We were visiting the area and stopped here for lunch. Recommend by a local construction worker who eats lunch here everyday. We were with our service dog and he was welcomed too. The lunch specials are very reasonably priced and a good sized serving. I had number 3!: a taco, enchilada and rice and beans. She had a number 4 burrito and taco. This is a must try for lunch. read more

The food and atmosphere are 5 stars! I have been here several times and have had different items every time and everything has been consistently good. As far as management and service, it leaves a lot to be desired. 2 stars maybe 3 stars. My friend and I wanted to have the lunch special. I had driven by the other day and saw a sign outside advertising a lunch special. It was very hard to read, so I called and an English speaking man gave me bad information. He said the lunch special was Monday - Friday. It's not. It is Mon - Thurs. We came on a Friday. We asked the waiter and he said no they don't have a lunch special because Cinco de Mayo is next Tuesday. Well, that didn't make any sense. We both wanted a regular sized margarita to have with our lunch and everything on the menu was $7.99 for this size. Then we saw "The Skinny Margarita". It peeked our interest. So we asked several questions about it. The waiter said very quickly, so you both would like a jumbo skinny Margarita!?! My friend started to say yes, but I caught it and said NO. We both will have a regular size skinny margarita on the rocks with salt. We felt like we had been had by this. The waiter was very smooth and slick. When we got our bill we discovered our regular sized Skinny Margarita cost $14.99. We'd been had!!! It will be a very long time before we ever step foot in Los Panchos again. Very disappointing to be taken advantage of so intentionally. read more

Los Panchos is my go to locally for a good Mexican Dish. We order Arroz Con Pollo or Arroz Con Camerones a lot, it is delicious. But I have to say, I've never had a bad thing from there. They do offer indoor/outdoor seating and plenty of parking. The service is always nice and friendly within a casual atmosphere. read more

This place is cute. Life is about the photo opps. The food is decent. The menu is extensive. The specials are reasonable. Many plates are under $10. The burrito was delicious. Hubby enjoyed the fajita. It was a bummer not seeing the plate sizzle. Not all servers add that feature. My friend liked the chimichanga. There are two salsas served with the chips. Chips are just a vessel for salsa. Yum. The restaurant was spotless. The booths are comfy. The place was short staffed. Our server was quietly frazzled. I felt bad for him. Be alert when arriving/leaving. Not all drivers are cautious. Worth a visit. read more

Everything is good but the chilaquiles are some of the best I've ever had. Great family run restaurant with super friendly staff. Genuine neighborhood joint and worth traveling for. read more

Saturday night, 01/17/26, dinner was a wash. We ordered the Texana Fajitas and while the presentation was so colorful and chock full of shrimp, beef, and chicken, it lacked flavor. We haven't had this experience before...seemed like a fluke, but it's made it clear to us that we will need to pick something else next time. Service was great and we will give it a whirl again and see what happens. read more

As a white man I feel as tho there was no effort into the food and the waiter didn't even write down our groups order so he had to come back several times and still got the orders wrong, food was Luke warm, and had little to no seasoning. Do Not Recommend. read more

This was my 2nd time here and it's hands down a great spot. Value, quality food and great service both times in a casual but fun atmosphere. Huge menu offers anything anyone could want. The portions are also huge! I got the fiesta lime chicken. The chicken was flavorful and juicy, definitely a favorite and will get it again. The chips are homemade, light and crispy! Highly recommend this spot - lots of parking, great for groups and kid friendly. read more

This restaurant was outstanding.w as it the delicious food or the fresh berries in my margherita. The friendly wait staff was ever so helpful and the food was dynamite. Fresh flowers in the mens room was extra. Go and enjoy. Cleanest restaurant in the area award for sure. read more

