We ate dinner here after visiting friends in Murrieta. Home made tortillas! A rare find these days. Hubs got the carnitas taco plate, I got the chicken taco plate plus guacamole. Outstanding! Rice and beans were the bomb! We'll be back. Thanks so much for a great meal! read more

The taste of the food is standard, nothing extraordinary, friendly waiters but terrible service, it took 40 minutes to get our food and the restaurant was not even full. read more

Welcoming ambiance and warm service. Wide menu selection. The carnitas street taco platter was really good. The taco salad with carne asada was loaded with fresh veggies and had the perfect amount of beans and rice. Salsa bar was amazing! read more

Called in an order. Got there and they couldn't find our order. They gave it away to someone else. Three different people that seemed very confused to how it happened took turns looking. Waited an additional 20 minutes for our food. Didn't even take anything off for their mistake. The food was ok. Grilled chicken was the only good part. The place was so hot inside. Won't be back again. read more

This place needs more experienced staff and. We waited nearly two hours for our food and it still wasn't served correctly. The pictures posted online definitely doesn't match the food served read more

Already gone two times in a week! Happy to have found this restaurant, I had been having hard time looking for Mexican food around this area. Can I say! I am surprised that I got chips in both my to go orders! I wasn't expecting that! First time I ordered their carne asada burrito and i was surprised i got chips along with it! Nice touch! Ive also had their carne asada fries which are delish! Their beans taste authentic and home made. Must try! Will be back! read more

Charging $5.50 for each refillable soda is robbery for a little taco shop! Don't gouge your customers!

Kimber's Tostada, minus the cheese. I've eaten a lot of tostadas, most of them with flavorless chicken. This was not the case. From the first to the last bite, delicious. I ate the whole thing even though I got full halfway in. I didn't want to stop enjoying it. read more

02/23/2025 The food was amazing, but the costumer service was above and beyond! The employees are so kind and helpful. The guy sprinted to the door to hold it open when he saw me pushing my friend in his wheelchair. They cut my delicious burrito in bite sized pieces when I told him I can't do it because of my disability. These guys didn't grow up on earth. They are aliens from a planet that teaches people kindness and respect. I'm telling EVERYONE!!! read more

The best beans and rice, but we didn't care for the chile rellenos. Standard dishes pretty good and they will bend over backwards to please you, especially if you're a regular customer. My grown kids often eat and order catering from them for business and personal occasions. Give it a try if you haven't already. read more

Salsa: 5 stars Chips: 3 stars Service: 5 stars Verde sauce: 3 stars. Rice : 3 stars Beans: 4 stars I'd definitely come back to try something else. I've had better verde... I don't normally get verde, but this day I was craving it and it was very sour. Not spicy. The salsa was the best salsa I've ever had. So for the salsa I'd definitely give something else a chance. read more

My wife and I ate here on Thursday. Big disappointment, the Chile relleno was real bad and the "caldo de res" was old and no taste. Please don't come to this place. read more

Food was delicious! I had a ceviche tostado that was very fresh and tasty.My husband enjoyed the beef enchiladas too! The service was friendly and attentive. We would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

The Don Panchos chilaquiles are AMAZING! Go try them yourself. Everyone is always amazed at how good these are.

I had a menudo togo here recently and found a big bug in it. I thought it was a dried chili until I looked closer :/ Completely ruined my appetite read more

I've only been once but going back ASAP. I had heuvos rancheros and my friends all had other things. We all raved about the quality and quantity of the food. And the service is excellent. It's a small place but very comfortable! read more

Authentic Abondigas and Caldo De Res soups. If you are like me and crave Authentic Mexican food, just come here. Home made tortillas and fresh salsa bar. The beans alone are worth their weight in gold. The service is wonderful. Thanks to Gio, We didid not go thirsty! He was very helpful with the menu. Good job amigo! Did I mention they have home made tortillas? No photo becuase I ate all my food. Stay tuned. It was delicious. I'll take photos next time. TTYL read more

Well Well, this lovely gem is delicious in so many ways. I had the chile verde wet burrito and it was beyond delicious! They are 15 bucks but so worth it. They are huge! I had the strawberry margarita and it was tasty. Will definitely be back. Btw the service is great, has a sweet girl for our bartender and I believe the manager came by a few times. He was very friendly and offered above and beyond services! Very happy! And my belly is craving another burrito read more

We love Don Pancho's!! It's our go to spot. Food is always consistently delicious. Staff is super friendly. Would highly recommend!

I'll make this short and to the point. First, overall the food was very good. I had the huevos rancheros and my wife had the basic eggs, beans and potatoes. My issue was the very small serving of potatoes I got with my plate. Did you run out? I think I had around nine pieces. My wife had at least twenty. Keep portions equal. Second, what's with the plastic spoons? You have regular stainless silverware! I'll buy you real spoons. Third, when a customer asks for more coffee, they should never hear, we're brewing a fresh pot. Always have coffee on the ready. I had to stop eating my breakfast so I can drink it with my meal. But besides these few issues we'll be back. Our waitress was sweet as well. read more

What can I say? We've been doing Taco Tuesday at Don Pancho's for several years and have never been disappointed.

Consistently great Mexican food especially their house salsas. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Dining in or takeout is good.

Our go to for local margaritas. Decent prices for sit down, outdoor dining (on the sidewalk-post COVID) Mexican food based on todays inflated pricing. I like to say we're locals having lived in the area right down the street for 20+ years and know and love Mexican food in California. No restaurant is perfect and hits all the spots-hence the rating. read more

Decent meat. Very impressive tortillas and a nice local gem. Would be better if all the salsas were ready to go at opening time.

