I ordered the Denver omelette which was delicious and perfectly prepared. None of that overcooked burned egg crust stuff, The omelette was light and fluffy. A good ratio of meat and veggies inside.The home potato's had perfect crusty edges. The green salsa was perfect for those like me who can't take much spice. Coffee was a little strong. The sour dough toast wasn't a true sour dough. It tasted like white bread. Service was a 10 . Mau was friendly and kept checking to see if we needed anything. He usually works at the orange location, I know because I liked his service so well that I asked him. I loved the upbeat music which made for a relaxing leisurely breakfast. It was very clean inside. Bathroom was a plus. It was very clean. No nasty smells or dirty toilet or funky smells. Which is rare.

The customer service wasn't the best -- it felt like the staff could be a bit more attentive and welcoming. The food was okay, not terrible, but not something I'd come back for unless they improve their dishes and add better plate options to the menu. Also, the music was pretty old and a little corny, which threw off the vibe of the place. With better service, improved food choices, and an updated atmosphere, this spot could be much better, and cleaner.

Casa De Pancho overall was good except the LONG, LONG wait!! We didn't get our food until after 30…read moremins 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!

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.

The timing is uncanny because I keep running into highly social, blue collar professionals with quite the appetite. And y'know what? Based on how comfortable they are with the staff, I can tell they are regulars that truly enjoy the food. That alone should tell you a lot! Definitely gotta show some love to their Taco Tuesday special (.89 cents for most; $1.99 for other proteins if I remember correctly). I'm rarely in the area these days, but their fish tacos with the salsa verde are so delicious. My friend who introduced this place to me actually grew up eating here after school. She loves the lengua and cabeza tacos so I'll have to give those a try the next time I'm in town.

Make sure to bring exact money/ change because for some reason they don't like giving what they owe back.

I'm not sure if that is because I ordered to-go or not, so be sure to double check if you choose to order from here. My meal did come with chips and salsa at least. Chips and salsa: 2.5/5. The chips weren't too oily and had a good crunch. The salsa has a little heat but was otherwise rather mild and plain tasting. Shrimp burrito: 2.5/5. Inside the burrito was some sort of creamy sauce, rice, salsa, shrimp, and cheese. The shrimp was rather bland, but the rice was decent, soft, and seasoned. Everything else was middling. The end result was just a passing grade burrito.

Friendly service, slightly dated but comfy feeling atmosphere. It was a weekday evening, not crowded and the staff was on top of each table, no one left hanging. I enjoyed their bean/cheese burrito and enchilada combo plate. Overall I was pleased except I felt the chicken was dry AF. I had my burrito made wet, so I was able to use the sauce from that to mask the dry.. Priced right for this current status of the world. The chips and salsa make for a nice complimentary starter, quite flavorful for a simple addition.

The Birria beef was super tender, rich, and savory. With the red sauce, there's a nice and deep spice with a mild heat that adds to the meal's heartiness. The plate also includes corn 3 tortillas, onions, and cilantro to make tacos. The rice and beans are standard fare but still provides a nice palette cleanser for the Birria.

The bartender acknowledged us right away and brought us menus. They had the hockey playoffs on the TV which was great cause we've been tuning in lately too! My fiancé decided on the house margarita and said it was delicious. Even though it was a "small" (they also come in "large") it was a very reasonably sized marg. She said it was pretty strong, so props for that haha. We stuck to the appetizer menu and went with a steak quesadilla and a shrimp ceviche. The Quesadilla was amazing: tons of queso, poblano chilis, and the steak was so juicy. You could really taste every ingredient in this thing. If we go back, I would definitely order it again. The ceviche was my fiancé's favorite, tasty shrimp, peppers, and avocado in a bomb orange/lime juice. I had to stop her from straight up slurping it up like a soup. She was a big fan, and she orders ceviche often. This was our first visit to Cha Cha's and we really enjoyed it. We've seen it a bunch of times while in downtown Brea, so we thought we'd give it a try, and I guess we've been missing out! The ambience was nice: not too loud, strong drinks, long menu, friendly staff, sports on the tv, and I was shocked when I saw the bill, very reasonably priced. We'll be back, for sure!
