As I write this, I am eating warmed-up leftovers and they're as good as when I ate their food fresh from the oven. While... visiting Texas and asking locals for the best Mexican food restaurant, I was given this advice; "If you see a 'hole-in-the-wall'looking place that's been in business for a long time, THAT is the place you want to eat at because the food is so good, peopledo not care what the place looks like." Panchos is no hole-in-the-wall place, but one has to admit that it's not as slick andnew as the other Mexican restaurant just a minute or two away. I'll be honest, I had forgotten the advice I'd been given. Itried the other restaurant several times since the pandemic began and each time I was given bland, spiceless food prepared withno passion or heritage. Then I drove past Panchos several times wanting Mexican food but just not sure if I wanted to take thechance of a "non-slick" Pittsfield North Street restaurant. I even poked my head in once and saw empty tables and walked backout. I was so mistaken! And I apologize to Panchos for judging. I ordered Pescado a la Veracruzana (Fish fillet with sauteedvegetables) and a Chicken Chimichanga. I also requested a non-menu item - french fries but prepared like nachos; essentiallynachos with fries instead of nacho chips.) That special order was so good! The french fries are made of real potatoes andcooked with spices (unlike so many other places). Those, alone, would've been really good. Add all the toppings and I wasloving life. The flavors blended perfectly. My wife and stepson REALLY enjoyed the chicken chimichanga. They loved the spicesand the little bit of zing that came along with every bite. I think the fish fillet was tilapia, but it was a little thickerthan most tilapia so I'm not 100% sure. Either way, the fish and vegetables were prepared with just enough seasoning to have alittle bite, but more importantly for me, full of flavor that stayed with me while I chewed and long Read more
Would give 0 stars if possible. Was very excited to try this restaurant, but will never return again. Walked in, no greeting by... either staff in the front. Nearly empty restaurant, and we decided to sit at the bar for convenience. Immediately the malebartender calls out to us ?it?s dirty here, that?s why we wait to sit down.? No ?wait to be seated? sign or manners so that wasour cue to leave. Read more
Pancho?s may not be the only place to find Mexican cuisine in Pittsfield, but it is the only to have consistently provided high... quality food and service throughout my life (27 y/o). There is no place I would recommend more & highly encourage all to stop in- a choice you will not regret! Read more
Good food , reasonable prices. We both ordered Chicken Chimichangas and they were delicious. Free chips and salsa to start. We... asked for guacamole with the chips, which was terrific. Decor is so-so but not offensive. We stopped in for lunch around 12:30pm on a Thursday, only customers were one other table. A few folks came in for takeout. Next time in town, I'd come back.

Having grown up in the southwest, It's always a sweet relief to find authentic Mexican food up here. I had the chicken... enchiladas and flautas appitizer along with a chicken chinichanga to go cause I don't make it down here often enough from Adams. Read more
The food was so bad we went through Taco Bell drive through on our way home. Chips were stale, salsa had no flavor and very... watery. Got fajitas and the meat and vegetables tasted freezer burnt and the tortillas were stale and chewy. Read more
