This has been our go-to Mexican restaurant since they opened. Food has been good, but they started charging for chips unlike most other restaurants. Tonight, however was a defining point. We edited over 10 minutes and in spite of having 3 servers walk past us without a simple acknowledgement. We walked out which is something of which I can't ever remember doing with any restaurant. Given the impending opening on another Mexican restaurant with great reviews, it is imperative that Los Panchos gets their act together. It remains to be seen if we return. read more

Absolutely love coming here! This is mg family and is favorite Mexican restaurant in the area!! Anytime we're in the area of San Ramon/ Danville wanting Mexican food, this is our spot! We've been coming here for years and honestly, the quality of the food just keeps improving with every visit! The hostesses and waitresses are so kind and helpful, they are very flexible too whether or not you'd like to sit outside, have children or even animals with you. They're very accommodating! Very good service! They're also attentive and constantly asking how the food is or if you may need anything without being over bearing. It's great! The ambiance is fun too! The inside has a really nice design wrapping around the building, there's a salsa bar for your plate or chips. Everything is always clean, no sticky floors, super clean bathrooms and tables are always wiped down nicely. The food is absolutely delicious! That last time I came with my sister and I usually get the chile verde plate, it was phenomenal! It tasted better than it ever has and it made me so happy! It was a little spicy which was great and the pork was cooked to perfection. This place really just keeps getting better and better. I want wait to come back! We love it here read more

Los Panchos Mexican Restaurant - #11 Chile Verde Plate - Mexican Near Me - Danville, California

Los Panchos serves standard Mexican faire. The restaurant has a kitchen on the right side of the restaurant with a lattice barrier between the kitchen and inside seating. This is a nice touch for restaurants shaped like this We ate outside on their covered patio. Seating felt cozy and appealing without feeling cramped. The tortilla chicken had nice flavors. The pulled pork plate had plenty of meat with excellent flavor Our server was friendly and helpful. With costs rising, they charge $3 for unlimited chips for up to four people. This is a bargain. read more

Stopped in for the first time for lunch. I was craving some crunchy tacos and this place has some yummy ones. I only like crunchy tacos when it's prepared as tacos dorados which is when they put the meat in the tortilla and the whole thing is deep fried. My buddy has the flauta plate and that looked good too and he finished all of it. Good salsas and for margaritas. Skinny spicy margarita for the win!!! Service was also very nice and timely read more

I'm housesitting in Danville and decided to spend some time roaming around this beautiful area. While doing so I became really hungry but have no idea where to go. I looked on Yelp and I decided to have lunch here today. I'm pleased with my choice, the food was really good and the service was great. I ordered the combination plate with two items which were the cheese enchilada and a crispy ground beef taco. The food came out really fresh tasty and appealing to the eye. What more can you ask for. All my senses were satisfied. I'm looking forward to what I end up doing next. read more

Los Panchos Mexican Restaurant - Combo - 2 Items. Crispy Ground Beef Taco and Cheese Enchilada - Mexican Near Me - Danville, California

Not for me, I ordered the dip sampler (3 Stars) The salsa and bean dip were good. The guacamole was under seasoned. Then I ordered the Carne Asada Plate (2 Stars) It came with pre cut strips of carne asada, that are ready made for burritos (cheap burritos), not very good quality. I guess if you covered the strips with all the standard burritos stuff and roll up in a tortilla, it not bad, but a carne asada plate should be a medium rare skirt steak cut into strips. The beans and rice were ok, no issues. The grilled Mexican green onion was a nice touch. I'm not sure I'll be back.. read more

If you are looking to have your party catered from this place order twice as much as you think . The owner helped me put together a menu for 50 people. She said the food that I ordered would be more than enough. The food was almost $800.00 We picked it up and only had 34 people show up . A mix of kids and adults we ran out of food so embarrassing to not have enough food for everyone. I will not order from them again. I did call and let them know . read more

The place looks good. Music is good. Average noise. Nothing spectacular about the food. I ordered chicken/asada fajita plate. Service was okay. I has to ask for nachos and salsa. They forgot to serve it to me, while i saw the other table has it, I had to ask. But everything was good. read more

