Low key one of the better Mexican places in the city, especially with their Pozole, papusas, and Al pastor.

I wasn't really impressed with the product I received. Got tons of recs from the studio crew and decided to take a look. I saw a lot of authentic and very experimental fare that got me super excited to compare to my home of LA. Definitely loved the idea of a chipotle style build your own of the special burritos! Went with a refried beans and Chile verde California burrito with everything. While the food was actually quite good (outside of the beans which wasn't the consistency that I grew up with) the price and value for portions was not. I paid $21 for something I could've gotten back home for maybe $10-15. Burrito barely fit past my hand and was kinda thin compared to others I've had previously. Also not sure if my suspicion is true and apologies if it isn't but the Agua Fresca I got tasted too sweet and borderline pre packaged or not homemade. Overall if the prices and portion size change id definitely make a return on my next stay in the city. 6.5/10. read more

Ceviche, ceviche, ceviche, oh how I love theeeee. In my quest to find healthier alternatives to eating cows and chickens - I went into Panzon and opted to try their daily special of Ceviche on a tostada (I also noticed they had spiced rubbed tilapia resting in sweet peppers, chilies and onion; yum). To be honest, I am always skeptical when ordering Ceviche as everyone has their own take and method as to how Ceviche should be created. Out of curiosity I ordered their daily special and man-o-man was it DELICIOUS! The fish was fresh, (though I ate it so fast that I cannot tell you what kinds of fish/shrimp, etc., were used), the lime sauce was perfectly tart and the other ingredients: cilantro, red onion, jalapeno, cucumber, tomatoes were spot on. Sadly, there was no avocado; or was there - maybe I ate it too fast to notice. As I say to my dogs, "it was Yummy, Delicious, and oh so Nutritious." I will definitely order this special again. On my next venture to Panzon I will try their spiced rubbed fish - it looked just as delicious and I think it is offered regularly on their menu -- the Ceviche is not. Keep up the good work at Panzon. It keeps your customer's smiling. read more

Panzon - Yummy Delicious Ceviche; I ate it so fast that I didn't take the time to notice what kind of fish was used - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Good taste, but weird amount of onions and peppers (at least in Shrimp burrito). Off putting amount of onions and peppers.

Get the shrimp burrito every time I'm in the city for Lunch. They can be a bit pricey but employees are nice and portions are generous, not to mention they will cook up the shrimp fresh just for your meal! read more

3.5 stars. The service is quick. I got the caramba plate that came with chicken beef and prawns. The ordering process was confusing and I didn't know where my food was. The taste however was good. The meats were well seasoned and the tortillas were steaming hot. The portion was reasonable but not big. Overall it's a good place for a quick lunch. read more

This burrito is straight fire. Have tried the Super Carnitas, California with Carne Asada, and Breakfast Burrito with all the fixings. 12/10 would again. read more

BEST BREAKFAST BURRITOS EVER. Seriously, you don't even want to know how many of their breakfast burritos I have eaten in the past month. You cannot beat the value, quality, flavor, proportions are perfect. You can a very filling burrito for under $7 here and be full well into the late afternoon. I order the bacon burrito with potato and cheese (extra $$) and get it spicy. But their spicy really is spicy, so I do not recommend for those who are not used to hotter foods. Total comes to $6.27 with tax -- wowwwww! I also want to reiterate on the proportions because it is important! Do you know how many times I have ordered breakfast burritos and there was just a ton of plain egg in the front, with a small spattering of bacon and maybe salsa here and there that made everything super soggy on the inside? You don't get that crap at Panzon. They would never treat you that way. They got your back. It's all made fresh, right in front of you and the wait in the AM is never bad. They also have a fantastic salsa bar, which is always extra points in my book. I've been to several breakfast burrito spots downtown and none of them come close. Front Door Cafe? Nope. Uno Dos? Nahhhh. Good Eats? Alright but not as good. Il Canto? Noooo. List goes on and on. Do yourself a favor and go to Panzon. Please. It's life changing. read more

Overpriced boring food, with a side of who cares service. So, so many better places in the city. Uno Dos is right down the street and smokes this place. read more

Upside: salsa bar Downside: microwaved nachos I will include a photo of my $11 nacho plate and let you make your own judgement. If a half full plate of microwaved nachos do it for you, then I recommend. If you prefer decent food, then Uno Dos Tacos is around the corner and much much better. read more

Tasty food! Every thing is made fresh here. They get it out pretty quick. Plenty of choices and sauces. The chorizo burrito is a spicy treat! read more

