Panchos Gringos

Simply fantastic. In town for Final Four. First meal was a great one. Sergio was genuine. We"ll be back.

A unique and homey find, close to downtown SA! Visiting from Austin and needed to find a place to eat breakfast that was by our Airbnb. Very happy to have found Panchos and Gringos!Drinks are self-serviced. Paper menus are set by the front entrance for quick and easy reference. The owner, Sergio, is very passionate about his food and restaurant. He offered my husband a tour of the kitchen, and we can 100% testify that he runs a very clean and neat kitchen! Also, NO canned goods are used at all, only real ingredients.Food was AMAZING and authentic. Portions were extremely generous. We got our three young children three Kid’s Meals with Fruit Salad Bowls. It was more than enough food. Our server Carlito was very friendly and courteous.If you’re wanting to support a local business, I we recommend eating at Panchos and Gringos!

This place is the traditional Mexican food I've been searching for in San Antonio for about 7 years.From the food and staff, this place feels just like home and had that home touch cooking that makes you want to come back often.Love the different and changing menu items, and the bean tacos are to die for.

Great food and great conversation. The owner is super friendly and makes sure to take care of you. You feel like you’re at home eating here. We had the Ranchero Eggs, I like over medium, while my husband likes over easy, both were cooked perfectly. The potatoes and beans were delicious. And the salsas are all flavorful, be sure to ask which one is recommended for your taste! This will definitely be a regular spot when we visit San Antonio!

I ran in to grab a plate to go. This is a perfect neighborhood spot that should be appreciated more.It took them a minute to make my plate, and then I saw it was whipped up perfectly. Salt, people underestimate the importance of salt and the balance of seasonings. Not this place! They were spot on, and man, it was good. I don't even like zucchini, and I ate the hell out of it.This place has been here a while and it's a walk away for so many people, but I dare say it's worth a drive too!

You want San Antonio texmex go anywhere else! I was greeted by owner made felt at home right away..... This was authentic and most importantly made with correct ingredients as well as love ....... The limonade OMG ...... The food was gone before lukewarm..... Unbelievable great experience..... The cook brought out the plate.... Proud and done perfectly! I'll be back for sure

Food was fantastic, reasonably priced, and had a unique creamy quality to dishes that are typically commonplace to the area. The interior vibe was comfy and casual, and service very friendly. The All American Breakfast special also scratched a certain itch even better than I had hoped. The food looked and tasted so good, I had to dig in immediately and forgot to take my usual pictures. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to come back!

Don't pass this place by while you are driving through the neighborhood because they are making some darn good hot sauces. The salsa roja, which actually has a very orange tinge, has a nice, mild tomato flavor with a notable garlic presence. One of the people with me commented that it was similar to a spicy tomato basil soup, and that is true if you substitute cilantro for the basil (and that has given me an idea for a recipe—watch for that). The salsa verde is strong on tang, with a noticeable vinegar pucker and some good green chili flavor as well. And when you put both of these together on their chilaquiles, that's one tasty meal with a bit of a kick.And if you are looking for more heat, try the habanero salsa which I believe is a variation on their roja salsa. You can definitely taste the habanero while the heat climbs above Hot on my scale. Then they have a salsa that combines habanero, ghost chili, and scorpion chili, and that one will light your mouth on fire! It has a good taste with a bit of sweetness, and you can definitely get a peppery kick from the three different chilis, which amp it up to beyond Fiery on my scale. It never reaches the point of heat just for the sake of pain, and it was a nice addition to the chilaquiles.Ponchos & Gringos has breakfast, Mexican dishes, sandwiches, and more, and you are certain to find something quite tasty on their menu. Just be sure to ask for that salsa to kick it up to the next level.
