This taqueria beckons homage to California! Finally, a taqueria that serves it up right, delicious, and blazing quick! This isn't a date night spot (even though it should be), aesthetically speaking. But if you and your loved one wants a quick and delicious meal at an affordable price point, this is your place. Pay at the counter, get your number, and they'll bring it to you within less than 5 minutes. Except, they'll sometimes simply call your number in Spanish and only Spanish. I've made it clear that I'm not fluent in Spanish and they're trying to incorporate more English since they'll get a diverse crowd from time to time. Or, ya know, go back to just bringing my food to my number! This is bang for your buck! Dare you to compare any fast food dollar for dollar to here and tell me who fills you up more. Let alone the clear winner of quality, no preservatives, and unprocessed meats! read more

Food One of my go to places near the house. I always go for the tacos here and add their green sauce. I'm telling you - fire combo. I've tried the carne asada, pastor, and cabeza but the cabeza is my favorite right now. The food is always good. The girlfriend got nachos and they were also good. Service They are crazy efficient in order taking and preparing the food. Ambiance Super casual spot, usually pretty busy but plenty of parking. If you come during a busy time, finding a seat might be difficult but it is well worth the effort. read more

The carne asada tacos is what I like from here and the nachos. I have tried the burrito and wouldn't do it again. I love their salsa bar it has everything you will need and at as much or little as you please. They're so fast sometimes my food comes out before I finish packing my salsas. They are helpful and welcoming. No crazy decor or gimmicks just good food. read more

Small taco, small price. Low quality tortillas, tiny. Alpastor was meh. Won't return. Nice staff. Not "the" taco I seek.

If this is authentic Mexican food, I don't like it. I have been on a taco kick all month and I keep getting disappointed. This food has no flavor at all. Zero. I guess bar taco has spoiled me. Maybe bar taco isn't authentic, but their street tacos taste really good to me. Here, I ordered 2 chicken, 1 fish, 1 shrimp, rice and beans. It all tasted the same. No flavor at all, bland, tasteless. I cannot enjoy bland food. The chicken tacos were not fresh. They had cubed chicken that was hard and cold in the taco. I will say, this place was very crowded. So people do like it, but it's not a place I would recommend. Positives: my food came out literally in 2mins. Negatives: once I tasted the food, I see why it came out in 2mins. Workers seem nice. Good location in Tucker. Will not return. read more

(ONE PICTURE IS FROM BEFORE AND ONE IS RECENT) After years of going to the same taco spot I realized they started putting less chicken on tacos. I felt like I could count the pieces. The food is good. I still like how they have a salsa bar where we are able to grab. I also feel like the people who take orders should specify that they add salsa to tacos for those who don't like spicy or salsa on tacos. The service could improve because my friend was upset he ordered tacos and salsa was added without them asking if he was ok with it. Space is clean. read more

The food is amazing. Service is fast and friendly. I'm there AT LEAST once a week. You can't beat the quality and taste for the price. 4 tacos for less than $10. read more

The Basics: This is authentic and the best quality Mexican food I have tried in Atlanta. There is not much to the dining room and there is no patio during covid times. You order at the counter and sit down at an open table. This restaurant is as casual as it gets and is meant for more of a quick stop in than a long meal. However, you must try the food!! Things I like: The food here is authentic and amazing! These are the best tacos I have ever tried. We tried the chicken, pork, and steak tacos and all are great and worth trying. They have corn tortillas that taste extremely fresh. We also ordered chips and queso and the chips are thick and crunchy. Must try taco spot for sure! Things I didn't like: There is not really an environment here to sit down and have a long meal and no real service. Also, there is no outdoor seating for the covid times. We ended up taking the food out to our car and eating it there. Overall, a very down to earth and casual joint in Atlanta, but with some of the most authentic Mexican food you will try in the area! read more

Food is good. Prices are good. Can't order online. Service not great. Menu on their website is just photos swiped off Google of their price board inside the restaurant. I went to pick up tacos for my office and was shorted two. When I went back to get what we paid for, I was treated with a lot of skepticism ("Are you suuuure we didn't give you the tacos?"), was given no apology, but they gave me the missing tacos telling me that I have to check my bag before I leave the premises. I will not be encouraging anyone at my office to order from there anymore. read more