Bartender Alina was sweet and super busy. Food was delicious. I live in Manteca and I frequent a local favorite El Jardin. I yelped a Michelada and decided to check Los Panchos out for dinner while I was traveling for work. To my surprise, I spotted a bar tucked in the back. Sitting there sounded way better than sweating outside in the heat or sitting alone at a table. The employees and regulars were super friendly and welcoming. One cute little older regular mentioned the waitress was a bit busy, so she went straight to the bar to grab her own drink right off the bar -- loved the honesty and humor there. I ordered, caught up on social media and emails, and finally watched a few videos I'd been meaning to get to. Chatted with a few locals. Dinner was good -- definitely worth the stop! read more

Los Panchos Mexican Restaurant - I ordered the dip sampler and crispy taco plate. One chicken and one potato both were delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Danville, California

I definitely do not recommend this restaurant. The carne asada in the fajitas was so tough that my jaw started aching after trying to eat just one taco. That has never happened to me before. Our drinks and waters were never refilled, and the music was so loud that I could barely hold a conversation with the person sitting next to me. I will not be returning or recommending this place. read more

The food is delicious and the portions are super filling. Catchy music and artistic touches make the place so comfortable and relaxing. We were served quickly by the friendly staff. A great place for any meal any day. read more

The best bean rice and cheese burrito you'll have by far, takeout or in the restaurant. The guac and bean dip both get a 10/10. If you're of age try a margarita with your meal, they are delicious and do the trick. read more

Had the three item combo ground beef taco, cheese enchilada and pork burrito... mole on the side.... It was good and reminded me of the ol' days in Pacheco.... Consistency and quality keep me coming for like 30 years.... Thanks to the ownership! read more

Came here with my son while traveling. The food and service were both great. Loved the salsa bar and various options to choose from. My son had a burrito that was the size of a newborn! It was massive and he said it was delicious. I had the shrimp tostada and it was great. I'd order it every time. Sat at a high top and got to watch some college football while enjoying our meal. Casual vibe! I'd definitely recommend and would go back if we were ever in the area again! read more

Great food and service I've been going there since it opened in Pacheco the owners are great

I became familiar with this restaurant from a restaurant crawl that my wife's sorority had months ago. It was definitely tasty, and I decided I was going to go back. It's just taken a little while. Rice. It's all about the rice. I've come to realize that when it comes to Mexican restaurants, they go the way of the rice. Los Panchos had excellent rice. It was fresh, and I did not have the dried out grains that other places have. The enchiladas and tacos were very tasty and my daughter raved about her chicken tortilla soup. Technically, she raved about mine, because she ended up eating most of it. We got there about 815pm on a Saturday night, which is about 45 minutes from close. For that reason, it wasn't very busy. I'm not sure how it would be during a more busy time. But, our waitress was very friendly, recommending different choices for my daughter. This is definitely going to be put into rotation when we want Mexican food again. read more

First time here. Food was good. Wasn't sure what to expect. We enjoyed some cocktails and brews. And the place was packed,but out server was very helpful and checked in on us often. We will be visiting this location again read more

Good food but keep an eye on the bartenders. Several times Ive come in and paid for an upgraded "Cadillac Margarita". They conveniently forget to give you the Grand Marnier float. Then when you point it out they say they didnt hear you or forgot. I worked in the restaurant industry and know they are manipulating "pour cost". read more

Beware of this place!!!!!! I went last night with my family and everything was an EXTRA CHARGE and on top of that they don't tell you. My 10 year old son's meal cost $17.99 which is insane to me for 2 tacos and they charge extra for chicken and steak and onions and cilantro. What comes with a taco then? We have been coming here for a very very long time, seems be new management or something. Our food took so long to get on top of that. I called the manager today and he says that's their service and that's how they do things there which is crazy to me that you charge for onions and cilantro on a taco when it should come with that. This will be our last time going for sure!!! Watch out and make sure you check your bills!!!!! read more

Los Panchos Mexican Restaurant - A crazy receipt - Mexican Near Me - Danville, California

DO NOT order the chicken tortilla soup unless all you want is broth. Last week, my family got a to-go order that included two bowls of chicken tortilla soup. We have always loved it in the past. This time, however, both bowls were basically broth only with a small bit of chicken at the bottom. We assumed someone had forgotten to stir the pot. When we called to let the manager know what we received, we were told that we could have two complimentary soups with our next order, which we really appreciated. Tonight, we got our two free soups to-go. Once again, both contained broth only with a fleck or two of chicken. Clearly, that is how they make their tortilla soup now. Now we know to never order it again. I recommend they change the name of the soup to chicken tortilla broth. Considering the high price of food right now, customers should at least know what they are getting. I will stick with the tacos from now on. read more

