Don Pancho's

I'm amazed by the deco inside with the festive music and lots of piñata related things around. It's just fun to look at while eating.

Skinny margaritas has lots of fresh lime juice. If you can't tell from the picture, let me emphasize that it's a huge glass. I can't finish it but I love it!

The shrimp dish I ordered was fresh and not greasy. I felt it's like homemade food that I can eat often without feeling guilty!

The owner Maria works so very hard to keep customers happy at this quaint and delicious Mexican restaurant. There are fun piñatas hanging from the ceiling that my two year old son loves to look at. Fresh hot chips come to our table accompanied by warmed refried beans and salsa.
My son can eat an entire shredded chicken enchilada while I love the grilled chicken taco salad. My husband loves mixing it up with different combo plates.
We all love this restaurant and my step-daughter says it's her favorite!

Our first time coming here for lunch, the service was AMAZING! Food was delicious!! I had the queso birra tacos, they were not soggy and very tasty. Our waitresses were super friendly and amazing, they checked in often!

Definitely recommend!

I finally made it in to Don Pancho's. Friends have recommended it to me & I wanted to order my favorite combo plate, chile rellenoes & cheese mole enchiladas. The restaurant is traditionally decorated and the vibe was cheerful & cozy.

The rellenoes were delicious as were the enchiladas. I might ask them not to put as much cheese on top next time but I still enjoyed it. The salsas were well seasoned meaning if you are sensitive to salt, some of the salsas might be an issue for you. I liked them, I am a chef so I don't mind salt. The chips were good and so was the salsa verde they served alongside them.

I had horchata which was standard & tasty & I ordered flan for dessert. I believe they used a custard mix which is not my favorite but it was plated beautifully with the option of whipped cream & chocolate sauce. I had mine plain & ended up taking it togo since the portions served were quite hearty.

The service was excellent & I was cheerfully greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Service was attentive and kind throughout my entire meal.

I will definitely return to try some other dishes & the strawberry margarita!

Waitress was super nice and good food! Super quick. Great place with a full bar when killing time at the laundromat next door

With a plethora of good Mexican Restaurants around, I was a bit skeptical trying a new place. El Roy's brick and mortar restaurant is tops, but I tend to take out, as I do at What a Chicken.
The Mi Pueblo restaurants are great for eating in, some with outdoor seating.

So after walking by many times to get dessert at Fruita, we gave Don Pancho a try.

Warmly greeted when we entered. Both TV's had sports on.
Tortas were big and good.
Chile rellenos were delicious. Still a bit crispy while covered in sauce.
I wish they served Machacas on their breakfast menu. My favorite.

Servers checked in often and always had our chips, salsas, and drinks filled.

I nice cozy family owned Mexican place with plenty of parking and Fruita dessert next door.

I'm not sure why El Roy's gets the most attention in Petaluma. I finally tried Don Pancho's and find it to be the best Mexican food in Petaluma. We had the Camarones Rancheros, a pollo tamale, al pastor street taco, carnitas street taco and flan. Everything was excellent, but I thought the al pastor was the standout item. Chips with salsa and refried beans were also great. We sat outside but still received exceptional attentive service from the family that owns the restaurant. We'll be back.

Nice strip mall location. Never crowded. Who does pretty good service is even better.

Excellent, comida bien rica! I had two tacos (carnitas and al pastor), both were bien sabroso! Paired with a Tamarindo margarita, it was a fantastic lunch. Our server was a delight, and the art on the walls was eye-popping. I don't visit Petaluma often, but when i do, I'm gunna to stop back here again.

This is my family's go-to Mexican restaurant in Petaluma for both takeout and dine-in Mexican food. The food is always delicious, the portion sizes are generous, and the service is always amazing.

Takeout orders are always ready fast and the food is always fresh.

We've dined in with another family including 2 toddlers and all the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The wait staff were especially sweet with our kids.

My favorite order is the carnitas fajitas... I've ordered other dishes that I liked, but I always go back to this. The seasoning is perfect and it's such a comforting, filling dish that leaves me with plenty of leftovers for the next meal.
