“ Pancitas has very good mexican food. Great chile verde. Homemade corn tortillas. Menudo on weekends usually sell out early. Posole and other soups are delicious. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Family owned. Great food and nice owners. ”
“ This has to be one of my absolute favorite Mexican restaurants. Highly recommend these dishes: The chilaquiles are absolutely delicious. Must have them fresh though. The menudo on the weekend is also ridiculously good, down to the seasoning, hominy, and tripe. And their homemade tortillas, and chips are the frosting on the cake! ”
“ Excellent cuisine served hot and delicious. The food takes a while to get to the table but worth the wait. ”
“ Where do I start? Alex is amazing! Are you looking for good Mexican food that can comfort you and bring back childhood memories of a tia or abuelita cooking that you have missed, then this place is for you. We had dinner here the night before and couldn't believe how fresh and good the food was. So good, we decided to come back for lunch today. The shrimp cocktail is amazing,fresh and flavorful. The Pancita Feliz Burrito with the green sauce was so good and huge. I couldn't even get halfway through it. I wanted to but couldn't. The jamaica and horchata is great and tasty. Don't wait. Hurry up and go try this place for yourself and see what the hype is all about! ”
“ I was looking for a local Mexican restaurant and came across this hidden gem. The reviews were great regarding the food quality. I came in with high expectations and I was not disappointed. I ate there. I was greeted and seated immediately. The waiter brought fresh still warm tortilla chips accompanied with salsa to enjoy while I looked at the menu(Delicious).I had an Idea of what I wanted but could not find it on the menu. I asked the waiter and she knew immediately what I was talking about. It was 1 taco 1 sope and 1 gordita. The food was well seasoned. The tortilla, sope base and gordita were hand made(if you know.you know) they did not skimp on the meat as you can tell on the picture. The waiter brought me two salsas to enjoy with my meal. Both salsas were flavorful with the green one being the spiciest. Definitely recommend you come in. I had an horchata that I know was not a powder mix. I had a great experience and will definitely be back to try the breakfast and caldos. ”
“ Great food and great service really recommend this place and the employees are super friendly ”
“ Food was wonderful! The nopales was so good! The beans and rice were amazing! They have homemade tortillas that made the meal perfect. The green salsa was very good. You definitely need to come try this place out! My only request is that they update their grubhub menu. It was a bit confusing and I am assuming their are some mistakes that can be fixed easily. When ordering on grubhub I had to choose either rice or beans or potatoes with the nopales. I am pretty sure it comes with rice and beans as shown in the picture but would only let me choose one. I had to choose beans and order rice a la carte. Also, I ordered a quesadilla that was delicious but it was almost 8 dollars for just cheese and tortilla. There is no where on the grub hub menu to order tortillas or salsa but I requested it and they gave it to me so I was happy! Next time I will go inside the restaurant to order. I want to try the menudo! Yum. ”
