After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last…read moreyear, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that it would be appropriate this year to go back to this restaurant, who I was the first one to review when they opened their doors to the public, and write a follow-up review, since my initial review was one of my reviews that contributed to me obtaining this highly esteemed Award. I went back to eat at this restaurant with the same friend who originally had come with me when I dined here and wrote my first review. We arrived at its parking lot and I noticed that their vinyl banner still remained covering the professional sign of the previous restaurant. Now it also had another vinyl sign that read: "Now Open Sunday's." And yet another that read: "Everyday Specials" and "Happy Hour 5 to 7pm." It seems that they were being successful by having a clean place, with great food, at reasonable prices, and with excellent customer service. When we went inside, the place was cleaner than ever before and nicely painted with vibrant colors, and the tables and chairs in the center were painted with Mexican motifs and then shellacked with a glossy coat of shellac. This gave character to the place, while maintaining its cleanliness. The menu had expended somewhat, with Everyday Specials. Like on Tuesdays the daily special was the Tacos Rojas and on Wednesdays the California Brrito; all for $11.99. Our server welcomed us at the door and pointed out the table where another friend of ours was going to join us there. She had already purchased a basket of Chips & Salsa from the appetizer menu. It seems they have continued this tradition that is practiced in Mexico rather than offering complimentary Chips and Salsa like in Mexican Restaurants here in America are used to. I ordered the Carnitas Burrito My friend ordered the Rojas Burrito. Our other friend ordered a Chicken Quesadilla. All the food came in large portions, looking delicious, and tasted amazing. What I missed is that they didn't have any sides. The combination of a clean and comfortable environment, together with wonderful food at reasonable prices, and served by very friendly servers, continues to make this Mexican restaurant very popular if you live or work in the area. Although many of their loyal customers are willing to drive there to enjoy a genuine Mexican cuisine dining experience.

Never got Salsa with my meal even after I asked for it. Long wait to order, long wait to get food & long wait for check. Short of help, those 2 servers struggled to get it done. I do think they should apologize to their customers and explain that there is a problem. I doubt I will go back for quite some time.

I ordered online. For some reason, the order for my beverage didn't convey to them, but I showed…read morethem the email receipt and they got it for me quickly. I came seeking pupusas, and theirs were deliciously grilled and delivered satisfaction. The price was a bit high for lunch, but I could not accuse them of shorting me, either with respect to the abundant flower buds embedded inside the pupusa, or the pleasantly pickled sides. I took a chance on a tropical fruit I'd never heard of, and I got a ton of it that took me two days to drink, with a fascinating flavor and enough pulp to make it clear this was real fruit (although I'm guessing they add sugar to these things). I wish their menu made it clear whether the beans were vegetarian and I could have done with the ability to mix and match pupusa flavors rather than getting three of the same one, but my basic craving was fulfilled.

This Pancho Mexican Restaurant is located in Vinton, Virginia. It was the second of three to open,…read morethe other two being the first one in Daleville and the third one at Towers Shopping Center in Roanoke, Virginia. They are a family owned local business. Located in the East Vinton Plaza, this casual Mexican Restaurant serves menu items for lunch and dinner and a popular lunch buffet with all-you-can-eat option. A friend of mine invited me last Tuesday to go there for dinner. When we arrived the restaurant was clean with walls nicely painted and and with a few framed paintings on the wall and colorful painted booths with Mexican motifs. The host greeted us with a warm welcome and handed us our menus. The menus were pretty much the same as those of the other two restaurants. Very nicely designed with color pictures of.some of the items on the menu. You can tell that this was a very popular restaurant in the neighborhood because in the time we were there many other customers came in and were seated. Our server welcomed us with a smile and took our order. To drink we just had iced water. As our main course my friend had the Guadalajara Especial and I had the Flautas, from the Mixed Specialties area of the menu. As we waited we enjoyed some wonderful fresh tortilla Chips with an amazing salsa. When the main courses were ready our server brought them to us. They tasted as good as they looked. Our server came by our table at reasonable times to check on us and see if we needed anything such as a refill of our water. Considering the Cleanliness of the restaurant, the nice variety of items on the menu, the quality of the chips and salsa, the big portions of food cooked to perfection and very tasty, and of course the excitement customers service provided by all servers, I highly recommend this restaurant as one of the better Mexican restaurants in the area.

With the number of good Mexican restaurants in town I will never eat here again and do not recommend it for you!

The food was delicious, although I personally prefer a little more spice. ( There is a table with variety of sauces to choose from.) If it's your first time visiting, a little more guidance on how things work would help, like ordering and paying at the counter before sitting down, and that you can leave your plates on the table since the staff clears them for you. Overall, it's a pretty chill spot with great food and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out.

I will say something's are on the pricey side, but I don't mind when it's a small business. My husband said the strawberry ice cream tasted freshly made. It was a bit busy on a Tuesday evening around 7pm - they are open until 9:30. It took a bit for our order but nothing outrageous. They were just making previous orders. Dubai Strawberries were $15 but you get a generous amount for that price! Loved the inside of the shop - flowers & pink - clean inside too. Come check them out! Support small businesses.
