Incredible!!! The food is fresh and reasonably priced. Clean inside and outside. Excellent customer service. This was the experience we were needing to get us back on the San Diego bandwagon. We got a few breakfast burritos, empanadas, donuts, Jamaica/Lemonade - 10s across the board.

Tacos are pretty good. Small but flavorful. Had better. Had worse but I don’t rate places on if everything hits the mark on my tastes since we all have different tastes. I rate restaurants on what they can control. Sauces are good. Outdoor patio is nice.

I am a SD native and grew up eating burritos bigger than I was from all the various Riga/Al/rigal-bertos family of restaurants, and loved it. This place is a tier above those places. Killer breakfast burritos, al pastor tacos, etc. The food is always super fresh and their habanero salsa is very addicting. Good luck resisting ordering a hot churro to eat in the car on your way home. The only "downside" of this place is that they close at 2pm, and the food isn't "fast" (I guess? It takes them about 10 minutes to cook a meal for our family of four). I'm surprised they have a 4.4 rating as of this writing. It looks like most of the 1 star reviews are from 4 years ago so, I don't know, maybe they got their act together now? I have been happily enjoying this place for the last 2-3 years. Enjoy!

OMG what a gem! We went to the Bakery first after reading reviews that conchas may be sold out, but SO glad we came to the Kitchen after! There were conchas ;) The woman at the register is a sweetheart with excellent service. The chilaquiles were PERFECTION! The soyrizo burrito was yummy. The concha and coffee were great too! Try it!

Best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had! The staff is super nice and the food is delicious. I love their concha’s. Their carne asada is tender and super yummy.

I’ve been coming to Panchita’s for five years and it never disappoints! Their chicken tortilla soup is my go-to, and the birria is amazing. Cozy, delicious, and always hits the spot

The staff here are so genuinely nice and friendly it’s both surprising and refreshing. We always get the vegan and breakfast burritos. Both SO delicious! Update: haven’t been here in months and forgot what I usually order and Jennifer, whom was working the drive through, was so genuinely friendly and helpful reminding me about some of their food and drink options. I’ll be back sooner than 6 months for sure bc the service is awesome
