Pancho’s Mexican Restaurant

I used to love this place. Close by and good prices. However, I had not been there in a while. Finally went and I was not impressed. My son loves tacos but he didnt even want to finish his. I tasted it and the beef seemed to be bad quality-​too minced and not flavored right. Mostly salty. The cheese dip was so runny it wasn’t even funny. I couldn’t get it to stay on my chip. This doesn’t mean I won’t go again. I think they were all Into a game on TV. Mostly men work there. Maybe it was just that day. Use Adobo & some garlic powder (lol) on your meat and dont overdo it. Hasta la proxima. :)

Always friendly service and delicious food.

Used to eat here often, just don’t find myself craving Mexican food as much lately. That being said, Pancho’s is great. They have a vegetarian chimichanga that is great and my wife always gets the cheese dip. They’ve been a South Knoxville staple for a decade for good reason!

Rubbery, tasteless meat is what you can expect here. Don’t waste your time and money.

The chips were fresh and crispy. The salsa has a very unique flavor for a typical mexican restaurant. The soda there is the best I have had in a long time… so bubbly and perfect.
The «cheese dip» was delicious. I had beef tacos which are hard to mess up and we also had tacos al pastor. There seems to be only a few places in town to get yummy al pastor and its better than señor taco. Beans and rice were flavorless!
They have a couple of different things on the menu that are supposed to be more «authentic» or «california style». I think they are just dressed up versions of regular menu items.
If you want cheap mexican and you find yourself in the waste-​land of deep south knoxville, this is a solid choice.
The décor is atrocious (I think i was sitting next to a giant apple) and the overall vibe of the place is a little creepy but the food, service, and prices are good.

NASTY. Me and my 2 friends ate here. I ordered a quesadilla which came out looking like a turnover. It was disgusting and our waitress was awful. We waited 15 minutes for our drinks and about 45 minutes for our food, which came out at 3 different times. Now we all have food poisoning and feel sick to our stomachs. Never again. Like ever.

We ate at Pancho’s last Sunday. The food, services and prices were great. We ate outside and had a great time. We’ll definitely go back.