I moved further out away from Norcross many years ago and where I'm at the authentic tacos still just don't hit no matter where I go. I will drive the 20-25 mins here just to have tacos that won't disappoint me. I got pollo (chicken) and carne asada (steak/beef) tacos and we split a big plate of rice. The pollo taco - 5/5 - the chicken is perfectly seasoned and very very tasty. A lot of places mess chicken tacos up but not this place. If a restaurant can do chicken tacos right they know what they're doing! Not overly salty, not bland, just perfect. The chicken is diced into pieces and not shredded just heads up. The carne asada taco - 5/5 - the steak tastes nice and a little smoky. Juicy and tender no tough pieces like other places. Not fatty from the taco I had today not sure about other days but I hateeee fat on my meat The rice is DE-LICIOUS and not dried out. It's moist enough and fresh not sticky. I'm pretty sure it's chicken bouillon and tomatoes blended and boiled but idk why this just tastes great here The chips and salsa is authentic tortillas cut and salsa is diced tomato onion jalapeño? Cilantro, it's not a red saucy salsa The salsa bar is pretty good, there's radish, limes, 3 types of salsa, Marinated oregano vinegary chili raw onions which aren't spicy like some other places. It looks like you can eat here under $6-10 per person I'm very interested in trying the nachos and hard tacos next time I'm giving this place a solid 6/5 they really hit the mark and more. I ate before I could take pics ‍ read more

I was very impressed with San Pancho! Its a very cute, small, and clean restaurant where you order at the front. We got our take out order like 5 minutes after we ordered, so the preparation was very fast! We ordered the super nachos with steak and two steak quesadillas. Portion size for the super nachos were appropriate for two people to share. I think the nachos were my favorite, I just wish I had ordered a spicy salsa to go with it. Quesadillas were good too! They add a lot of cheese to it which made it super yummy. Overall I enjoyed my experience here and I will definitely be coming back. I think the next time I go, I will order their tacos. read more

Great hole in the wall joint that gets packed most of the times. Closest thing to California Street Tacos you will find in Tucker, Georgia. The menu is hard to understand, so I stick to the usual. At the time I went, the tacos are mostly $1.40 to $1.80 a piece depending on the meat you choose that is Chicken, Beef, Fish or Shrimp including the free toppings and salsa. The best Tacos are the Shrimp and Chicken once. The tacos are small so you can order 3-4 and be just right. The Pollo Asado and Carne Asada are the best. They don't serve complimentary Chips, which I take to mean that it's more authentic than your typical Taqueria. It would be nice if they serve some Guacamole too. If you enjoy spicy food, you have to try the yellowish green creamy salsa they have at the salsa bar. It's very flavorful with a powerful kick. I do feel like the Horchata had a little bit too much cinnamon, but it was still very good despite of it. They are pretty good for your buck and tasty. I will definitely go again and it's not too far from my work place. Staff at this location are very humble, the place is clean and service was friendly and to the point. The place is shared with other businesses in the shopping plaza, so parking is free and ample. Get your food to-go if you have a large group of don't like crowds. The line at the register, any given time can be at or out of the door. I promise you'll be back again way sooner than you think. Overall enjoyable and If you haven't tried them, I would highly recommend this place. Really laid back atmosphere and everyone seemed to be bilingual. I'm so happy I gave this place a try, it's truly what I have been looking for in an Mexican cuisine. read more

This place is so good!! We made about a 30 minute drive to try it out and when we walked up to the line out the door we knew it was a good sign. I got three tacos a la plancha (carne asada, al pastor, shrimp) and three tacos al vapor (cabeza, lengua, cachete). My boyfriend got the exact same assortment. They were all yummy but the al vapor were our favorites. Will definitely be back here! read more

The most authentic tacos I've had in the city, very comparative to street tacos in Mexico and I frequent Mexico at least 5x a year. I used to work around the area and will now drive the 45+ minutes at the very least monthly to grab 20 tacos at a time. They are quick and it's always packed. read more

After a few hours of running errands, I was in the mood for tacos. It was a dreary rainy day and tacos are a great way to end the day. I stopped at one of our favorite taco joints and grabbed a plate full of street tacos to go. Hubby always gets their Vegetarian burrito. Their prices are hard to beat and the food is phenomenal. The ladies behind the counter taking orders are swift and courteous and really keep the line moving. The self-service salsa/veggie bar is well stocked with all the accompaniments needed for perfect street tacos - lines, radishes, onions, jalapenos, and salsas. I personally love the orange salsa but the green comes in a very close second. We.typically grab our goodies to go, but the dining room is filled on most occasions so lots of people choose to stay and eat, too. Want great tacos - don't want to spend a lot - go to Taqueria San Pancho! read more

For my last review in 2020, I am gonna say a few words about Taqueria San Pancho. Much has been said by all the reviews you see before this. I will echo that these tacos are good. The establishment is no-frills , tiny and almost always jam packed. My favorite remains the Fish , Shrimp and Chorizo. There is a dazzling array of items on the menu and you should start with the Fish, Shrimp and Chorizo. They are small, and by the time you are done with these 3, you would have made up your mind. No stress. On the right, you'll see the DIY salsa and picante stand. You should sample some of these, but do us all a favor.. get the salsa and step out of the way cos I might be waiting right behind ya. After your second visit, your goal is to minimize your time in the line. You should be 100% ready to order what you want before you get to the counter. Should you falter, .. then see rule above.... get Fish, Shrimp and Chorizo....Cos I might again, be waiting right behind ya... read more

