Score 83/100 · Order: Carne asada burrito, machaca plate · $8–15
Los Panchos is what a good San Diego taco shop looks like when it stays independent: griddled asada, machaca with real texture, and portions that hold up for the price. Nothing here is trendy and nothing needs to be.
Local tip: Ask for the roasted chile salsa — it's made in-house daily.
