Taqueria San Pancho

The most authentic tacos I've had in the city, very comparative to street tacos in Mexico and I frequent Mexico at least 5x a year. I used to work around the area and will now drive the 45+ minutes at the very least monthly to grab 20 tacos at a time. They are quick and it's always packed.

My favorite taco spot in Tucker. They have many options and food available. Admittedly I only get the tacos and I've never been disappointed. There hasn't been a meat option I didn't like, they're all good.The prices are amazing too. The line can get long but the wait is not long. They move through orders quickly. The cashiers are polite and friendly and speak both Spanish and English so there's no language barriers.

This is my go-to place for tacos! I absolutely love the topping bar with fresh limes, radishes, green sauce, red sauce, and more--it really lets you customize your tacos just the way you like. The area is always clean, and while it can be hard to find a seat sometimes due to how busy it gets, that's just shows how delicious the food is. Definitely worth the wait!

Tasty shrimp tacos. Very fresh. The dining room is standard but pristine and the service was welcoming and efficient. I plan on returning soon!

The steamed tacos, al vapor, are incredible! It's a busy place but very friendly and warm. Easy parking. Great salsa bar. If you're near, check it out.

This place is so good!! We made about a 30 minute drive to try it out and when we walked up to the line out the door we knew it was a good sign. I got three tacos a la plancha (carne asada, al pastor, shrimp) and three tacos al vapor (cabeza, lengua, cachete). My boyfriend got the exact same assortment. They were all yummy but the al vapor were our favorites. Will definitely be back here!

I was very impressed with San Pancho! Its a very cute, small, and clean restaurant where you order at the front. We got our take out order like 5 minutes after we ordered, so the preparation was very fast! We ordered the super nachos with steak and two steak quesadillas. Portion size for the super nachos were appropriate for two people to share. I think the nachos were my favorite, I just wish I had ordered a spicy salsa to go with it. Quesadillas were good too! They add a lot of cheese to it which made it super yummy. Overall I enjoyed my experience here and I will definitely be coming back. I think the next time I go, I will order their tacos.

I moved further out away from Norcross many years ago and where I'm at the authentic tacos still just don't hit no matter where I go. I will drive the 20-25 mins here just to have tacos that won't disappoint me. I got pollo (chicken) and carne asada (steak/beef) tacos and we split a big plate of rice. The pollo taco - 5/5 - the chicken is perfectly seasoned and very very tasty. A lot of places mess chicken tacos up but not this place. If a restaurant can do chicken tacos right they know what they're doing! Not overly salty, not bland, just perfect. The chicken is diced into pieces and not shredded just heads up. The carne asada taco - 5/5 - the steak tastes nice and a little smoky. Juicy and tender no tough pieces like other places. Not fatty from the taco I had today not sure about other days but I hateeee fat on my meat The rice is DE-LICIOUS and not dried out. It's moist enough and fresh not sticky. I'm pretty sure it's chicken bouillon and tomatoes blended and boiled but idk why this just tastes great here The chips and salsa is authentic tortillas cut and salsa is diced tomato onion jalapeño? Cilantro, it's not a red saucy salsa The salsa bar is pretty good, there's radish, limes, 3 types of salsa, Marinated oregano vinegary chili raw onions which aren't spicy like some other places. It looks like you can eat here under $6-10 per person I'm very interested in trying the nachos and hard tacos next time I'm giving this place a solid 6/5 they really hit the mark and more. I ate before I could take pics ‍

The Basics: This is authentic and the best quality Mexican food I have tried in Atlanta. There is not much to the dining room and there is no patio during covid times. You order at the counter and sit down at an open table. This restaurant is as casual as it gets and is meant for more of a quick stop in than a long meal. However, you must try the food!! Things I like: The food here is authentic and amazing! These are the best tacos I have ever tried. We tried the chicken, pork, and steak tacos and all are great and worth trying. They have corn tortillas that taste extremely fresh. We also ordered chips and queso and the chips are thick and crunchy. Must try taco spot for sure! Things I didn't like: There is not really an environment here to sit down and have a long meal and no real service. Also, there is no outdoor seating for the covid times. We ended up taking the food out to our car and eating it there. Overall, a very down to earth and casual joint in Atlanta, but with some of the most authentic Mexican food you will try in the area!