The food is ok and sometimes good. Service is usually real good. The NOISE is terrible. Please install sound dampening solution. I feel better now read more

I stumbled upon this place as I work in San Ramon a few days a week .The bartender was so friendly and very accommodating .He was very observant and always got me what I needed.Some bartenders just look at you and then never ask you if you want food or not .This place was very quaint and a cute little hideaway spot after work ! Will definitely be coming back here . read more

Los Panchos Mexican Restaurant - Happy hour Margarita . - Mexican Near Me - Danville, California

The service was really nice-they turned on the heaters for us when we asked and our server chatted to my family and I about college. The food was big portions, and the happy hour margs were a good deal. Unfortunately, our entire party got a nasty bout of food poisoning (we all ordered burritos). In between sprints to the bathroom, my father phoned the restaurant to report our ailments. Management (Celeste) stated "no one else got sick" and made it seem like it was our fault that we got sick from their food! How atrocious! They promised to call us back once speaking to the owner, and well.. it's been a week and no word. We all really enjoyed the atmosphere, and would be interested in going back-but I can't believe how they handled this situation! read more

"Friendly Service, Okay Food, Watery Salsa." We were quickly greeted by two friendly servers and soon had a bowl of chips and salsa in front of us. Unfortunately, the salsa was tasteless and watery. I later mentioned this to the server and she agreed and noted they had a problem that day with that item. Since that's the first thing customers taste, this is not a great way to start a meal. My wife and I each ordered the two item combination plate, with one enchilada and one taco. The food was pretty tasty, and accompanied by a massive quantity of Spanish rice and refried beans. We could not eat half of this meal. So unless you're a growing teenage boy, you could probably share a combination plate. Of course there are many other items without the rice and beans. I think next time I will go for a la carte. I discovered that draft beer was only $3 today, due to Happy Hour. They charge for chips, $3 per person. The dining room is a long rectangle, with mirrors on one wall. The reflection makes the dining room seem much larger than it is. So all together, an okay visit. I appreciated the friendliness of the two young servers. However, I think there are better alternatives, such as Mexxis. read more

Thanks for ruining my birthday dinner. Don't ever ever send the 16 year old hostess to tell my table to be quiet. The server or manager should have done that. We weren't even loud. You all afraid of the white people so you send the white girl over to say something? Totally out of line. You triggered my son's PTSD. We come 6-8 times a year for birthdays and many more times throughout the year. Unacceptable and it will be awhile before we come back if we ever do. Save it Ivan I don't need your passive aggressive the customer is wrong comments like the other posts you write on. read more

I have been coming here for years. Its consistently good food. Good service and very authentic food. They have the best crispy tacos. The salsa bar is always stocked and kept very clean. Its probably the best Mexican food in Danville read more

Cozy Mexican vibe Service was very attentive Food was excellent and the portions were generous! We will be regulars for sure! Thank you, Los Panchos! read more

If you want authentic Mexican food this is the place to be. it was our first time here and it did not disappoint at all. The service was quick and friendly and just gave us enough time to decide what we wanted to order. I opted for the two item entrée, chili relleno and a pork tamale. The portions are huge and it came out piping hot! The dish also included delicious rice and beans. I felt nice and festive inside and they even have outdoor dining in the front. We are fairly new to the area and this will now be our go to spot for a delicious Mexican meal. read more

this place is some of the worst mexican food I've ever had. And they are so frugal and cheap that they are the only mexican restaurant u will ever find that chooses to charge for chips and salsa. cheap. Don't go here. read more

Great portions! Have been coming to this spot for probably over 10 years at this point, & never disappoints! I never leave hungry and always take leftovers, no matter what we order! The unlimited chips & salsa are now $3 but totally still worth it! I love the spiciness of the salsa options & how everything comes out piping hot. It's always busy too! Tons of takeout orders and people braving the cold for some yummy food! read more

We had a late dinner here. Got the chips and salsa, good salsa. Others got the Carne Asada plate and a two-item combo with pork tamale and chicken enchilada. (Was said to be good) I had a chimichanga. Good crispy tortilla. Slathered with enough sour cream and guacamole, it was tasty. Will come back to try other things. read more