Not a bad spot. This place is brand new and has taken over where Rico-Mex was. The place I will say is a thousand times cleaner now. There's actually light in the restaurant and there isn't anymore of the unnecessary clutter. The staff was very friendly when I came by here and I really appreciated the prices not being too bad here either! I ordered two tacos with chicken and boy they hooked it up! It had a lot of meat in it and tasted very good. I washed it down with a horchata that was very refreshing as well. The place is clean and the food isn't bad especially for the price (out the door it was about $8 bucks). I will definitely come back here to try their breakfast burritos and other lunch items soon. read more

Sitting here with a full belly writing a review is a great feeling! Was in the mood for a burrito and Yelp identified this as a "new" location so I had to try it. I'll say, it was tasty but could use a few improvements, at least in the Burrito department. The burrito rolling was loose, would have preferred it to be a tight roll - not sure if that was the guy making it or the style they prefer. I find burritos easier to eat when they're rolled tight. Flavors - had barbacoa meat and it was tender and tasty. There was one very large hunk in the middle which took me 3 or 4 bites to get through but the quantity was good overall. I asked for spicy / hot sauce and it didn't meet that mark at all. However, when I added some salsa from the side bar, that kicked up the heat. Overall, for $11.50 out the door, it was a good lunch and worthy of a repeat visit. read more

Best breakfast burritos in the area! Super cheap as well. Get the panzon breakfast burrito with chorizo, potatoes, and mild + spicy salsa!

Tldr - much better Mexican in the city This is basically a slightly more traditional Chipotle. The meat is a bit more traditional as well as the entres. However, burritos are a bit soggy and lack great flavor. Had a strong crowd during lunch. Salsa bar was also severely lacking! Didn't really enjoy any of the salsas read more

Best mex during the business lunch rush. They also make a rock solid breakfast burrito and prices are super reasonable. A grade on the salsa test too :) read more

The best Agua Frescas in the financial district! Not many places have these drinks. It goes so much better with Mexican food too I am definitely coming back. read more

Great food! I really loved the Super Quesadilla with chicken! The staff was friendly and there's plenty of indoor seating.

I use to love coming here but honestly I feel like the quality and effort put in to making the food has plummeted. Over priced and very small portioned compared to how much they are charging. I tried to get just the small side of guacamole and they tried to charge $5.50, I've never left a place faster. Better off spending time making food at home and save you're money!! read more

This Mexican spot is like a hole-in-the-wall! I would have never found this spot walking down the streets of FiDi, but because my colleague shared with me, I was able to try this spot out! This place is located in a small alley-way and has amazing food. Service is fast, food is delicious, and there's a variety of options. They have burritos, tacos, bowls, and much more. They have first come, first serve seating inside wirh a salsa bar for your anything you order. As soon as you finish the meal, you are to place your dirty dishes in their trays. I got the chance to try their beef tacos and horchata - which were solid and inexpensive for FiDi. Will be back! read more

Had lunch here today, and thought the food was pretty good. Pros: Authentic tasting food, clean kitchen and seating areas, easy to read menus, good prices, lots of choices of foods and dishes, friendly service, takes all forms of payment, great location in the heart of FiDi. Cons: Small portions - I had the super vegetarian bowl, and was surprised at how small the helping was. Very little beans, rice. And you have to choose between tofu and veggies. If you want both, that is extra. Huh? Suggestion to management: Be generous to your patrons with food portions. I am certain that will translate to these very same patrons coming back more frequently. You have a nice place, but just a few small steps away from making it fantastic, and every patron's go-to Mexican lunch place during weekdays! read more

3.5 Stars Caramba Platter was a great way to try a little bit of everything Proteins were prepared well and seasoned well the one draw back was the rice, it was far too salty and really took away from the plate The salsa bar is good and really liked the depth of flavors and heat but the set up is weird with the cups for the sauce near the register and none near the salsa bar Seating is tight and not the best for large parties Overall Thoughts I would stop by again to see what else they have to offer, I hear good things about their breakfast fare read more

The Panzon breakfast burrito with bacon and papas is the best breakfast burrito in the area. Less than $7!

