My wife and I stopped by one night for the tacos al pastor. This is the only place in PV to get authentic, fresh tacos al pastor. For $1US each, they are a bargain and delicious. Get more than 1 because you can't stop eating them. Too bad they aren't open for lunch. Open at 6 pm. Jeff

On your way into town stop for lunch and grab a few tacos. They are pretty good. I also like their Red Snapper. This is not elegant but it is good.

Having walked passed this place on numerous occassions, finally stopped in for a bit. Had the tacos with polo - very good and very reasonable prices. They bring you several different salas - what out one is very hot but good! Definately a place I would recommend and return to. A mix of locals and tourists. Very busy - so... More

Locals eat here. That says a million things. The Al Pastor is the best. You can try it with different sauces. They have three sauces and lemon in a sauce plate. Grilled spring onion is a must-have, too. Servers are all friendly and speak good English. They open at 6pm everyday. After you finish dinner, don't forget to try the... More

It was our last evening of our 6 week Mexican visit and I had a real craving for taco al pastor. We had eaten them in another neighbourhood but wanted our last dinner to be in the Zona Romantica. We were not staying in that area so we were not familiar with Panchos. We just happened to pass by it... More

A slightly upscale version of excellent Mexican street food, Pancho's has justifiably become an institution in the Zona Romántica; call it "excellent 'just slightly off the street' food." One might overlook this postage stamp-sized eatery when sauntering along calle Basilio Badillo but you can't miss the frequent lines of hungry locals and turistas that cast covetous glances at the cuts...

This place is well-loved by locals and tourists. It's open later than anything else on Basilio Badillo. That's the name of the street that it's located on. They serve tacos, sodas, beer, and other standard street fare. But with a little added flair. Their tacos "de pastor" are their trademark. It's mostly always crowded, but they never make you wait...

One of our favorite places to get Tacos al Pastor!! It's a small little restaurant and always crowded but the service is fast. Love the grilled pineapple they add to the tacos along with the cilantro and limes!!!! We have been going here for years and can't tell you how many times we have been there and will continue to...
