Sitting a cozy distance away from Dufferin Station, Pancho's has made a colorful entrance to the neighborhood. They're located in an extremely small space and I would've easily passed them by had it not been for the large banners and the cheerful staff handing out samples outside the bakery.
Located in a space previously housed by a Chinese take out place, Pancho's manages to fit in a couple counters and deep fryers without seeming claustrophobic. They've got a smorgasboard of Mexican (and other) baked goodies on offer, with churros occupying pride of place. The churros are made on location and fried after you place the order. While my order was coming to life in the deep fryer, I had a chance to chat up the very friendly server: exceptionally cheerful for an early weekend morning!
This location offers churros in caramel, chocolate or strawberry flavors, which are pumped into the bread after it's fried.I enjoyed the fact that the churros were fresh, very doughy but not very pleased with the lathering of sugar coating. The excess sugar walloped me over the head and preoccupied my taste buds for a while after.
I am looking forward to trying out their concha bread, and other goodies even though they looked a bit sad and forlorn in the display. Good luck to Pancho's!