We tried Panzón back in October and the food was so good! I got the pupusas with rice and beans and it was amazing, and the guacamole made everything better it was so delicious! :) read more

Me and my buddies where backpacking through San Fran hungry as hell we found it and let me tell you it was great

Stopped by for a quick lunch but ended up being very impressed. I had the Panzon burrito which was delicious and full of fresh ingredients. It was pretty big: I was only able to finish about half even though I was super hungry! Even though the burrito was great, though, the highlight was the horchata. Absolutely delicious, not too sweet, with a great cinnamon flavor; probably the best I've had in the bay area. Service was also extremely friendly and sweet. Would definitely recommend! btw, even though they don't have many tables set up, but there are plenty of places to sit down and eat outside around this area! read more

Yummy tacos & salsas! My only complaint is that the carne asada on my tacos was a little dry. I had to put a lot of lime and salsa on top but it was still pretty good. P.S. on Tuesdays they have 3 tacos for $6! What a steal for SF! read more

Delicious Food & Excellent Customer Service! Love going here, consistent quality EVERY time. read more

Panzon - Steak Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

First time in San Francisco , I had the asada burrito with everything and it was really great along with their green and red salsas.

My second time trying Mexican food in the financial district. I was pretty skeptical since I had "Uno Dos" and it was pretty much gentrified Mexican food haha. But this place?! AMAZING! The tacos held up even tho my meats were saucy. The hot sauce was just soooo HOT my mouth was burning but a great burn. Maritza is super nice and has great hospitality. I will be coming back!!!!!!!

Fire. The chilaquiles rojos with chorizo are amazing. Cool vibe and not expecting this to be so delicious. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Will be back for sure read more

I ordered a Super Carne Asada Burrito. Gray-cooked, minced meat sits in a stainless container awaiting a scoop from a spoon. One scoop rice; once scoop beans; one scoop meat; crumbled shredded cheese; salsa and pico; guac n crema on raw tortilla. Now had this place taken a few minutes to toast the tortilla and sizzle the meat on a hot grill, I'm sure I would have given it 4-5 stars. The taste was lackluster but seemingly healthy-ish. The cheese wasn't even warmed enough to melt. The salsa bar is decent. The green tomatillo sauce was good. Unfortunately, I can now X this off my list of rotational go-to spots... read more

This place has the Freshest food in the Bay Area and the place is very clean , the owners are always there making sure the customers are happy . The service is very fast , the portions are great in quantity and quality working in the financial district you have good choices where to go for lunch but this is the BEST , we tried almost everything in their menu and the food is AMAZING and don't forget to taste the SALSA like number one in California . We give this restaurant a 5 STAR . read more

This was previously Rico-Mex which I rarely went to. Now? Oh man, I come here like 2-3x a week! It's conveniently located by my work and I come here more often than I'd like to admit. The workers here are all very nice and patient when looking over the menu. The food is quite tasty and their pastor is very good. I've had their tacos, burritos, and even super nacho fries (delicious). Consistency is important and they hit that nail on the head. Anyone looking for a quick bite to eat, look no further as Panzon has arrived! Make sure to ask for their Panzon sauce, it's delicious! read more

I just started a new gig at Market and 2nd a couple of months back so I've been exploring the nearby restaurants in search of a solid breakfast burrito. Personally, my favorite can still be found @ Front Door Cafe. I used to get breakfast burritos there about 5-6 years ago when I was working @ 333 Market and their breakfast burrito today is still just as tasty as it was back then. Panzon finally brings to the table a very respectable contender. I tried their Chorizo Breakfast Burrito and added potatoes & cheese. When asked, I opted for the spicy salsa and, after about 5 minutes wait, I walked out with a tasty hunk of deliciousness. The spiciness definitely gave the burrito a kick so be forewarned if you have sensitive tastebuds. While the burrito wasn't as gooey cheesy as I personally like it, the flavors were rich and I felt completely satisfied after finishing my breakfast. These guys are leagues above Caramba and Uno, Dos Tacos down the street! Respect. read more

Thank GOD this place exists. So happy to find delicious food for reasonable prices in FiDi. Great assortment of menu items, staff is nice and friendly. restaurant is clean and cute. You'll find me here a lot! cant beat 2 huge tacos for $6 read more

Was working on a building in this ally two years ago and found this spot. Now if I'm within about 5 blocks I'll go here. I've eaten here everyday for months at a time and no complaints. I'm sure everyone's heard to follow the construction works for good food, well then go get lunch here. read more

I had high hopes for this joint. The staff was very friendly, and the interior was clean and hospitable, in a clinical sort of way. I got the panzon burrito, which I was excited to try, especially since the beans were described as being flavor with pork rind, bacon, and lard. The burrito was a normal, decent size for the price. There was a TON of pork in it! And it would have been a 5-star rating... but the pork was inedibly salty. I mean, unbearably, I can't eat this otherwise delicious burrito salty. 3 stars for the positives; I was tempted to give 2 but the staff were super friendly. read more
