Delicious. I am a long time customer and I went vegan a few years ago and they started offering vegan options which is fantastic. No impact on the quality for our meat eating friends 🤗. I really enjoyed the soyrizo it was a little spicy which I loved but also the other two vegan options were delicious. Staff were kind and helpful and plenty of cabbage and salsa. Open late with options for everyone. Please don’t gentrify panchitas. ❤️

A friend introduced me to Panchita's, and now it's my absolute go-to! My usual order is the beans and Mexican pupusa, with a side of platanos. It's so filling and incredibly pocket-friendly, which is a huge plus. Another bonus is its convenient location near several bus stops, making it super accessible. Highly recommend checking it out!

Oh my god! This place is amazing. The food is phenomenal and one of the cheapest restaurants in san francisco with such great food. Me and my friend ordered two pupusas with rice flour, yucca fries, empanadas. The chicken pupusa which I had was very delicious and had good amount of chicken filling inside, paired with the hot sauce and coleslaw, it was heart filling. I loved how crispy the rice flour was. The yucca fries were good but we had to add some sauce and pepper for our taste buds. Empanadas were perfectly cooked and so soft and sweet inside. Our food came within 20 mins on a busy Sunday afternoon. Must visit!

There pupusas were delicious. Very cheesy and tasty. I got a mushroom and zucchini pupusa and they were delightful. They have a variety of juices and our favorite is the guayabana (soursop). ☺️

Great first time dining here! The pupusas are perfect! Not oily, which is a problem at a lot of other pupuserias! Very tasty and authentic food. Not too crowded. Wait time was not too bad. I am very glad this place was recommended to me by a friend.

My friends highly recommended this place to me, and I tried it for the first time today. It definitely met my expectations. Their combo menus are best-sellers and they are really satisfying. You can choose your own meat, which is great. The food was delicious. One of their most popular menu items is the mushroom garlic, but I didn't try it because I don't like mushrooms. Just something to keep in mind!

So GOOD! I got combo #3 vegetarian - pupuse of beans. I don’t really like trying meats out of state so I stick to veggies when I travel. And this this was soo delicious I RECOMMEND you come by. I will definitely be coming be coming back

The food was fantastic! I really loved the vibe of the interior, too. Plus, you can sometimes catch a live mariachi band playing!

First time trying pupusa's and they did not disappoint. Its a basic, self-serve place, with lines that can get long especially on weekend nights. Friday evening had us waiting for about 10 mins in line to place our order. As an indian, it is hard to not draw a parallel to a cheese-stuffed paratha, but with a twist. Glad to see that they have plentiful veg and non-veg stuffing options. I tried the mushroom-garlic pupusa, the chicken pupusa, and the pollo en salsa roja (chicken breast curry style in a thick tomato sauce). The combo plates come with slaw and cream/guac or fried plantains. There is also a dessert with fried plantains and cinnamon, which was unique. All the food was great, although a little mild for my palette (I asked them for alot of jalapenos on the side since they don't have a hot sauce). Also, its open till 2am and would make for great late-night grub food.

Nice/tasty pupusas, however long wait for one combo plate 30+ mins. It was pretty busy so we understand the wait can be long, but there was a situation where there were several tables of people who came in & placed in their food orders (for multiple plates) after us, but they got their food much before us. Also, while the pupusas were flavorful/tasty, they & the rest of the food on our plate were relatively lukewarm when we got them.

The food is delicious, I really like the garlic and mushroom papusa. I’ve been here a few times and the food is consistently good. They are always busy so prep for a line. Tonight I spilled my drink while waiting for takeout. I’d only taken a few sips and I felt really bad. I asked if they would replace it for me and they said no which I thought was really weird.

Food was yummy but we ordered pork and beef pupusas and didn’t get any meat in them. We let the staff know but they gaslight us in saying the meat was in there but there was indeed not.

Was very busy Saturday. Quality was good before, tasted like fast food, not fresh,sat to long before being served. Cold

Unfortunately I really like this place but cannot justify this type of unhygienic food preparation, just got a to go order and drove home (30min) and found a clothing tag? that had been cooked into my papusa. Actually disgusting and made me shudder.
