text: There is no use in pretending Panchos is a haven for good Mexican food you know it is not it is a haven for the fatties and college kids I made many a stop at Panchos during my college years and on my most recent nostalgia filled trip I realized it just is not the same anymore Same less than good food same little flags you raise same sopaipillas you want to eat until you vomit but now I have a steady paycheck and access to whatever food I would like so it is not all that exciting anymore I did not even eat until I thought I would die sad day But look Panchos fills the niche it is shooting for perfectly you are getting all you can eat Mexican food for a few dollars you cannot expect to be served food comparable to The Mission it is going to be cheap and underwhelming but TONS of cheap and underwhelming I will be stopping by here every rare once in a while just for old times sake but if you are in college and lacking money or a fatty trying to support your habit Panchos is AOK