Overall it's an ok Mexican place if you're into Tex mex - I wouldn't expect lile authentic style food but the food is decent. The first time I went I got the choriwaiian which is like a Hawaiian take on chori pollo I guess. So it was chicken breasts with chorizo shrimp and pineapple with rice and guacamole salad. The chicken was really well done the shrimp was a little bland but overall it's good. The portion was large. The second time I went I got some kind of chicken dish with ham and pineapple and it was similar to what I had the first time and was also good. The meat was a little rubbery this time. My boyfriend got the burrito Rico and the beef had a great seasoning on it. I will say the service is below average rheyre either rude or slow or both. Very inattentive we ran out of drinks both times and food took awhile to come out. Overall most menu items are covered in cheese so it's hard to find something as someone who is lactose intolerant. I saw a table next to me send back their food for incorrect prep both times I came in, so I would not recommend trying to alter what your dish is they will likely ignore the note or miss it. The one thing that was really bad was the beans. Literally the worst refried beans I've had in my entire life. Big no. Overall I think the food is just ok everything considered. I probably wouldn't be back a third time but it's a really popular spot in waynesboro so if you're looking for a big margarita a giant plate of cheesy meaty Mexican this is your spot. read more

My wife and I always visit when we travel to Waynesboro. The food is meticulously prepared and fresh. The fajitas for two is incredible (and huge). Manager and wait staff are friendly and quick. The queso is large and of perfect thickness. The decor resembles a Mexican hacienda. What more is there to say. Our favorite Mexican restaurant in Virginia! read more

At first glance, it seems like a hokey Mexican place, but they really are loaded with authentic Mexican decor, it's a very unique feeling. I had the fajita taco salad, awesome as usual. The service was fast, and the food was excellent. I ate here before taking the Blue ridge parkway, a very scenic trip. read more

If i only could give no stars!! This is NOT a true mexican food restaurant. Being from Texas visiting here, completely disappointed. Didn't even know what chili con carne was only offer some kind cheese sauce, red sauce, green sauce for enchiladas. Took forever to even get drinks when first got there. Ordered oysters which are supposed to be cold, brought them to us hot as if just been sitting out room temperature forever which can KILL someone by poisoning them. Wouldn't touch them sent back. After that didn't even trust to order food so we asked for ticket. 3 freaking margaritas cost $70?????? How in the hell?? Will not recommend to anyone if anything stay clear! Save yourself the expense & trip to hospital!! read more

Exactly what you're looking for in a Mexican restaurant. Good service, food and atmosphere. Average prices.

The place is nice and clean. The chips, salsa, and white sauce were delicious. The chicken fajitas were awful. They have no seasoning and were orange from some seasoning that had no flavor. For the price, I ate them. The taco meat was bland and the side of rice was the smallest ala carte serving I've seen. I doubt we would go back. read more

Unfortunately I only put one star because I had to in order to write a review. I do not like writing bad reviews, but this place earned it! The over cooked taquitos would have been easy to overlook - it wasn't that bad. The main thing is to WATCH YOUR CHECK!!!! I got slipped the wrong check. Mistakes happen - I get it, but not this time. I was given a $30 check for one person, and when I gave him the credit card he came back with a $21 check to sign. My taquitos were $9 and I had a beer (pretty expensive)! When I looked at the itemized check, it was for two plates and two beverages. This is not ok. The server completely ignored me when he brought me the still to high bill. Lost out on that one... read more

Came here for the first time with my fiancé, and the inside is decorated nicely. We got seated right away, wasn't too crowd since we had a big snow storm yesterday. Chips and salsa were served right when we got seated. The chips were okay, could use a little more salt though. I did the "Make your own combo" and did 3 hard shell tacos with beef with rice and beans. I asked for double rice instead of beans but I still received the beans which is fine, I ate them. I wasn't able to eat the 3rd taco though because their beef was too salty for me, and I love salt. My fiancé got the fiesta lime chicken which he said was fine. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, little bit of a language barrier. read more

I'm pretty much guaranteed to love any place with a guac cart. Los Panchos is no exception. I've never had anything less than the best guacamole here. Fresh, chunky, spicy, and prepared to your liking right in front of you. Fiesta lime chicken is my go-to entree. I'm afraid I'm missing out on other amazing options but I just can't pass it up. The flavor profile just absolutely does it for me and it's always a beautiful piece of chicken. Bonus points for the free tequila shot they gave me on my birthday! 100/5 stars all in all. read more

Clean and pleasant atmosphere. Food was delicious and service was great. Definitely recommend the birria.

