Panchos Burritos Pizza - Pittsfield

Good food, reasonable prices. We ordered both Chicken Chimichangas and they were delicious. Start free chips and salsa. We asked for Guacamole with the chips, which was fantastic. Decor is so-so, but not insulting. We stopped for lunch on Thursday at 12:30, only customers were another table. Some people came for the take-out. Next time in town, I'd come back.

Panchos is perhaps not the only place to find Mexican cuisine in Pittsfield, but it is the only one that have constantly provided high-quality food and service in my life (27 y/o). There is no place I would recommend to encourage more to stop all in a choice Don't regret it!

Raised in the southwest, It is always a sweet relief to find authentic Mexican food here. I had to go the chicken enchiladas and Fröteas appetizer together with a chicken chinichanga because I don't often do it here enough of Adams.

The Beans were out of this world. We walked in 10 mins before they closed after traveling for 14 hours and they served us with a smile. Everything was delicious.

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, people do 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 and new as the other Mexican restaurant just a minute or two away. I 'll be honest, I had forgotten the advice I 'd been given. I tried the other restaurant several times since the pandemic began and each time I was given bland, spiceless food prepared with no passion or heritage. Then I drove past Panchos several times wanting Mexican food but just not sure if I wanted to take the chance of a non slick Pittsfield North Street restaurant. I even poked my head in once and saw empty tables and walked back out. I was so mistaken! And I apologize to Panchos for judging. I ordered Pescado a la Veracruzana (Fish fillet with sauteed vegetables and a Chicken Chimichanga. I also requested a non menu item french fries but prepared like nachos; essentially nachos with fries instead of nacho chips. That special order was so good! The french fries are made of real potatoes and cooked with spices (unlike so many other places . Those, alone, would 've been really good. Add all the toppings and I was loving life. The flavors blended perfectly. My wife and stepson REALLY enjoyed the chicken chimichanga. They loved the spices and the little bit of zing that came along with every bite. I think the fish fillet was tilapia, but it was a little thicker than most tilapia so I 'm not 100% sure. Either way, the fish and vegetables were prepared with just enough seasoning to have a little bite, but more importantly for me, full of flavor that stayed with me while I chewed and long after I swallowed. I was able to take my time and really enjoy the spices and flavors. The real test for me (I travel a lot and eat Mexican almost everywhere I visit is the rice. Too many places (including that place nearby have bland, almost tasteless rice as though they cooked whatever was in the box/bag and added no other spices. At Panchos, BOTH the rice and refried beans were prepared by a chef that seems to actually care to add a little heritage to their food. I usually end up having to mix the rice and beans with the other food to get the flavors I 'm seeking, but not here. I enjoyed them on their own and for that alone, my highest compliments to the chef. I am so happy I found a Mexican restaurant that actually cares about the food. Don 't be like I was at first regarding its location and how many hipsters appear to not be dining (in comparison . Panchos is the real deal.
