Panchitos

I have to be honest, we go there all of the time. The service and food is always outstanding. They have been out of chorizo the last two times. Take a chance you will not be disappointed.

So friendly, so good!

I have been to over 100+ Mexican/TexMex restaurants all over the country and Panchitos Restaurant in San Rafael (Terra Linda) is top 3 BEST. Definitely BEST in Marin. Anything with the shredded chicken are my favorites and their refried beans are Fantastic! Two thumbs up, way up!

Awesome food and service! Been going here for years and have never been disappointed. Food is great and service awesome. Great spot for family's!

Hello this is my favorite restaurant and I’m 10 years old my name is Frankie. I’m doing this on my moms phone and I really really like this restaurant, it’s my favorite restaurant ever and the owner of it is so nice so amazing and I really can’t believe that I’ve been eating here since I was four years old and I’ve never once hated it!

Great neighborhood spot. Very friendly. Consistently good food. Our family has been happy customers for over 20 years

Best Mexican that I've had since moving to the Bay Area. Chile relleno was amazing, enchilada and the burrito. Chips and salsa were some of the best ever. Love this place and so pumped to have found it.

Great spot for delicious, dependable Mexican food. Staff is very nice and helpful, and the interior is nicely decorated. Large variety of food options, and the quality is always predictable.

Great food and Great service! So friendly and welcoming. Good prices. We will definitely be back!

Panchitos is a little neighborhood jewell. Great food. Incredible Sangria. If you're watching your weight have the yummy sauteed veggies instead of salad, rice and beans.

The staff are friendly, and quick to take orders and serve hot food. Great place for a crowd of people that love to talk as much as eat.

Haven’t had a Wet Veggie burrito in Green sauce before. Really quite excellent, and the service is great as well!

This is a really great place excellent food excellent service friendly environment and family oriented they have the best tacos and they have the best homemade salsa I recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Mexican Cuisine

Tried this restaurant for the first time today, and it was incredible! My burrito was absolutely delicious 😋 The service was excellent, very warm and welcoming! Such a cute spot for lunch or dinner. I asked for salsa, and was offered a variety to enjoy with my burrito! Both were excellent choices.

A wonderful family owned business with the best fajitas. Beef, chicken or a combination. I’ve been here many times and always had a wonderful experience.

amazing food, service, EVERYTHING. photos speak for themselves :) employees were super friendly and respectful

A local joint where they treated us as one of their own. The owner/server just gave us some free appetizers because he was so happy to have fresh faces. The food was amazing, and the service was even better.

Very good food and friendly service.

Very good food and friendly service.

My friend has been going here for years. I went to pick her food up one day and end up locking my keys in the car. After a few minutes of trying my hand.at getting It open unsuccessfully a very nice woman (employee maybe owner) comes out and offers to help. A minute or two more both male employees were assisting me in retrieving my keys. I was elated when they were successful in getting my door unlocked. Very kind people that work and or own this place. I placed first order with them two days later and the food is yummy as well.

Excellent fresh food, friendly service. All around great family, neighborhood restaurant.

I have been coming here for over 18 years and love eating here every time. I moved to Florida about 8 years ago, yet every time I visit the bay, I make sure to come to panchitos. The service is amazing as the owners still remember me and ask how I’m doing every time I visit them. 10/10 everything, their chips and salsa are amazing too!

Wow that was great and the food was excellent, the Great was the service and atmosphere. Thanks so much. We're from Bodega Bay and we love the energy thid place has. It all starts from the top and I don't think there was a bottom, all employees acted as if they were the owner. Now that's good service. There are lots of Mexican restaurants in the area and we're so happy to had chose this place

Friendly staff, good food, and a cozy environment. If you are just passing through or a local. Stop in and enjoy.

This family-owned restaurant has been a favorite of our family for years! They are incredibly accommodating, especially considering how often we go there with the extended family; that means anywhere from 11 - 19 people. The food is delicious! (Sometimes they have mole and it is GREAT!) The service is friendly and efficient. We love Panchitos!

On the strength of the Google reviews, my husband and I chose to have lunch at Panchitos. We're from out of town but we visit Marin County usually about 4 times per year. We are delighted to have found Panchitos because we really love good Mexican food. And now we've found our go-to spot whenever we're in the area and would like to have Mexican cuisine. The restaurant is nice decorated inside, the atmosphere festive. We were welcomed by the owner and his wife and the service was very good too. There are a lot of choices. We chose to share the chicken and steak fajitas. Someone before me mentioned the salsa served with the chips. It is delicious and tastes homemade to me! We liked everything about our meal. The fajitas were sizzling and delicious and I bet the flour tortillas are freshly made too. Yum! We will be back. Wonderful hospitality in a restaurant where the owners are there and you know your presence is welcomed and valued We will be back. Oh yes, and we think the prices are very good for the excellent food served!

