steak & shrimp came out, it was sizzling! There was a lot of skirt steaks (thin but really flavorful and I was not disappointed), onions and bell pepper. The dish also came with rice & beans I wish they had given us some additional sides like different spices, sour cream etc Overall, great and fun place to dine at! Would recommend read more