The food is authentic and well made! I got a ceviche tostada and a green enchilada. The beans have been soooo good the times I've been there! read more

Came here because I was craving Chilaquiles. I had tried most restaurants in the area already and wanted a new place. As you come in, they greet you with a smile. At Don Panchos, you first order the food at the front and then they give you a number and you go find a table. The staff will bring out chips and salsa as well as your drinks while they make your food. The chips were fresh and good. The food did not take too long to come out so that was a plus. The Chilaquiles had a good taste. I also had a taco de lengua. Though the taco wasn't bad, it definitely was not worth $5. The plus to the taco was that the tortilla was freshly made. Would I get the taco again, no. Looking across other tables, the food that was coming out looked good as well. They have a bar area so I may have to go back and try the drinks. read more

This place is off CK and Palomar. It is just okay and stop here to grab a bite here and there. Their food is decent but their service can be a little slow sometimes. The place itself is very lowkey. To me is an okay choice if you are around the area craving mexican food, not in a hurry and want to keep it lowkey. read more

Amazing service and delicious food, each and every single time I've been here. I recently came by after a tennis match and we dined on the patio under some shade. Attentive service, and very friendly. Enjoyed our meals very much, especially loved their avocado salsa!! Whether it is a birthday dinner or a celebratory lunch after a team win, it's a great reason to visit here for some delicious meals. read more

Local family owned restaurant, with awesome customer service. Ordered take out quick and easy. Ordered caldo de res (beef stew), chicken soup, caldo de albóndigas (meatball soup), shrimp cocktail and some crispy tacos. All of it was delicious and their corn tortillas are soft and smell homemade. Place is clean. read more

We were the only ones inside so the food came out very quickly. Ordered an Al Pastor Cali Burrito. The burrito itself was good. Fresh and good quality. Little on the small side for $14 but it came with chips and salsa because we sat down. Tables were clean but the ceiling vents had about an inch of dust caked to them. Workers were very friendly. Overall it was decent. read more

Don Pancho's - Al Pastor Cali Burrito $14 - Mexican Near Me - Wildomar, California

This was the worst Mexican food I've had. We ordered a Cali burrito and it was terrible. The tortilla was dry and chewy. The meat tasted bad like it's been sitting out for hours. The portion was small. Fries were stale. Literally nothing about this burrito was good. Thank God for salsa and pickled carrots or otherwise I would've tossed 14 dollars in trash. read more

I preordered 3 burritos and two taquitos. I get to my destination and find out that one of my breakfast burritos was wrong. I ordered a chorizo w/egg whites& potatoes, but received a carne asada. I don't eat beef so I know I would t have ordered it. Mind you I don't live near this restaurant, so I tried calling 6 times and it was either busy and when they finally picked up I was hung up on 3 times. Totally disappointed & pissed. read more

Pozole is on point and is very authentic and super flavorful. Took one to go and the Jamaica is perfect as well. Salsa is spicy and freshly made. Enchiladas were also very good as they definitely make their red sauce in house. read more

The food was amazing! We had asada tacos, asada fries, chilaquiles plate, Carme asada plate. The place is amazing as well, the staff very friendly and very nice. This will definitely be the spot to go every time we're in the area. read more

What a hidden gem! This is some of the best Mexican food we have had in a while. We had the carne asada and Al pastor tacos. The beans and rice are delicious and the salsa is great! Will definitely come again. Great staff too. read more

We have never been here before and it is going to be a place we frequent from now on. We don't live in Wildomar but Don Pancho's Chilie Verde Burrito made me cry. I'm not even the biggest fan of pork. The food took me back to my childhood and there was a little hole in the wall Mexican Food place my grandma used to take us to that had awesome burritos. Don Pancho's food is so fresh, no grease, they use real ingredients that you can tell they actually chop and prepare by hand. My burrito was so good and the pork was so flavorful and deliciously tender. The sauce was so good too and not overly spicy. The staff makes the restraunt great. They were so warm and friendly it felt like you were coming home to eat. I listened to the wait staff and they were taking their time visiting with each table of customers but never being neglectful of the other guests needs. Very very clean, smelled so delicious when we got in. It was slow when we got there but oh man did it get packed quick. I give this a 15 out of 10 stars. Just one of the best experiences I've ever had. I left full, happy and with old memories floating in and out that were making me cry a little bit. Just great. read more

I get this every time I come here: it's the steak fajita with flour tortillas ... I know this always delicious ... but wat gets me though the doors is the chips and house salsa.. a must try. read more

Great food and wonderful service. I went to Yelp and discovered Don Pancho's because it was highly rated and along our route from Escondido to Long Beach. I had the Chile Verde wet burrito and thoroughly enjoyed it. It had meaty chunks of pork with a tasty green chile sauce over it. It was quite big so I opted to eat half of it and save the rest for later. The rest of my family had the Surf & Turf burrito, shrimp burrito, kids chicken meal and the taquitos. Not a morsel was left! To top it off, the service was excellent! We told them this was our first time visiting and they provided some recommendations. They knew to provide a cup of water with a lid for our three year old and l hooked us up with chips & salsa. I highly recommend Don Pancho's! read more

I've only been here once but I loved it! In addition to good food it was clean and the people working there are super friendly! While there I got a plate of Steak Fajitas which tasted great. To go I got a small meatball soup for my sister and for myself (for later) a small chicken soup and a shrimp cocktail. We loved all of it and I'll be back! read more
