Total mediocrity

By Burritophile   Feb 28, 2008

It's been kind of a blah burrito period for me (even El Castillito wasn't so hot the other day), so I decided to test things by heading to the Embarcadero Pancho Villa for an early dinner tonight. The best thing about the burrito was the blackbird that flew in the door and watched me while I ate. They must have used a flavor remover on the al pastor, and for some reason the salsa was all in one small place in the middle right of my slab. Ugh. I need a really good burrito soon, or I might start to get depressed. FULL REVIEW

Leaving My ? in San Francisco #5: Taqueria Stalker-ia

By Passionate Eater   Aug 14, 2007

One thing I will miss profoundly when I leave San Francisco, is "the San Francisco taqueria." Everyone has their opinion on what they believe is the best taqueria in San Francisco. One of my close friends says she will live and die eating at only Gordo's Taqueria. On the other hand, three of my other male friends swear by El Farolito Taqueria. The beau likes La Taqueria. Personally, I am a FULL REVIEW

Taqueria Pancho Villa (Or: A Mission for A Mission Burrito)

By The Amateur Gourmet   Apr 17, 2007

After the refinement and excitement of Thomas Keller, where do you go for lunch? The modest, hardworking people of my stomach wanted a revolution-- --not every meal has to be hoighty-toighty, they said. It's time for real food, basic food,... FULL REVIEW

Lunch from Panch Villa Tacqueria

By See Us Eat   Sep 18, 2006

Usually there isn't much to eat at a Mexican place that is low carb, but we decided to give Pancho Villa a try since everyone else at the office seems to enjoy it as a catered in option. It was better than expected. Also, we ordered way too much food because usually they give you a small portion of meat and then tons of carby sides, which we don't eat. This time they subbed all the carbs with extra veggies and it turned out being a ridiculous amount of food for 2 people. FULL REVIEW

Taqueria Pancho Villa

By Burrito Eater   Jun 23, 2006

The Mission’s big-daddy megataqueria comes complete with a door-opening security person, consistently big crowds, and that one guy behind the counter going totally apeshit with the meat cleaver. The smart money says you’ve been here before. Off-peak visitors are sure to benefit from a more relaxed production approach, which generally results in a finer burrito. Be sure to check the outstanding bust of this shop’s namesake - prominent mustache and all – behind the cash register, and why not tip the busker as he passes by your table with his outstretched hat? Who knows, it could turn out to be Beck. Open late. Credit cards accepted. FULL REVIEW

Taqueria Pancho Villa

By Burrito Eater   Jun 14, 2006

Taq. Pancho Villa’s brass pulled off another shrewd move in the first days of 2006 by opening this bayfront, instant-hit burrito shop. Its comparatively humble square-footage appears more in line with its San Mateo location than its palatial flagship in the Mission, and there’s no Carlton, Your Doorman / Security Fella standing sentinel at its front entry. But your Pancho Villa familiarity arrives in the form of their unforgettable, all-you-can-scoop salsa bar, the perennial line out the door, and the clangorous meat cleaver guy they shipped over from their 16th St. outlet. Outdoor seating and breakfast available. Credit cards accepted. FULL REVIEW

Taqueria Pancho Villa

By Daily Feed   Mar 16, 2006

One of the many things that I love about burritos is that their middle word is “eat.” Some insist that the tortilla be grilled and not steamed, others believe that excellence can only be achieved with freshly grilled meat or “wet” style or that the secret lies in the equal and consistent distribution of fillings. But no matter what your bean preference or salsa leanings, you have to have tasty ingredients. FULL REVIEW
