    If I could give this place more stars I would totally do it! It's been such a struggle to find Good, close to authentic Mexican food and panchitos was my answer! I'd go there in the blink of an eye! I wish they had more restaurants though and not had to drive 30 minutes out, it's still very much worth the drive. I 1000000% recommend this place, go and you will not be disappointed! Prices are fair too.

    Solid lunch spot, especially on Wednesdays - dank tacos, friendly service, authentic vibe. Churros are excellent as well. Highly recommended.

    My favorite Mexican Mexican spot when I visit Richmond. I get the Al Pastor and Carnitas tacos with their hot sauce of course. The meat has great texture with the right mixture of soft and juicy with crispy edges. Service was great. Looking forward to going back.
