" Pancho Pistolas has consistently served me some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever tasted! On my recent visit, I ordered the chicken burrito, which was bursting with flavor. The sizes are substantial, making them a perfect choice for those with bigger appetites. The only downside is that the service was slightly slower than usual, but this wouldn't keep me from returning. They have my loyalty for authentic Mexican food for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
