El Sabor Autentico

From humble beginnings rooted in decades of Mexican taquería tradition, we’ve brought the bold, authentic flavors of real ingredients and time-tested recipes to San Mateo. For years, our super burritos, tacos, and diverse Mexican menu have helped make Pancho Villa a neighborhood favorite — serving up the kind of hearty, flavorful food that turns first-time visitors into regulars.

Celebrated. Fresh. Unmistakably Pancho Villa.


Our salsa bar has earned top honors at the California State Fair year after year, and one taste explains why. We hand-prep every batch daily—chiles roasted, tomatoes chopped, citrus squeezed—so the flavors stay bright, balanced, and bold.
