Really love Panchitos and Terra Linda is frankly lucky to have such terrific, fresh Tex mex style food right in our backyard. I think their fajitas are the best around. My wife feels the same about their smothered burritos. The family that runs it couldn't be nicer or more hard working. They did a bang up job of the number of times friends have ordered them for catering.

Family favorite for 30 years! Leo and Jeff have welcomed us with consistently great food and service. Always at the top of our list.

Amazing classic Mexican food for a decent price. amazing service!!! The manager served us and was really connecting with us. If it wasn't as far from the city I'd make a weekly visit here. Try the wet burrito!

The food is delicious and portions are amazing. Service is excellent and the owners make you feel at home and are welcoming and happy!

Delicious food, friendly service, and comfortable atmosphere. This is one of our favorite spots. The macho burrito with grilled chicken and red sauce is great.

I've wanted to visit Panchitos for a while. Restaurant has been in business for 40 plus years. The original owners retired in 1999 and sold to their employee, Leo Limeta. Leo greeted us upon our arrival for lunch. He is was so welcoming and friendly. He promptly seated us and took drink orders, returning shortly with drinks and chips and salsa. Opting for burritos (the burrito menu alone is extensive), we were told that they come in both a medium and large size. The medium is quite generous and more than I could eat. The restaurant was a bit hard to find. It sits in back and around the corner from Scotty's Market, in a small shopping center that is quite busy. Once we found the restaurant, there was plenty of parking. There's a reason Panchitos has been in business for so long. You can count on a delicious meal at a fair price, and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. We will be visiting again soon.

We live in the area and have been meaning to try Panchito's. We went there tonight and are so happy we did! The food was delicious. Warm, fresh, flavorful. The service was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

I'm amazed I've never seen this place. It's hidden in the back behind Scotty's market. Grabbed a takeout burrito. Yummy. Service was fast and friendly. Burrito delicious.

Love this place! Such nice people, great service and the food is so delicious and reasonably priced. Best fajitas I've had outside of Texas.
