On a very hot day, it was so nice to walk into the restaurant and enjoy their air conditioning, which felt like a breath of fresh air. The place was getting busy, but our service remained good, and our food came out quickly. Everything we ordered was tasty. I didn't manage to finish my meal, so I took it to go and enjoyed it the next day. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was still delicious. Overall, Los Panchos is a solid spot for a satisfying meal, especially on a hot day, and I would definitely recommend it!

On top of that, his own burrito was missing three ingredients that he specifically requested. When he politely tried to address the issues, the owner of this location was very disrespectful. Several customers who witnessed the interaction even commented that the owner should not have handled the situation that way. Instead of trying to resolve the problem or simply remaking the burritos, they refused to serve him, even though we had already paid $51 for two burritos and two drinks. Save your money and spend it somewhere that values its customers and is willing to make things right when there is a problem. By far one of the worse restaurants I have been too.

It had beans, rice, and cilantro inside! You can also request for cheese. The burrito had authentic Mexican flavors! Unlike the typical Karen burrito from California tortilla. I loved the spicy notes, the savoriness of the ingredients, and also the generous portions! I definitely will be back to try more burritos! This was a great breakfast to start my day.

The chips and salsa were the best part of the entire visit. The salsa was full of flavor, full of aroma, with a spice that hits and fades just right, pulling you back in for another bite. I'd buy a tub of it without hesitation. I saw a daily special, two enchiladas with rice and beans, and ordered that along with a strawberry wine margarita, mostly out of curiosity. When it arrived blended, I expected a sangria‑tequila hybrid. Instead, it tasted like nothing. Just cold, blended liquid with no real identity. Before I could figure it out, the food hit the table, fast. Less than five minutes. The rice and beans had no flavor. Salt helped, but only a little. The tiny salad on the plate didn't add anything for me. But the enchiladas were solid. I got them with ground beef, and the red sauce was flavorful, the beef seasoned well. Pico de gallo on top isn't my thing, but once everything blended together, I ate it up. I tried the margarita again mid‑meal. This time I could taste a faint wine note, like a very light blended sangria. Not something I'd order again, but definitely an experience. Honestly, Vallarta shines in two places: the salsa and the enchiladas. If they ever decide to serve proper sangrias in a few flavors, I'd come back just for that, and a basket of chips with that salsa.

When we arrived we were the only people in the restaurant, but so long as that doesn't bother you, it is worth a visit! We had the quesabirria as an appetizer, which was very tasty. The appetizer was huge, which I feel justified the price ($16). For dinner, we split the two enchilada combo with rice & beans, which was also enjoyable. The green sauce was spicier than expected but overall we both were happy with it! Again, enough to split, so I felt the price was justified ($16). The only item we tried that I did not feel was justifiably priced was the churro and ice cream dessert. I've had fresher churros and ice cream from a local food truck for almost half the cost, and unfortunately the dessert just left a lot to be desired for the $13 cost. The churros were fairly hard and the ice cream had ice chips throughout; I'm guessing it's not a frequently ordered dish. Flavor was great, but for $13 I would have expected better quality. All in all it was a satisfactory visit and I wouldn't be opposed to coming back!

The restaurant was closed at the time as it was night time, but we were attracted by the bright lights of the food truck! We enjoyed the tacos and horchata and have been raving about it since. Knowing we'd be in the area once more on another sequoia trip, we knew we had to re-visit. Our Airbnb was located in Visalia and it looks like they have another location there as well, however, after calling, I confirmed that it isn't the exact same menu and it's owned by different brothers. Knowing this, I knew I had to go back to the exact location we went to last. This time around, I opted for 2 carne asada tacos and 2 Al pastor tacos. The tacos each come with raw finely chopped onion, pico de gallo and guacamole, with perfectly grilled onions and jalapeño on the side. The carne asada meat was perfectly cooked per usual and it had a delicious smoky flavor and the al pastor was just as delicious! Horchata - not too overpowering and perfectly sweetened. If I ever find myself in central cali, I'll be back in a heartbeat! Also, please note that the truck names tacos way is the same exact food as the restaurant called Los arbolitos, the restaurant just has an expanded menu.

Props to the lady who apparently hurt her ankle who was still at work. But I'm sorry, just doesn't make up for the lack of quality. Small burrito, meat was the only flavored thing in it. Too much sour cream, the guac was very less and towards the bottom and wasn't even really guac. Just chunks of avocado. Fries were soggy, asked for them extra crispy and didn't get them that way lol. Tortilla was even undercooked a little. The al pastor taco was something else entirely lol. It had a nice flavor at first, then just completely turned into a mushy pork taco. No real flavor of al pastor, just salty then bland. Lemon helped a little and the tortilla itself was nice. But i would definitely skip the pastor. Salsas were great. The green salsa had a nice kick to it, cups sizes were nice and they gave the amount i asked for. Overall its gonna be a pass for me again. It's been a while since I've been here, had high hopes for being the first California Burrito I'm trying and i was disappointed. Oh well, onto the next!
