My family put in orders for each of us and our two friends on a Sunday in March. Here's our experience. 1) Experience: We stopped by around 12:30pm and the food took 25 minutes to be prepared, which means it's fresh! We didn't mind waiting. Staff were very friendly! They accept credit cards. 2) Food: The menu is pretty big and have tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more. Everyone liked their food, especially the chicken quesadilla. My beef burrito was huge and flavorful, but I personally found the beef tough. Overall, it was a good experience!

We were sat right away and I was surprised at how big the restaurant is (way bigger than it looks from the outside!). I started with a hibiscus margarita, which was delicious. Then we ordered a few things to split, including: guac and tostadas, charred cabbage, gorditas with chorizo, aguachile negro, and the beef short rib platter. The charred cabbage was the biggest sleeper hit. It was so flavorful and unlike anything I've ever had before. Everything else was delicious, although the aguachile was probably my least favorite of what we tried. We finished with the rose water tres leches and the dulce de leche crepes. The tres leches were pretty good but the crepes were amazing. I don't usually love dulce de leche, but it was definitely a standout.

If you are planning to visit during popular dining hours, it might be worth it to make a reservation. We arrived during a weekend around 5:30 pm, and the place was somewhat empty. However, by 6-6:15 pm, the place was PACKED. I was a very surprised (in a good way) that the menu was a bit smaller compared to other Mexican/Tex-Mex restaurants in the area. I necessarily do not think the smaller menu is a bad thing because, with a smaller menu, a restaurant can focus on preparing everything well (i.e., it's easier to do a good job with 20-item menu versus a 50+-item menu). For my dining pleasure, I went with the enchiladas suizas with a few margaritas. Overall, I thought my plate was very delicious; however, other diners at my table and I noticed that the portion sizes were a bit small for the price. Perhaps, the restaurant uses higher quality ingredients for its dishes. Although the margarita sizes might appear to be small, they definitely are not "small" in power/punch, so the $13-$18 price range is appropriate. My favorite margarita of the night definitely was the El Jardinero, which was a wonderful mix of carrot, cilantro, peach, lime and a semi-spicy pepper of sorts. Collectively, we all thought the service was exceptional because our waitress constantly visited the table. Personally, I thought it was a bit overkill, but that's a very, very minor complaint based on my very, very personal preference.

Every component is perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. I did really want to try their breakfast burrito and was sad (& surprised) they aren't open for breakfast on Mondays, because online it says they are. Anyways, we got there right when they opened for dinner and others clearly had the same idea. You order inside at the counter, sit and they bring you your food. Our food did take awhile to come out though, and we were giving the tables around us side eye for getting their food before us. We devoured our chips and salsa in the meantime. All 3 salsas are amazing and worth getting! They went great on the burrito too. Matcha horchata and Arnold Palmer were refreshing, and I appreciate the more inventive drinks than your standard taqueria. And now onto the main event... THE California burrito. Man, it made me happy to be alive. We sat on the patio and it was lovely, and shaded by the umbrellas.

I had long anticipated the day I'd finally try a San Pancho breakfast burrito. As someone who used…read moreto live in SoCal and eat at least two breakfast burritos a week, my expectations were high. I stopped in on a Thursday morning. There was parking right up the street from the restaurant. I was shocked how small the restaurant was compared to photos I'd seen online. Regardless the space and Takoma Park area is so quaint and cute I was immediately greeted when I walked in and the team was overall very friendly. I loved the decor of the space. A subtle pink interior with San Pancho branded flags hanging from the ceiling. It was making me want to purchase merch while I was there. I ordered their breakfast burrito with barbacoa since the original doesn't come with meat. It came out to pretty much 20 bucks. That price is steeeeep in my books! The burrito was done pretty quickly and came with salsa. When I got home I couldn't wait to dive in and I must say the burrito was good for the DMV but didn't quite hit the mark overall for me. It felt very mushy in texture overall. The salsa lacked spice. And I do wish there were potatoes inside. Not sure I'll be back anytime soon for another high priced breakfast burrito but will still give recommend because I feel like a lot of it is my personal preference. Wishing San Pancho all of the success and can't wait to try other items on their menu

For food, the smashburger is outstanding. Definitely a cut above the average. You can choose to get it as a single or double, and the fries were salty and tasty. Onion rings are excellent, too. The cocktails might be even better, which was a pleasant surprise considering these are the people behind Midlands and Ivy & Coney, two DC icons to be sure, but not exactly known as cocktail hotspots. These are good as any cocktail bar in the city. The Sicilian Kiss is a lemony/strawberry-y take on a negroni that hit. I love negronis, and I loved this. The bad bunny is also a delight. A nod to the Puerto Rican legend and our favorite furry friends, it has PR rum and carrot liqueur, and chartreuse! What a mix. Bonus points for incredibly kind and helpful staff, good prices, and the fact they use a QR code for ordering/closing tabs. Makes life so much easier for everyone. I will be back!

I would describe them as a combination of classic and elevated Latin food. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual, but the presentation of many of the dishes takes it to another level. They also have a wide selection of beer and wine. I have had tacos, octopus, breakfast tacos, and tamales. Everything was flavorful and quite tasty. I will admit service was a little slow the last time I went, but given the weather and the fact that we weren't in a rush it wasn't a big deal. If you haven't been yet, you should go. The colorful presentation reminds me of Palette 22, and rumor has it they are expanding to the Ethiopian restaurant that closed next door. I hope that's true!

Presentation and bread could be better. We left curious about their regular menu so we may give it a try some other time. Their staff were nice but not very knowledgeable about their menu items. They didn't really know how to answer my question about their vegan tres leches and told me it was not actually vegan after indicating it had condensed milk and heavy cream.
