Don Pancho

My husband and I stopped here on our way back home (it’s about an hour from us) and we would honestly drive back out just for this place. Authentic Mexican food with a home cooked taste. Non-​greasy, very fresh and flavorful. The salsas are fantastic. The tostadas were super fresh and piled high with veggies and shrimp. Tamales were great. My husband’s whole tilapia was cooked to perfection in a wonderful sauce. Really, just great great food. And we got a LOT of food for the price. We will definitely be coming back. Oh, and cool thing too, they have a drive thru!

My family and I love coming to this restaurant! The food is amazing. This restaurant comes with a salsa bar and fresh chips that you can help yourself. Normally, when we go the TVs have Mexican soap operas playing and I love the pinatas hanging from the ceiling. The atmosphere is never too loud and we never had to complain about the noise. The food is cheap but very delicious, worth every penny! I have tried almost everything on the menu and the only thing I wasn’t overly impressed with was their tamale. It was the only thing that lacked flavor. However, all their other tacos, fajitas, burritos, tostadas, etc are very delicious with very well-​seasoned, tender meat on their plates. The waitress that is always waiting on us is very nice and patient with our lack of Spanish. She knows enough English, just need to explain plainly. We have never had an issue with our order. We have gone back as a family several times and have been happily satisfied every time. You need to go to the register to pay, which is not a problem. However, right in front of the register there is a freezer with ice cream. You have to have one! They are such a treat, all flavors are delicious! We have made my father go and buy just the ice cream so we can enjoy them on the weekends. Highly recommend this restaurant. They have excellent food, they are kind and patient people, and have a pretty clean restaurant. Nothing to complain about.

First and foremost, this is a taqueria, which isn’t your average Mexican restaurant. If you’ve never been to a taqueria and decide to check this place out, it sets the bar high. In short, taquerias have some of the most authentic Mexican foods that you’ll ever find. Most taquerias have difficult to translate, Spanish menus, but no here. I appreciated the fact that the menu consisted of mostly pictures, they were a bit distorted, but appreciated none the less.
The chips and salsa bar was awesome! They had at least 5 different salsa varieties to choose from, in addition to limes, onion and cilantro. Even the regular salsa had a bit of a kick to it, but I’m a sissy when it comes to spicy salsas. If you like spicy salsas, you’ll be in heaven here.
Everything on the lunch part of the menu was $ 5.49, so reasonably priced, especially because offer the free chips and salsa bar too. I went with the burrito platter and asked for my cheese sauce on the side. The lady taking our order had an issue understanding me, but all of our orders came out correctly. There were five of us and our food all came out at separate times, which is always completely fine with me. I’d rather they bring everything out individually, than cause something to go cold, due to the wait on the other meals. The menu didn’t explain what the burrito platter consisted of, and when I asked the lady taking my order, there was a language barrier. To sum it up, it comes with grilled chicken, rice and beans, but they’re stuffed inside of the burrito, along with sour cream. I was a good sport and ate it, even though I hate sour cream.
Cons… The language barrier. The tile in the floor was broken in spots. The loud Mexican music. I know, the music added to the experience, but it was so super loud, that we had to talk loud to hear each other at our table.

Legit Mexican food. Yes! Happiness! This is the best place to eat in Morristown hands down. I wish we had Mexican food like this in Philly, but we don’t. Everything I had here was delicious and cheap. If you aren’t going here and you live in Morristown, you are seriously missing out. I stuffed my face, and plan to do the same when I return to Motown.
I asked my parents if they’d been here when I returned to my hometown after not having visited for about three years. They hadn’t, but my uncle had been. He said it was good stuff, so I met up with him, my aunt, and my cousin on my first evening back in town. This place is very unassuming from the outside. It’s in the old Burger Chef. The inside looks clean though, and for me the food is more important than the atmosphere. The atmosphere was welcoming though as the server was friendly and happy to answer my questions about the menu.
You can sit where you want, and there is a large salsa bar. The chips are pre-​packaged and leave something to be desired, but there are so many varieties of delicious, fiery salsa that makes up for it. I ordered the whole fish, which was tilapia, diablo style. Usually tilapia doesn’t impress, but it came out all crispy with some smokey pepper sauce. The portion was generous and there was a nice little cactus salad and avocado with it. Yum!
My husband had a sandwich that was bigger than a person should humanly be able to eat. He said it was good though. He way over-​ordered because he thought it would be smaller and got tamales too. No worries though. He was able to get the sandwich wrapped up and enjoy it later.
The food was so good that my husband and I came back the next day for lunch. I thought I was ordering light since we had a large dinner ahead of us that night at Blackberry Farms, but my two chicken gorditas and one shrimp tostada turned out to be a lot of food! The chicken was nice and crisp and the corn gordita was fresh and tender like a thin arepa. The tostada was large, flaky, and piled high with shrimp. Of course I helped myself to that delicious burny, flavorful salsa. It went well with my gorditas.
Don’t miss this place if you’re in the area. I just wish I had a place like it closer. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town.

Food is amazing! Salsa is best I’ve had! Don’t let the modest building scare you. You want authentic Mexican? This is the place.

I didn’t think the food was all that great and I felt very unwelcome there. The server just took my order never came back to ask how it was. Didn’t give me my check had to go to register to get it and never said anything to me. So I will not be going back. I do not recommend it either.

We love this place. So many of the «Mexican» restaurants are chains that serve food that is far from authentic. I have decided that if they don’t serve horchata, they aren’t likely to be very good at other things. Don Pancho has horchata, delicious salsas, and very tasty food. I’ll be back.

This place is good! My sister in law is Mexican and this is like her mother’s food. Nashville doesn’t have anything close to as good. Fresh, outstanding flavours, HOT salsa!

The best, most authentic Mexican restaurant ever. The tacos with homemade corn tortillas, and fresh cilantro topped with a squeeze of lime and a dash of one of their homemade salsas are the best. Also, not to be missed, is the fresh made Coktel De Camaron which is just out of this world for the ceviche lover. Don’t be fooled by the somewhat scruffy appearance of this place and the surroundings, but I have been eating here for a good 10 years, and have never been disappointed.

I can’t believe there’s food this good in Morristown.
At $ 1.60 each, the tacos are easily the best deal in town. Served simple: just some tasty meat on a corn tortilla, topped with chopped onion and cilantro.
Great salsa options, too.
