Pancho’s is often lined up down the block, but don’t be discouraged. It’s worth the wait. And, the server will bring you a beverage while you wait for a table. Or, even better, come for a late-night snack when the lines disappear. This sidewalk hot spot is known for their Al Pastor, and the poor fellow that stands in front of that blazing hot grill for hours.
