“My favorite place for Mexican food. Hands down! Every time I visit for lunch or dinner, everything has been awesome!! The staff is super friendly and helpful. Chori pollo is my go to dish. Paired with a Pepsi, you can't go wrong!”

“Absolute 5 ⭐️I have no complaints! I love coming here when I walk in it never dissapoints. Food and Service Great. Love the look and seating comfy. Gracias Can't back again . Salsa has a kick to it now I like it.!”

“Un lugar tranquilo, Siempre que vengo me atienden bien. El servicio es 10/10 La comida es muy rica Recomiendo camarones al rodeo Precios muy razonables Y no olviden tomar un mojito Realmente delicioso Volveré pronto..✨”

“🌮🫔🌯🍹 I had mixed feelings about Plaza Los Panchos. The atmosphere and service were nice, but something felt off about the place. The tacos looked great, but the meat was overcooked, which took away from the experience. It’s still a decent option if you want to give it a try, but personally, it wasn’t for me.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“First and foremost my girlfriend and I went and placed order we saw the ceiling was leaking and after we ordered they messed up on my order and while I was nice as they were making it again my girlfriend started eating and she found hair in her food and they didn’t seem to care and no one spoke good English.. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Employee even said they are in trouble with health department. And manager knows about food issues and don’t care about food safety and quality”
“Quick food and service every time I've gone here. Highly recommend!”
“Service is excellent. Food came out quick. I had the a seafood mexican dinner....loved it ! Had a party of 10 and we all had great food and service.”