Los Panchos Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Danville, California

Came here yesterday for dine in yesterday after my boyfriend had been wanting me to try it for the longest time (dine in version). Got the Chile Colorado plate alongside a horchata drink and it was so good. Personally the horchata at Los Panchos was more my type since El Nido's was...strangely floral/herbal than what I'm used to. The Chile Colorado was amazing. The meat was tender and seasoned perfectly. The mole sauce was also really good alongside the rice. Wrap it all up in a flour tortilla and the refried beans and it's probably one of the best plates I've had as far as Mexican food goes. Usually my stomach isn't one for oily or super cheesy food so this one which was more meat based alongside others was definitely the right choice. Supposedly the tamale is pretty good but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet. The only strange bit was the chips/salsa. Supposedly if you get takeout, you get free chips/salsa. But dine in wise, you have to pay like another $3 or so. Most Mexican restaurants give free chips and salsa along meals so not sure what's up with this little caveat. read more

I had high hopes. This place was recommended to me by a friend plus the place always seems to be packed. The service was slow. Although there were a lot of servers walking and hustling about, it was weirdly slow. The menu only shows plates and combos. No single items. You'll have to ask if you can order just 1 taco. The portions are huge and pricey. Flavor wise, the food was bland. No spices. Needs salt. It doesn't have the flavors you'd expect from Mexican food. No reception inside the restaurant. I had 0 bars and asked the hostess for the WiFi password. She said she'd have to ask the manager. She never returned. I wanted to pay using the QR code as directed on the receipt because the service was so slow, but I couldn't. Our waitress walked by me 3 times as I held my credit card to pay. She kept saying, "I'll be right back," as she brought drinks to different tables. It's was painfully slow. I couldn't wait to get out of there. Sorry. read more

Back to our favorite Mexican restaurant in Danville. Never fails, always scrumptious. Covid casualty, FREE CHIPS and salsa. Come on guys. Bring it back. Your charging for what was once free. Not good!! read more

Favorite Mexican food restaurant in Danville! Delicious food and great drinks. We usually order take out but our dine in experiences are always great too. Come here at least once a month. Whole family enjoys. They used to give free chips and salsa or bean dip with orders over a certain amount. I miss that but understand rising costs probably made it too hard. Love the salsa bar! read more

Great burritos and great friendly service! We will be back. We noticed there were lots of regular customers coming in. Very positive sign.

Outside, Los Panchos looks rundown. It has a little front patio facing the parking lot, but really doesn't look good. However... Inside, really nice! Festive decor, loaded with people, large staff, happening bar, and a whole lot nicer and larger than I expected. While I waited for my table, I peeked into the kitchen and found 6 ladies doing the cooking! Surprising, and very cool. The menu has all the usual suspects, so I opted for the bean dip appetizer (how could I resist?), a 3-item combo, and a margarita. They feature a salsa bar, so I tried all four salsas. Batter up! 1. Margarita [$8, 4.0 stars] -- good, very icy, and very generous. 2. Bean Dip & Chips [$5.75, 2.0 stars] -- Worst I ever had. Made with enchilada sauce and topped with cheese, the first 15 dips was mostly the under-seasoned sauce. Chips were cold, and tasted many hours old. 3. 3 item combo [$19.99, 3.0 stars] -- bottom-line, zero flavor, boring. Besides, way too expensive. Crispy taco with "chunky beef" had all the makings of a great taco with a very fresh and made-to-order shell and beautiful beef, but tasted as if it had no seasoning during the cooking process; Ground beef enchilada the same; carnitas burrito said "all meat" but it was half carnitas (actually good) and half salsa fresca; beans were decent; rice was dry. Service was pleasant, but felt rushed. So, does it have potential? Maybe. Would I go back? Maybe. read more

Decided to try this place with friends and oh my goodness, it was very disappointed. I ordered the chicken fajita and the chicken tasted really hard and flavorless as if it was previously frozen for a long time. And to get guacamole and sour cream, you have to pay for it. So much up charging that it is just a turn off The horchata was just mixed powder. Ughhhh, no thank you. The beans and rice were good, chips and salsa were very tasty as well but there are so many better options around read more