Was recommended by a family friend, Should have know not to expect much considering who made the referral. Part of a small 5 unit chain. My background was as a professionally trained chief at CIA "Culinary Institute of America" I found the food poorly season. Taco Bell would have been better. I had the lunch special number 4 which had 1 beef burrito and 1 enchilada. The beef was little pellets, that probably came out of a bag with no taste. The enchilada was no better. My wife had grill fajitas which I tasted which also lack seasoning. The service was very good. Not thing we will be back. There is a Chinese restaurant next to the Kroger downtown that we normally go to when we are in town. We normally order off the menu and not the buffet. Find the Chinese food to be the best in central Virginia. read more

I was on Travel and staying local and wanted Mexican. The atmosphere was great. I felt that the decore was very well done, clean and festive. The menu was a easy URL barcode scan. The Menu is huge and there is something for everyone's tastes. I had the Barrito Del Mar which was delishious. I had grilled Shrimp, Scallops and Crab. It came with Guacamole on Lettuce and refried beans. read more

First time eating here, and definitely will be coming back. Had the El Grande burrito, which was huge and packed with flavor of all the meats. Shrimp tacos and chili con queso were also a hit for the table. Great spot, cold Dos Equis Amber! read more

The food is AMAZING! the price you pay is so low for the amount of food they give you! Call me an ADDICT because I'm hooked on the Burrito DeL Mar! They got us seated almost immediately on a Friday evening, and the two girls who served us kept up well with our drinks and checked on us frequently to make sure everything was all good! Love the artwork on the walls and the great music playing. Everything was clean and our food was hot when given to us at the table. I have new favorite restaurant in town! read more

Accidentally run into Mexican food crave to discover this gem. Large portion in every dishes, so it's best to split w your companion.

The service was wonderful. No air conditioning in the restaurant. It was hot and muggy. The food we order the Brazza soft tacos was a big dish but the corn tortillas smelled funny. Maybe because I had my gallbladder taken out and I have a difficult time with corn oil. But the beans were not what I get in any restaurant I've been to. The rice was under cooked. Some items were under cooked.the carnitas dinner was smothered with onions a a red sauce. We will not return. The need a new cook/chef. The service was excellent but the food I would feed to my gato. read more

Somewhat bland Mexican food. The most striking feature of Los Panchos is a mural in the back of the restaurant depicting several famous actors. It is quite a spectacle and a surprising find in western Virginia, so I would almost recommend Los Panchos for the mural alone. The food is less than stellar however. The guacamole was some of the most bland guacamole that I have ever tried. I ordered the enchiladas ricas for my entree. It was a chore to choke them down. The enchiladas had three different flavors, but each was equally bland. The food I enjoyed most in my experience was the white, semi-sweet dipping sauce for the tortilla chips of which there was an ample amount. It's possible I ordered one of the weaker menu items that Los Panchos offers, but I cannot recommend them in any case. read more

We have eaten here for dinner twice in the last two weeks. We loved it! The food was superior both evenings! The first night I had the Salmon Salad marked as a new menu item. It was filling and delicious. My husband had the guacamole and tomato salad which he enjoyed very much along with some of my dinner.. This week I had the Salmon salad again and he had a quesadilla rellena. Again, he said it was delicious! The service was very good with very attentive servers. I really enjoyed the white dipping sauce that is provided to everyone when they are seated. What is it called and what exactly is in this recipe? The decor and the ambiance were very festive and complimented by beautiful music! read more

We've been twice now and both times it was excellent. Service was great both times. No complaints from us.

We went back to this place recently and had a poor experience. They didn't come serve us for a while because we were put back in a corner and they kept missing our refills on our drinks. We ordered table side guacamole and they didn't come until we were almost finished eating. Our food was mediocre at best...I thought this place was going to continue to do well but I must say, I don't think it will. read more

Food was very salty and cold. The sauce on the chili rel Leno was refrigerator cold and the refried beans were room temperature. Wait staff was no help and difficult to understand. . As this is a newly opened place, I will give them some time to get their act together and maybe try them again late Summer. read more

Frantic, service is OK but food quality was low. Four of us all concluded,"I guess OK"

I am not sure why Los ponchos is rated 3.5 stars. This place was amazing. We came here with a big group and they did a great job with our group. I really enjoyed my meal. I got the Polli Fundido and it was amazing. If I came back here, I would definitely get that again. It was amazing. I was very pleased with the experience and will definitely eat here in the future. read more
