    Outside!
    Chloe B.

    Los Panchos serves up solid, no-frills Mexican food. The menu has all the basics you'd expect--tacos, burritos, enchiladas--nothing too fancy, but it hits the spot if you're craving classic Mexican flavors. Portions are good for the price, and the service is usually quick and friendly. It's not the most authentic or elevated spot, but if you want simple, straightforward Mexican food, Los Panchos gets the job done.

    Molcajete Menu Description
    Shannon S.

    They have some really great dishes on the menu if you look past the usual items wrapped in tortillas. Their Caldo de Res (beef soup) is really great and a huge serving. The Molajete fajita bowl is also another huge serving and it comes sizzling and bubbling hot in an actual volcanic rock bowl which keeps it piping hot and makes for a really nice eating experience. They do have some drink specials here but you do have to monitor the drink strength as it varies depending on who is making them and sometimes they can be on the weak side. I sampled their gigantic huge super sized margarita which is larger than my head but I found it to be EXTREMELY weak so make sure to let your server know if you got "unlucky" in the booze department. My video review of Los Panchos is here: https://youtu.be/HmyuoAF1QyI

    Beef Taco, Barbacoa Taco, Carne Asada Taco. Not good to me.
    Crystal B.

    I'm not a fan of this place. This was my second visit and I just don't dig the food. The meat is not savory and carne asada is not tender. The barbacoa was okay but I can't say I love the food. The soft white corn shells are tasteless and soggy. I prefer the crunchy shells, which are not authentic Mexican ones but better to me. I'll stick to my own homemade tacos.

    I have been here several times and NEVER had bad customer service. Just left and Mercy M was my server and she never checked on me. I had to called her more than once for a to go box and my receipt. When I was getting ready to pay, I told her that she had bad customer service skills because she never checked on me, asked if the food was good, nothing, and she rolled her eyes at me. I asked her name and she looked at me and said nothing. I asked the other employee her name and she looked at Mercy and didn't say anything. I asked for the manager and was told she is gone. So I took a picture of the receipt and than her and she gone say don't take a picture of me you stupid bitxh. The cook started looking and I asked him where was the manager. I proceed to tell him what happened and how she called me a stupid bitxh and he apologized and gave me a card to call the manager. I got her name from the receipt, but I'm going back to talk to the manager in person tomorrow!!!!

    Chicken Flautas Lunch (missing guacamole and sour cream)
    Anastasia G.

    This review is for a takeout order only. I cannot speak to the atmosphere or customer service of the establishment. I ordered the chicken flautas lunch, which, according to the menu, comes with rice, beans, guacamole salad, and sour cream. My coworker picked up the order, and was told that everything was there. However, they had entirely forgotten the guacamole salad and sour cream. In all fairness, I was not able to give them the opportunity to remedy this, as it wasn't realized until the coworker brought the food back to the office. Unfortunately, the food was also very bland and under-salted. Had it been more flavorful, I might not have missed the missing items. Luckily, there was at least a decent salsa, but overall, it was an underwhelming lunch.

    This was decent Mexican food, service was average. Food was average, nothing to write home about. A good place to grad a quick bite.

    Steak Chimichanga
    John L. H.

    Los Panchos is the best Mexican food on the Westbank. Located on Terry Parkway near the Roaring 20's bar (check it out, trust me), half of the restaurant was once a Popeye's. Don't let that turn you off because the dining area is actually quite large. There are several booths along both walls with a few tables in the middle of the floor. The meal started with a small carafe of salsa and a bowl for each diner. The salsa was very good. Unlike many restaurants, their version was pleasantly chunky and actually had flavor other than tomatoes. Every item that I have tried was very good. Ive had both the steak chimichanga and the standard burrito. The steak chimichanga was basically steak fajitas inside of a fried burrito. I would have preferred it as a standard burrito that wasn't fried, but that option wasn't available to me. Both items were very large and enough for two meals. I think this may become my go-to Westbank Mexican joint. If you are on the Westbank and want good, cheap Mexican food, give Los Panchos a try.

    E3. Enchiladas Verdes  Carnitas Taco Carne Asada Taco 4. Refried Beans a la Carte
    Victoria R.

    I'm from San Antonio, TX and have lived here since 2018. Ever since I moved here I've been on a non-stop search for some great Mexican food that I'm used to finding easily in Texas. I finally found it today. I ordered the Enchiladas Verdes with an Asada & Carnita taco, and my friends got the steak nachos. I got one chicken and one cheese enchilada and they were both perfectly cooked and seasoned. The refried beans were also perfect. Rice was good but a little bland. (Still 5 stars) This place is 20 minutes from where I live across the bridge but I'm more than excited to eat here again and again. The horchata was also amazing and you can tell they didn't use the powdered.

    First bite.

    This place is nothing to write home about. The food came out EXTREMELY FAST, but when I first walked in the lady in the front sent me to the dinner room only for the hostess to send me right back... Ummmmmmm Miss ask me if it's take out or dine in, please don't just assume. The food is just okay.

After finally finding a place to park we were told that it would be a 15-20 minute wait. We went to the bar to get a drink while waiting. We didn't even get a chance to order a drink because a table was ready that quickly. We didn't order an appetizer we just went straight to the meal. My wife ordered the fish taco dinner with corn tacos and I had the ground meat tacos with flour tortillas.Well, to make a long story short, the tacos were a big disappointment. My wife said the seasoning on the grilled fish tacos was nonexistent. Whenever we order tacos she usually gets the grilled fish taco's and she said these just weren't up to snuff. As far as my tacos they were pretty bad. They were greasy and gummy, a bad combination. I don't know if it was my fault that I didn't specify corn tortillas but I thought tacos were with corn tortillas unless you asked for flour tortillas. Anyway, I couldn't even finish mine..My wife washed hers down with a beer as did I. The service was great and there's a magician who goes around the tables doing magic tricks while you're waiting for your food. We loved him. It was almost worth going just to see him. For dessert my wife ordered the flan and I the 3 milk cake. Liked the cake a lot and the flan was okay. The restaurant was recommended so highly that we'll give them another try.