My favorite taco spot in Tucker. They have many options and food available. Admittedly I only get the tacos and I've never been disappointed. There hasn't been a meat option I didn't like, they're all good.The prices are amazing too. The line can get long but the wait is not long. They move through orders quickly. The cashiers are polite and friendly and speak both Spanish and English so there's no language barriers. read more

You are honestly getting a quality food for your bucks. read more

Taqueria San Pancho - Supreme Nachos with shrimp - Mexican Near Me - Tucker, Georgia

These are THE BEST authentic Mexican tacos that I've ever had!!!! The restaurant is located in a small shopping plaza in Tucker. It's very casual and no frills. It's ideal for grabbing a quick lunch. They offer a variety of tacos, nachos, burritos and sides. They also have lots of proteins such as chicken, shrimp, fish, chorizo, pastor, lengua etc. I usually order the shrimp and carne asada tacos. One of my favorite things about this place is that they allow you to have the option to have flour tortillas. Most authentic Mexican taquerias only offer corn tortillas. The flour tortillas are delicious and homemade. They also have hard shell tacos (taco dorados) that are super yummy. They include refried beans, cheese and lettuce. All of the tacos that I've had here have been extremely flavorful. There's also a salsa bar stocked with pickled onions, jalapeños, radishes and various salsas. They're extremely affordable too. Most tacos are under $2. There is an up charge for flour tortillas, but it's totally worth it. If you're looking for a delicious, cheap an quick meal, get here ASAP! read more

As someone else mentioned, the hard shell tacos are legit! Came here after seeing Taqueria San Pancho in a strip I visited for Thai, I came back the next day for Mexican and boy oh boy, i'm happy I did! First thing you'll notice is this place is small, and often it's jam packed, typically with mostly spanish speaking locals.....yep this place is legit! Prices here at San Pancho are almost unreal. Soft shelled tacos will set you back $1.37 each Hard shell tacos are just a little more at $1.99. I decided on getting the following: Hard shell carne asada: ($1.99) Hard shell chorizo: ($1.99) soft shell pollo asado ($1.37) soft shell Carne asada ($1.37) soft shell Chorizo ($1.37) Soft shelled tacos came with diced onion, and cilantro, while the hard shell tacos came with shredded lettuce, shredded cheese and a layer of refried beans. From bite one, the tacos were a dream. I mean the flavor here was rich, bold, and stayed with you with each bite. Seriously guys, I took a bite of the hard shell taco in the car, and that car did not crank until the two hard shells were devoured! 5 tacos for 8 bucks? It's well worth it! Located in the County Line shopping center, parking here is shared with the other shops/restaurants, and while it's not huge, it's usually enough parking to go around. Delicious food with tacos that are worth every penny and bite! read more

Wow! Glad we checked out this place while we were in the area! Thanks to all the great Yelp reviews, we had to give it a try! The restaurant is in a strip mall and is pretty small. There is indoor seating, and as it gets busy with folks waiting in line, it can get tight. The staff was helpful and assisted me with ordering (so many choices!). I decided on the tacos. 1 chicken taco and 1 shrimp taco (both on flour tortillas). Omg.....YUM!!!! The chicken was very tender and the onions were so awesome, they were in some sort of sauce. Omg, i loved it!! The shrimp taco was delicious as well. I have had authentic tacos before (at various locations) and unfortunately the chicken seems overcooked and almost crunchy - not here....its nice and tender!!! I was so happy to see that! Onto the chips and salsa....wonderful!! The salsa was so fresh and yummy. At first when i saw the chips i thought they might be overcooked (as they looked brown). Nope, just delicious!!! My husband had the nachos. He liked it but wasn't raving about it like i was! :) Will definitely be back! (On the way out i talked to a customer who said he was a first timer the day before, and was already back the very next day!). That definitely tells you something! ;) read more

Great spot for tacos. Their breakfast burrito is also killer. The great combination of good prices and awesome food is offered here. The service is very fast. People here are too busy to be extra friendly sometimes, so keep that in mind. They do not have dine in as of now. Carpe Diem with your taste buds good people. read more

This place was ranked #2 in Atlanta Magazine. Clearly someone paid for that rank. Drove all the way to this shithole hoping for an amazing and authentic Mexican experience. Taco Bell is better! What a joke. The tacos are super small and their specialty "vapors" just meant steamed. Zero flavor! Beans are made from a powdered mix. read more

Great food. Mexican street food style and plenty-of tables for dining in. Service is counter style. Order and they bring to you.

