Good food, it's a little pricey for what it is but it's open late and food was good. It's a bit hard to find but it's on the side of the building. Chill workers great service.

amazing food, even better service! BYOB friendly and affordable. Will definitely be back

Food was tasty and prepared fast. Host was extremely kind and thoughtful. Nice spot for quick good food and affordable!

We just moved to the area and we're craving for some really good Mexican food. We ordered the chicken burrito bowl, barbacoa enchilada and barbacoa chimichanga. We were blown away by how amazing the food was! Everything was packed with delicious food. The meat were cooked perfectly and were seasoned with so much flavor. The guacamole was fresh and the sauces made the food even more amazing. The person who helped us order was incredibly nice and went out of the way to make the experience even better. Thanks to him we got the delicious chimichanga with the pineapple sauce and wow what an amazing combination. Everyone should try this place and now I know where I'll be every week

Awesome place to come with friends. I will come back again. BYOB friendly. Open until 3am, can you believe it? and the thing I love more was the people who work there, thank you

Initially I was very skeptical about this place due to the bad reviews I heard when they first opened. But little did I know, I was in for a pleasant surprise. The food is actually very good. We ordered the flautas, barbacoa chimichanga, chicken nachos and the Mexican bbq wings. I heard their queso is homemade and boy did they not disappoint! It's probably the best I've ever had. I didn't care too much for the wings since it was just very large fatty wings with sweet bbq sauce but their customer service really made up for it. Hence the 5 star rating. Id say the portions are very filling. Even as an appetizer. Prices are extremely reasonable, cheap in my opinion. I hope in the future they add birrira tacos. I will definitely be back to try other items! Definitely recommend!!

Looking for a halal spot open until late? I'm so glad to have found Don Panchito! They are a mexican cuisine which is reasonably priced. I definitely recommend their loaded nachos, you can ask to add meat to it. It's not super oily, and is jam packed with cheese and sauces x The employee helping us, was really cool to talk to also. He told us their churros are good and actually brought us some to taste. They were indeed delicious. Super fresh and very flavorful. We had a pleasant experience and hope to come back to try more dishes from their menu. PS: The restaurant might be a difficult to find. The entrance is on the back side of the parking area.

Came here on Sunday with a friend and the place was empty at the time. Pretty soon it started picking up and there was only 1 waitress. At times she did forget to bring us the sauces or put our dessert order in. You could tell she was new but she was friendly and really trying though. The food was good, it has a lot of flavor and was a decent sized portion. The fried Oreos were amazing! Omygosh I would come in just to get these! We also got the tres leches which was a little underwhelming when compared to the picture of it on the yelp page. We ended up talking the owner who was really sweet and just telling us about how he started the restaurant. We gave him some feedback and he was really thankful, he even gave us our desserts for free! Will definitely be back sometime in the future! This place is BYOB! Bring your own water too because they give you bottles for $1.50/each.
