Whole experience was bad. No one spoke English. Food was OK. Waiting was horrendous even though when we ordered food no one told us there is waiting involved.

Came here for the first time with a friend. We ordered a plato & a drink each. He, the vegetarian burrito & a Jarrito, whilst I had 3 al pastor tacos & an (in-house) agua de tamarindo. The tamarind drink was quite good; well balanced tart & sweetness that wasn't too watered down. The tacos were better than average. The meat & pineapple were grilled with some char to them. IMO they were under seasoned but that may just be me. Each taco came with 2 tortillas so in actuality it felt like I got 6 tacos instead of 3 (see pic). The establishment has table as well as counter seating. Layout resembles that of a diner. It was about 20% filled when I was there, both with non-Spanish & Spanish speaking patrons (which I suppose is a good sign?). Service was friendly without being overbearing. All in all, a homely diner-like atmosphere for Mexican food at reasonable prices.

Simply great food and what a helping size! Servers were great too and they cook the food in front of you. Only catch is most servers don't know English if that is a deal breaker for you. We didn't care and we absolutely loved their warmth and the tasty food. Also the feel of everything is very low key and seemingly authentic. Great food place in Atlantic City.

Excellent food!! We've gone here multiple times and drive from 45 minutes away to eat here! Their tacos al pastor are the best I've ever had, and the homemade tortillas are delicious. Highly recommend!!

Ordered food, I never got anything. I called and would get sent to voicemail. Either they don’t care about their clientele or they are scamming people for money.

Top-notch authentic Mexican food here. The tacos al pastor are fantastic. But as a warning, you should know that A) the staff speaks limited English and B) if you dine during a busy time, the service can be very slow. If you're okay with sitting around just enjoying yourself, you'll love it. But if you're in a rush, it probably isn't a good choice.

I've been to Panchos a few years ago on my first visit to Atlantic City and I was not disappointed when i went and made a return visit! Not much has changed it looks like since the last time I was here and I'm perfectly fine with that. The place isn't too much to look at aesthetic wise but the tacos are what I came for. The only thing I wish they would let you do is mix the taco so that I could get one chicken one carne asada and one steak. Nevertheless the tacos were delicious

INCREIBLE!!!! Been in town for 3 days and we've been here 3 times. ITS SOOOOOO GOOD, literally to die for! Homemade tortillas, with incredible meat (my favorites have been Chorizo, Carnitas and Al Pastor). Portions are big for a very great price. I live an hour and a half away but I have no doubt I will be back soon to have it. Try the sopes and the enchiladas😍😍😍😍 I could go on and on about how amazing this place is. The food, the staff, the drinks are all *chefs kiss*. All in all, don't miss out on this place if you're nearby. 🤤🤤🤤

I ordered a chicken Quesadilla and chicken enchilada and they both had no flavor it was very bland and the enchilada looked like they just threw it together. Very over prices for flavorless food and for both it was $30....first and last time

This restaurant is pretty straight forward. What see is what you get. HOWEVER, their food is next level delicious, and i dont say that lightly. My only warning would be to be careful when approaching the salsa, as it is FAR hotter then its unassuming appearance. 👀🔥👅🔥

The food is very fresh and made to order. You can smell the delicious tacos as they are being cooked. The final arrangement of you meal is visually appealing. Why the four I ordered a chicken taco and my partner a beef and some of the beef ended up in the chicken. Additional, the payment system was cumbersome and the back room could benefit from a cleaning. Overall it's a 9/10 clean plates

Awesome & Authentic! The menu is perfect. Its not to big, easy to read with dual language and picture description. Fresh, Fresh, Fresh made in front of you. And they have Beer! Small indoor seating area and counter. Great for a quick lunch or take home. Street parking only.

Get the tacos, lather it with red or tomatillo salsa, and eat them on the beach! The brisket is great, but the chicken and steak don't have much flavor or char to them. The red salsa is more like a spicy, salty taco sauce. Each taco has enough to make two since they give you so much meat and an extra tortilla. The chips are good but if you don't enjoy spicy food, you probably won't like the salsa. It didn't come with limes so ask if they have it. The burrito is basically a giant taco with rice in it, so stick to tacos.

Your hole in the wall Mexican spot for great tacos. Expect long wait times for your order to be taken and food to arrive at your table because this place is understaff.