I'm in town for work and see decide to try to find a good local gem and I definitely found one. Very low key, and the staff knew most the customers, which is always a good sign. Service was amazingly prompt and friendly with things refilled or brought out with perfect timing. Chips and salsa (especially the chips) were excellent. For dinner I selected the chicken fajitas. The chicken was marinated and seasoned incredibly well resulting in flavorful moist meat. Veggies were cooked just right with great corn tortillas. Staff asked how I found the place and were not only excellent servers and management, but were sincerely thankful for the business as well. Highly recommend i if you're in the area.

We love this neighborhood gem! We have to give rave reviews of the Sopa (soup with chicken, rice and avocado) and rich, flavorful Chili Colorado. The fajitas were served piping hot on an iron platter with ample sides. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Leo's warm hospitality was unmatched as he helped us celebrate our 42nd anniversary. Can't say enough good things about the years of consistently excellent lunches and dinners.

Very nice and hidden gem. The atmosphere is very relaxing, and inviting. The owner is always helping the service personnel to ensure ultimate dining experience. Prices are reasonable and portion are very generous. Definitely a quiet, romantic place that makes you fell in Mexico.

My family has been coming here for years and I gotta say it's one of my favorite places in the entirety of Marin, maybe even California in general. This restaurant is very family friendly and welcoming, the owners Leo and Jeff clearly love what they do. I've noticed they treat people like family and it's so nice with all the chain restaurants and things growing more and more impersonal. As for the food? Its fantastic, in a word. There's a little something for everyone and it's all reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. Personally? I cant reccomend the shrimp quesadilla enough! It's the ultimate comfort food. Sometimes we'll order the flan to share and descend on it like piranhas. This place is an absolute gem. Stop by if you have a moment!

I absolutely love Panchito's. At this point, I've probably had over 3/4 of the menu and everything has been delicious. My favorite part about going there is seeing the smile on Leo's face. He does such a great job at running the restaurant and making everyone feel welcome. Big recommend for Panchito's.

Julia Behler

Delicious food, great portions, and such a welcoming staff. Definitely felt like a family atmosphere here, and the food and service clearly are examples of why that is. Recommend this spot 10/10 and will absolutely be back!

Best neighborhood Mexican restaurant in town. I should know because I lived in Terra Linda for almost 12 years. My family and I loved dining there for dinner. They have good salsa and we miss it.

Wonderful family run Mexican restaurant. Reasonable price lovely service. I always go if I have to go to Near by Kaiser.

Excellent service and comfortable. I only tried the tortilla soup which was tasty and generous.

I rarely clean my plate at a restaurant, but this place I did. Fantastic Mexican food, and I wished we had this place in Dallas. I would go there on a monthly basis if we had it. Prices were good as well, and parking seem fine. Service was excellent. Drinks were good too.

Was just planning to dine in when i Heard from the Hair lady a few doors down that 2 people got sick after they ate from this restaurant. Just be careful.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately the al pastor was just bad- both in flavor and texture; it had no sweetness and was fatty and rubbery and it seemed they had compensated by cutting it extra thin, but this did not help. I did really like their salsa, and the server was very friendly and the atmosphere was nice. It’s a shame they would use such low-quality pork when otherwise it could have been a good experience.

Over priced, greasy food that made me feel deathly sick after leaving. If you want better prices I suggest Picante in San Rafael in the canal area where the food is fresh and not greasy, service is quick and you will actually leave happy and satisfied.

The best part of my experience here was the service. The staff was friendly, I was greeted and given a table quickly. The rest did not leave a passable first impression. I received chips and salsa, the chips were terrible. Thick unseasoned tortillas that seemed stale. I've never disliked chips before, I didn't even know I could. Upon receiving my combo plate, beans were good. The chili relleno was the best part. The taco does need help. It was served greasy and seemingly unseasoned.

My wife's diet Pepsi tasted of bleach or chlorine as did the replacement glass, not nice at all. I had chicken Enchiladas. About 12 hours later had to sit on the toilet a number of times when it passed very quickly through. Coincidence or not? Won't be going back.

I love that they accommodate our large group and let us all have individual checks. Great service, always!! Upate Unfortunately, I as well as one other person in our party became very ill around midnight. I had the beef taco salad

Definitely over priced 18 dollars for a regular burrito and a can coke Menu was confusing. Didn't like the food or service. There are better places than this.
