The Chile Relleno was legit and the added chicken was seasoned to perfection. And the cocktail they made my wife was tasty and strong. And anyone who know me, knows that I test a Mexican restaurant by how well they make a basic rice and beans side dish. This place passed with flying colors. I've never gone wrong with any Mexican place that if they put the attention and focus into rice and beans, then the entrees are pretty spectacular. Check them out!

I decided to stay in the city longer to check out this place. This restaurant is huge and the wait was 45 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. We used our waiting time to stroll through the Mercado across the way. Once the table was ready, my friend got a text. I always wanted to try menudo every Mexican restaurant I go to. But not until I saw the sign on the back cover. This restaurant is under the same owner as Pico de Gallo. Omg. I just had their menudo the day before. No thanks. I decided to order fajita chicken salad. The portion was really small. The food only filled a half of the fried salad bowl. I asked to put cheese on the side. It may had it look more but I don't eat cheese as much. I was glad that dressing was on the side. Which was too salty for me. So, if the food was the same as other chain, we could have eaten there which was closer to the hotel. But I noticed the difference was the servers. Our waitress was cuter and very polite. My friends kept teasing her. She kept good manner and responded back with a smile "uhhh no". Hahaha.

They ran out of cheesecake so they gave us tres leches as a substitute--as a huge tres leches fan, this was even better.

I also have to give a special shout-out to the Carrajillo I ordered.

It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.

I go there every couple of months when I'm near the area. The place is crisp and clean with a minimalistic aproach to decor. Raul the owner has a great personality and talks to his guests. The girls at the register are always very friendly. I usually order the Huaraches. The FUCKING best! Add an egg on top of your huaraches for that extra rich flavor. It has a warm home feeling to it. Never had a bad meal there. Been going there for years. As for the critics who say its too expensive, you must not eat out often maybe only on your birthday and holidays. Going out to restaurants has gotten expensive everywhere do to inflation and food cost. That is life. Bottom line, if I am going to chose a place to go out and eat and have a great experience, this is where i choose to spend my hard earned money! Thank you Raul. Keep up the good work! read more

The decoration of the place is pretty cool. The food was really good. I have been there several times, I have tried their breakfast tacos, some of their plates (breakfast and lunch), quesadillas, tacos al pastor, lengua tacos, barbacoa tacos and everything is good! Even the enchiladas! They have improved their tortillas, they are way better than when they just started. Also, the staff was really friendly and the prices were very affordable.

Chile de Arbol, Guacamole Verde and Pico de gallo. Sounds standard, and I'm one that wants to try them all. I didn't have to. They stopped me in my tracks. And oddly there was something different in the pico I can't pinpoint. All I know is it was so fresh and packed with flavor. Brisket taco...tasty and not expecting it chopped. Would have preferred 2 whole slices, though. The tortilla was very greasy, but otherwise soft and well-made. The filling was plentiful. Also had a bean and cheese. Not as greasy. Not as oily. Not the fake whipped beans, either. These are the real deal. A healthy amount of shredded cheddar, not American. I thought I'd start with this and maybe order an enchilada.
