Bug drive through burritos for 5 ? What more could you ask for? We go here all the time, and I usually don't appreciate the service, but this last time, the guy at the drive thru seemed happy and was fast & nice. We stopped going for a bit a year - few months ago due to the hours changing and the sauce being pre-packaged and not good. However, they're back to full house and GOT THEIR SAUCE BACK!! yay! I love to get California, and my husband likes the mixed breakfast. I recommend both highly! I always order an extra tortilla for 99 cents. They are so good to eat, even plan, just warmed up with butter. Everytime we've gone they have Ben drive through only, and there tends to be a line of like 5 cars. Don't worry. They move fast.
The food is good, the prices are fair. The portions are large. I had the shredded beef tacos and breakfast burrito. Very good. You will wait as they cook it when you order it. They are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If you are looking for Taco Bell don't come here this is real Mexican food, very tasty and filling. I eat here every time I am in Salina. They are drive thru only that is the only drawback. You can't walk up and order.
I would have given 5 stars all across the board accept there is regularly a large line in drive through. That actually is just a tribute to how great the authentic Mexican food is here. Especially the breakfast burritos. The first thing that stuck out to me about this amazing little gem of a restaurant in Salina KS was the fact that it was the only place open 24 hours that I saw. Great, authentic, Mexican food at very reasonable prices. 10/10 would recommend anytime.
Pico, vegetarian and grilled chicken burritos are delish. Worth the wait in the drive through when you need good food at an super affordable price. We often see the same gal at the window and we just adore her! She’s like the grandma of this amazing place. Highly recommend!!
If you want a belly that is full of healthy tasty food at great prices...you found it! I was just passing through for the day and tried this place out. I wish I lived closer so I could come here more often. I don’t know which was better...the service, the food, the prices, or the portions. You definitely want to try this
Open 24hrs! Best Mexican food hands down. I LOVE The shrimp burrito (if you can handle spicy, if not order it without hot salsa and the shredded beef chimmichanga ,so good and very filling, they do not jipp you on your meal that's for certain!
Exited off I35 for a quick drive thru lunch. Pulled into fast food chain, immediately noticed all the cars in line at Panchos and how quickly the line was moving. Decided to give it a try, absolutely delicious!
We just went through the drive thru for breakfast burritos, but the drive thru employee was very friendly. Burritos were very good and not overwhelmingly big. We stayed right across from this place and could see they had customers around the clock, so we had to give it a try. Really good!