Hate the plastic glasses, but at least get the drink cold. COLD. An on-the-rocks margarita is not supposed to be lukewarm. This was. I strained into my water glass and added ice, let it cool, and poured it back in the margarita glass. There were three of us and two of our three orders came out wrong (one specifically asked for NO cheese and it was covered in it). Mine was a "Caesar" in menu name only. A Caesar is a RECIPE. Imagine ordering chicken cordon bleu and getting pork, bacon and cheddar. Or a BLT and getting salami, avocado, and bell peppers. That's what it is like when you order a Caesar and it's not a Caesar. It was that far off of what a Caesar is. Call it an El Patron Chef Salad. Call it a House Salad. But a Caesar doesn't have avocado, tortilla strips (???), red onions and tomatoes. What it does have? Dressing. This one did not and was room temperature. Even with the dressing (which obviously isn't homemade but was serviceable) still not a Caesar. Caesars in good restaurants are on a chilled plate but that's minor (this was frankly out-of-the-dishwasher warm) compared to it NOT BEING a Caesar. Wasn't very busy (we were in the big room with all the slices of trees on the wall) had about five tables and 15-17 people total? Service was pretty slow. The server was very nice, but the fact that I'm having to tell the server that a Caesar is supposed to have Caesar dressing (which they do carry. The kitchen just hadn't put it on anywhere on the salad.) speaks to a lack of training. Salsa was average, but not exceptional. Overall, completely middle of the road. I'm Coloradan and I'm used to amazing Mexican food and this was below average. Hence the three stars. If Yelp had a 1-10 scale it would get a 3 or 4.

Clean dining area with lots of natural light. (Yes, this is a thing for me.) Husband had the Crispy Flautas w/chicken, and I went for the Trio Plate with a chicken quesadilla, a pork pupusa and a beef enchilada with the green salsa as recommended by Rosalinda. When the plate came out, I thought I was in heaven! My husband enjoyed his flautas, and I loved what I ordered! I wish I had taken a picture because it was beautiful, but I dove right in. Each item was exactly one person size, so I ate without overeating and didn't feel like I wasted anything. Four stars is simply for the rice and beans being "lackluster," (maybe offer an alternative, like a salad or cup of soup?), and once people started coming in - and they did - service got a bit stretched. Would I go back? Absolutely! Lots of choices to experience. Our meals, 2 sodas and a Corona w/tax before tip was $41.

(I requested these items first) I also ordered a cheese quesadilla with a side of beans, an order of pupusas and a chimichanga. When I asked if I could have the side of beans, our waitress said to me: what beans? I said the side of beans I ordered with the quesadilla and then she responded with: that's not the type of quesadilla I ordered. I said ok, can I please have a side of beans, then she replied the quesadilla comes with rice and beans already. Alright! Then the waitress asked me if I wanted something to drink I said a sweet tea please. My tea never arrived. After we received our meals, she never came to check on us; after we finished eating 15 mins passed when my husband decided to load the kids in the car. I asked someone else for to go boxes because our waitress was on a cellphone. The hubs went to pump gas in the car and still no sign of the check. I got up and went to the front to try to pay because I needed to go. And no, not impressed with the steak tacos with the chopped meat.

Today I wanted something different and inexpensive. I checked Yelp, saw it was right there, and had to talk myself into it because I eat tacos ALL the time... like I'm lowkey taco'd out. But something about authentic tacos on corn from a lil shack like this? They hit different. So I went with my move. I looked at the menu and saw tongue tacos... and that sold me Mind you, I NEVER had tongue before. But I said I wanted something different, so let's stand on that. Pulled up around lunch--about 3 people waiting. There's an option to call ahead too. I waited a few minutes, but they acknowledged me quick, and you could tell they were working, so I wasn't tripping. Ordered 3 tacos: tongue (of course), shredded beef, and pork. Threw in pupusas because why not--it's been years. And a melon juice. Total was about $29, got my number, waited maybe 8-10 minutes. When they handed me the bag... it had a little weight on it I already knew. I ate in my car since there's no real inside seating, and started with the pork taco. Now listen... pork tacos can be DRY. I don't really order them for that reason. But THIS one?? Juicyyyyy. Like juices-on-my-shirt type juicy (I'm too grown for that ). Flavor was there, shredded perfect--they changed my whole outlook on pork tacos. Then I tasted the other two because they looked similar. First one ended up being the tongue... and babyyyy. Tender. Soft. It reminded me of goat--real rich and flavorful. I can't even believe I tried it, let alone LIKED it. I'm officially sold. The beef was good too, but after that tongue taco? It was hard to compete, I'm not even gonna lie. That red salsa? Flavorful with a kick. I love spice... but spice don't always love me back Still worth it. The melon juice started off a little grainy (you can tell it's real fruit), but once it settled, it smoothed out. Super refreshing. Now them pupusas... I did NOT expect two. That's why the bag felt like that Stuffed with meat and cheese, crispy on the outside, soft inside. Came with the pickled cabbage/carrot mix and that tomato-based sauce--everything worked together. Not spicy, just balanced. Only thing I'd note--no prices listed, but for everything I got (plus that big 32oz drink), it was honestly worth it.