Thank you Yelpers for consistently delivering great reviews that help me decide my daily food stops, because this location right here... This location here... is AMAZING! Sorry for yelling at my readers in all caps, but you don't understand. My love for hidden gems is exhilarating. San Pancho is tucked away in an older shopping plaza that I have never taken a second glance at. However, as the days get shorter, in the winter, cooking has become slightly a hassle. So when I run across a restaurant with great reviews and a slightly better price point, why not try it. As you walk into San Pancho you immediately notice the intimacy. The tables are packed closely together and within just six steps you have made it to the cashier. There is a menu above the cash register and there are various handwritten signs, written in Spanish, that tell patrons the specials and rules. When I saw the handwritten signs written in Spanish I knew it was destiny. I knew that the food would be authentic and cared for. Another, important piece was the amount of native persons eating from establishment. It lets you know that the food is authentic. I ordered the regular burrito and the chicken fajita plate. As I waited for my food I took a stopped into the restroom. The restroom was so neat and clean I was impressed. Great job. As I walked back to the seating area I got a glimpse of the salsa bar. I have never seen a salsa bar so unique. Their were radishes, limes, sauteed onions in chilis, and various salsas. There was also little cups to place the salsa in, but if you want a little more ask the cashier for a plastic bag. The plastic bags are great for on the go dining experiences. *Entree: Chicken fajita plate The fajita plate came loaded with rice, beans, a small salad, guacamole, and the most delicious sour cream ever. There is something about Mexican sour cream that drives me insane! I ate this with a touch of the lime and radishes I got from the salsa bar and I went to town. *Entree: Chicken burrito The burrito came wrapped in a large soft tortilla. Filled with chicken, beans, rice, and veggies. This meal I actually took to work the next day and my oh my was it worth it. The burrito didn't even make it to 12:00 lunch. I looked at the time (10:45 am) and said it's 12:00 pm somewhere. This burrito was everything. Overall this restaurant deserves an A+. The women's bathroom was exceptionally clean, service was impeccable, the food was outstanding, and the salsa bar was truly unique (radish, limes, sauteed onions, and salsas). Pitfalls, the inside of the restaurant is slightly small, but with food this good who cares what the inside looks like. read more

Amazing tacos, nachos, tortas, and the best thick green sauce (spicy). I almost always get the tacos de cameron on flour tortillas and I squeeze lime over each Taco and add the thick green sauce. It gives me life. Lol. I am so happy I work 10 minutes from their Roswell location and I live 10 minutes from their Tucker location. The food literally tastes the same at both locations. I gave 4 stars because it is a very tiny spot. When they are super packed, it can take 30 minutes to get your food. So here's me TIP.. "CALL IN YOUR ORDER AHEAD OF TIME." Definitely worth the time. Very inexpensive as well. Let me know if you try the shrimp tacos exactly my way and I hope they give you a foodgasm. You're welcome! read more

Taqueria San Pancho has some of the best authentic tacos in Atlanta. Maybe the best. Thanks to Christopher and Laurie P. for turning me on to this place. We came here for a weeknight dinner. San Pancho wasn't too busy during this time, which was a good thing since this place is rather small. The restaurant is located in the same strip mall as L'Thai Organic Thai Restaurant. Inside, there are a handful of small tables, a tiny TV tuned to a Mexican channel, and a little "salsa" bar -- "salsa" in quotes because there's actually no salsa at the salsa bar. Instead, they just have some radishes and pickled jalapenos. You can request salsa at the counter. Like any authentic taqueria, San Pancho serves all sorts of Mexican fast foods including, but not limited to, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and tortas (Mexican sandwiches). They also offer a variety of national drinks, both bottled/canned and fresh. Fresh drinks include horchata (sweet rice drink), tamarindo (tamarind drink), and jamaica (purple hibiscus tea). We split a large plate of three taco meats ($12) and a chicken quesadilla, family-style. The meats were: beef cheek, beef tongue, and fish. The ingredients come out separately and you make the tacos yourself. The mini corn tortillas come wrapped in foil. They are rather small. A fragile paper tray holds finely and freshly chopped cilantro and onion. All the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Beef was savory and chopped into tiny pieces. Beef cheek had the texture of short ribs or a pot roast. Great flavor. Beef tongue was expectedly firm and chewy, flavor a bit subdued, but still very good. Fish was minced with seasonings. I can't say I preferred one protein choice over the other. They were all equally enjoyable. The chicken quesadilla was delicious too. San Pancho's quesadillas are nice and thick. Our quesadilla was both tasty and filling and the chicken was tender. Thoroughly enjoyed the radishes and pickled jalapenos from the salsa bar. The spicy radishes are good to eat between bites of the tacos and quesadilla, like a palate cleanser. I ordered a jamaica (hibiscus tea) for my drink. You can get it with or without ice. The drink is dark purple in color and has a sweet, slightly tart, and fruity flavor. Pretty good and I recommend it if you've never tried one before. Service was fast and friendly. read more
