I was super excited to try Don Panchos based on the reviews. We've been trying to find great Mexican food in the West Valley and I was sure this was going to be our new spot, sadly I was wrong.
The pros: good salsa, good tortillas and decent taquitos.
The cons: the carne asada was way too salty (like inedible), the rice had no flavor and was either undercooked or had been sitting for way too long, when the table next to ours was being bussed, they put the dirty plates on our table, and (saving the best for last) I felt like they treated us like a couple of gringos, like we shouldn't be in their restaurant because we're white. It was the most uncomfortable I've ever been in a restaurant in my life.
The quest for great Mexican food in the West Valley continues. As for Don Panchos, we won't be back.
