    I was walking around the area and this restaurant reminded me of many I have gone to on Mission Street. It was much cleaner and everyone inside was really nice in comparison.

    I ordered chiliquiles today and they came served up like soup.

    There was only one other customer, so I'm not sure how this could get past the two people working there. I used 6 napkins to mop up the extra cup of water that looked like spilled on my plate. I ended up leaving in disgust.

    This place used to be great...I don't know what happened.

    ae in around 6 something before I went to work at a bar near by, and the cashier had an attitude. I ordered a veggie burrito with no sour cream and guacamole. She charged mr almost $2, for the salsa.

    After reviewing my receipt she refunded me the charged. Gave eme my burrito in less than 5 mins. Worst burrito I have ever eaten, took only a few bites and proceeded to work.

    Don't eat here unless your starving or drunk from a near by bar.

    Thoughts of warding off the chilly morning with some comfort food had me stopping by Pancho's for take out.

    Sopa de pollo (Mexican-style hot chicken soup $9.95 per bowl) would sure hit the spot.

    Unfortunately what I got was a bowl of hearty but very bland soup.

    I squeezed the wedge of lime to give the broth a shot of citrus. And the soup had a bit of umph that disappeared in a flash. Spoonful after spoonful through fresh vegetables - carrots, onions, potato, celery and even bits of fresh avocado - as well as good sized chunks of chicken meat and rice, I was searching for that elusive satisfying bite. Never found it.

    Besides the tortilla that came with the soup, I did enjoy the complimentary warm house tortilla chips with pico de gallo salsa.

    Maybe I picked up the soup far too early in the day so the flavor had not had time to meld together from all the ingredients? But darn, I was so disappointed that my fond memory has been shattered.

    Would I be willing to try Pancho's soup again?

    Yes, I would. But next time I'll keep in mind to stop by later in the day and hope the cook had the foresight to set the pot rolling with the soup early and that he remembered to season it well.
